6 Years!!! Catching up on my posts!

We Celebrated our 6th year Anniversary on July 11th!! Time goes by so fast!!



We got to stay in an amazing place here in Idaho Falls called Destinations Inn. I highly recommend it to everyone! Our room theme was Venice, if you can't tell. Its hard to tell in the picture but the boat/tub is actually sitting in a pond and you have to walk across a little bridge to get there!

Summer fun!

We went golfing a couple of times and Caden was so fascinated with the whole game. I'm sure he was thinking his odd of hitting at least one ball were good.
Kyler with his "Happy Gilmore Swing"

Like father like son!


Playing in a canoe at Grandpa and Grandma Hulse's house.

Kyler and Caden sporting some of their daddy's hats!

I think Kyler had more soap on him than my car!!

4th of July Weekend! - catching up post!


Over the 4th of July we spent half our weekend at my parents house in Mud Lake and the other part up at Meadow Lake just up the mountain from the Ghost town of Gilmore in Idaho. We had an absolute blast! Literally some of the fireworks sounded like a blast!





Kyler on the 4 wheeler with Grandpa Kunde at Meadow Lake.

Justin and Caden, and Grandpa Hulse just getting back from a 4 wheeler ride.

This camp ground is so quiet and beautiful pictures don't even do it justice. Yes that is SNOW! The lake's elevation is about 9000 ft.

This mountain is so tall you literally have to look up to see the top!

My brother Dan and I climbed up to a big rock, it was a rough trail but lots of fun!

Kyler and his fishing buddy Chase, seen in previous posts!

Firework time!


In these two group picture you will notice a lot of us had a hard time keeping our eyes open when the camera flashed. We tried several times and had to give up trying because some people were starting to see spots!

Lava Hot Springs





Caden all covered in spots!

This last week we discovered that Caden is allergic to antibiotics! He was on one and started breaking out then he was put on another antibiotic and he broke out even worse! This is what he looked like in the morning when he woke up!!


What a difference in mood in these pictures! He decided he was done smiling for the camera.

We were all not feeling good this last week. Justin, Caden and Kyler had sinus colds, then Caden got it in his eye then his ears. By that point enough is enough! Then I got it in the form of a migrane for 5 whole days. I truley have sympathy for those who suffer with head aches now!!

Kunde Family Reunion


We had our Kunde family reunion Memorial Day Weekend in Wolf creek Utah. It had an amazing outdoor pool which made it feel like it was officially Summer.This pool had a fun slide, but Kyler was not so sure he wanted to go down it.

He had to check it out from the top and from the bottom.
We tried to play tennis but the kids wanted to have fun too. Kyler was actually pretty good at playing for a four year old.

Olsen Family Reunion at BirchCreek

We went to the Olsen Reunion the weekend the end of May up to Birch Creek. It was fun to see all the family we don't see enough at to pretend to rough it out door for a couple of days. We rode for wheelers and fished, at great food and fished some more!

This was the first time we have taken Caden camping and we had an adventurous first night. He kept waking up until about 1am then from 1 to 4 am he just kept crying. I tried everything to calm him down and settle to sleep. I do have to admit it was pretty cold and I think he didn't like having a cold face. So at 4am Justin and I took off for a ride in the truck to help him fall asleep and ended up spending the rest of the night sleeping in the truck. Kyler was lucky and got to sleep in the camp trailer where it was toasty and warm.


Part of the gang fishing!
Kyler loves to fish!! If anyone was fishing he was right there with them. He fished all day long everyday.

Justin, Jason and Kyler fishing!
Kyler and Chase fishing!


With all the fish that were caught, we actually didn't eat any fish. We had some great camping food. Lynden cooked some great home grown Roscoe beef Steaks which was some of the best steak I have had in along time!!


Kyler and Joe with a fish

Kyler's first fish that weekend

Me and Caden pretending to fish. All he wanted to do was hold the pole and bob it up and down.

Joy school Graduation


I can not believe how fast Kyler is growing up!! He was so excited for Joy school every week this last year and graduated the middle of May. He was sad once he realized that he was going to be going to preschool for awhile. But I reassured him it was only for a couple of months then he will get to start back up again in a big preschool

At the Zoo



Kyler and his class mates

Kyler and Kaylee

You can't really see the monkey in the picture but it was right up to the glass looking at Kyler.


Caden thought these turtles were so cool. I could not believe they were out in the open for one or that they were up close to us. They are usually never out when we have been there.


For some reason this picture didn't come out clear but I just wanted to show the height difference. I forget how big Kyler is until he is around kids his own age. The girl in the green is actually over a year older than Kyler and his friend Austin who is in red has the exact same birthday as Kyler. Crazy huh!

The other day while riding in the car Kyler was talking to me -which is not a rare thing because he talks and asks question non stop in the car. He asked me "is today was a work day or a play day." I said that it was a little bit of both. Then he said " I like to work, but I love to play!" It made me laugh that he already knows a difference between the two. He loves working with Justin in the yard or helping him with anything he may be doing.

I love Ice cream

Kyler and Caden know how to enjoy the finer things in life- Huckle berry ice cream! Kyler had 3 cones which he was counting up when I took the picture and Caden just loves to be right next to Kyler doing what ever he may be doing.
Caden is such a sweet little guy!
Kaylee Colter and Caden, going on a wagon ride to see some of Uncle Roscoe's cows. I think kids just naturally love wagons.

One day for Kyler's joy school we got to go learn about and ride a horse. Kyler had no fear what so ever and went right up to the horse and was a natural at being a cow boy. He even had his cow boy gear on.

