Old or New news?!

So I know that most of you probably know this, but I am officially posting that I am pregnant! I went to the dr today and everything looks good, and the heartbeat is strong. I am almost 15 weeks so that puts me in the second trimester! We will be able to find out what we are having in about a month or so. We have waited a long time for this to happen for us, and I am so thankful that it finally has!

Special Day!

So on Saturday me, Cade, and Oakley got to go to the temple and get sealed! It was one of the most awesome days of my life! I am so thankful that we finally got there, and that we are going to be able to be together forever! And I am so grateful to all of my family and all of Cades family for coming a supporting us. It means so much more when you are surrounded by so many people who you love!

Me and Cade...This picture kinda says how goofy we are together!

It was so COLD outside taking pictures, that in some of them we are not smiling the best! I promise Oakley was happier than she looks in this picture though!

Redneck Sledding

Cade took Oakley on her first sledding experience the other day! He got a car hood and tied it to the back of the rhino, and drug her and her cousin Rope around in the field next to our house! She had so much fun. Man its fun to live in a small town!!!!

Christmas

We had a really good christmas this year. We went over to my mom and dads on Christmas Eve and did the whole read from the bible and open a christmas eve present thing. Here are all the little girls in their new pajamas! They always have so much fun playing together when they get together! Christmas morning we got up and opened presents at our house, and then went over to my parents house again for YUMMY YUMMY homemade sourdough waffles...thanks Dad!!! Then we went over to Cades parents house. It was a good christmas, but I'm kinda glad that the holidays are over, it just always seems so crazy!

Oakley and all her presents! She is so spoiled!

Christmas Time

Sunday we had the annual Riding Christmas party. It was a lot of fun, and a lot of good food! The kids all love when Santa shows up and has a present for each of them. Last year Oakley was terrified of Santa. She was excited as long as she didn't have to get close to him. She couldn't have been more different this year. Santa walked in, and she ran over and gave him a big hug! Everyone stopped what they were doing, and stood there with their mouths open. (Everyone remembered last year!) It was pretty funny. I'm glad that she got over her fear of him!

We finally got some snow today! I can't believe that it is almost Christmas, and this is the first big snow storm we've had. Oakley saw it this morning, and couldn't wait to get out in it and play! So thats what she did this morning for a while. I went out with her later and tried to make a snow man, but the snow wasn't wet enough. Maybe we'll get to make one soon!

She loves making snow angels!

The Grinch

So Oakley discovered the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas! We have to watch it at least once a day now! She thinks it is so funny. It is the version with Jim Carrey in it. He did such a good job. Fun Christmas movies!
