Cambree and Chloees Birthdays

I know I am a little slow at this. We celebrated Cambree and Chloees birthdays all month in October. I think we had a party each weekend. It was a lot of fun and of corse the girls loved all the attention. We do celebrate their birthdays separate. What we do as a family is, we let the girls pick where they want to eat dinner and after dinner we take them to Toys R Us and let them pick out a present. We usually do this the weekend before their birthdays and they love it. We are a part of the Geoffrey's birthday club so when we go to Toys-R-US they announce over the speaker that it is their birthday they think they are so special. We had a friend party at our place in the "back yard" (that's what the girls call it), the girls invite their friends and we decorated cupcakes and just let the kids play it was a lot of fun. We also had a family party which was wonderful, most everyone in the family came. It was really nice to see everyone. October is our busy time for birthdays now we get to rest until April then we get to celebrate Liams. Thanks Rachel for the great pictures, I am trying to get better at remembering to take pictures. Here are some pictures of all the parties we had for them.

All boy

Liam is all boy! He is now 18 months and he loves balls and cars. He is starting to talk. Liam is so much fun, he loves to play with his sisters and the neighbor kids. Liam has discovered climbing and he is fast at it, just today I was making dinner and the next thing I know he is on the table yikes, I am used to girls my girls did not climb. I am afraid of where I will find him next.

Here are some pics of my cute little boy.

I've been tagged

I've been tagged a few times so I will finally tell the six weird things about me.



#1. I hate doing dishes, I will clean my house spotless, but will still have a sink of dishes to do.

#2. I am very picky with my clothing and how it fits.

#3. I crave exercising. If I miss a day or two at the gym I go through withdrawals.

#4. I would rather spend money on my kids before myself.

#5. I am kind of needy. I don't know what I would do without my Hubie.

#6. I will always fall asleep watching a movie at home.

That was kind oh hard for me to do, I think I am just a weird person. I hope you learned a few new things about me.

Cambrees first day of school

Cambree started school on August 25th 2008 and she loves it. I thought we would be busier but for the first time since I have had kids we have had a routine, it has been forced upon us.We walk Cambree to school and when we get home Chloee gets to spend some good time alone with me and Liam naps then we walk and pick Cambree up (I hope the walking pays off, it is quite the incline pushing a full double stroller). When Cambree gets home she does her homework and then we all sit down and read for 20 min together, so far it has been great. All three kids go to bed at 8:00 and they get right up in the morning. I wish I would have been a more disciplined mom and had stuck to a routine from the beginning.
So far Cambree has had a back to school night where we got to meet her teacher and see what she will be doing this year in school. She has brought home book order, fundraisers, and of course her homework folder. I really like her teacher and have been really impressed by the Alpine School District. I can't believe how fast she has grown up, Cambree is such a great sister and a wonderful helper. Me as her mother I need to let the leash out a little bit more now that she wants to be a little more independent.

Cambree's First day of school.

Cambree is already distracted

Cambree was so excited

This kids were so cute when they lined up and walked into class all by themselves. Cambree did so well she said good bye gave me a hug and she was gone.

The school district has a strict pick up policy which I don't mind. If you pick up your child you need to meet them by the flag pole give your teacher a high five so the teacher sees who the child is leaving with. I am sure all schools are the same, but this is new to me.

The 4th of July

The 4th of July is one of our favorite holidays, just like all the others we get to juggle both families. We don't mind the chaos and all the running around, we actually have gotten really good at making sure we get to spend the same amount of time with each family. This year we spent the morning and afternoon with Matts family, we had breakfast at Bill and Pats and swam all day long. Matt and the girls got a lot of sun, they had sun kissed cheeks and Matt had a sore back. Thanks to Valerie we got these pictures, Thank you Val I will get you a cd soon. This was how much fun everyone had.

Matt and Liam oh so cute


Brian, Keven, Matt and Curt thought they were kids again

Bill had to fill the pool up after they were done. They had fun and that is what counts

Thanks Val for the great pictures


In the evening we went swimming again with my family then we went to Murray park had dinner and watched the kids play and watched fireworks. I think Murray puts on a really good firework shoe and the traffics is not bad at all Murray City does a really good job.

Thanks Nana for taking us swimming at your pool. Lets do it again soon!

June was a crazy month

June was a crazy month, as you all know we were renting Bill and Pats house which was a great opportunity for us it help us out a lot. Matt and I felt like it was our time to move on, we could have stayed but after we prayed about it we knew we had to move. After searching and searching we could not find anything is Salt Lake County, we were about to move out to Riverton to be closer to my parents and Matt parents. I even enrolled Cambree into kindergarten. But after I left the elemenrty school I felt so uneasy about it I started to question the move. So I began the search again and I found my self in Lehi, I found a condo that me and the girls really liked, but as you know rental properties can be beaten up. So I continues looking and found another condo it the same complex, and here we are in Lehi and we LOVE it. It is really quite it here and it feels like we live in the country but we are still close to everything and family. Since we have been out here we had a fox run out in front of us, we saw a buck, and just last night on our way up the stairs we saw a bunny.

I am getting so good at useing my camra I was able to get this picture

It has been a long time since I have added anything to my blog, so I am going back a few months to get you all caught up with all that has been going on in our family.

Starting on May 16th Cambree had her preschool graduation which was really cute, I can't believe all the work that went into this graduation. Cambree went to Jacquies preschool we loved it so much. It was in Taylorsville out where we used to live, Cambree made some great friends and the teachers were awsome!! I would totally recommend Jacques Preschool to anyone, I would send Chloee there but the commute from Lehi would be a little too much. Here are some pictures of Cambree at her graduation.

Our Graduate

This is Porter and Cambree

Porter wants to Marry Cambree when they grow up.

Matt and I were so proud of our graduate

We made it a special day for her.

It was really funny at the end of the program when Mrs. Jacquie gave each student there diploma, she asked the child what they wanted to be when they grow up. Some of the kids wanted to be a Police man or a Doctor, Lawyer, Teacher, Mom. I was sure Cambree was going to say a Princess, but oh NO she had to be different, her answer was a WITCH!! Well I guess she could even be a comedian because she made everyone laugh, and to make it even better she was the very last person, so that means everyone will remember that Cambree wants to be a witch when she grows up, just like her mom.