West Yellowstone



Since January we have spent four of our weekends in West Yellowstone snomachining. We love going up there, it is just time to relax and forget about any of our worries. We stopped on the trail and the trees looked so neat I had to get a picture. Justin sank down into the snow so for once I was taller.

Justin has gotten pretty good at side hilling, Unfortunatly, its hard to get a picture because he gets up there so far you can't tell him apart from a tree.

Caden is walking with his walker now. He is practicing in the miles and miles of hallway at the condo.

Kyler Chillin at the pool.


Caden in the 1 foot kiddie pool.


Look at what I found in the kitchen cupboard!


Kyler loves riding with his daddy.


But Caden can't go yet even though he really really wants to!

Mexico Adventures

While we were in Mexico we went on Many adventures. One of the most exciting was the canopy tours. I had never been zip lining. It was so much fun, we were literally flyin through the top of trees. It was so much fun.
One night we went of a dinner cruise. They took us out across the bay to a remote location that can only be reached by boat. We ate dinner and watched a show on the mayan culture. The whole beach was lit with Candles and tiki torches.


The Weather was so nice. I could not believe it was December. It was in the 80's all week long, it made me wonder why I live in Idaho during the winter.


Justin Caught a Mahi Mahi. They were pretty fish and tasted pretty good too.


I Miss the Beach!!

We got stuck in the Seattle air port on the way home. It was crazy, this is what it looked like.


Christmas Morning!

Halloween

Kyler was so excited to be spider man this year. He wore his costume almost every day for two weeks. He is showing off his big muscles! Caden was such a cute little pumpkin. His hair made such a cute little stem.


We went to the Green belt in Idaho Falls by the temple this last week to feed the ducks. I always thought it was fun when I was little. We wanted to take advantage of the last nice week of the year.




It was my turn to teach Kyler's Joy school this last week. It was fun for him but I was pretty tired by the end of the week. We made fun little spiders and leaned the letter S. I was also in charge of the Halloween Party. We made ghosts and flew them outside, They also wore their costumes.

We went to a football game in Shelly to watch Jana's dance team perform at half time. (Justin's sister) It was a really good game so it was fun to watch. It was kinda cold so we wrapped Caden up in a big fuzzy blanket. He fell right to sleep even though there were die hard parents yelling at the refs right next to us. Note to self "doen't become one of those kind of parents at a game" I don't think they realize how silly they are.

Yep, Those are staples!! We had an interesting afternoon on Sunday after church. Kyler was standing on our bed and playing around, I asked his to get off, so he bounced on his bum to sit down and get off, but he bounced backward and hit his head on the head board. Justin instantly knew what had happened and put pressure on it immediately so he didn't bleed too much. We left Caden with Justin's parents and took Kyler to Community Care. He was so brave, while the nurse was cleaning his wound, he said "thank you" in a quiet little voice. The nurse thought he was so cute and very polite. On the way home we taught him how to sing 10 little monkeys jumping on the bed, and got him his very own bubble gum ice cream for being so brave. Kyler showed off his "hole in my head" and the "special little bandaids" at his Joy School on monday.


Caden looks so much like "Jack Jack" (the baby off Incredibles) when we spike his hair. He loves taking a bath in the sink. Usually the water ends up all over the floor, so my floor is always clean.
Caden is on the move. He started doing an army crawl around 7 months and started crawling for real at 8 month. Now he is pulling himself up to everything at about 8 1/2 months. Before I know it he is going to be walking.
Kyler wants to be like his Grandpa and ride a motorcycle.
Caden always seems to find my broom and likes to push it across the floor.
Kyler is such a good big brother! Caden just loves him. Where ever Kyler is Caden is right next to him, or crying if he can't get to him.

Trying to climb the stairs-ohh nooo!
I love my baby!

Kaylee comes over twice a week to play. Don't they look like cousins?

Kyler and Caden get along so good. I can sit them by each other and usually without fail they will end up laughing at each other. I couldn't get either one of them to smile probably because they were both so focused on drinking. Caden has a thing with putting his feet up in the air. I can push them down and they go right back up.
Kyler is going to pre-pre school. I'm a little late in posting this but its too cute to pass by. On the first day of school, I was up early with Caden and I can hear that Kyler has woken up and moving around up stairs. When he finally does come downstairs he is fully dressed with his backpack on and say "I'm ready to go to school now!"
Since then I have switched his schools. He was going to one through the school district, but now he is in a joy school, where the different mothers take turns teaching. He loves learning with his friends in the ward.
Kyler loves apples!

Summer is OVER!!

I can't believe how fast this summer went by! I feel like there is a ton of things I didn't get done or have time to do! Kyler and Caden are growing up so fast, I need to do better at posting my pictures. Some of the pictures are sideways because I can't find my cord for my camera to the computer, I'm pretty sure Kyler walked off with it somewhere, So I downloaded them from another computer and didn't get them turned the right way.

Alaska Tee shirts from Aunt Star, Thanks!!

Justin got his elk back in August- pretty early, so hopefully it took some of the hunting fever out of him, but for some reason, I don't think it did!! It still had velvet on its horns.
We told Kyler that when you eat the food fills up your muscles to make them big, now every time we sit down to eat he wants to show us how big his muscles are by eating his food. -What ever works right!



At the Eastern Idaho State Fair Kyler got a balloon sword













My mom, sister and I picked apples at my Grandparents home last week and all the kids sat under the trees and ate all the apples that dropped to the ground. It was so cute!
Kyler, Kaylee, Caden, and Lynden

Caden is doing so good sitting up now, and has 5 teeth at the age of 8 months. He is such a happy little baby and just loves life and his big brother. They get eachother laughing so hard. It is so funny to watch, I always end up laughing at them too.
