New Song!

At my baby shower on Saturday, my good friend Brooke asked me if I had ever heard this song. I hadn't but of course when I went home I had to download it and put it on the blog and on my ipod. It's the first song on my playlist, and needless to say I love it! Thanks Brooke!

Spring Break in Utah!

Camri and Papa Steve, reading books.

Here are some cute pictures of Camri playing with her Papa Steve under what they call the "Tickle Tree". I don't know where he thinks this stuff up, but Camri loves it. They go and play under the trees and have a ton of fun together.

Camri and Gramma Carolyn. This girl is a lemonade fanatic.




One night, my Mom took us out to dinner at Timpanyaki, a really awesome japanese steakhouse where they cook all your food in front of you. Camri loved the fire! Everywhere we took her after that she asked for "The Fire!" We had to explain to her that Red Robin didn't have the fire.... She was so disappointed. But to our suprise, this girl can seriously work with a pair of chopsticks! Those aren't kiddies sticks, they were mine, and since I couldn't use them she figured she would. We were all amazed, thats how she ate her whole dinner.




Pretty much the whole reason for this trip to Utah was for us to go with my Mom throught the temple to take out her endowments. It was such an amazing experience to escort her through for the first time. I don't think life gets any better than this...




Camri was in a terrible mood for pictures, though. I guess thats what I get for doing it when she hadn't had a nap all day. The Camri Scowl is just about the only look we got from her during picture time. Good thing she's so cute.




Camri and Gramma Carolyn smooching.





I must say, I think this is my favorite picture from that day.

Gramma Carolyn took us to Boondocks one of the days we were with her, here is Camri riding the pony. As you can see, she loved it.





Here we are playing "Rollerball", which is like a mini version of bowling for the kiddies. Camri loved that the balls were little enough for her to throw. And even though she would throw the ball and then try to run down the lane after it- she still thought it was a blast.








This was her reaction to watching her ball go down the gutter at the end of the lane. I don't think she got the idea of the game...




She actually got a few good throws in...




Camri even seemed to enjoy a game of "big girl" bowling. She kept trying to pick up Steve's 14 lb ball, but she managed really well with her own little 6lb ball. In fact, I think she bowled a better game than Mommy.

Here is Camri with her Brayden. She keeps talking about "Super Brayden", and telling me she wants to go see him tomorrow. Camri went to Jungle Jims with my aunt Liz and her darling
son Brayden while we went through the temple with my Mom. As you can see, they had a ton of fun together!

Hello Utah, Here We Come!

Here is the face all our lovely family in Utah will be seeing tomorrow! While I am not terribly excited to be traveling, by myself with Camri, 31 weeks pregnant, I can't help but be excited to see everyone. I know Camri is completely beside herself with excitement to see her family. She misses them all so much and has been talking non stop about seeing everyone. So, so long to our VA friends, we hope you all have a great spring break!! And to our family... See you soon!!

Capriel in 3D!!


As some of you know, I had a bit of a scare last week when I went in to my doctors appointment. According to my doctors measurements my uterus hadn't grown. At all. In two weeks... and that might not have been a big deal but since I was already measuring about three weeks small she was worried and sent me in for an ultrasound. I had been freaking out just a little given the fact that I am leaving for Utah for two weeks on Monday morning, and didn't know if my baby was growing. This morning I had my ultrasound and the doctor said she looks GREAT! Measuring two days ahead of my due date, and weighing in at a whopping 3 lbs 14 oz! ( That is 60th percentile!) It was so much fun to see her in 3 and 4D. I got to watch her yawn, then suck her thumb and then play with her toes. It might have been more enjoyable if Camri hadn't been yelling at the ultrasound technician to "Stop it!!" I think she was worried that she was hurting me. I had to keep reassuring her that it tickled and that she was looking at her baby sister on the television. Camri was skeptical, and completely uninterested until I let her sit by me on the bed and she could see that I was ok. Then she called her a "cutie pie" and insisted we were done looking at baby Capri. I can tell I will be in for it when this baby gets here. But I wanted to share this picture of our baby girl! Doesn't she have the cutest cheeks? I love them and can't wait to squeeze them myself. It's so fun to see who it is that's been beating me up all night. We are all so excited to meet her!
