2 Meets and Funeral

The rest of our February went something like this.  Brad had a work trip out to Kohl's.  They installed a video wall.  It's pretty cool.  Brad did a lot of the work to make this happen.  He is super amazing!

While he was there he went to a basketball game.  He works hard and knows how to play hard too.

Aleah and Cade's teachers made Valentine's Day a lot of fun for them.  Cade made hats and Valentine bags.

I got to help in Aleah's class making Valentine juice box people.  One of the moms did face painting.

Aleah and Cade both love their PE class.  They do a lot of fun activities and games.  Cade's teacher, Mrs. Baca, sent me this picture.

Cade got sick right before his second gymnastics meet.  The morning of his meet he seemed to be doing better so we went to his meet.  After he stretched his fever returned.  He was so tired his coach, Chris, didn't even have him do his warm up on each event.  She just let him rest and then she would have him do his routine.  It was sad.  He could barely make his chin-up pull over on the high bar.

Then I got sick too.  So Cade and I spent a few days snuggling and sleeping on the couch together.

Cade got feeling better and it was a warm enough day to ride bikes!  It is always nice to have warm days here and there to break up the cold days.

When Grandma Bushman comes to visit Aleah and Cade like to send down notes and other things to her.  They are so creative!  She had fun receiving all of their cute notes.

My great grandma Lila passed away.  We were able to attend her funeral.  It was good to be with family and hear sweet stories about her and her life.

After the funeral we rushed over to Aleah's first level 3 meet.  She did an amazing job.  I loved her routines and it is always fun to see the congratulations that she gets from her coaches.  She had a fun time.  She really enjoys doing gymnastics!

A birthday for Cade and the new Provo Town Center Temple

For some reason I can't find the pictures from Cade's birthday.  I'm sad about this, but hope to be able to find them.  Cade turned 6 this year.  He decided on a lego birthday party.  He loves legos.  He loves to build things and create things.  His plan was that by having a lego party hopefully all of his friends would give him legos.  His plan worked!  Every present he opened was legos and bonus, they were all different!  He couldn't have been happier!  Every time he opened another box of legos he would say, "Yes! Thank you! More legos!"

At his party we played lots of lego games.  We had a contest to see who could build the tallest tower with legos.  We had lego Rice Krispie treats.  It was so much fun!  Cade helped with the decorating for his party.  He made a lego guy on the wall.  

Cade is such an amazing boy!  He brings so much joy and laughter to our family.  We have loved spending the last 6 years with him.  We are very thankful that he is part of our family.

A couple of days after Cade's birthday we went with Mark and Crystal and their kids to the open house for the Provo Town Center Temple.  It was so much fun to see the way the tabernacle was preserved and remodeled into a beautiful temple.  Aleah and Cade loved being inside the temple!

As we were leaving we were asked if we could take a few minutes to help get the booties ready for future use.  We  took them out of a box, unrolled them and put them in a cart.  It was pretty easy and a fun little service project.

Since Cade turned 6 he got to compete in his first sanctioned Level 4 gymnastics meet.  It was in St. George at Barefoot Gymnastics.  He had to miss the first half of the competition season since he wasn't old enough.  He was so ready for this meet.  He was completely excited!  He did an amazing job and was so thrilled that his team won first place.  He got to bring the trophy home!

After his meet we had a birthday party for him with all of our St. George Godfrey family.  It was fabulous!
