Justine Bieber???????...........Happy Birthday KADEN!!!!

May 27th was Kaden's 17 birthday!!  His friend Richard texted me the night before asking if they could bring Kaden's birthday present out after he went to bed.  I told them only if it wasn't alive.  He said they had a life size Justin Bieber cut out.  They all call Kaden "Biebs" because they think they look so much alike.  Kaden doesn't really think this is all that funny.  I told them sure that I would leave the door unlocked and let them know when Kaden went to bed.  I did that and this is what we woke up to at the bottom of the stairs. 

 Here I am trying to get Kaden out of bed so he could see his present.  He didn't want to cooperate and just wanted to stay in bed.

 After he saw his gift from his friends he still didn't think it was very funny.  I begged and begged for him to let me take his picture next to his look a like.  He was no way going to stand there.  I finally bribed him and his bribe of choice was breakfast.  Hashbrowns, bacon, eggs, toast, orange juice the works.  Here they are he wouldn't let me fix his hair because when his hair gets the swoop going which it does when he fixes it they look a lot alike. 

 Here is my bribe being paid and Kaden enjoying his breakfast

Oh by the way on Kaden's birthday we filled our first "L".  It is going quick.  

We celebrated Kaden's birthday all weekend it seemed.  Here we are Saturday celebrating at Jakers.  Our Stake President was at the table next to us so he snapped this picture of us.

 Then on sunday we went to Dave's moms house after going to the cemetary and celebrated with the Robisons.  We took take'n'bake pizzas and Kaden finally got his ice cream cake.  Here he is with his cousin Rhett and Rhett's girlfriend Ashley.

Commencement Dance

Kaden's first Commencement Dance.  Last year he wasn't 16 so he wasn't able to go.  This year he went and with a very pretty girl I might add.  He went with Reigan Decker.  This was her last Commencement Dance because she graduates this year.  They had a lot of fun.  They went razor riding at the sand dunes for their day date.  They took sandwiches and had a great time.  They then went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner and then to the dance.  Kaden had a top hat that went with his tux.  One of the moms from his group got them for them and he didn't have it when he picked Reigan up.  Brenan took Reigan to at least 2 dances in high school and now Kaden one.  My boys must think she's pretty great.

The pictures of their group with their top hats.  Kaden loved his top hat.  He wore the whole thing to church the next day and you couldn't wipe the smile off his face.  Him and Brenan love to dress up in tuxes.  They are so not like their dad in that way.  Kaden is the one in the green vest.

Conference Weekend

I absolutely love general conference.  We rented a cabin for the weekend and enjoyed every minute of it.  Dave and Kaden took snowmachines up.  Rachel, Kendall, Kandice and I followed late Friday night.  Matt had went to his mission reunion so he came up Saturday morning.  Alli came up Sunday night.  We had a great time.  Kendall did mexican again and Ray Pocock and his family came along with Leif and Cindy.  I loved conference and had my favorite talks of course.  I can't wait to read them all again in the Ensign.  I did love President Uchtdorf and Elder Scott's.  The guys never did go snowmachining we all just kind of hung out and were lazy for the whole weekend.  We really missed Brenan because he loves going to a cabin.

It's a good thing we have technology we might get bored or something

This might have been during conference or shortly.  They are really paying attention.  I think it was an "angry birds" competition
