Another week gone...

What a beautiful day today has been! Windy but sunny. I can feel spring coming!

Sacrament Meeting was fantastic this morning. We had a member of the Quorum of the Seventy visit and what an uplifting meeting it was. Cade appreciated the meeting too. At one point he threw his hands in the air and yelled. "Woo!" Then clapped. Wrong congregation son. One of the things that stuck with me most was this, "You can not always help doing what you didn't plan on doing, but you have the CHOICE to like what you do." I absolutely despise being away from my home every day while I work. I am thankful that Derrick is able to stay home with the boys, but I wish it was me. I need to get over it. It is what it is and I need to have a MUCH better attitude about it.

After Sacrament Meeting our Home Teacher and our Bishop gave Cade a great blessing. Poor little guy. His rash was a form of staph. The antibiotics gave him the runs that burned the heck out of his little rear. His burn/rash was so bad that I had to leave work early on Thursday and stay home on Friday because it took both Derrick and I to change a diaper. He is doing much better this evening.

Rad and Cade both have a new favorite... the original Nintendo. They play Duck Hunt and think that it is the coolest thing ever! So glad that we kept that for so many years now!

Shayli and I have been having fun with our goats. Yesterday we laughed so hard watching our largest goat, Cracker, get up on his hind legs and walk around the barn like a man.

We had a lot of fun as a family this weekend. We went our to dinner on Friday night and then hit up the local bowling alley. Shayli kicked my hiney and Derrick beat us all.

I have seen 2 different herds of elk and over 100 deer this week. I LOVE where we live!

Here are some pics that I downloaded from Shayli's IPod. They are just some random pictures and some pictures from a few weekends ago at the Kidd's house. We love them!
