Fun with Hayden in Castle Dale

Kaycee was so excited to spend the weekend at Grandma and Grandpa Bott's house. Not only was she going to be in Castle Dale but Hayden was going to be there. The first thing they did was run to their special boxes full of goodies grandma has for them and ran outside to play. They loved the pool and having water fights. It is fun to see them together. They are two days apart and each time we see them they change places in the height race. One month Kaycee is taller and the next Hayden catches up. He actually beat her this time, he is a 1/2 inch taller than Kaycee. However, he will always have her beat in the shoe department thank goodness. Kaycee is in a 10.5 and Hayden is in a 1 already.

Fishin' in the Rain

Isaac has been on call all week and weekend so we decided to stay close to home and go fishing at Spanish Fork Reservoir and it RAINED! It was a little windy while we had our picnic with Caleb and Char and sprinkled while we got set up and started fishing but then it came down hard. Caleb caught the first one and let Kaycee rill it in, and as they were getting it to shore Isaac was rilling in one so Kaycee ran over to help. Kayden and I sat and fished with the other pole and as we were getting ready to leave because we were getting drenched we had one playing. I handed it off to Isaac and low and behold there was a fish hooked. Over all it was fun, we were all drenched but we caught fish and had a good time. This is Kaycee with hers and Kayden's fish.

Happy Birthday Kaycee Bug!

My little girl is 4 today. It is crazy how four years has flown by so quickly.

Our little princess, sweet baby girl, and delight,
When you entered this world you put up a fight!
Our tiny sweet little baby and our very first.
You were born very sick and we feared for the worst.
From the very beginning you were strong and overcame;
Now look at our big helper, with the memorable name.
Through the years you have brightened each of our days,
Through laughter and kindness, in many different ways.
You are a bright little girl whom we adore.
Our sweet little Kaycee Bug is now turning four.

Kaycee we love every day with you and are so happy that you are ours to have and to hold. You are such a bright little girl, a great helper and a wonderful big sister. You are also a little smarty pants who makes us laugh every day. We love you and hope that you have had a wonderful birthday. Happy birthday sweet baby girl.

Chuck E. Cheese surprise party

A while ago my mom was driving with us from Washington to Utah, it was late as we drove into Utah, and all of the sudden Kaycee began screaming something that we couldn't understand. As we listened and had her repeat it we tried very hard to understand what she was saying, "Chunky Jesus!" We couldn't figure out what in the world she was trying say. My mom looked over and saw a sign for Chuck E. Cheese. She was saying she wanted to go to "Chuck E. Cheese's." So, after a very long time of her asking to go to "Chunky Jesus" we threw her a surprise party at the one in Orem.

We told her we were going to her cousin Hayden's house, then as we pulled into the parking lot we asked her if she wanted to go shopping. She said, "no, we need to go to my party at Hayden's house." Isaac then asked if she wanted to go into this store and pointed to the sign. She looked up in annoyance, her eyes got big and she shyly smiled and said very loud, "yeah, yeah!" She was so excited and had a wonderful night. Between Kaycee and Isaac (mostly Isaac) they won enough tickets (1200) to win a Chuck E. Cheese basketball. It was the highlight of the evening. She was so happy to share her special night with all of her cousins, aunts and uncles. (Cousins: Alexis, Domenic, Skyler, Hayden, and Brayden. Aunts and Uncles: Brandon, Amy and Brandon, Marie and Dan Seth, and Sara and Nana).
