BEST DAY EVER!!!

Last Thursday I got to spend the whole afternoon and evening with my sisters and mom. Only Kim was missing and we wished so much she was with us! We had no kids, except for Kade since he is still semi-attached to me:-) It was so relaxing. I really must not go out without the kids very often because this day rivaled some of the very best days of my life!!! We first met up and did a little shopping and then moved on to get pedicures. Each of us got different colors and designs and as you can see above, they are so cute! Then we did more shopping, staying at the mall as long as we wanted. To top off the night we went to The Stagecoach steakhouse, a family favorite, for dinner. Jenny and I split a filet mingon and giant prawns and Missy and my mom split the halibut chunks and prawns. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! It was such fun and gave me a much needed rejuvination.

Roystone Hotsprings

We went to this great hotsprings last Saturday with some of our Bible Study group. Jenny, Chad and boys, Craig and Brenda and girls, and us soaked it up at Roystone Hotsprings. It's a great natural hotsprings pool just outside of Emmett. The water is around 98 degrees and feels so good. They have a covered pool along with a hot tub and indoor lodge area for get togethers. We had such fun! I even took Kade in for his first swim and he loved it... for a while:-)

Happy 31st to my hubby...

Adam turned 31 this past Saturday (April 2nd). We went with some of our Bible study group to Roystone Hotsprings for a little bit of swimming and then Craig and Brenda watched our 2 oldest while we went out to dinner. We used the free birthday dinner card at Tucano's Brazillian Grill where we stuffed our faces with all you can eat grilled meats and salad bar! Yum! Then Sunday we went out to dinner with the fams at Texas Roadhouse. The picture is horrible but I had to add it. They made Adam sit on a saddle with his ice cream while everyone in there restaraunt shouted "Yee Haw!". It was great! I have the best husband ever and I'm thankful for him every single day. He continues to make me laugh, is my best friend and encourager, supports me as a parent, and treats me the way any woman would want to be treated by a man! He is a wonderful dad and I love seeing him wrestle and play ball with Cole and Mason and then turn around and coo and love on Kade. I'm such a lucky girl to have such a wonderful guy!!! Looking forward to the next 31 years!!!

Random pics from the week. Sweet brothers, cute boys!

Kade's First Bottle...

Sadly, I am going to be returning to work this coming Sunday. I have LOVED being home with the boys these past 2 months and it seems like it's gone so fast. I know I shouldn't complain because I'm going to be going back one evening (3p-11p) shift a week for the first couple of weeks and then will go back to 2 shifts a week after that. If I have to work I guess that's about as good as it gets:-) It will be fun to see everyone at work again and see what has been going on with our patients though, so it's not all bad.

Anyways, to the point of my post, we gave Kade his first bottle today in preparation of my being gone. He was a champ and after a few seconds of letting milk run down his cheek, he gladly drank it down! Both boys were so anxious to help and took turns holding the bottle. They love being big brothers!

As I was getting ready to pump prior to Kade's bottle, Cole started to show a very large interest in how milk was pumped from me into the bottle. Needless to say, all pumping will be done behind closed doors. Curious 4 year olds don't need a lesson in breast pumping:-)

Smiles!!!

Yeah! Kade is really starting to smile on his own when we talk to him. He just loves to be talked to and coo'd at and when he's in the mood he'll shower you with smiles! I love it when my babies start to show how much they love me (and their dad too)!

More pictures...

I don't have anything exciting to say so I'm just going to post pictures and a couple cute videos! Those are the best anyways:-)
