Happy Birthday Cody!

Today is Cody's 29th birthday. Happy Birthday Honey! He had to work all day, so we were sad that we didn't get to celebrate with him today, but we did have a family party the other day! I keep teasing him that he has one more year before he turns old. LOL! He got called out on a fire this evening, but I am sure that he doesn't mind. I heard that his crew got a cake for him today. I really think that was nice of them. I forgot to take pictures @ the party so I found a cute picture of Cody and Cadence. We love you Cody! Happy Birthday! We hope your day was great! Love, Jill, Cadence, and Kyndee.

New Family Pictures

I am so excited we finally got some new family pictures. The last time we got family pics was when I was 6 months pregnant with Kyndee. Our girls are growing so fast. I hope you enjoy the pictures. My friend Megan did the pictures for us. I think she did an awesome job! Thanks Megan!

Brynlie's haircut

I got to cut my friends little girls hair when I went to Salt Lake. It was her 1st haircut. It turned out so cute! She was so good for me! I know I am totally in the zone! And yes, I need to take care of my roots.

Our trip to Salt Lake

Well, we got back a couple of days ago. We had so much fun! We went to the zoo, went shopping, went to Ikea, also took the kids to one of those bounce house places, and just hung out. We had a way fun trip! Thank You Summer and James for making our trip awesome! The kids even slept most the way up and back, thank goodness! Sorry I forgot my camera of course, so the pictures are from my phone and of course, my camera doesn't take the best pictures.

Cadence thought it was fun to push her sister. And Kyndee was laughing the whole time her sister was pushing her.

I was laughing so hard when my friend's sister put this bra up to Cadence. And Cadence thought it was pretty funny too!At the zoo with the kids
Aren't they cute! (the one on the right is Cadence's friend Brynlie)

We're outta here! Well almost!

In the morning the kiddos and I are off to Salt Lake to see my friend Summer. We are really excited, I just hope the kids are good in the car. This will be the 1st time I will be driving by myself to Salt Lake. We will be back for Father's Day and I will post pictures of the trip.

New nephew and new calling

So on Monday June 2nd, I got a new nephew. His name is Trevon and he is a cutie! It's crazy, I have a neice and nephew only 2 weeks apart. I am excited about these new babies. Cody and I now have 13 nieces and nephews. Cadence has been so excited going to see her new cousins! She has told me how little they are, and when they cry she'll say "Oh, whats the matter". She is so cute! Then Kyndee just wants to hit them, she's not very soft. She just doesn't understand that concept yet!

On Sunday, I was released from Young Womens. I had been serving in there for just over 2 years. I was sad to leave the girls, but I know it'll be good to have a change. They called me to be the 2nd counselor in the Primary Presidency. I am excited about it, but also nervous, because I am over scouting now. I know nothing about scouting. I guess I'll learn. I am very excited for who I'll be working with. They are great women and I know we will get along great! Two of the women have been in there for a while. Change is good I think! If anyone has any great sharing time ideas, I would love to hear them because I will have to do sharing time once a month.

Funny pictures

Ok, so I was looking through my pictures on my computer and I came across some funny pictures and decided to share them with you. I hope you enjoy these.

This is Cadence and her Grandpa Cotten. He is such a good sport! She wanted the cowboy hat and he got the girly hat! Doesn't he look good in it! Cadence really loves her Grandpa.

So this was me on my birthday. It was funny because my father-in-law was teasing me saying "work it for the camera, come on flip your hair". I am sitting on the new comforter I got for my birthday.

He got a picture just at the right moment! I know, I look crazy! What a perfect shot though right! I was laughing so hard after.

This one of Cadence's face crack me up. She is so funny! She is always making me laugh.

Update

Well, it has been pretty crazy around here! Just a week ago, my sister had a baby. I took care of my 4 year old neice for a couple of days, while her Mom was recovering. Cadence and her cousin had lots of fun together. The night after my niece Zoe left, Cadence came into my room and was crying. She told me that she missed Zoe. I thought that was so sweet that she missed her cousin. I have been over at my sister's house almost everyday trying to help out with whatever she needs. I am really excited to have a new niece. Sorry I don't have a picture yet. My sister had a c-section so she can't do a whole lot for a while. My new nieces name is Bailey. She is so sweet and so adorable. I just love holding her. That is when she's not crying. LOL!

Over the weekend (Memorial weekend). I went to a family reunion on my Dad's side of the family. It was a lot of fun and so nice to see all of the family. My Dad was the only one going from our family, because my Mom decided she need to stay and help my sister. So I didn't want my Dad to have to go alone. Plus, I knew it would be fun to see everyone.

My brother and his wife are expecting baby #3 anytime now. I am looking forward to helping them out with their kiddos when the baby comes. They are having a boy. I am so excited with these new babies in the family. And I really enjoy helping out. It definently make me realize I am not ready for another one anytime soon! I forgot how hard the newborn stage is when the baby is so dependant on you. It is so much fun to see my family grow.

Yesterday, I finally got a chance to clean my house and relax after all of the craziness. It was so nice. Although I did clean most of the day and make dinner for my sister. It is so hard to clean with 2 kids. Cadence is pretty good but Kyndee always gets so mad when I am not paying attention to her. I can't wait until her and Cadence can play more together. I love that I have 2 girls that are pretty close together. I have been trying to plan a trip to go see my good friend Summer. Our good friends James and Summer moved to Lehi a couple of weeks ago. I have missed her lots. I hadn't posted anything lately so I thought I would update you all so you know we are still alive.

Kyndee's surgery

Here are some new pictures of Kyndee. On Tuesday she had to have surgery. She had a blocked tear duct still. The Dr. decided she needed surgery to open the duct up. Most babies are born with blocked tear ducts, but they open up on their own. It it does open up by 1 year, then it usually doesn't. She did great! It was a very long day though. She was sure glad to see her Mommy and Daddy after she came out of the anastesia. It sure is tough on Moms to have their kids go through any surgery, even minor. I love these new pics of her. She is getting so big. She is starting to look more like a little girl rather than a baby now. I can't believe how fast they grow.

Cadence loves flowers
