Kamryn is TWO!

My sweet pea has turned two, and once again I am sad. Only because I realize how fast my baby will be gone. We have been trying to teach her to say how old she is "Two", but every time we do that she points to "Drew". I don't think she gets it.

Kamryn is two!

Family, cousins, and friend Sarah.

Make a wish!

We did her cake yesterday (Sat.) because I knew Travis would not be around on Sunday for her real day. So I dressed her up nice and cute for her big day at church.

Kamryn, you are the apple of everyone's eye. You have brought so much life, and smiles to our family. You have made our hearts stretch! How did I get so blessed to call you mine? We love you Kam Kam.

Snow Day! School Canceled!

We had been getting rain all week. Then Friday morning we woke up to this, about 6 inches of snow! It was such a fun surprise, Travis went and woke up all the kids (6:15am). It was an official "Snow Day", school got canceled! They all ran out in whatever we could piece together as a snow outfit (hoodies, material gloves, sneakers, fleece PJ bottoms, rain boots, etc.) We didn't have much to work with. The kids still had a great time. Too bad their material mittens were drenched after one snowball fight.

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

A dream come true for the kids!

Travis's 6ft snow man, even topped off with an Indiana Jones Hat.

All the neighbors playing (Brynn is riding, and Kennedy is on the sled)

We love getting a taste of this every once in awhile, this stayed for two days. Then I realize after the kids have drenched three outfits in the snow within an hour, have dripped all over the house, and are crying because their hands sting, I am ready for it to melt and get sunny again.

Basketball Time

As you can see my son was not happy to pose for this picture. Luke has just started basketball. It is sooo cute watching these little boys play. Sometimes it is like football the way they throw that ball across the court. Well, last night Luke had a game that both Travis and I had to miss because it was the adult stake conference session. When we got home that night, we went around to check on all the sleeping kids, we found this note on Luke's door:

It says: for- mom and Dad

"hey mom and Dad I got

a shot from the basketball game"

by Luke

It was so cute to see that sign, it made our night. I knew he was so proud of himself. I wished I could have seen his face when he got that basket. Way to go Luke!

A Better Day

This is my Kennedy who is always so happy. According to her everything went wrong yesterday. This morning I noticed some added notes to our family calendar on day Jan. 12(yesterday). If you can't read it it says "hate this day--Kennedy". I was totally laughing that she signed her name too it, to make sure we all knew who it was.

Here are a few things she said went wrong: I had to sit out at recess because I forgot an important paper for school. I barely got to play on the computer. Luke broke one of my pencils. Mom would not let me have a popsicle. Brynn played with my favorite toy. Dad was teasing me. I have to wait 2 days for my Daddy Daughter Date.

OH the hardships of being 8 years old. Kennedy I hope you have a better day today! I love you!

Southern CA Sunsets

We've been having some beautiful sunsets here in Yucaipa. We had to catch this one on camera and share! It makes you realize there is someone much bigger than us.
