4th folder, 4th picture!

So I was tagged by my sister Megan to post my fourth picture in my fourth folder on my computer. It was kind of fun to see what picture came up. This was a few years ago when Kaycee was first learning to do a back-handspring. I tag Shannalee and Mom!!

DISNEYLAND!!

2009-03-15T20:05:00.000-07:00

We got back from Disneyland a few weeks ago and have been running non stop so I'm a little slow at posting but I guess it's better late then never.

I have to say that I hate my camera though...For some reason whenever I try to zoom in the pictures turn out blurry!

Anyway, our kids had so much fun! We did Disneyland, California adventure and then spent a day at the Beach with my cousin Stacie and her two kids. I think my kids loved that as much as Disneyland. The weather was in the 70's so it was really nice!

Kaycee's highlights: Churros!!, Tower of Terror (her favorite ride), Screamin roller coaster and Space Mountain. She also really enjoyed the Character Breakfast. It was quite expensive but worth it just for the kids sake. She also loved the Beach and getting burried in the sand.

Cameron's highlights: Jedi Training, Toy Story ride, Buzz Lightyear ride, of course he didn't mind the churros either!! Cameron didn't love the characters so much and a few of the rides. Cameron is a little different than Kaycee..He's not so much a thrill seeker!

Mom and Dad's highlights: seeing our kids get so excited!!

Kaycee and Cam with Goofy at Goofy's Kitchen. (notice Cam kept his distance a little!)

Waiting for the Star Wars ride!

We don't get this very often so we have to take a picture!!

Cam was chosen to take part in the Jedi training and fight Darth Vader on stage!! He was so excited!

We can't forget forget the souvenirs. Of all things this is what they chose!! Not surprising!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAM!!

Our handsome little devil turned 4 a few weeks ago. I can't believe he is already four. He is such a character and has a mind of his own..everyone in my family would agree. He loves to give me lots of kisses and tells me daily how pretty my hair looks even when it is soaking wet. Bryce thinks he has a weird obsession with me but I think he's just a momma's boy.

For his birthday, Bryce, Kaycee, Cam and I went to Chucky Cheese during the day along with the rest of Utah. (at least it felt like that.) Here's a couple of pics from that.

Later that evening we had family over for cake and ice cream and of course presents!

Cam had a little accident a couple days before his birthday. Bryce was carrying him out to the car at my moms and slipped on the ice. Bryce fell flat on his back and Cam came crashing down on his face. That would explain the scabs.

Oh and Bryce is ok! just a little sore the next day but that was all.

Cam in his clone trooper outfit riding his new bike!

Cameron wanted a star wars cake but I called a few places and was told that there was a copywrite on that so they couldn't do it. So I gave up and we got Sponge Bob instead.

A couple ago my little neice Hadlee had a sleepover and the three of them decided to make a rock band!

Cam on drums!

Kaycee on guitar and Hadlee was lead singer! The did their own wardrobe and makeup.

Beautiful!!

Disneyland here we come!!! We are leaving in two weeks for Disneyland. It's been so long since I have been there...If anyone has any tips let me know!! Next post will be Disneyland pics!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

2009-01-04T18:37:00.001-08:00

Wow! I can't believe that 2008 is over! Here we begin 2009 and one of the things that I would like to do this year is update my blog more. (We'll see if it actually happens) We got a new computer armoire and have moved our computer upstairs so I'm sure I'll use it more!

Anyway, December was such a busy month so I put one long post and lots of pictures of some of the highlights. Enjoy!!

Happy B-Day Kaycee!!!

Our little girl turned 7 years old this month. I can't believe how time flies. She is such a smart girl and is doing so well in school. She even likes to read now and is doing so well with it.

This year for her birthday party, she decided to have it at Dinosaur park in Ogden. We were a little worried wondering if the weather was going to cooperate but it ended up being such a nice day and I think the temperature was in the high 40's.
Kaycee and her friends at her B-day party!

Kaycee and her friend Kelsey being goofy!!

For her B-day present, her grandma Tammy took her to do the I-Fly for the second time. She was a little more scared this time but loved it. The guy even took her up high with him and they flew together but of course I wasn't ready with my camera. I was able to get some pics!!

Kaycee getting ready to fly!

After flying we took Kaycee to out to eat!

Of course they sang to her!

Christmas Fun!!

This year we went and rode the Polar Express in Heber. The kids had so much fun although it was before there was any snow so it was a little weird looking at the north pole in sage brush but the kids didn't care.

Santa was at the Dinosaur park when we went for Kaycee's B-day. Each kid got to sit on his lap. That is one thing about having December B-day's. It seems like we can incorporate Santa somehow!

Kaycee and Santa!

Cam and Santa!

This is the face I get about 90% of the time I try to take a picture of Cameron.

Kaycee and Cam playing with some of their new toys!

I really slacked this year taking pictures of them opening their presents. I hope we got some video but I'm not sure we took that either.. Both got what they were asking for, Kaycee got her easy bake oven and cupcake maker..Cameron got a lot of star wars stuff and the best present of all was the Nerf dart tag game that Santa brought them! I don't know what Santa was thinking but I'm so tired of picking up darts I could scream!

Christmas Day in some new Christmas clothes!

Cam (handsome as usual) in his new Christmas Clothes.

Everyone has always said how much he looks like Bryce and I'm starting to see it as he is getting older.

Where did the time go????

2008-12-01T20:44:00.001-08:00

So I've been slacking a little..we'll alot actually, so I figured I'd sum up the last couple of months into one post....

