Cam Dancing....

This is Cam. I didn't teach her to dance on a table. I don't know where she got these moves but she cracks me up. This is dedicated to her future husband Will Jessop!!

What to do in the Winter in Cache Valley?

We have been doing the Normal Holiday stuff, Thanksgiving, family parties etc....Cam is growing up! she is a little tornado at home. Getting into EVERYTHING. and Throwing tantrums. But more than anything she makes us laugh so much. She has been copying everything we do and say! She is a little mommy to all her stuffed animals and tells them when they need to be in their highchair.

We have started doing 'Time-outs' to teach her what's wrong and right. So far she absolutely loves time out, & honestly i just laugh most of the time. The time out is the Love Sac in her room. And Last night i was trying to get her to sleep. The experts say your supposed to sit in their room while they are trying to get to sleep, and every time they get out of bed, you pick them up and put them back in bed, but don't interact with them. SO... Thats what i was trying, So i sat in the love sac, and camryn just said "mommy time out!" She's so smart. Too smart for us!

She's loved the Snow ("nose") and we took her to play in it the other day. She's getting excited to go to Papa and Jana's Cabin but until then we will play around here!

Golfing....

Today we went golfing to Fox Hollow with Ryan, Tara and their little boy will. It was actually pretty hot! like a nice 85 degrees. We played the back 9 which is good because i never play the back 9. I only lost 1 ball to the pond, and tara beat us all by not losing even 1!! haha Will loved playing too. Good times!!

Cabin, Bear Lake, Luau

Camryn and I have been in utah since July 19th. We have been having lots of fun with family and friends. When we first got back we went down to my parents cabin in Fairview Utah and went to the 24th of july Parade down there. We also went to a demolition derby which was AWESOME. Lots of mullets. Then we went to Bear lake with Clints family. Cam decided she loved the sand and water. And the other major thing we did was throw a luau shower for jenna! it was tons of fun. Erin and Veronica and I put it together, And tara helped me find way cute decorations! Here are some pics for clint to see. Cam has been a doll. she's fussy here and there, but mostly has been an angel considering how many different places we have been and how her schedule is completely off. SO here ya go....

Yes! our Family has grown by 1 small member........Its a boy!!! Boy bunny! hahaha. It's so soft and cute. but poops like its going out of style. So we want to get rid of it. Cam pushes it around for rides in the laundry basket!! and every morning when we wake up (actually every morning when Camryn and CLINT wake up) they go say Hi to the bunny. And cam says (in the sweetest little Cam Cam voice) "oh!!! Hi Bunny!!! She gets SOOO excited when it runs around our apartment. She starts running in place.


A week or so ago we went to a water park. It was fun! mainly because i LOVE being in the sunshine and needed some serious warmth. cam was a regular Diva, and wore her sunglasses, and was flirting with all the other guys in our office. Thayne and Krystal came with and their twins loved the water! Harldy any rides allowed little ones. Unlike the pools in utah. But they had fun splashing in the wave pool. Cam would laugh histerically when clint would "pretend" to get pummelled by the waves. Secretly i think he was Really getting pummelled. (sp? and is pummelled even a word? pronounced 'PUH-MOLD')

Oh and biggest reason why I had to blog. CamBam is 18 Months today. NOT last month. I am so bad with math when it comes to months....Clint told cam Happy 18 Months today, and I just pretended I had known all along that it was today. Oopsy!

18 Months Old!!!! And Long Beach

Cam and Waddles. Unseperable

18 months old. Do you know what this means??? NURSERY!!!! oh yea. now i can actually pay attention in church. Last week was the first week of sunday school sans the toddler. It was soo nice. Anyways besides the fact that I'm glad she's in nursery, She's doing so many cute things now. She makes me bust up laughing atleast 5 times a day. other kids used to do cute things, but when it's your own child for some reason it really is sooooo much cuter! She really makes me so happy!!
She's now saying:

Daddy
Da-tee (when she's impatient)
Doggy
Kucky (when she picks up something gross)
Chaco (rileys dog, she's now confused on what the dog actually says, first it was ROOF ROOF, now it's "CHACO")
Baby
Pretty!
UH-Ohhhhh
Nooooooo
pwease
karkey(she wont say mom so karley is the next best thing)
iiiiiiiiiiiiiii-00000000000-Daddyyyyyyyy! (I love daddy)

Oh and she speaks full sentences in Chinese/german. Atleast that's what it sounds like!!! she will call someone on my phone and chat forever!! she walks around holding the phone to her ear with her shoulder keeping it in place and pace around all over the house like she's on a phone call with her best friend talking about boys or something!!

She loves having her own phone, and credit card? where did this come from?? it definatley wasn't from me ;-). She also pretends to wear purses, and loves wearing her pink braves backpack around the house it looks so cute. it's so big on her and she looks like she's going to school. She loves putting on make up with me! she pulled out my makeup, a brush and started putting it on! i was so surprised that she knew the Brush was what you put the eye shadow on with, even though she was putting it on her cheeks. so cute.

How do I know she's my kid? Because she loves the pool!!! I'm so glad! she's deathly afriad of sand and the waves at the beach, but we'll work on that one.

She feeds her stuffed animals. She gives them some of her bottle, and actually burps them. The other day she fed Waddles (the penguin that has 9 lives) some fruit while we were at the beach. We have to spray at wash waddles once a week to keep him clean. You'll see she gives him a bath too.

her blonde curly hair is getting longer and she gets so many compliments from the old people in our building. It's strange for them to see such a light skin, blue eyes, blonde hair toddler. (besides the fact that trey, krew, logan, alexis and taylor are all blonde hair, light skin) our kids all look like they are related!

Some of the pics are of when we went to the Beach in New Jersey. Long Beach. It was way fun. I even swam in the ocean and had to duck dive some waves!!

Family visits!

At woodward skatepark...

Downtown Philadelphia, View from the Rocky Steps...yes we DID run up them!

My cute parents at the liberty bell

Kelson, Kaden, Camryn, Me, Jana

Arlington Cemetary, We saw the changing of the guards, it was Amazing!

Of course we find a statue with the name "Shepherd".

This last week my family came to visit us in Philadelphia, First we went to washington D.C.
We went through the White House, The Capitol tour and also saw Arlington National Cemetery. All of the places we went were so amazing to see. We were going to see some of the smithsonian museums but right about when we decided to go to the capitol tour instead of the holocaust museum there was a shooting in the Holocaust Museum. Scary!! we saw all these cops flying by us and even the police helicopter and had no idea what it was for, then once we got into the other building it was all over the tv's.

After we went to D.C. we came back to Philly. We went downtown and saw the Liberty Bell, the Department of Treasury mint, and on a "Duck Tour". It's a bus that's also a boat, so you take a tour of the city, then literally drive right into the water! it's pretty fun and they gave us quackers so we could all be really annoying to each other! Kaden wanted to go to the Woodward Skatepark so we also did that and he skated for about an hour there, it's a way cool skatepark. Oh and we also saw the Rocky Steps!! oh ya!!

We loved having them here and we already miss them. Cam Loved playing with everyone! anyways here are some pictures!
