Father's Day!

2016-06-24T20:53:00.000-07:00

I think John had a great Father's Day this year! In the morning he read his card and after church we headed to John's parent's house to eat dinner. Thanks for everything you do for us babe! We love you! Xoxo!!!

Weston's LAST day of Preschool!

2016-06-24T19:44:00.000-07:00

Weston had such a great year at Miss Cassie's preschool! I'm so proud of my little lefty! I'm excited to send him to transitional kindergarten in Sept!

Weston's FIRST Day of Preschool!

2015-09-03T11:33:00.003-07:00

My little Westy FINALLY got to start preschool this year! His first day was on September 1st, 2015! He goes Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-12 p.m. His teacher's name is Mrs. Cassie. She is a lady in John's parent's ward who has taught preschool for 15 years. There are 4 other kids in his class. He enjoyed his fist day. He told me he played with play dough, learned about thumbs up and thumbs down and read a book about a boy who was being "naughty," Ha! He also said that she had a radio and they played songs. Sounds like a great first day! We took first day of preschool pics on Tuesday and today he wanted me to take them again and with a sign! Ha. Ha. I obliged and Cam wanted in on the action too!

Easter 2015.

2015-04-16T14:11:00.000-07:00

Easter Sunday fell on General Conference weekend this year. I put the boys in their Easter outfits the Sunday before. We dyed eggs on Saturday afternoon. Weston had fun participating this year! On Sunday, it was nice to stay home in our pajamas and watch all the talks on TV. Weston woke up that morning throwing up, so he was sick all morning. It was so sad to see his little body wrenching and throwing up so many times. Poor buddy! He was still able to have fun and enjoy his new Thomas Trackmaster Set! The boys have been playing with them non stop! Win! We made scones and homemade honey butter as we do every General Conference and enjoyed the day together as a family. Happy Easter!

Pictures From Camden's Birthday.

2015-04-16T13:32:00.001-07:00

We kept it really low key on his birthday. We went to Chick Fil A for lunch and that evening we got Pizza and Nothing Bundt Cake for dessert. We ate dinner, then had cake. After dinner we opened his presents. We sure love you big boy!

I am so behind on blogging again! Anyway, our sweet baby Camden turned 2 on April 3rd. A couple weeks before that our neighbor Brandi Dalhouse of B House Photography took his 2 year birthday pictures in Old Town Spring. It was windy, and some of the balloons popped, but other than that, Cam did well and Brandi did a great job! I love how they turned out! Thanks Brandi!

Weston's 3rd Birthday Photo Shoot.

2014-10-22T12:02:00.002-07:00

We had family pictures/Weston's 3rd birthday photos last Sunday evening. She got us back 4 birthday pics of Weston that night! She is amazing! Photos by: Three Peas Photos.

Weston's Fire Truck Party!

2014-10-22T11:49:00.000-07:00

Weston turned 3 on October 20th! He had a friend party the Saturday before. I've never thrown a birthday party before, so I was a little nervous, but it turned out pretty good! 9 of his little friends came. The only activity I had planned was coloring a fire truck page. It ended up being hot outside, but the kids didn't seem to mind too much. Most of the adults stayed inside. We ate and then opened presents. After presents, we served his yummy pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting! My friend Michelle made the cake and his red velvet cupcakes. I just added the bunting on top of the cake. I think Weston had a fun time! On his actual birthday, we went to lunch and when daddy got home that night, we opened presents from

his Grandparents. We got him a trampoline for his birthday, but it's not set up yet. Hopefully this weekend John will get it set up. Happy 3rd Birthday WESTON! We sure love you!

My friend Kayley made the cute invitations.

Life Lately...

2014-06-27T12:48:00.000-07:00

Now that I can blog from my iPhone I'll be more likely to blog more often. It's just so easy when it's right from your phone. Now that I don't do monthly photo shoots, I just haven't had the motivation to blog. Especially with Instagram. I feel like I put everything I want to share already on there. There's room for more here and I feel like it's important to document this time in my life. These two little boys keep me so busy, and some days are really tough, but I wouldn't trade it for anything! I'm grateful to be their mom! Here are some recent pics. Weston is 33 months and Camden is almost 15 months.

Bath Time.

2014-06-27T11:35:00.000-07:00

These boys love their baths! I sure love to watch them play and interact together!

