First day of school for Camrie

Camrie's first day of Headstart (pre-school). She was so excited!

Our amazing kids!!!

Cam has become such a great little person. Her personality and energy are infectious. She loves everyone, but must have it her way (we are working on that). She loves to help and is one tough cookie.

If there is an audience it must be time to perform. And someone new is always the best!!

We are so grateful to have such a spunky, strong willed daughter of our Heavenly Father (okay, so most days we are grateful! ;o)



Notice the space in his smile! I will upload a new image soon with two spaces!!

Cayden is turning into a great young man. He loves building things and creating new "inventions". He is very inquisitive and reads everything he sees and is doing really, really well.

He completed a few art camps this summer and loved it. He is ready to take on the second grade and is very excited to have Tim from down the street in his class.

Cam's waterslide birthday party

Thank you Caroll for letting us borrow the waterslide. The kids LOVED it! If you go to my sister, Karee's, blogspot you can see other cool pix of the kids going down the slide.

Cam was dead set on a waterslide birthday party. I even suggested a tea party, but she would have nothing to do with it. So, a waterslide party it was.












Cam received all kinds of great things: books, music, dress up jewelry, but the hit was the Hannah Montana wig. Our Cam has become a singing, dancing blonde sensation!

Aunt Karee created the cake (under Cam's direction, of course)! Thanks Karee it took a huge stress off knowing you were handling all the requests from the creative four year old! The green flowers were the perfect touch!

Cayden's TV Debut!

Cayden was chosen to say the pledge of allegiance at school this last spring. Mr. Clark and his 4th grade class read the announcements each morning on KRED (broadcast throughout Cayden's school). He did a great job and enjoyed watching everyone that morning.

Train Park Spring 2008

We got to go to the train park close by on opening day in April. We had a ball. This is a new "train" of sorts that runs on a full size rail. Cayden was thrilled he got to sit up front.









Cam was having fun too!!

More Hawaii!

I really liked this plant and think I took a decent picture!














We loved the black sand beach on Maui. I have a lot more pictures that I will upload another day. I know everyone really wants to see the kids!

Hawaii April 2008

Shawn & I had the opportunity to go to Maui and Oahu for 10 days. Yes, that is correct no kids for 10 days. I missed them, but loved the break and time just with Shawn. We had so much fun and slept in whenever possible (which was hard since we were one Pacific Time). It was amazing & we had a ball. This is a picture of the sunset our first night there. I still think back to how relaxing it was.






This is fire ginger. It is gorgeous and we found it on the road to Hana.

BEAUTIFUL!!! Yes, that is the ocean in the background.












One of many amazing waterfalls on the road to Hana. More pix to come!
