I have so many more pictures but I can not get them to download. I'll keep trying. Here are some things that we have been doing the last couple months.

Mountain Biking: Chad and I have been really getting into mountain biking lately. They have some really fun trails up Moscow Mt. The first time we went it was for our date night. We picked a pretty rough trail and I am sure Chad thought I was going to kill myself, but we had an awesome time. It is such a thrill. The next time we went we met up with some friends from the ward and some of their cc-workers. Most of them had been biking for years so I was kind of nervous, because I am just a beginner. They were super nice and really funny. After biking we grilled so hot dogs and talked until it was time to go pick up the boys.
Last weekend on our date night we went biking to a spot where Chad had seen some turkeys. Chad is a hard man to keep up with. Last time he took his friend hunting his friend threw up when he got to the truck. I could understand why when I went with Chad. He never slows his pace even when he's walking up hill. He never stops to take a breather and he pulls his gun up like lightning when he sees a bird fly. It was so fun to see Chad in his realm and I understand why he loves to hunt. Being in the mountains is so refreshing, everything is so beautiful and peaceful.

Quade started preschool: Quade went to preschool last year and liked it but this year he really loves it. He doesn't have any problem leaving me and I am so excited with his new teacher. He has been picking up his letter and numbers to quickly this year. His class has four boys and ten girls. I asked him if he played with the girls he sad "They dress funny I only play with girls that are my sister like Alayna." Quade and Alayna played so much together in the summer that they basically were brother sister.

Kaden Hanging With Mom: Kaden wants to go to school so bad; for the fist few days he cried every time we dropped Quade off. He understands that when he turns three he gets to go to school. I enjoy my time with Kaden. We take Chad lunch and Kaden gets to play at the park. When Quade gets home he gets really excited and then about a half an hour later they are getting on each others nerves and fighting. They seem to do this a lot I hope that it kind of just a boy thing.

Run Run Run: I am so proud of myself I ran a 5K a couple of weekends ago. I know that it's not that far but for me it was a great accomplishment. Our ward had a 5k run and a couple of my friends would go running at night. All of of were to scared to go by ourselves so we all started to go together. It was great to have some on to help you keep going when you feel like stopping. We finished our run just under time we had wanted. They added a couple of hill to the run that we hadn't prepared for. I felt great. After Chad and I got married my knee started to hurt so I got out of the habit of working out. My knee is still bothering me but I love how I feel when I work out. I want to be a good example to my kids, and I know they have noticed a difference. I have more energy to play with them and they are fun to exercise with in the house when I can't go outside. They gather up all the rugs in the house when it's time to get out the mats. The only down fall to this is they like to steal my weight and I am stuck using a can of family size cream of chicken soup.

Chad: What a good guy. He is such a good dad. He has so much patience and he understands so well what the boys are thinking when they do something wrong. He is working really hard in school and is so motivated to get a good job with a good company. I look up to him so much. He's not afraid to try something new. He has worked so many different jobs and has so many skills. I am such a chicken to try anything new. He is such a good example to his boys and they want so much to be like him. They can't wait to grow up so they can go hunting with their dad, and he is very good about teaching them skill that will keep them safe.
