HELLO?!?

So I haven't posted for almost a month!!! That is so not like me...we have been busy around the McCaul house.
My littlest brother graduated! Yes I am old now:(
We finally finished (well almost) our backyard! And it looks so good:) pictures to come soon
I have ran into old friends and wish I had pictures:(
We went south for the long weekend:)
I planted my front yard!
um I guess we haven't done too much...but it feels like we have
Oh wait I had a wonderful mother's day:)

I really need to get my pictures uploaded so I can do an intresting post with pictures and all. Jason really worked hard on our backyard and it was so worth it! Thanks to many neighbors and Jason's brothers for helping so much.

We soon find out what sex our little one is!!! In your comment vote what you think I am having :) I think it is a boy but I am usually not right!

NeWs:)

Well I didn't know how many would notice the change of my header so I will post about it. It might still be early, but we are adding to our family! Thats right another cute little McCaul will be entering the world around November 10th! We are so excited and Reddek is so sure it is a little brother but we will see...I am not too far along but too excited to keep it in any longer:) Reddek will be 3 about a week before our other little one is born...so if you notice I am getting fatter I am!!!

eAsTeR wEeKeNd!!!

We had a fun Easter weekend...
Started with coloring eggs at Grandma and Grandpa Lud's house wtih one of Red's favorite cousins Jade!
Then Grandpa hid all the eggs for them to find! They loved that part. Then Jade and Red needed to hide the eggs, but they ended up putting them all in one spot and when we went in to find them they showed us where to look:) They were so much fun...I love this age!

Next on Saturday we hung out with his other cousins...started at the park for the egg hunt (actually race!)
Kids waiting!
Then started the activities at our house decorating cookies(mostly eating cookies:)Then we went to Parris and Shannon's to brake the pinata! The kids loved it.

We ended at Joe and Andria's for an egg hunt! I didn't have my camera all day so I stole Andria's and there weren't any pictures of the egg hunt...but you should have seen how many eggs they had!!! Each kid had a bucket full easy...and they all had yummy treats even bubbles and balls. Reddek loved the whole day thanks so much for helping us make fun memories!

Sunday we went to Jason's moms for a BBQ...it was so yummy and a nice day so we spent it playing ball racing and eating lots of yummy food.

I love easter time remembering the savior. Reddek learned a lot this easter he came home from church and told me Jesus died and went in a cave and then came back. It is so fun to have little ones and watch them learn and grow.

** Fun Trip To St. George**

Conference weekend us and Joe and Andria's fam decided to go to St. George!!! Actually the guys decided and kind of sprung it on us. We were so excited and LOVE when they suprise us:) It was so nice to get to warm weather and be able to play outside!
We rented a condo so we put all the kids to bed and got to hang out for a while. The guys cooked us dinner and breakfast...it was really yummy:)
We went swimming! It was a little chilly, but the pool was heated so it was still fun.


Played at the park. It was really warm:) We all played catch swang and of course went down slides.

We went hiking at the Red Cliffs. Reddek loved this part of the St. George trip.
Reddek likehiking with Daddy while mom went off with Syd and Ken to hike as high as we could go! It was fun I love those two girls well I actually love all four of them!
We had a huge living room so we were able to watch conference and feel the spirit while we were there too. This trip is just what I needed! Thanks Jason!!! We all wished we could have stayed there another week, unfortunately we couldn't. We love doing stuff with these guys and glad we are able to do so much together...I always hoped my kids would be close to their cousins because I was always close to mine and luckily so far so good! Knowing all of us we will stay really close through out the years.

I might be back : )

Us McCaul's have been having lots of fun and have lots of stuff to post about! But I am a slacker what can I say! Actually I have been working A LOT!!! I have been sick and very very tired so I am going to save my pictures and have some posts up in a bit! For now I need to finish cleaning my bathrooms...thanks Min for noticing that I have been away!

Lately Jason has been making minor changes to our house....changing our sink, our lights and of course working on the yard. Well Reddek is so funny! Every time he sees the new faucet on our kitchen sink he gets all excited and says “MOM look what daddy made" same with the lights and outside he says he made the dirt. And now with the hot tube there Reddek thinks his daddy made it! I try to explain that daddy doesn't make everything that changes around here...but he insists that his Daddy made it! I hung some more decorations and Reddek of course notices them (I am telling you have a kid they make you notice EVERYTHING) he says mom look daddy made them. I just a laughed and said yep your daddy is awesome :) I am so thankful for Jason he really does work hard for us and keeps up with all my changes I need him to make. I know I need to just be happy and stop worrying about all the things I want done, but it is hard as most of you know. One new rule is I can't say NEED anymore. When I want something I tend to say "I need..." Jason informed me it will lower my stress if I stop saying need so much. Most of what i say I need is a want so I am working on that!

I can't wait for warm weather so we can do some of the following!
I just LOVE the spring and summer! Oh and the great people we get to hang with and do all this fun stuff with:)

Exciting things happening at the McCaul's

Ok not really! But hey I got you to read this post. J/k well it is getting warm so we have to start finishing our back yard. Jason is all sorts of excited but I just WANT IT DONE!!! He says then you just get use to it and it isn't cool anymore, so he doesn't mind the time it takes. We kind of have different ideas on what to do so it will be interesting to see how it turns out. Jason is a perfectionist so it should turn out great! (Even if it takes all spring and summer)

Another exciting thing just to help our back yard...our neighbor is GIVING US A HOT TUB :) (Ok trading) The house we bought has the hook up, which alone costs a lot of money. So since we moved in Jason keeps bringing up a hot tub. I am so not ever going to spend thousands of dollars on a hot tub. We won't use it enough and so many other things to buy first! But our great neighbor worked at bullfrog so he got us one...it is about 5 years old, but who cares!!! We have an old black car that just takes up space at our house and his son needs a car so he asked Jason if we could swap...the car for a hot tub! HOORAY :) So I am posting as they are under my deck hooking it up for me. THANKS! I am excited and not even half as excited and Jason.
