August

Camrie loves taking pictures any chance she can get. She has taken some pretty impressive ones that I will keep sometimes. Here she is taking a picture of her hand in a teeny tiny mirror.

For our anniversary Cam's parents offered to watch the kids while we did something so we took them up on the offer. We took the kids up to spend the night. This was Brooklyn's first sleepover.




For our 6 year anniversary we went and stayed at a place called Zermatt Resort in Midway. We walked around and check the place out when we got there. There were goats that were just wondering around the grounds.
This is the view from our room. There was a merry-go-round and a pond.
We did mini golf at the resort the next day and we were the only ones out there. We had a few burst of rain come so maybe that scared everyone else away. It was a lot of fun and a nice break from the kids. On our way home Cam was kind enough to stop at the outlets and let me shop for a little while with him in tow. Anyone that knows Cam, knows how much he hates shopping. He was a good sport.Brooklyn's first tooth. She woke up on the 5th at our house after staying at Nana and Papa J's and I saw it. Her first tooth at almost 12 months. Only an excited mom could see it in this picture but if you look close you can see the dark spot on the bottom front. That is the TOOTH!!! She had her first birthday with just one tooth.

Singing in the rain. Camrie just had to go out and use her princess umbrella when we had a sudden rain storm. It was this wet in a matter of seconds

The Birthday Girl.

We did a Polka Dot Party for Brooklyn's first Birthday.

These are the cakes I made for Brooklyn's Birthday. The big yellow one was going to have a bow on the top like a present but I couldn't get it to work so it was left off.

Waiting for her cake.

Camrie so bad wanted to help Brooky eat her cake. She keep sneaking dots off the side.
Unlike Camrie at her first birthday, Brooklyn LOVED getting into her cake. She had it everywhere: she needed a bath, the floor needed to be mopped, walls needed to be wiped down and some purses needed to be cleaned. We were not ready for her mess.

The day after Brooklyn's Birthday she fell and smacked her head on the corner of our end table. She had a huge bump on her head right after she hit.
Our ward had a summer party and they rented this blow up slip-n-slide. We could only get Camrie and Brooklyn to somewhat stand at the start but they wouldn't walk down it. They didn't mind standing in the freezing cold, dirty water at the end of the slide. Yuck.
