Since I have been so slow at updating our blog, I thought that I should have a few post. I wonder if you can guess what we were for Halloween. Hope you had a great Halloween. I also want to congratulate Chris and Sarah on the birth of their new baby boy, CONGRATULATIONS!!

This is Cathan's new toy. His Great Aunt Andrea gave this to us. He loves it. He plays with it all day.

Family Photo's

We had some family photo's taken back in september. So I should change the date on this entry back to september but I don't know how to do that.

We had a lot of fun taking the photos and if you see any that you like and want some I can send them to you, just let me know.

I guess it is time for some words. I know that some of you have already looked at the pictures. Sorry. It has taken me a while to get some time to sit down and write this. Anyway, it’s been a long time since we updated so there is a lot to talk about. Let’s start with the 4th of July. We had a great time with the Quilters and the Kaysville Parade.

Ryan got a Tie. The missionary mall was driving down the parade route throwing stuff out. That was cool. Then we had a good time at the huge family bar-b-que. Lots of the Haacke's were there. Later that night, we got ready for the fireworks. You can't believe how many tries it took to get that photo.

It was now Ryan's Birthday and we decided to spend his birthday at the sunset city days. It was lots of fun. They had a parade in the morning and activities at the park by our house. We went to play bingo and won the big grand prize. We got camp chairs camp stove, 20 gift card to Harmon’s, roasting sticks, and sleeping bags. We used that stuff a few days ago to go camping but that is another story for another post.

I guess the picture that I had got deleted. I’ll have to get it back.

We also had to take Cathan to the hospital to have his growth in his mouth removed. This picture was taken while Cathan was starving; he hadn’t eaten anything since the night before. He was such a trooper and did such a good job at the hospital. He didn’t really have any problems after the surgery. We are so proud of him.

As a family we have all decided that we were going to do things that are fun and free. One of the things that we saw on our bulletin board at our church was that there were free concerts at a park in Salt Lake. This concert was lots of fun. Cathan loved it. He was dancing and playing with us.
Also since the last time we were on, we went to the Farmington pool with the quilter’s ward. Cathan loves getting in the pool and I can say that his parents like it to. We had lots of fun at the pool. Cathan likes to splash and spin around in circle. Kami had lots of fun playing with him. That was his first experience in a shower. Ryan took him in to change him and get the chlorine off of him. He likes the shower. I didn’t think that he would.
Unfortunately for this last activity we did not take Cathan. We are just worried parents and don’t want to take him on the boat. We went out for a day of wakeboarding. The first time this year. We took Matt Hall and one of his friends with us.
If you had fun reading this blog, good for you. We will be better at writing more frequently. Have fun for now.

Trip to Disney land

So it’s about time we update our blog and Kami has given the responsibility to me this time. Sorry it has been a while and I know that some of you check often. I’ll try to keep up on it. We recently went to Disneyland and had a great time with my family. We drove the there stopping in Vegas for the night. We then continued the drive for Disneyland. The first day there we went back into Toon Town to get some pictures. We managed to find some of the character while we were there.













I was so excited to meet goofy. He looks and acts just like me :-)

We spent our days at Disney land and our nights at my mom’s condo. They had a nice swimming pool and hot tubs on the roof. We saw fire works on Friday night before we came home. We wanted to watch them from the roof but as soon as Cathan’s foot touched the water he decided to taint it with his special "medicine". We had to take him down to the room and clean him up. We didn’t tell anyone what he did in the hot tub 'the chlorine will take care of it'. We had so much fun riding all the rides and taking Cathan on the rides. I was surprised at how many rides he could go on.


We took him on a Bugs Life. I had forgotten how scary that show is. Well in the show there is a part where it shoots you with water. You could probably imagine Cathan reaction. He screamed and screamed and screamed until he ran out of air in his lungs and then kept screaming. I was laughing, Kami was kind to him and took him out of his seat and comforted him. I guess that really does make me a dad. We just laugh at our kids when stuff like that happens. We have so many stories of things that happened that I will keep updating the blog with other stories. For now, enjoy the pictures we have.

My whole family except the one on the mission (Brandon)

We ate at RainForest Cafe. It was really good. I liked it a lot. Kami did to I guess.

We thought that Cathan looked a lot like pluto so we put him in his bed.

Kami is such an escape artist.

We had a fun time on Finding Nemo. It wasn't as cool as it looked but was still really fun.

This concluded our days at Disney Land. It was so sad.

We then went to Wendover and gamled like crazy kids in a candy shop.

Really though we don't like gambling. We just had to try it once.

Update

A few weeks ago we were invited to my brothers house for dinner. Chad actually made dinner (ok Margie made it too but according to Margie it wouldn't have been the same without Chad's input)! They also introduced us to Rook which we love playing! Ryan knows that Cathan's eyesight isn't far so he walked around their home putting him close to objects, even Uncle Chad!

We also went to the midnight DVD release of Twilight. We waited a half hour and they ran out of dvd's so we booked it out of there (hence the "i'm outta here" look on my face). Sweet Ryan then went to Smiths Grocery and asked if they were selling it but they told him that they wouldn't be putting it on sale for a few hours so Ryan put his charm on and talked the lady into giving him one early! YAY! I watched it everyday for a few days!

This is how Cathan and I sleep every morning!
