Sisterly Love

Luckily for my sanity, my girls love each other and are so sweet together.  Camille gets excited to see Elle every morning and is sad if she is crying.  Elle looks around for Camille when she hears her voice and is so happy when she talks to her or gives her kisses.  Fingers crossed they will stay good friends forever! :)

Pictures Part II

In tri-cities we did lots of playing outdoors, and most of the time I failed to bring my camera as I was too busy joining in on the fun.  However a few pics made it through, we had a great summer vacay! :)

2 Years Older

Another year's come and gone.  2 years ago we were privileged to have Camille Vera join our family.  Ever since then she has brought joy and laughter to our lives.  We love our Curly Sue.  

Eleanor, blessed.

Actually got a few pictures from Elle's blessing.  Camille wasn't so fortunate, I forgot to take any!

How many does it take to dress a baby?

Getting lunch ready.  We fed 50 and that was all family!

Nick gave a beautiful blessing and we had a wonderful time with all of our family together.  Thanks for making it happen, baby Elle!   :)

Picture Overload Part I

Pics from our west-side stay!

Cam loves to help with baking, as do I, my mom and grandma.  It must be in the genes! :)

Just like her daddy she loves ANY kind of dough :)

Lots of trampoline jumping

Museum of Flight

Played at the children's museum with her cousins.  It was lots of fun with water toys,

 

a tree house,

and even the front half of a semi-truck that kids could climb in and pretend to drive.

Camille loved playing with her cousins, these cute little ladies are helping great grandpa with the dishes!

Brian and I have birthdays a week and a half apart so we celebrated together.  Our cake was delicious, chocolate mousse!

Matching dresses :)

 Finally got to see Jessica and her little boy Ezra.  What a cutie he is!

So glad we got to see you...wish we lived closer!

Jess I hope you got a better pic than I did...my kids are not the most photogenic! ;)

Ezra loves to give hugs.  He's such a tiny guy, he's 7 months older than Camille.

Pike's Place Market.  One of my favorite things to do in the summer. 

There's a new pig statue!  It's just below the market.

Went to dinner in Chinatown.  I guess we don't use chopsticks much at home...Camille thought they were straws.  She's always good for a laugh.

She eventually got the gist of it

For Kyle's last few hours before he became a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, he wanted to go go-carting.  So we did, just he and I :)

Sad to say he totally kicked my trash

Right after he got set apart!

So glad Kyle got to spend some time with Camille and see Eleanor before he left.  They will change a lot in the next 2 years!

They loved playing on the trampoline together.  It didn't really get any good action shots, but I love this one anyways

The (early!!) morning he left.  We miss you Kylie!!

We played at Alkai Beach one afternoon.

Camille is def a beach baby.

Eleanor enjoyed it too!  Check out that alabaster skin!  (don't worry, we kept her out of the sun.  Just uncovered her for a picture!)

Let's just say there was sand everywhere!

Went kayaking a few times.   This time we took Camille, Logan and Jenna
