Life since the move

Kaden has been quite the little helper during our moving - organizing process. We really appriciate all his hard work! If ever we are moving something heavy, never fear, Kaden boy is right at our feet grabbing hold of our ankles, anxious to help!

Here is out first project at our new house. We put garage protector paint (I am pretty sure that is the official name for it) down on the garage floor. Here I am sprinkling the decorative flakes.

Rob feels like he has his own "showroom." Now we just need some cars like the ones people have on MTV's Cribs.

Kaden loves his jungle toy. He dances to the music, climbes all over it, and crawls through it. It is pretty cute.

Yea for haircuts!

Kaden got another haircut from Sariah. He didn't mind at first, but by the end he definately hated it as I expected he would.

Here is the finished product. We went up American Fork Canyon with my family. We had some good tinfoil dinners and smores.

Kaden's First Smore

Here is Kaden giving a shout out to all his fam.

Kaden loves to swing, especially when he gets pushed high.

New Addition...Bowen Craig Bodily

Here are our cousins Baylee, Bowen, and Brielle. Bowen was born on May 28. We are so excited for Kaden to have a little boy cousin to play with.

His cousin Brielle loves to hold him. By the looks of this picture it seems like Kaden could hold her! He loves to play with his cousins. Here he is jumping on the tramp with Baylee. Two Binkys!!!

Kaden loves his binky. Actually, Rob and I love his binky. It is the only way we can prevent him from eating everything he encounters.

Here is Kaden's first experience touching grass. He was a little unsure about the texture. He kept giving me weird looks and scrunching up his face. After the photoshoot I picked him up and realized I had sat him down in an ant pile. I ripped off all of his clothes and he had ants up both legs. Yea for smart Moms who put their babies in ants!

The Big Move

We made the big leap and bought our first home last Wednesday. It was really exciting and a little stressful as well. It has been quite the busy week moving all of our stuff and trying to get organized. It has been really fun though. We like our new neighborhood so far. There are kids everywhere, so that is nice. We will be in a blogging slump for a few weeks until we are able to get the internet installed, so come visit us in person. We would love to see you all!

Rob's Graduation!

Rob graduated from Utah State last Saturday. I am so proud of him. He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Business. (WARNING! Post may become too sappy for some bloggers! Continue reading at own risk!) Rob made a lot of sacrafices with his education so that I could do the dietetics program and I am sooo grateful that he did that for me. He switched to distance education classes in SLC when I had to complete my dietetic internship in SLC and Ogden. He continued with distance education classes when we moved to Orem for my job. He would work all day and then have to drive to either SLC or Nephi for 3-4 hour classes at night. I know how hard it was for him and am so proud that he was able to finish. Great work Rob!!!


Kaden was so good. He slept through the commencement in the morning and then took another nap during the College of Business ceremony as well. It boggles my mind that when he is napping at home and I sneeze he wakes up. But during the graduation people are clapping, shouting, and whistling and he slept sound as can be.

Here are some pics of the joyous event!

This is Kaden's Utah State outfit. We have had it since I was pregnant in anticipation of this event. It was sooo fun to have him get to wear it.

For the past month I have been telling Rob I didn't have him a graduation present. He was so surprised when I brought out a box with tickets to the Atlanta Braves vs. Colorado Rockies game in Denver. I am so tricky!

P.S. Well when I was up in Logan I decided to try out my design skills. I made a padded headboard with the help of Rob's parents. Thanks guys!

Kaden getting into trouble and quick trip to St. George

Here is Kaden getting into trouble. I thought he was going to cry when I looked over and saw Kaden under his carseat...instead he was laughing.

We headed down for a swim in St. George last week. It was a quick trip, but still fun. Thanks Vest Fam for the fun couple of days! Kaden loved swimming. He and his cousin Boston had a great time swimming while all the other kids were at school. ( Ahhh... to be under 5 yrs old again. Those were the days!)

Hoppy Easter!

We had a fun Easter this year. We went to Grandma and Grandpa Robinett's house to color eggs on Saturday night. We tried to keep Kaden as far away from the dye as possible. We let him hold some eggs after they were colored. He tried to eat them and the blue dye rubbed off onto his mouth. It was cute. On Easter Sunday we went to Grandma and Grandpa Bodily's house for some dinner and an Easter Egg Hunt. We got see see lots of family from St. George, Oregon, and Draper. It was a great weekend.

Kaden got to try some great food this weeked. Here he is trying an orange...

A candy necklace...

And a banana creamy. Here is his cousin who is about 4 months older than him. He liked having someone who was little like him.
