Busy, Busy, Busy.... Fun, Fun, Fun

Time to catch up again...This could take a while so get comfortable.

At the end of July we sadly had to help my sister and brother in-law, Kimmy and Tyson, move. It has been so much fun having them live just up the street. Cayden and Spencer are still young but they are such good friends and love to play together. Spencer is a really good ring leader and teaches Cayden lots of things. Spencer thought Cayden how fun it is to climb stairs or for that matter, climb anything! I think he taught Cayden the art of diving too. Cayden dove for Kimmy to get her mac and cheese and a bookshelf broke his fall so he had a nice bump between his eyes and a beautiful black eye for a few days. So anyway, after a few very long evenings we got them moved into their new house in Loveland. They are only an hour away but we will miss having them close.

I took this just after I stopped him from climbing on top of the toy. (Guess who taught him to do that??)

Then Jared had a few days off work because his boss closed the shop. We decided it was a good time to take one last trip to Utah. We stayed at Jared's sister Jess' house on Wed and Thurs. We had such an awesome time hanging out. As soon as we got there and Jess said "Rylee, Jared and Katie and Cayden are here" Rylee came bouncing down the stairs saying "Katie, Katie, Katie" and then jumped into my arms. It made me feel SO good. We had such a great time hanging out with them. Then on Friday we headed down to Jared's mom's house and we stayed there until Sunday morning. On Saturday we took Cayden to see my Grandma and then to the Mt. Timp. temple where Jared and I were sealed. It was such a nice day. Then we went to the school where Leslie works and she showed us her library. It was very cool. After that we went into Tooele to the DI and I bought a ton of children's books to add to our collection. It was great! Sunday morning rolled around and we headed home. Cayden was such a trooper. He is a great traveler. The only time he got cranky was because his teeth were hurting. We are trying to get this teething thing under control.

We just love these girls!!! (and we love to spoil them!)

Jared even got his baby doll back. (and then it got thrown away)

On Monday and Tuesday I spent the day helping my mom get her house ready for my sister and brother in-law, Beth and Matias, to come. Matias had a court hearing yesterday to determine if he could stay in the country or not. Everyone expected him to be deported that night. But he didn't. Matias was given a HUGE blessing and is able to stay in the country until Feb. So he comes back for court in Feb. and has the option of voluntary leave. So he will be out of the country for a few months and then be able to get his papers and come back.

So life is good. We are happy. Cayden is growing just as he should. Jared is working hard and was given a salary position at work(which means a raise and benefits). And I have one more week to hang with Cayden before I return to work.

We hope everyone is doing well. LOVE TO ALL!!!