Cam's Birthday Pics/Photoshoot.

2014-04-11T13:13:00.002-07:00

On the 29th of March we had Marci of Three Peas Photography take Cam's 1 year pics in a little mini shoot. We had only 15 minutes, but she managed to get these cute 10 pics in 10 minutes! She had them all edited and back to us within a few days! She rocks! I put him in the same jeans and shoes that I put Weston in for his 1 year shoot. These were at a location in Katy. John's parents came into town for his birthday to celebrate with us. We had a great time with them here. John's mom helped me make his rainbow birthday cake. It was so messy and took forever, but so worth it for pics! It actually tasted really yummy too as the cake was made from scratch and I made homemade cream cheese frosting as well. It was leaning, but turned out cute! Happy 1st birthday Camden! We love you! Xoxo...

Camden 12 Month Photo Shoot.

2014-04-11T12:41:00.000-07:00

Yay! I'm finally done with his monthly photo shoots! This one was almost a disaster. He would not sit still or let me take his pic. A ton of the pics were blurry cause he was moving away or towards me. Ha Ha. He is still in size 3 diapers, he can stand for about 5-10 seconds. He has taken like 5-10 steps and is getting more confident everyday. He loves to laugh and cuddle with me. He loves to play with Weston's trains and cars. Anyway, this little turkey had his last photo shoot on the 3rd of April. Here are all his photos.

Camden 11 Month Photo Shoot.

2014-03-07T20:10:00.000-08:00

The little turkey is 11 months now. I'm glad I only have one more time of taking his monthly pics. It's so hard! He's so fast and will not sit still! It's such a pain, but I'm so glad that I take them, and I know I'll appreciate it later on in life. It was so funny, he kept trying to eat his month sticker.! He's such a busy body, these pictures totally show that! He's still pretty bald and doesn't stand by himself yet. He FINALLY broke his first tooth! I can't believe there aren't any more in there. Crazy! He wears size 3 diapers still and size 12 month or 12-18 month clothes. He's still taking two naps a day and sleeps great at night. I think he weighs like 20-21 pounds. I'll have to double check. He's very vocal and screams really loud when he doesn't get food fast enough in his mouth! It's funny. He loves to always be around Weston and play with everything Wes has. Poor Cam gets a lot of abuse from Weston. Sometimes he's a good sport, and other times he makes him scream. It's really cute when they play together, and I look forward to seeing them play more together in the future.

Camden 10 Month Photo Shoot.

2014-02-08T20:07:00.002-08:00

These photo shoots are getting so hard! Ha. Ha. He wasn't feeling well on the 3rd, so I waited until the next day to take his pics. He still wasn't feeling his best, and kept crawling away from me and trying to take off his month sticker. Luckily I got some decent ones and I have two more times of doing these shoots. He is such a sweet, happy baby, MOST of the time. He still has NO TEETH and has been "teething" for so many months. I am shocked he doesn't have any yet. He is getting good at eating crackers and other solids though. He is still pretty much bald on top, but has some hair in the back. It's funny. I think he weighs around 20 pounds. He is definitely slowing down though and leaning out. Sad... He's still wearing size 3 diapers, and size 12 month clothes. He sleeps twice a day and goes to bed around 7:00. Happy 10 months Chunk!

Camden 9 Month Photo Shoot.

2014-01-08T18:33:00.000-08:00

Before I blog about Christmas this year, here is Camden's 9 month photos. His stats are: Weight: 19 lbs. 9 ounces. (48%) Height: 28 inches. (35%) and Head Circumference: 17.52 cm (35%). He's leaned out a bit, but still has chubby cheeks! He wears size 3 diapers for now, but soon he'll need to be in 4's. He wears size 12 month clothes. He is crawling super fast, standing up to everything and walking along furniture. He only has a little bit of hair and still no teeth! His first word was mama! Yay! Weston's first word was that too. Makes me happy. He is a little butterball and we love him dearly.

Camden 8 Month Photo Shoot.

