HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAMRYN!!!



Our little Kamryn turned one on August 1st. We can't believe how quickly the time has gone by. She is such a sweet and loveable little thing. She is walking or should I say running all over the place. She loves playing with Cooper and doing everything he does. She is quite a Mommy's girl yet very independent. Although she is pretty easy going, she won't hesitate to tell you if she is not happy. We love her and wouldn't change a thing about her.


Special Delivery for Kamryn . . . My parents were in town for Kamryn's birthday and to watch my sister's kids. They came up the day before her birthday party and we pulled out the car seat they got for her.



Can you believe they all fit in that box?!? They had more fun that night playing with that box than any other toy.

THE PARTY:




The day before Kamryn's birthday we threw her a birthday party. It was so much fun. We had all of our friends and family there. These are a few pictures of the cute decorations.



I just fell in love with the ladybug theme.



We had live lady bugs and let the kids catch them. What a hit! I had no idea the kids would love the lady bugs like they did.

Even the parents joined in.


1500 ladybugs is a lot of ladybugs!


Kamryn loves kissing babies . . . here she is smooching on her little man Emmett.



Zach showing me his ladybugs.


Cam was one with the ladybugs. He had them all over him.


Owen trying to catch one.



Tyler was the most determined child there. She was outside for most of the party trying to get as many ladybugs as she could in her jar.



We also played "Pin the dot on the ladybug".



Kamryn even joined in.



Cute little Presley smiling big for the camera.


Kamryn and Mommy resting before opening presents.



Kamryn and her cake. She was not timid at all. She dug in to that cake and ate tons of frosting.


Kamryn sharing some frosting with Daddy. Thanks to everyone who came to share Kamryn's birthday with us. We had so much fun!

Cute But Random Pictures

I have so many pictures and a lot of the time they don't warrent an entire blog entry so here are a few of the best ones . . .

UTAH

We went up to Utah a month ago and had lots of fun. The trip started out as a trip for the kids and I and then I decided to talk Mike into joining us and it turned into a quick family trip. My parents live up in the mountains in Utah and when you step out their front door or back door this is what you see. Pretty amazing! Cooper had so much fun exploring and hiking and Kamryn just loved trying to keep up.




We found a patch of snow on one of our hikes. Cooper had so much fun running in it.

Cooper loved hiking up to this stream. He would run back and forth through the icy water and eventually decided to sit in it. Needless to say, he was frozen on the walk home.
Of course Kamryn saw what Cooper was up to and had to join in.

Kamryn started walking a couple of months ago and while we were up in Utah she started to walk around with her arms extended behind her body. What a funny little girl.
