What's up Wednesday

Today I felt like doing a mid-week post, I just got out of a meeting and have some time while I wait for my train. No better time to write then when I am bored!

What we loved about the last week

This past week was a good one! There are many things that we loved about this past week. First off it was my week off! The first couple of days we had the crazy thought to paint a room in my grandparents house. They were getting new carpet at the end of the week and their house hasn't been painted since....the dawn of time. All jokes aside it has been a very long time. Bob and I really wanted to get it done for them and I can proudly say that we did! It looks so good and my grandma just loved it-I am definitely the favorite child now!

Last weekend my sister and her cute little family came into town! I always love when they come visit! Friday afternoon Holly, Paige, and I went shopping at the gateway mall! It was so fun to have a girls day! Saturday we celebrated my grandpas birthday. That sweet old man deserves the world and I am trying to give it to him! Our family would be nothing without him and I am grateful for him everyday.

What we have learned this past week

Bob and I went to the Temple on Tuesday, we have been meaning to go the past couple of weeks but haven't made it a priority. This week I told him we are marking it on the calendar and going! Man am I glad we did! Bob has never been to the Bountiful Temple so that was a neat experience alone. I always love how I feel in the Temple and when I come out of the Temple too! One thing I felt/learned was that we need to make our home feel like a Temple! I am not perfect and the spirit is not always as strong as it should be in our home! I want to make the spirit strong 24-7 like the Temple! This a hard task but I have accepted it and can't wait to get started! I have already read different articles and can't wait to implement them in our home.

Goal for the week

This week I have two very specific goals that I need to work on-like really work on them. I am hoping if I post them I will be more likely to work on them! The first is simple-less screen time and more everything else time. I literally go through these phases where I am glued to my social media. For some reason I am in that phase now! I don't know how to permanently stop that from happening. I would hate to delete my social media (starting with Facebook because I love Instagram wayyyy to much) I hope I can just stop without getting rid of the social media, we will see!

My second goal is to exercise more. Ugh...exercising. Even saying that word makes me tired and I shut down. I always wonder why people smoke and how they just can't see its effects and stop. The same thing applies to me not working out, I see the effects in myself and those around me but somehow I ignore it. I am done! I need to make it a priority and stop being lazy! 

What we have been day dreaming of

With it being summertime and all we the Kane's have been day dreaming about going camping!! Or even just having a fire and roasting mallows! We drove through a couple canyons this past weekend and have some ideas of where to go! We are going in two weeks if anyone wants to join! We are either going to Ogden, Hyrum or Provo! I can't event wait!

Our latest obsession

The weather has been fantastic this past week and all we have wanted to do was be out doors. We live across the street from a really nice and really big city park! We have been over there multiple times this week. We walk Ali mostly but we have found a new hobby-frisbee! We love throwing the frisbee to each other! We are almost obsessed with the frisbee it's crazy!

What else is new

My only brother is done with high school now and has joined the military. I shed a tear or two every time I think about it! I am so proud of him and am going to miss him this summer when he is at boot camp! We are having a party for him on the 27th and he leaves for 5 months on the 28th. I won't see my brother again until Thanksgiving maybe even Chrismas.  It's hard but I know that what he is doing is right and is for the good of our Country. 

That's about it for today! Thanks for keeping up with the Kanes!

1 year photo shoot

We recently got our 1 year pictures back and can I just tell you they were AMAZING! I absolutely loved every single picture and edit that our photographer did. We took these pictures in Tooele at a place called Spiers Farm. It's more of a garden than a farm as you can tell from our pictures. We loved Spiers Farm and all the beautiful things it had to offer and how wonderful our pictures turned out! See for yourself:

Our photographer is actually one of my really good friends from High School, Paige. She is an amazing photographer and will probably be our photographer for life...well as long as she is taking pictures anyway! She took our Christmas photos too and they were so great. She will also be taking our family photos sometime this summer so that will be awesome. If you ever need a photographer I highly recommend her. She is on Facebook at Paige Photography. Look her up.

I still can't believe that we have been married for over a year now! Bob still continues to amaze me everyday and I am so grateful that I get to keep him for eternity! Thanks for keeping up with the Kanes!

House-Sitting

This past week Bob and I watched my Aunt and Uncles house while they went on their 10 year anniversary trip to Cancun.  Bob and I have never watched someones house, so it was a new experience. They live in West Valley so that was an adventure itself, trying to find our way around and then back to the house. The first two days I picked up some extra shifts at work so I wasn't around much. The first day I did have off we were supposed to ride the fun bus to Wendover but Bob hurt his back so bad in the shower that he couldn't even walk really it was terrible-my man is falling apart! So that day we just stayed at home and took advantage of the cable and Netflix. Later that night however he did feel good enough to go to Leatherby's!! I have not been to Leatherby's in years. It was divine!

Bob cut off my head but the most important thing is showing!

Monday we went swimming at Kearns Rec Center which was so much fun. That place is huge with so much to offer! It was a little windy at first which made it chilly but eventually we got used to it. I have been really anxious to go swimming so I was very happy when Bob brought up the idea. He used to go to the Kearns pool when he was little so he was so excited to take me.

Tuesday we had to go to my grandparents house because they went to Wendover for their anniversary and needed dog watchers! So we took advantage of being in the area and went to the local shooting range-I love shooting so much and I also love that it is something Bob and I can do together.  

The remainder of the week I had to work so we didn't do much-we did however make it to the food truck roundup again!! It is slowly becoming part of our weekly routine. This time I had one of the best pieces of French Toast ever! Bob got the same thing he got last time except a hotter dose, last time he got a 7 of hotness this time he got a 10. He is brave! He sure loves that Cupbop food truck.

All in all it was a good week house-sitting, we got attached to their dog and miss him everyday but we should have know that would happen. Bob and I are total dog lovers and we may have more dogs then children...maybe! As always, Thanks for Keeping up with the Kanes!

The Good Life

Good things have been happening for the Kanes. First off Bob is doing much better, thank you for all your prayers and comments about his health. We appreciated you all so much! We are still loving our apartment-we will love it more when it stops raining and the pool opens! They added chairs to the pool area so we are thinking it will be open any day now. Speaking of the rain, the other day we decided to brave the storm and go to cold stone, there was so much water on the roads it was ridiculous. I took some pictures but they don't even do it justice. It was so fun to go driving around with Bob, it's our favorite past time.

Last week we were able to snag some tickets to the Payson Temple open house!!! I was thrilled! I thought for sure that we would never get tickets, but thankfully we did. It was our first open house event together and it was awesome! That Temple is beautiful inside and out! It was such a neat experience and I really am so grateful for the opportunity we had to go!

Some other random things we have done lately: Buffalo Wild Wings Thursday-We really used to go a lot but since we moved up north (and the closest one is 20 minutes in either direction) we have cut back. Last Thursday we were feeling the urge so we went and it was delicious! The Thursday before that we went to a Food Truck Roundup in West Valley-I finally got to experience Waffle Love...it was amazing! It was cool to see all the trucks there too, dreams do come true if you work hard enough to get what you want.

I have finally finished How I met your Mother! It was so dang good! I loved that show so much-every episode either made me laugh or cry! Lilypad and Marshmallow are my relationship goals because they were just so good together.  Now I am re-watching Gilmore Girls until season 5 then 6 and 7 will be my first time ever so I am pretty excited for that. I am also excited for Summer to start! I love the summer and everything that comes with it! That's about it for now. as always Thanks for Keeping up with the Kanes!
