Football 8-26-09

On Wednesday the 26th, we traveled to Cedar City to play Hurricane. The boys were really excited to be able to hit somebody besides their own teammates! They played pretty good for their first game, but ended up getting beat 38-0 to a bigger, stronger and faster team. Next week we go to Park City to play the Miners.
Go Rabbits!Kaden is #57The offensive line

A Few Weeks in the Life of the Stephensens

School started on Wednesday the 19th, summer went by soo fast! Jessica is a junior this year and Kaden is a freshman. Wow, two kids in high school. Lacee is in half-day Kindergarten this year. She actually started school on Thursday. She was so excited to go! This picture was taken on Lacee's first day, not the other two, because they wouldn't let me take a picture of them on their first day! But I made them take a picture with Lacee :) I don't know where my kids got the tall gene from. Jessica is 5'8" and as you can see Kaden is now passing her up. I think they are all going to be taller than me!

The high school has switched to a block schedule this year, where they go to four classes one day and then 4 other classes the next day. So far I think they like it. Jessica and Kaden even have 1 class together.

I sold my minivan and got me a Chevy Malibu. I so love it:) and I'm not a minivan mom anymore!!! YEAH! On August 13th, which was our 21st anniversary, Scott, Lacee and I went to Provo to go out to lunch at Ruby River. On our way back, I got pulled over and he gave me a speeding ticket! How rude! I guess I'm going to have to learn to use the cruise in my new race car!

Jessica got a job (YEAH!) at Hogi Yogi. Cassady also got hired there, but they haven't got to work with each other yet. They were really excited and I'm sure their parents are just as excited for them :)

Kaden is playing football this year for Delta High. He really likes it and is playing on the defensive and offensive line. His first game is Wednesday the 26th in Cedar City against Hurricane. Go Rabbits!!!!

Since I have until 11:00 in the mornings to myself now, I went and got me a membership to the fitness center. My goal is to become healthy and fit and to run a 5K soon!

Not too much else is going on here. Just keeping busy with work and the kids.

Flagler Beach Vacation

We just got back from our vacation to Florida. We had such a wonderful time, but it was way too short. The boys LOVED the beach-they didn't want to do anything but play in the water! We stayed in Flagler Beach; it was heaven! We got to spend time with everyone: Grandpa and Grandma Suzy, Granny, (Great)-Grandma Fisher, Aunt Storm and Uncle Brett, and we got to meet Rhett for the first time (what a cutie!). I was so sad to leave-it seemed like we just got there and it was time to turn around and go home. The weather was perfect and from the house we saw the most amazing sunrises and sunsets. What I wouldn't give to fall asleep to the sound of the waves again! Distance does make the heart grow fonder-being in Texas all these years made me miss those ocean views I never appreciated before. Isn't this a great picture of Grandpa and Grandma with all their grandsons?! Hudson especially enjoyed his cousin Rhett. He was so excited to finally be bigger than someone! He still calls Rhett "that little guy", because you know, 4 is SO much older than 1! I have many, many more pictures-check out our Shutterfly page at: kadlhwhite.shutterfly.com.

Lacee's Blanket

Ever since I've moved home for the summer, I've been making a lot of baby blankets on my spare time. I would always show them to Jodi and Lacee and she would always ask me if it was for her. So finally I made one just for her that will actually cover her whole body! And I'm just so proud of the way it turned out I decided I would post it on here to show everyone!
