Cameron's First Birthday!!!

Cameron's Birthday
July 2, 2009

I think Cam was more excited to get held again after I finally finished the cake than he was to see the final product:)


Jordy and Jacob both found toys they could give Cam during breakfast for his presents from them. This is Cam's first sippy cup of whole milk. It was a record at 2 seconds to get him off the bottle. He is such an easy baby!

Cam is getting ready to blow out his first candle.



Jacob and Jax are trying to show him how to blow.




Cam opening presents from grandma. All of Cam's family came over to celebrate and have cake with him.


I took Cam, Jacob and Kate to Build-a-Bear workshop during the day. Cam pick a cute dog with floppy ears to bring home. I love that it is bigger than he is.



After the cake we all went to the West Jordan Rodeo. Cam enjoyed seeing all the animals and eating candy.


Cam has been the sweetest little guy. He is always happy and just goes with the flow. He has slept through the night since he was 6 weeks old. He is sweet and makes all the boys smile. He gets so excited to see his older brothers and play with them. He has cute curly blond hair and big blue eyes. I have loved having him around. He is very strong and has a high tolerance for pain. The boys and I joke that he is a super hero. He will bonk his head so hard and not even notice. He giggles and plays so cute with his daddy. When Cam is very happy or excited he puts both hands in the air and waves them, we call it his happy hands. So one of his nicknames is happy hands, there is also squeaker and Camo. He has been a huge blessing to our family!

The Hope of America!

Jax just finished 6th grade and will never again be in Elementary School. He is an amazing person and an outstanding student. I am so grateful to even know him let alone be his mother. It is a choice blessing to have him in our family. At the end of the year the teachers held an awards ceremony for the 6th graders. Jax received the most awards out of all the students. Including the gold award in academics for having straight A's all year long, safety patrol, ledger party, attendance, and the presidential fitness award. He was also the school mascot this year and received a trophy for being the best bulldog;) The last award given to the students was The Hope of America award. It is given to the boy and girl in 6th grade who are the best all around student. It involves being a friend, leader, example, giving service, and outstanding academics. The teachers actually cried when giving this award. Jax was the boy chosen. I am so proud of him! I love him so much. Jax and his teacher Mr. Cleveringa










St. George Family Reunion!

Every year we do a family trip to St. George. We go and see a play and do activities together. This year we tubed down the Virgin River and also did a hike in Zions. We had a lot of fun together. Grandma, Grandpa, and Jacob making faces:)