2013-12-03T20:29:00.000-08:00

Cam is 8 months old today. He's growing up at lightning speed! He crawls really fast, stands up to everything and anything. He loves to come up to me and pull himself up so I'll hold him. He really loves to be held. He loves to chase big brother around and EVERYTHING goes into his mouth! He still has no teeth and very little hair! I am so shocked! Weston had like 6 teeth by now. He is very loud, feeds himself his bottle, wears size 12 month shirts, size 3 diapers, takes 2-3 naps a day, loves squash, bananas, sweet potatoes, and carrots. Weston had to be in some of them as usual, and Cam is wearing a festive Christmas diaper! We love this chunky monkey so much!

Weston Practicing the Alphabet.

2013-11-26T20:40:00.001-08:00

Weston has become really interested in the alphabet lately. He loves his alphabet puzzles and is getting pretty good at it. I love to see him retain the things I am trying to teach him. I love my little smarty pants. P.S. I was resting and he dumped out all the letters on my chest. Ha. Ha. Silly kid.

They love to play together.

2013-11-26T20:30:00.000-08:00

Cam loves to chase Weston around. It cracks me up. Weston also likes to chase Cam around. It's so funny he will get down and crawl like a "baby." I love to see them playing and interacting together. Sometimes he makes Cam cry, but most of the time they are sweet together.

Camden 7 Month Photo Shoot.

2013-11-07T21:28:00.000-08:00

Camden turned 7 months on Sunday. He is crawling now and sitting up and can easily get out of the sitting position into crawling. He has crawled a few times with his knees and stomach off the floor, but he still mostly just scoots along. He gets anywhere he needs to fairly quickly. Weston and him fight over toys all the time and he loves to stand up to the couch. He only takes two short naps a day, but he sleeps great at night, so I can't complain. He is getting so fun and I just love him to pieces.

Halloween 2013.

2013-11-05T12:28:00.000-08:00

We had a fun Halloween this year! We forgot to carve our pumpkins and Weston had a tantrum

right before trick or treating, but other than that it was fun! He's more interested in running around and pushing the stroller than going door to door and getting candy. He's obsessed with asking me for treats all day though, so I'm not sure why he didn't quite understand trick or treating? Anyway, Weston was a dragon, and Cam was Batman this year. We made delicious homemade Chicken Noodle Soup and watched It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Next year I think he'll love Halloween!

Family Photos.

2013-10-27T18:38:00.001-07:00

We wanted to get our family photos taken sometime in the next month or two for our Holiday card. I knew of a photographer that I wanted to take our pics. She is my friend's sister. Anyway, I contacted her to see what her availability was in the next couple of months. She said she was all booked until January! I was so disappointed. The next day she said she had a last minute cancellation for the following day at Rice University. At first I told her no because I thought it would be too difficult to get outfits ready etc. I told John about it and he said if we can figure out what to wear he was game. I asked her if the spot was still available and she said it was! We went shopping that night and found a few things that would work. I was stressed about what to wear. I think we pulled it together and luckily the rain subsided and we were able to still have the shoot. Weston was running around like crazy and Cam fell face forward onto the pavement out of the little chair and threw up all over, but luckily we calmed him down after a few minutes and were back at it. Poor baby. We felt so bad! We just couldn't catch him in time! Luckily he landed on his pot belly and didn't scrape up his face. She did so great and was very patient with the kids. It was near impossible to get a smile out of Weston. Luckily she got a few and just in time for his 2nd birthday! We are happy with how they turned out. Our favorite one is the last one!

Weston Turned Two!

2013-10-22T16:09:00.000-07:00

My little buddy turned 2 yesterday! The night before John put together his Strider balance bike for him to see when he woke up. He came downstairs and said bike, bike, bike. Ha ha. I think it's going to take him awhile to know how to ride it, but I think he'll love it when he does! The boys and I stayed home from church cause we were still a little sick. After John came back from church we let him open a few presents from his Grandparents. He is still getting the hang of opening gifts. We were able to FaceTime both sets of Grandparents so they could see him open the presents they gave him. The grandparents really appreciated that. He got some fun stuff. Lucky kid. We didn't have a party or anything this year, but I made him some yummy Pumpkin Cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. I think he liked the frosting at least! Ha, Ha. I think we will start parties for his next birthday. Here are pics from Sunday.

Stats.

2013-10-19T12:19:00.000-07:00

We took the boys to their well checks like 9 days ago. They did great! Cam's 6 month check was a little late, and Weston's a little early (10 days) so I'd only have to go once. Here are their stats. Love these two crazy kids!
