Brandon And Vanessa

During my visit in Utah I got to meet the sweet little gal that will soon be my sister! We are so excited to have her in the family! They are getting married September 4, 2009 in the Salt Lake Temple. I had to get some pictures of the darling couple, and I wanted some pics of them with Camri.We had so much fun hanging out with them and miss them terribly already. Love you guys! ( I want to see the wedding invitation as soon as they are printed!!)

Fun in Utah!

This is the face I came home to. I have never seen my dear husband with a beard. I hope never to again. I made him shave it. Friends don't let friends look like this. Ha, ha... Just kidding babe. But seriously, never again.

Me and Cam with the Clawson Clan.

Is Grammy Sonja the cutest, or what?!

Feeding the horses in Grandma Carolyn's back field. The kids loved it and the horses were beautiful.

Micky and Camri playing together

Micky is my awesome friend from high school. We had a ton of fun just hanging out.

Camri loved the waterfall in Grandma Sonja's yard.

All of the Clawson Grandkids together for a picture. Are they cute or what?!

Here is Cam with Brandon ( my baby brother) and his fiance, Vanessa.

No swimsuit needed....

Camri playing in the fountains at Gateway Mall. She loved it.




She also loved playing in my Aunt Liz's bathroom sink. It's a cool sink, but she used it more like a kiddie pool.





Notice she likes the water? Ya, she's obsessed. She couldn't even wait to put on a swimsuit to play in the sprinklers at my mom's house.

Camri with her Great-Grandma Donna.

Camri loved spending time playing with her Papa Steve.

I know all parents think their child is the cutest, but look at this face!

Happy Fourth of July

My mom was awesome and kept Camri for me so I could run. They were both waiting for me at the finish line. I was so glad she was there, but I sure missed Steve.

All the girls in our family ran the 5k. Here I am with my sister Jana after finishing the run.

Mommy and Camri after the race. I came in 12th out of 291 girls running! Not bad for a first timer!!

Great Grandma Donna make the best chocolate cake, just ask Camri!

Papa Gary with his girls

Here is Camri holding her sweet cousin, Sophie.
She loved Sophie, she just wanted to hold her and steal her binki all day.

Camri decided she loved her corn on the cob so much that she would eat mine with me.







We had a great holiday out here in Utah! I ran my first 5K and made pretty good time, ( for me, that is...) 23:41. There were some hills and my only goal at that point was beating the 75 year old man who ran beside me most of the race. Talk about motivation. We then went and saw family in Plain City and Farr West for lunch at my Grammy's house, then had dinner with Mom and Dad Clawson. We had an awesome day, but we are sure missing Daddy! Hope everone had a safe, fun day!

Hello From Utah! Pics of Camri, 19 Months

Our little princess. She is 100% girl.

Here are some pics that my talented, wonderful, beautiful sister in law took of Camri. She is now ninteen months old. I just can't belive how fast the time has gone. She is just the most beautiful, sweet, energetic little girl and we are so thankful to have her in our family. We are having an awesome time out here in Utah with all of our family, but we sure miss all of our good friends in Virginia too. We love you all and will see you soon.

Weekend Fun...

This is Camri stretching her legs after being in the car and then the stroller all afternoon. She loved the stairs in front of this old building downtown. She just kept going up... then down them about a hundred times. I wish I had some of this girls energy.

Enjoying a sweet treat for being so good all afternoon! I know she hates being in the stroller but the sidewalks were almost as crazy busy as the road was.

We had a really fun weekend! Camri and I went to a really cute birthday party for a darling little girl who lives a couple houses down. The pictures with her in the yellow dress were taken just before we went to the party. Then on Saturday we decided to go to Carytown and check out some of the local shops. We went to a chocolate store that had THE BEST chocolate I have ever had! We ate chocolate and walked up and down Cary St. It was fun to explore downtown Richmond.

Happiness for a Dollar!

Camri has been stealing the neighbors sidewalk chalk for a week, so I thought we'd go get some of her own. This girl loves her sidewalk chalk. She has been happily playing with it for days now. ( and still trying to steal the neighbors chalk.... ) I didn't know how cheap it was though! We got some at Walgreens for a buck. Who knew you could buy happiness so cheap?