Remember this...... Can you believe this was almost two months ago? It's hard to imagine that we had that much snow considering how nice the weather has been since.

I took like 5 photos of Cameron and in every single one, he was eating the snow..Gross!

Kaycee just posing as usual!!

Cameron and Beau went to the corn maze for their field trip with Treasure house pre-school. They have so much fun together!

Sorry Ladies, He is taken!!! Doesn't he look so hot?? j/k

Bryce had to dress up to go to work on Halloween night. My nephew Braden let him borrow this outfit. In case you haven't seen the movie "Semi-Pro" He is dressed as Jackie Moon who is played by Will Farrell. I told him that I wasn't worried about any women wanting to pick him up that night....I don't know about anyone else but I'm not so much into the red afros!!!

Before we took the kids trick or treating, we went and visited my Nana who is in a nursing home. She is 95 years old!!

My little Star Wars guy and Bat Girl!!!

Every year Kaycee want's to be some kind of superhero..last year was Wonder Woman, this year was Bat Girl!

Kaycee's first hunting trip and I'm sure it won't be her last. She has been begging Bryce to take her hunting so a few weeks ago he took her pheasant hunting with his Dad and Brother. Kaycee had so much fun. As most of you know..she's not the most girly thing!! Bryce is such a good Dad to take her along with him.

Daddy's little hunting buddy!

Bryce, Kaycee, Grandpa Gary and Uncle Brett!

RIP Obi-Wan Kenobi

We are sad to announce the decapitation of Obi-Wan Kenobi. (Star Wars guy)

So this happened a couple of weeks ago but I'm a little slow at posting it. I just thought that it was too funny not to share... So I sent Cameron to bed one night and instead of going to sleep, I could hear him in their playing with his little star wars action figures (which he is totally obsessed with right now) and all of the sudden he started crying and ran into my room. When I asked him why he was crying he said " I swallowed Obi-Wan Kenobi's head!!!" I said, "You did what?" and he told me again "I swallowed Obi-Wan Kenobi's head. He then started making throw up sounds and was going through the motions of vomitting. He then started sticking his hand down his throat to try and get it out but was getting frustrated because his hand was too big. Bryce and I were busting up laughing!! (after we made sure he wasn't choking and was going to be ok, of course!!) He was so devasted that his Obi-Wan has no head and he knew that it probably wasn't the best thing to swallow it. For one, what in the world was he doing with his head in his mouth and another, I thought that we were past the whole putting things in your mouth phase..Apparantley not!

So needless to say, We were on poop watch for a week or so and still no head has made an appearance yet (at least that we could see) and I wasn't about to go exploring!!! Anyway, I'm sure the head has passed, and it was pretty little so I'm not too worried, but this is one story I had to write down so we can laugh about it when Cam is older.

Halloween Fun!!

2008-10-09T15:54:00.001-07:00

So I've been slacking a little on the blogging but my camera is currently broke so I can't take any pictures..by the way, don't ever buy a kodak camera..they suck!!! Anyway, I thought that since Halloween is coming it would be fun to post some pics of my little goblins and their halloween costumes over the years...

1st day of pre-school!!

2008-09-15T21:23:00.000-07:00

Ready for School!!

Cael, Cameron and Beau in front of Miss Brenda's house

Cameron started pre-school last with with Miss Brenda at Treasure House Pre-school. He is really enjoying it. Some days I wonder if he is learning anything and then all of the sudden he'll start singing a song he has learned or he has even started to recite the Pledge Of Allegiance. He is getting more grown up everyday!

CAMPING

2008-09-15T21:16:00.000-07:00

CAMPING

2008-09-15T20:36:00.000-07:00

So Kaycee has been bugging us all summer to go camping so we thought we better hurry and get a trip in before it gets cold...So we packed up our little tent that fits on the back of Bryce's truck and grabbed an air mattress, a couple sleeping bags and a few blankets thinking that would be more than enough to keep us warm and headed up to the meadows campground. The weather was nice until about 8:00 and then we started to freeze..you know it's cold when you sit around the fire and see your breath. So we bundled the kids up in layers of clothing and put as much as we had on us and headed to bed. It was a very long night listening to kids just snore away while Bryce and I searched for each other's feet to try and stay warm. The kids had so much fun even though it was just for one night and it was freezing!!! They didn't seem to mind it at all. They kept telling us how much fun they were having which I guess makes it worth it!!!

Family Pics

2008-09-02T18:20:00.000-07:00

So I decided that I suck at this whole blogging thing! Trying to find the time to update has been quite a chore but it has also been fun. These are some pics that were taken on Sunday at Sandridge park. There are better ones to come, these are just some that we took of us goofing off!

2008-09-02T18:05:00.001-07:00

First Day of School!!!

Kaycee was so excited for first grade. It has been quite an adjustment with the long days and the school lunch but she is enjoying it.

Fourth of July

2008-08-23T19:54:00.000-07:00

On the Fourth of July we went to the West Point parade in the morning and then went to a swimming party at aunt Sherries. The kids had a lot of fun!

MEXICO

2008-08-23T19:42:00.000-07:00

Bryce and I just had our 10th anniversary on July 10th! We celebrated earlier this year in Cancun Mexico! We had so much fun. We already want to go back there and maybe take the kids next time..We'll....maybe not!!

This was the view from our room at the Moon Palace! Here we are at the beach at the Mayan Ruins!

Summer Fun

2008-08-23T19:12:00.000-07:00
