SPRING Break FEVER

On our Spring Break vacation, we did a lot of things....
We drove up to Utah,
Toured the Draper Temple,



Spent time with family,



Went to Ryan's cabin,



Played in the snow,







Laughed 'til we cried, (inside joke)


Played lots of games,


Swam in the pool,


Fixed a broken window,


Went to the Grand Canyon,






Visited Sedona,



Lots of hours in the car!!

PinEWOod DerBY

Cameron's Second Pinewood Derby.

He decided to make a Humvee. After Mark cut out the shape, Cameron sanded it down and painted it himself. It turned out great. It won several of the races it was in. What a fun night it was!!!

Love BUG

David came home from Pre School the other day dressed as my Valentine. They had a Valentines party and made lots of fun stuff.

We had a great Valentines day, my kids woke up to a chocolate heart out of kisses, a chocolate bar (who likes chocolate), and their own pint of Ice cream just for them. We made a nice Breakfast, and enjoyed the morning as a family. We had a special delievery of some yummy homemade sugar cookies, they had our name on each one of them, so good. Later that night, Mark and I went out with Eric and Brenda. We went to dinner (Thanks Eric for getting the reservations), went to a movie, and then played a round of card games. What a great day it was for us all. I love to celebrate Valentines day, because it reminds me of how much I'm LOVED and LOVE all in my life!!

Cameron's 9

For Cameron's Birthday we celebrated it up in Utah with his cousins there. We went to BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS. He had a great time with his cousins he usually doesn't get to celebrate with.



Then on his actual Birthday, we had his cousins that live by us over for cake. He is so lucky to have lots of cousins his age on both sides.



Cameron is so loved by everyone that knows him. He is my child that is caring, sensitive, innocent no matter what, loving, doesn't forget about anything, makes sure everything is fair. He is our middle child, and boy you can tell. He needs lots of Love and attention, which we are happy to give him. I'm so proud and happy to be his MOM, and can't believe he is already 9, where does the time go? We all LOVe you Cameron!!! He is now a BEAR in scouts.

CHRISTMAS DAY '08

Christmas

This year for Christmas, we decided to go up to Utah to have Christmas with my family. Since we have had kids of our own, we never have gone to our family's house for Christmas morning to open gifts. We decided to make that venture and go up north in the cold, wet, snow, and enjoy Christmas with my parents and siblings. We had a great time, and are happy we went. We actually had a WHITE Christmas, it snowed all day Christmas, it was so nice. Behind my parents house is a mountain, so we had even more snow then the valley had. We were literally snowed in until my Brother-in-Laws came and shoveled us out. I was glad that my kids got to have a WHITE Christmas, and be with all of their cousins (on my side) this Christmas. It's so nice to celebrate the Birth of our Savior every year, and realize what's important in life. I hope everyone had a great and fabulous Christmas like we did!!

Favorite gifts that our kids got this year,
Marlise, Guitar Hero World Tour, Chi straightener
Cameron, Lazer Tag (Birthday gift also), Video Camera, Watch
David, Star Wars toys and games, Camera,
