Miley came to Visit (and Sheri)

Unfortunately this is the best picture I got, but it is pretty funny. I couldn't get one with the three of them. Cameron and Kennedy just love their cousin Miley. We had so much fun with her when she came. We went to Taffy Town, Discovery Gateway, the Zoo, fun in BC, and even threw a baby shower for my cousin in the mix of the trip. We miss you guys so much, can't wait to see you again soon!

Bedtime Fun

Disney on Ice

Seriously so fun! In Cameron's words it was spectacular and grand. Because we have awesome friends they told us about taking canned food and scoring tickets to Disney on Ice. We got a ticket for Kennedy, but decided not to bring her (thanks again for watching her Staci), and Cam brought his friend Makayla.







I loved it and if you can't tell so did Cameron. When the characters all came out for the first number he leaned over to Tyson and said, "I can't believe it"They really but on a cool show and our seats weren't bad. If we drive by the Energy Solutions Arena Cameron will tell you all about how he wants to take you there to see Disney on Ice. So fun!!!!

St. Patrick's Day

I probably over kill most holidays, but we had a lot of fun with St. Patrick's Day (although the kids were sick again, second year in a row on the actual day).
Some fun things we did for the holiday:

decorated our door with green clovers
several spring and rainbow themed FHE nights, one including rainbow sherbet
read St.Patrick's Day stories
made green cupcakes
made a rainbow on our wall with a treasure behind the T.V.

went to a St. Patrick's Day parade with our friends from Ireland


had a neighborhood treasure hunt all around the playground



Had to add this one in of Kennedy mad at Cameron getting on her car (which is his). Oh, siblings.

Crazy Times

So I have been way behind on my blogging. This past month has been busy in unexpected ways. I usually post about happy things going on, but since this is suppose to be our family journal I thought it was necessary I document some unfortunate things that have been happening. Poor Tyson, started his surgery rotation, which is long hours and he hasn't been loving it as much as others. So the first week in we get a call in the middle of the night from our neighbors that our house was flooding. Luckily, it wasn't that bad. The only major damage was the library books in the bag by the door. We did stay with the Joneses for a few night to let everything dry. It was just a super pain, our whole living room was outside and then moved into our other rooms to avoid the storm. Then, we have been in and out of sickness. First Tyson and then the kids. Blaze (Tyson's car) also broke down and we had to get it towed and fixed. Lastly, at my yearly check up at the doctors the doctor discovered a heart murmur. So, several weeks later after talking to family and seeing a cardiologist and getting an echo it turns out it this type of murmur runs in my family and I am fine, I just have this functional heart murmur that I have apparently had my whole life, but just found out about. So, some pretty crazy stuff as been happening, but through it all we have still felt very blessed and our little trials aren't munch when you think of what others have to go through. But, there's a little update. Fun posts to come. Sorry to be a downer.

Valentine's Day

So, I am all about holidays. I just love to decorate and do fun things with the kids. We tried to do something fun everyday in February until Valentines. I just wanted to write them down somewhere so I can remember them for next year. Some of the things we did included; manilla envelopes on doors where I put the activity for the day in, a heart hunt (taped hearts up all over the kids room), heart cupcakes, made a picture with glued tissue pare, jello jigglers, made valentines, for family and friends(snow globes), gum ball machines, taffy candy, heart sponge paint, valentine veggie tale movie, heart puppet, and a heart scavenger hunt to find little gifts.
And of course I had to add a precious picture of these two.

Cameron and Kennedy's Birthday Bash

I may of went all out with the green and pink theme. But, I was pretty pleased how it turned out. This was the main table with pink and green candy for the guests to tale home in little to go boxes.

I also put pictures on it of them.

Staci also brought some cute things form her home to help spruce it up. Thanks!

Here is the food table. We had soups and bread.

I was pretty proud of my attempt to make nice cakes. Plus they were very yummy.

The presents table, two very spoiled children.

Cameron with his cute hat I made.

Kennedy in her hat. She only wore it for a second. Poor girl didn't feel very well, but she was still cute as could be.

The kids got such great gifts.

Kennedy stole the show with the clothes. She wanted to put all of them on. She loves clothes and talking on her knew cell phone.

Had to document his first glove and ball.

So excited about her knew coat.

Caeron right before he blew out his candle.

She was pretty excited for her cake. I think she liked everyone watching her.

It tasted pretty good too. Thanks again to everyone who came, we sure love our family. What big kids.

Kennedy is One

Where did the time go? She is already one. We just love our Kennedy. She is little Miss determined. She knows what she wants and you can't stop her. She is a lot more advenourous than Cameron ever was. She has no fear. I am constantly chasing her from climbing off the couch, chairs, and tables. She doesn't really play with toys as much as she climbs on them. She says a few words, but nothing on command. When you ask her to say something she looks at you as if she doesn't want to say that. She will give you five and blow a kiss (well she puts her hand over her mouth). She is usually very pleasant, a messy eater, and copies whatever cameron does. Some of the things she say:
Mom, dad, up, meow (cat), cam, bike, nana, on, off, and out.
her favorites: climbing on the little table, coffee table, chairs, aand couch.
pushing the vacuum, ans stroller (although she takes the baby out and tries to fit in the stroller.
pullling toys out and sitting in boxes, even when she clearly can't fit. Opening and pulling things out of all drawers.
Jumping in crib with Cameron and stuffed animals.
Trying to eat with a spoon.
Trying to color like brother.
Climbing up on the tool box to play with work bench drill, saw, and screw driver.
Kennedy is just the cutest little girl, she is always smiling and making us laugh. We love you!!
