More Camrey pictures!

Camrey had the most adorable dress on last Sunday and I of course, HAD to take a few pictures!

Chase took this one of me, not bad except the sun-shine on the center of my face.

I took these other pictures in the shade, and now the color doesn't look so great!

But I don't have a good photo editing program on my computer ( and If I do I don't know where or what it is or how to use it), so these will have to do... my sister does a lot of photo editing on her pictures so may she can show me a few tricks.



Camrey was making the funniest faces during her bath, so I tried to get a video of it.
The squeaking sound is her feet rubbing on the tub.

Her hair tends to look like she stuck her finger in a light socket after a bath!

Vampires...

I just finished reading Harry Potter book 7 again! I love those books!!!

Tory and I went to see Harry Potter movie 6 for a date last month, and he has never read the books so if you've seen the movie you know it kind of leaves you hanging. So I convinced him to listen to book 7 on CD when he drives to and home from work. So each day he comes home and says some comment about what was happening in the book which made me want to read it again, which I did, and finished.

I love watching Smallville... but a new show called

"The Vampire Diaries" has now caught my interest.

My sister watched the first 2 episodes and loved them and recommended it. So thanks to the Internet and the CW website I was able to catch up!

My opinion... If you like Twilight Books, you'll enjoy this TV series. (But like so many shows on in today's world, the concept of teen sex seems to be accepted as "OK" unfortunately.)

Routeens...

I guess I'll make a quick post. I don't have pictures to post right now, and I just broke Chase's heart... Never Fails... any time I want to do something on the computer the kids come in and want to take me and my attention away from what I want to accomplish.

And now that I have that tid-bit out of the way I can't remember what I was going to post...

OK, I love school! What I mean is, I love having Chase go to school. What makes it even better is my baby Camrey likes to take her longest nap of the day while he is at school. So we have a great routine every day....

-Take Chase to Kindergarten at 8:30 a.m.

-Play the piano at 8:45 while Tyler watches "Super Why"

- Exercise for about 45 min while Tyler plays learning games on the computer

-Shower, pack a lunch, get milk for Camrey, wake her up, then...

-11:15 go get Chase and take kids to the park and feed Camrey sitting in a lawn chair while the boys play.

- Then around 12:30 we come home.

I feel like I do a lot of laundry with all the blow-outs Camrey has, and the Spit-up; and the boys like to play in the sand box almost every day so between the sand and sweat, they go through 1-2 outfits a day... but I guess that's part of my job as a mother!

Tyler started speech therapy again 2 weeks ago (Wednesday mornings for 30 min.) His communication has improved much since he started speech therapy over a year ago. The therapist asked me what I would like to have her work on with him, but I don't know what to tell her.

Tyler use to get so upset and mad in the morning when I had to take off his PJ's and get him dressed. Screaming and all; one day I took him to the grocery store in his PJ's just to avoid the drama! But after about 4 days of getting him dressed 1 thing in the morning it has become a new routine for him and the drama is gone. Some kids depend on consistency and Tyler is defiantly one of them.

One thing I love about my Tyler is his imagination... every morning we all get nick names:
I go in his room when he wakes up and the first thing he says to me is "Hi there little kitten!" or "hi there princess". Tory got home from work the other day and Tyler said,"Hi there Monkey!"
He gives himself nick-names too, Mario, Luigi, Super reader, and lately "Little Shooter."

Logan and Camrey

These 2 little ones are 6 weeks apart. Mt sister came over to visit and I snapped a few pictures and veido's while she and her kids were here.

Ok these are really short and kind of boring, but oh well.

Can't Get Enough!

I love pictures of my kids!!!

I just can't seem to get enough of them.

They grow so fast...

One minute you are holding them for the first time in your arms...

And the next thing you know they are 2 months old...

Or three years old...

Or 5 years old, and off to kindergarten for the first time!

I love my kids!!




This little girl is growing so fast, I feel like if I blink I'll miss it!

I can't get enough of them... (most of the time!) Especially right now. It is 2:45 in the afternoon and all 3 of them are asleep and have been sleeping for over an hour now!

People say the more kids you have the less pictures you take of them, but I think in Camrey's case it might not be true. I think I take a picture for every new out fit she wears!

Pirates...

Yesterday Chase and Tyler were invited to a Pirate Birthday Party, so I looked around the house for costumes for them...

I think I did pretty good! I printed the scull picture off the computer and pinned it to their pockets.

I didn't think Tyler would let me dress him up, but as soon as he saw his big brother dressed like a pirate he wanted to be one too!

Tyler likes to pretend he is sword fighting like the boys do on Peter Pan in the beginning of the movie.

The birthday party was for a boy in our ward named Ben, he turned 5 so he is in Chase's primary class, but missed the cut off date for kindergarten this year.

It was fun to see all the kids dressed up...

And most important, Chase and Ty had fun!

The First Day of School...

On Monday, Aug. 31, 2009, Chase had his first day of kindergarten, so naturally I wanted him to look nice for school so I put his new clothes on him.

And even though it was a little cool that morning, no one sends their kid to school in jeans and a SWEATER!! Especially in the middle of Summer!

By the time he came home it was 85 degrees!

So today I made sure to put T-shirt and shorts on him.

I wasn't going to let Chase ride the bus at all because I want to shelter him from the evils of the world the best I can, but he has been looking forward to riding the bus all summer! So I have relented and decided there wasn't much harm in letting him ride the bus home since there are only kindergartners on that bus.

And being the type of mom I wanted pictures and video tape of everything, so I took both my camera's with me when we went to pick him up from his bus stop. (Which is down the road a little way and around a corner, so I packed up the other 2 kids in the car and impatiently waited 20 min at his bus stop) I didn't realize the video was so short... I meant to take a picture and instead took a video, and I cut it off real fast so I could snap a picture in front of the bus before it left!
