We've been busy!

Since I am not sure how to put all of this into a post or  multiple posts, I will forewarn you that it may be all over the place, and I am not sorry, after all it is my blog:) hahaha oh brother.

Lets start with school, I have loved my interiorscaping class this semester and I am going to be so bummed when its over next week! I can't believe it is my last horticulture class. So crazy.
 Well, in this class we learn all about plants indoors. Decorating, landscaping, care and handling, how the plants clean the air and decorating for Christmas. Lucky for me I have done this before, with Martin Roberts, and it made me really miss all my friends and work in Hawaii. I was assigned the East entrance, so enjoy Christmas in May.

Kade on the other hand can barely seem to leave his classes, he has fixed the wiring in my car, (which he learned how to do in class) he has "Lubed" his brakes in his own car, and if you have questions about that, please ask him... I know nothing about the process... Bad wife probably not to get so involved in his hobbies, but there is only some much 'car' this girl can handle. His average day includes the five hours of class, lunch with me, a little Top Gear, then obsessing and fixing the new thing he learned is wrong with his car then work:) I love seeing him so involved with his classes, even though he hates the homework, he secretly loves learning all the cool stuff. He also got a dirt bike this weekend, and I didn't grab any pictures... lame I know.

So things we have been doing together!
Doctors offices and visits.
eating at super cool 50's diner, in Idaho Falls.

He is so darling, I know! 

Meeting our darling niece Keylee at Porter Park. She was on a field trip and we got to steal her!

please excuse my fat face syndrome...

girls will be girls!

a little side note, the difference from Orange County to Blackfoot,
the OC:  a kid would have to bring a note signed by mom, then have the teacher call mom just to make sure the notes not fake so said child can leave with family or friend.
Blackfoot: no advanced notice, teacher simply talks to mom, and Keylee was free to come with us!
We ate snow cones, guacamole and chips in the only sunshine Rexburg has to offer, Windy Sunshine.

Then she went with  Uncle Kade to the mall while I ducked into the hospital for a quick appointment. When I had gotten back to the car, they surprised me big time, with the matching birthstone necklace to my christmas earrings and a super cute new dress, do I get any luckier? Not likely!

We dropped her off and I was sad I couldn't listen to anymore T-swift on the way home, not Kades favorite, but Keylee and I sang almost all the way home. That and I was bummed we couldn't keep her longer she is such a sweetheart! We love you cute girl!

We also went to Boise this weekend, to pick up a dirt bike riding gear and such but....

First and foremost for Miss Braylen's and Alyssa's Dance recital. So fun! Its hard when you live far away from family, but its so fun to get to go to these things! Its like a a sneak peak at what they do with their time when you are gone.

Enjoy these darling Pictures

and a second time so braylen's sleeve isn't covering her cute face:)

The rest of the weekend was so fun! I spent some time with my new sisters- in- law.... Still sounds super odd to say out loud, I love having more family, now to just spend time with them and get to know them better... when they live all over! Oh well, we went shopping... which seriously could be a sport! I got some super cute things! I am so grateful for Kade who works hard so I could get some badly needed some clothes! 

It's been so much fun this week being able to see family, I hope they all know how much we love them. Kade and I are having so much fun being aunt and uncle, even though he has been a uncle for what 14 yrs already? hahaha he feels like he can relate to the kiddos better now, and I just love all the kids, Being the oldest and a cousin makes being an aunt even cooler, I told Kade when we were dating I want to be a cool aunt, and he just laughed haha I guess we will have to wait a few years to ask, I had some great examples and hopefully I pass the test! Next weekend looks like its going to be more Bailey side fun! Can't wait! 

I feel sufficiently caught up now!

catch you soon,
