New Beginnings All-stars Yea!

Last Wednesday we had New Beginnings. Can I just scream yea, now that it is over! Any one else in YW knows what I am talking about. This year we had an NBA theme. We copied my Moms ward. It is so nice to be able to share ideas. It was so much fun and the girls loved it.

The cheerLEADERS, Kristen, Holly, Korie, Lindsey and me. We all dressed up as cheerleaders and we even did a cheer, with a stunt might I add. You should all be laughing because it was pretty comical! Suzanne and Teri couldn't be there that night and we definitely missed them.
We had hot dogs, nachos, grapes, popcorn and ice cream sandwiches for dessert. We tried to stick with the typical concession foods.

Hannah sang the National Anthem for our opening song.We had eight tables decorated in all the different value colors. They turned out pretty cute.

The night was a lot of work but was so much fun. I am so glad that I get to serve with these girls they make it so much fun!(I couldn't put ladies that sounds to old!) So to anyone out there that hasn't done New Beginnings here is a great idea!

Pretty Girl!

Ever since Camree was born I have always put bows or flowers in her hair. Because of that both Kyson and Camree think that she is not ready unless she has one in her hair. So the other day Kyson told me that he was going to make Camree look really pretty and put a bow in her hair. This is how she turned out. I guess the more bows and flowers you have in your hair the prettier you are!
The total came in at 10! I was surprised she sat still long enough to let Kyson put them all in!

The end product=One pretty girl and one proud big brother!

SuZiEs FaMiLy ShOwEr

A week ago Saturday we had a family shower for Suzie at my house. We invited close friends and family. Suzie had so much support. Thanks everyone for coming!

Kira and JoAnne helped plan the shower. Here Kira is showing all of the items that were under the blanket for the memorization game. We also had a game to see who could guess what baby food was what.

The CHEATERS, Jill, Melinda, and Wendy! These three decided to split all of the items under the blanket into three sections and then share each section with each other. What do you know they remembered all 13 items. Too bad they are cheaters so they didn't get the prize!
Suzie with all of her presents. She ended up getting the rest of the the major necessities she needed. We are all ready for little Missy to arrive!
Mom, Suzie and Grandma Gay. Camree giving the baby a hug. Every time she sees Suzie she gives the baby loves.

Now it's time for a kiss. Camree is going to love this baby girl. Soon she will have a real live doll!

Parking anyone?

Since we live in the Draper Temple district our stake has been asked to help with the open house. Two weeks ago Rob volunteered to help and was asked to help show people where to park. I figured that this is something that doesn't happen every day, so the kids and I drove up to the Temple to take some pictures and say hi to Dad. Rob was thrilled!

I tried to get him to point at me where to park for a picture but he didn't appreciate that! You have got to love a man in uniform even if it is only an orange vest with the Temple in the back ground!
Daddy saying hi to the kids. I am so glad that we drove up there. It got Kyson so excited to go and see the inside of Temple. We haven't been to the open house yet, but we are going soon and are so excited to have this new Temple right in our backyard!

It's a Girl!

Two weeks ago it was Suzie's first baby shower. She is 7 months prego here! Don't you just want to kill her! If only we could all look so good! We are so excited to have another little girl in our family! Let's face it we know girls in this fam. This was her friend shower and she had so much support. It was fun to see all of her friends that we hadn't seen in a long time. All of the sisters except for Mikelle she couldn't make it, and Mom. This should give you a good idea of what this little one might look like. Girl Power! Sorry boys you have a lot of catching up to do!

GO COUGARS!

A couple of weeks ago we went to the BYU basketball game with my parents and Sarah. We all know how the football season ended so we are hoping that this basketball season goes a lot better!
Cute little Camree.

Sarah with Camree and surprise she is eating popcorn!

Kyson was totally into the game. It was really cute.
This picture is hideous of me but cute of Camree so I decided to put it on. The game was great and what do you know we won! Thanks Mom and Dad for taking us we had a great time!

MoRe pLeAsE!

I had to put this picture on here. For those of you that don't know, my little Camree is an insanely good eater! I think if I let her she would eat all day long. As soon as she is done eating she says "more please!" Who would have known that we had to get her to eat regularly in order to take her home from the hospital, only weighing in at a whopping 5 pounds! Don't you worry she has gone from not being on the charts at all to the 25th percentile in weight. So, needless to say she loves food. Here she just finished eating a chocolate cookie. Do you think she liked it? It's a good thing she likes to eat because I love to squeeze her chubby cheeks and thighs!

Sleep-Over

Kyson had his first sleep-over with someone else other than grandma and grandpa. Aunt Sarah and Suzie had him sleep-over the other night. I was a little skeptical and wasn't sure how he would do. I thought that maybe he would wake up in the middle of the night and want Mom and Dad. We decided to let him sleep-over and see how it would go. Boy were we wrong, he did great! He wasn't even ready to come home when he woke up. I guess this is just another step in my little boy growing up!
