Spring has Sprung!

Spring is finally here, there is no snow on the ground, the sun is out (for now) and the semester is officially over as of 9:41 this moring when i left my last final. Kaden and I are both thrilled to have lived through this past semester, thinking back on it i believe we will both try to shun most of it from out memories as soon as we move out of Aunt Dianes. We both feel we have been blessed tremendously to have been able to live in her trailor for the past four months, but it was not the best experience. We are so ready to have our stuff back, to sleep in our own bed, to eat off our dishes, and see our own pictures hanging on the walls. Next week we will be moving into a little two bedroom twin home right next door to one of the greatest friends ive met up here, ha Lacey and Devin will probably get sick of us and be really glad that we only signed a summer contract, but we are so grateful that they are letting us be their neighbors and live in the other side of their house. While we are living with their for the summer we have big plans on finding our own home. We have actually been looking for the past couple months and really exstensively for the past couple weeks. If anyone is interested in moving to Cedar, now is the time and we will set you up with our amazing realitor who has found us a way to approved on our own and has helped us to know what we should be looking for. We are crossing our fingures that the tax incentive will be extended but we decided not to rush just so we could get it. Who knows, there are 3 days left, maybe we our very humbled down dream home will come on the market today. So anyways, enough about our future home and moving out of the trailor. Kaden and I have about 1 month of spring to enjoy before im back in school and Summer starts. We are hoping to accomplish as much as we can with out missing work this summer, if anyone has figured out how to do this, please let me know.  In may Kaden is going to Moab for 4 days, I am shooting prom pictures in Vegas, and we hope to go to the beach with Lacey and Devin. Then June just gets busier. Vance gets home and we are going to go on a 5 day trip to pick him up, then i have a 3 day photography workshop in Bountiful and may be going to San Francisco on a girls trip for my sisters graduation. July we have fish lake, lake powell, and a trip so Southern California for a friends wedding. Well August has no plans yet, maybe thats when we will fit working in ;) As busy as this time of year will be for us, i am so excited for it.

P.S. I took this picture this morning, the flowers in the yard are BEAUTIFUL!

Easter Weekend

Easter weekend was very eventful for Kaden and I. We drove down to the Valley Wednesday after class so that Thursday we could try and trade the King Ranch in. After a very stressful and hectic day at a Hyundai dealership in Henderson we decided we weren't going to trade in the truck after all and that we would do a nice little trade with Penn and Nancy. Yes we are now King Ranch free, Woo Hoo! (Penn and Nancy are as well, ask them about their amazing new car ) Then, Thursday night i went out with Whitney, Sarany, and Lauren for Whits 21st Birthday! It was a lot of fun, we ate sushi and road around in the Jeep ha. Then Easter weekend really began Friday when Kaden headed back to work and My Uncle and his family came out to the Valley. My Dad decided we needed to start our Friday off right with a nice off roading trip. It was so much fun! We took the boys (my cousins) in the Rzr, Rhino and Jeep out to Red Rock and hiked to Meadow that Sarah knew about it. We also hauled Tiffany out there with us and she did great. It was a beautiful day and everything was green from all of the rain the Valley has been blessed with this year. Then Saturday was a lot more low key, Sarah and I took the the boys and Hannah and Katie to see Alice and Wonderland, not my favorite movie by the way. Then Saturday night Kaden came back down for the family dinner and we played Apples to Apples with everyone. Sunday we spent the morning watching the boys have a huge Easter egg hunt and then we went out with the Leavitt family to see some petrogliphs Penn had found. The hike we went on was great and I got to take a ton of pictures which was really fun for me. I loved carrying Alayna around and I think Kaden enjoyed having Grace on his shoulders the entire day. We love actually feeling like we are an aunt and uncle. Also i got a lot of neat picture of Ron (Kaden's Grandpa) if anyone from the Leavitt family would like some. I am not sure how many pictures there are of him but i do know he is a huge example to all of his grandchildren. I thought they would be neat to have.

you know you live in a trailor park...

When your neighbors hang a disco ball in their tree. Classy, no?
