My hard working Boy's!

I love this picture. Kaden is such a smart little boy, sometimes to smart for his own good! He picks up on things so quickly, and understands so much it really amazes me. Thankfully, he has a good role model to look up to. Mark is such a good dad, he is always teaching Kaden new things. I am grateful that Mark grew up with an amazing Father that taught him the importance of focusing and doing your best while working hard, now Mark can pass those skills to our children. I can only hope and pray that when Kaden grows up he will have the same work ethic.

As for now, I have the privilege to see Mark all day, and Kaden gets to help him work... sometimes. In this picture Mark is building tables for his Mom's Nation wide traveling sculpture exhibit. Very cool!! I don't know much about what is going on, and I don't want to start any roomers, so as soon as I get more information I will let you all know. As for now, I can just say Angela is truly an amazing artist! Her depictions of Christ touch my heart, and spirit. Every time I see her work, it helps me remember why I Love my Savior. If you haven't seen any of her work you can look at her web sight http://www.ajsculptures.com/ . There are some other beautiful sculptures that she has completed, they are not shown on the web sight, but will be in the exhibit. Take a look anyways, they are awesome!

And of course, you know what they say, WORK HARD, PLAY HARD!! We had a bonfire this past weekend to burn Matt & Candee and our Christmas tree's. Along with some other wood and junk that has been sitting in our dump trailer waiting for the burn. The kids loved it, and Kaden has officially had his first late night out in the desert.

And don't worry, the only reason I knew all that about Solana is because I called her on her anniversary and she told me!

Hey it's Tawni. I hope you don't mind me checking your blog out! You little Kaden is a stud! So cute! We should let him and Broc be little buddies and run around a park or something sometime. I love your MIL's sculptures! I saw them at the visitors center a while back and was so amazed! I wondered who she was because I have a friend whose mom's name is Angela Johnson too. Anyhow, your family is amazing!

Glad the burning of the trees is still going! How fun for you to have Mark around, and that he spens so much time with Kaden!

I love those "man"ly moments when the little boy is trying to be a big boy like his dad.
