I just thought it was a great picture of Brad. Totally him, isn't it?

"Do you have any coupons?"

The self checkout voice (particularly the one at Smith's) has always gotten stuck in my head after leaving the store. I have had a secret desire to actually be able to touch the "yes" button on the screen. Last night I was finally able to push that button and respond to the lovely automated lady who says "do you have any coupons". Sadly, it only saved me just over $3 (which is why I hardly ever bother with those dumb cluttery coupons), but I happily walked out with that voice stuck in my head again. Sorta reminds me of "welcome to movie phone... why don't you just tell me the name of the movie you want to see". "Do you have any coupons?"

Tractors and Dirt

If it seems like I include a picture with every post it's because I do. The reason is because I can't entertain with my writing like most of the witty people in my family so I am forced to provide something worth viewing.

Below are some pictures of Caden's first camping trip which happened back in June. I also took him to one of Brad's job sites because Caden loves tractors and is always pointing them out while riding in the car.

We went to Payson Lakes and Caden was filthy the entire time.


Caden playing with Brooklyn and Ryland, he doesn't put up with any sissy play.

That scoop is huge!

Summer Stuff

For all those who are checking every day to see if I have something new on my Blog, this one's for you. But don't expect too much. I really have no idea how anyone has time to update their blog every week, especially with summer going on. Plus I don't think we do much that is blog worthy. We have done a few fun things so far this summer so I decided to put more pictures up even though I should be working right now (don't tell my dad). So enjoy these pictures and keep hoping for more.



Caden I took Parent-Tot swimming lessons this summer and I found out how much he loves the water. The first few lessons I couldn't keep him in my arms. He wanted to dive down into the water all while pushing me away from him. He still thinks he can totally swim on his own and he definitely has no fear of the water (which is good and bad). He did end up learning some good skills and we are working really hard at blowing bubbles so he can learn to hold his breath.





This is a water slide that we had at our FHE group BBQ. He couldn't get enough and I should have worn my swim suit cause I got soaked too.


Brad's sister and mom were so nice to watch Caden while I went to Youth Conference and while Brad helped his uncle work on the road to his Cabin. I think he didn't even miss us. Caden always has so much fun with his cousins Brooklyn and Ryland.
