SO far behind...

I can't believe how much time had gone by and how many events have past without me documenting them. So this is going to be a long post, so here we go....

HaPpY BiRtHdAy KaMrEn!!!

I can't believe my little boy is 5! Where have the years gone? From day one he changed our lives Completely. I will never forget that first night in the hospital when the nurses wouldn't let him stay in the nursery because he wouldn't stop crying. And so it began...

How lucky he is that he has the most beautiful blue eyes ever. They have saved his life on many occasions!

Of course I am kidding, I love him so much. So like I have done for the other kids birthdays I will list 5 of my favorite things about Kam.

1. He is the BEST hugger! There isn't a day that goes by that I don't get at least 10 hugs from

this boy.

2. He amazes me (and anyone else that will watch) every day with his athleticism and

coordination. This boy can Play Ball.

3. He wakes up happy to see me every day.

4. He is so smart. The things he says and remembers blows me away.

5. And last but not least...His eyes!!! What I wouldn't do for his eyes.

We are so lucky to have this amazing boy in our family. He definitely keeps life interesting!!

Happy Birthday Kamren! We Love You!

Labor Day and Labor Day Baseball Tournament

Labor day is always a fun family weekend. So much going on and we love every minute. Friday night, keeping with tradition, Grandma Ruth and Grandpa Dale take all the kids to the carnival. Then it's back to their house for the fireworks.

To add to all of the other activities going on that weekend, Kyle was asked to join a different team and play with them in a baseball tournament. He had a blast and played 5 great games helping his team come in 2Nd place(they were totally robbed, they had won the 1st place team earlier that day).

With the parade and baseball, fireworks and the carnival it all seemed to whip us around so fast it seems like it all blurred together. I look forward to this madness every single year!!

Trip to the Zoo

This year instead of fighting with the dads to go with us to the zoo, we left them home. Win Win for everyone. Except for the mom that has 4 kids, one stroller and at least 2 kids that want to ride in it at all times. Which would be me! Oh well...Anyway.

We picked the perfect day to go. The weather was so nice and all the animals were out and walking around. There were so many new babies...A monkey, an elephant, a giraffe, and 3 tiger cubs. We could have stayed and watched the baby monkey All Day. He was so stinkin cute!
Klaire was so cute, the only animal she didn't love were the giraffes, she thought that they were going to get her.

We had such a fun day.

::Happy Halloween::

For Halloween this year we did something a little different. We spent it in St. George with some friends. We had a Great time!! We stayed in an amazing house that had a beautiful outdoor swimming pool that just kept calling to the kids, but the water was Freezing! They were sure that the water was warm enough to get in even though Angela and I told them a million times that it wasn't. To prove us wrong they all decided to jump in...with a little monetary motivation from Angela in the sum of $1.00 each...And Yes they decided we were telling them the truth. The water was so cold it totally knocked the breath out of them. But when you have a dollar in your hand it's totally worth it...right?

We had so much fun trick-or-treating in the 70 degree weather, and the kids made quite the haul. Then came the even better part when the trick-or-treaters started coming to our house and we made them give away the candy that they didn't really want because we didn't have anything else to give out.

I hope you all made it to the end...And I am going to try my hardest

to not get that far behind again.
