Cydnie and Shane's Wedding...

My little sister Cydnie got married on the 6th of November to Shane Cridlebaugh. I am so proud, happy, and excited for her. She has always been such a sweet good girl and I am so happy she made good choices that led her to a great guy and a temple marriage! I have to say it was a different experience for me than when my other siblings have gotten married. First of all she is my first younger sibling which was wierd for me I have always felt I needed to look out for her and help her make all the right choices, I was always worrying about her and it was like I suddenly I realized that she didn't need me and pobably never really did :) Not to brag about my sister but she really is one of the most amazing people I know and i couldn't be more happy for her. These are just a few random shots we managed to get of the wedding in all the craziness, I will post more when the professional ones are available.

Cash's Birthday Party in Washington!

Cash had a fun party up in Washington with all his Dickson cousins and his good Friend Elliot Johnson. We had Elmo themed everything cake, ice cream, gifts, and craziness! :)

Halloween Night !! .

We had a fun Halloween this year although we missed Jared very much ( he is traveling for work right now.) In the afternoon I took Cash with his cousins Sam, Jesse, and Casey to the ward Halloween party where he dressed up as Woody:) We then went home and watched scary movies with Grandpa and Grandma. The best part came when Cash's cousins came home with the goods and were so nice and shared some of their spoils with him:)

Cash turns 1 !

Yesterday my baby boy turned one and I can hardly believe it. We had a small celebration with only a few guests my sister-in-law Andreea and our friends Matt, Aubrie and their little boy Garret. Cash is quite the spoiled birthday boy because not only did we celebrate last night but we are going this weekend to Woodruff to celebrate with Grandpa and Grandma Stuart, then I will be up in Washington next week and we will have a party with Grandma and Grandpa Dickson and all the Dickson cousins. So here is the first of many birthday pictures:)

Yummy Popsicles...

This summer Cash's favorite treat has been Popsicles. It's so funny because he is so intense about it the moment he gets the stick in his hand there is no getting it away from him; he has an iron grip. As a mom I thought this video was really cute hopefully you enjoy it too :)

I know it has been awhile since I posted anything, but for those of you who don't know, Jared travels for work a lot throughout this season. This August He was gone from the eighteenth to the 6th of September. While he is gone I usually go up to Washington and spend the time with my family and i don't really get a chance to blog. So I will try to catch up on the important things that have happened. First Off my sister-in law Andreea returned from her mission in Brazil on the nineteenth of August. She is such a good example to us all, and it is so good to have her back especially because she is close to us in Rexburg going to school :). These are some pictures from the couple of days I spent with them.

Fourth of July Weekend

We had great fourth of July this year. We were lucky enough to be able to drive up to Washington and enjoy the celebrations with the Dickson family. I say lucky and for those of you who know Jared will understand why. Jared being the super hard worker he is rarely takes work off, but he got Friday the third off and then being super sweet let us leave right after a long day at work on Thursday to begin our twelve hour drive. That night we made it to Missuola Montana and stayed the night. We left early that morning and made it to meet my parents at Alder Lake for a day of fun. My dad borrowed my grandpa's boat and we had a day of Swimming, boating, and good food of course :)
On the fourth we realxed at the house, visited, let the kids play in th kiddie pool and then that evening we went to my Grandma and Grandpa Dicksons house for the traditional family picnic and fireworks. I was so happy to be there it has been 5 years since i've been and didn't realize how much I missed it. The only thing I wish I could have done that i didn't was take a ride in my grandpa's antique red truck with grandkids around the neighborhood as all the kids shout happy fourth a July, but i didn't think it was a good idea for Cash to be in the back of the truck :) We ended the night with watching a big firework show on the Puget Sound. And then headed home sunday morning.
