Utah trip

I didn't take many pictures while in Utah, surprise surprise.  We had a day to get ready and then it was Gregory and Courtney's wedding!  Everything went wonderfully and the wedding was beautiful.  Then we had about a week to play with both sets of my grandparents, and a few days with Kyle and Gregory. 

Here's a few at the wedding luncheon.




Most of the rest of these I stole from the photographer, the wonderfully talented Christina!






We had a little family Eagle Court of Honor for Greg and Kyle since they never got one back in the day when they earned their awards.  It was a fun family event


Playing at the Wilson's.  Logan is in the box, this made for great fun



I'm sure eventually the bathtub pics of these cuties will have to stop, but expect a few more before then!  They love bathtime together.


We thought this would be a great alternative to a bath if you're in a time pinch.  Just put your baby in a laundry basket, throw them in the sink and run the faucet for a minute or two.  Shake the basket a few times to get any extra water out and you're good to go!


Awful pic but it's the best one I could get of the girls and their grandma.  Sorry for Camille's outfit, I know it looks like she dressed herself but unfortunately I am to blame, or rather my failure to do laundry.

Pasco trip

Next we headed to tri-cities for Christmas with Nick's family.  We had lots of yummy food, family time and games which made for a great trip!

Camille loved licking whipped cream from her first beater



My parents drove through on their way to UT and between Nick and I we got all of their dental cleanings and fillings done!


Went to a nursing home to see Molly and her tap group perform


Camille and Aunt Molly


Her cousins were so excited to take her on a walk


We played the nativity on Christmas Eve.  Cam helped Emily with the music



4 sweet angels


Want a hug from the littlest angel?


Cam was not too thrilled to be away from mom, and she was either crying....


or trying to hold "baby Jesus" aka baby Preslee


Christmas morning!


Thank you all for such fun gifts!  We were definitely spoiled!

Seattle trip

I have been a horrible mom lately and haven't been documenting our life with photos.  Now that I'm feeling better I hope I can remember to take pictures more so I don't miss out!  This is pretty much all I took of the week we spent in seattle.

A trip to the zoo with Camille and my mom


Somehow we managed to go right when it was nap time for ALL of the animals!





I love this pic.  My dad sharing jello with Camille.


Up next, our tri-cities trip

Eh

Evenings are the worst time for time wasting for me.  I don't have the motivation or energy to do anything productive.  Instead of going to bed like I should I just surf the web mindlessly for waaay too long until I am overtired and kick myself for doing it once again.  I just need someone to give me a bedtime sometimes!

I Resolve....again

As you may or may not know,

It's a new year once again!!

As far as resolutions go, I say blah! I did ok last year, but I need to work on pretty much all the same ones.  So I'll make it easy on myself and just re-use my resolutions.  That's probably missing the point, but I think as long as I improve a little more each year it's a success! :)

15 Months

I can't believe my baby is 15 1/2 months old!!  We finally made it home and to a doctor's appointment, so here's Camille's stats:

Weight:  20 lbs, 4.5 oz, 10th percentile
Height:  31 inches, 70th percentile

Without fail either the nurse, doctor, or both always call Camille "little peanut" while we are there because she's long and skinny.  Things are looking good, she's growing and developing the way she should!


2nd Annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Party!

Keeping with tradition, the Ricks hosted a 2nd Annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Party.  Last year's party was fun, but I think this was even better with uglier sweaters and more participants! 

Nick and Dallen in their matching "too-small women's Christmas sweatshirts"


Camille mid-bite.  The food was delicious!!


None of my candid party shots turned out even remotely flattering, so I'll spare you all and just post the formal ones so you can steal them for your own blogs if you wish. 

The Ricks













Tom waited until the end to make a grand entrance with his ugly sweater.  Actually it's a cute sweater when worn by his wife.  Thanks for the laugh, Tom!


Christin all cozy with her white elephant gift.  Doesn't she resemble Princess Leia minus the side buns?


Thanks everyone for such a fun party!  Looking forward to next year's! :)
