Odds and ends

This month we (me and Camrie) went to a ton of showers. We had three that we made it to for Nicole and one for my cousin Krystal Love that is getting married on 06/07/08 (I think that is a cool date). They were a lot of fun getting together with family and visiting. At Krystal's shower it was fun to see relatives that we haven't seen for a while and to meet Tyler (her fiance). I got to see one of my cousin's babies that I have never seen and is I think almost a month older then Camrie. It was fun catching up with everyone. We also have one more shower this month for my Aunt Carol that is having a baby girl on June 14th. The shower is this Saturday so that will be fun to get together with family on my mom's side of the family.

Also this month the Fowers came up from St. George and we got to hang out with them for the night. We meet up with them at Tim's sister Hailey's house. They had some cupcakes to celebrate birthdays that they were not going to be together for. It was fun seeing Tim and Holly's little boy Davis eat his cupcake. He went to town on it. We also got hooked on playing the Wii that Hailey's family has. It was our first time and it was way fun. We lost track of time and all the kids were sleepy. Sorry once again we don't have any pictures from hanging out with the Fowers but we had a blast. Can't wait to see you guys again. We may try to come down in June and hang out with you and the Platts. Maybe we can check out the water park thing that they have down in St. George.

Also I have been trying to get a spot in our yard ready for a garden but it seems to be never ending trying to get all the crazy ivy out. We also have out of control grape vines that are all over the trees, fence and ground in that corner. Some of the grape vines on the ground are as big around as a baseball. At the rate that I'm going we may have a garden next year. I got all my pots planted and I'm thinking of making a herb pot so we can have fresh herbs whenever we want.

Projects

I have recently finished some projects that I had been working on. One was the dress that Camrie wore for Nate and Nicole's Wedding. It was my first time making little girl cloths and it was way fun. It took me about two days to make because it was so small and like a month to find flowers to put on it. Leisa was the one that finally found the flowers for her dress and her headband. The other one was this pillow that I gave Nicole at one of her showers. I thought that it was fun. I put with the card that it was a gift to help make one less miscommunication.
The next project I have been working on and off on it since I think Dec. SO I was so glad when it finally was done so I didn't have to think about it anymore. It is a Quiet Book!!! It was also fun to make and something that I remember having when I was a kid so I really wanted Camrie and the rest of our kids to have one.

Miller Motor Sportspark

Me and Cam got to work at the race way for 4 days in May. The 14, 15, 17, and 18. We didn't work the 16th because of Nate and Nicole's wedding. It was a lot of fun. This was our third time doing the LeMans race together. The worst part was having to leave my little princess all day. I have never been away from her for more then like 5 hours I think. We had an hour commute and a 10 hour work day so it was 12 hours at least that I was away from her. The best part for me was that I went around with this girl Kelsi that showed me stuff that I had never done before. We went on the grid before the big race and saw all the cars and the drivers. We went down the pit and watched them working on the cars. The funnest thing was I got to ride in a pace car. I would have liked to get a ride in this car.An Audi R8 but someone was already put in it. So this is the car that I got to ride in.At one point the driver told me that we were going 100. I forgot to ask her how fast was the fastest we went, but if you have ever seen the track 100 is still way fast. There are so many curves in the track. Any way I had a lot of fun and hope to be able to work out there with Wheeler TV next year.

Taking a nap

I thought this was so cute. LeRoy got home from school one day when I was there and he was tired and so was Camrie so he held her and they fell asleep together on the couch.

Nate and NIcole's Wedding

Nate and Nicole's wedding was a lot of fun. It was a full day with a baby, getting her ready and everything together. It was crazy but she was a trooper right on through to the end. We were getting ready to leave to take Camrie to my parents at 1:30 so they could watch her while we were at the Temple for the ceremony and Cam realized that his recommend was expired so He made a bunch of calls and then I left and took Camrie to my parents. We didn't get done in time to go to the temple together so we meet there. Then my mom brought Camrie up to the temple after for pictures. They had a dinner at The Point and it was really nice. Here are a few pictures.

Riding the Hog

My dad has a Harley that he never really rides and when he first got it back in 2000 he told my older brothers that if they went to a 3 day course they could ride it. Neither of them wanted to take the class so they have never got to ride it. LeRoy on the other hand thought that it was a small price to pay (my parents even payed for the class). So he took the class and got to take the "baby" out for a spin. It is a 2000 Fat Boy.

Wow

I can't believe that it is the end of the month already and I have only done like one post. So much has been happening this month. My parents got a car for Camrie to keep at their house after seeing how much fun she has on the one at our house. The one they got is a lot cooler. It has all kinds of buttons that she can push and it plays songs and lights up. It has a huge trunk that she can put toys in and haul around with her. She has learned how to push a button on it that makes the ball on the front light up and the stuff inside spins also music plays. We created a habit of rewarding her when she would push the button by pushing her around when it is singing. Now the whole time she is sitting on the car she is pushing the button and waiting for you to start pushing her. She will push the button and then grab a hold of the steering wheel to get ready to take off. She learned that she has to hold on because she has gotten dumped off a few times.

8 months old

Camrie turned 8 months old today and we had to take her to be weighed. She was 13 lbs 10 oz. which was a good weight gain for her. She is wearing 3-6 months cloths and I finally put her 0-3 month cloths away because I was getting sick of them. I'm hoping that when it is the summer time that she can wear 9 months stuff because that is what size most of her summer stuff is. She is still sleeping well at night even though she has started to get sick the last few days. She has a little cough and a runny nose. We have her sleeping with a humidifier and put a pillow under her mattress so that she is on a slight incline. That way she can breath better.

Here are some pictures of her eating a Gerber baby cookie while me and Cam worked in the yard today. She loved eating it and I was the mean one that had to take it away from her and clean her up. It didn't take her long to forget about the cookie and enjoy the water that I was washing her hands with.

We have conquered the World

This beautiful sleeping baby girl is the best!!!!! She is wonderful during the day and we couldn't ask for a better baby. Just this week we conquered the world!!!! She had not been doing very well at nights and it was wearing us out. So we decided that something needed to change. I talked to a few people and they had told me of books that they had read and what they did. I tried to get the books from the library and they were all checked out and on hold. So Saturday night the 19th Camrie was crying and we had feed her, changed her, and knew that she was fine. We decided that we would just shut the doors and put pillows over our heads because we couldn't figure out what to do to make her happy. I did not want her to get in the habit of sleeping in the swing like she was doing most nights because we couldn't do anything to make her happy. She cried on and off Saturday night and we still didn't get much sleep. So Sunday night I was ready for the same thing because people had told me that it took two nights to get there kids to sleep. I was shocked when I woke up Monday morning at 8:00am to her crying and it had been 12 hours!!!!!! yeah!!!! It only took her one night of crying!!!!! Ever since then she has gone about 11 to 12 hours. with the exception of one night she went 13!!!!! (I had Cam go check on her to make sure she was still alive). I hope that it stays like this (as it has only been a week). Now I can really say that we have the perfect baby day and night. I guess we better watch out for number two baby because we may not be so lucky next time.

Meeting Great Grandpa Love

Wednesday I got my dad to go up to Logan with me and Camrie so that I could give my Grandpa some of the pictures that I had taken of Camrie over a month ago. My dad has been wanting to go up there and I hadn't seen my Grandpa since like Christmas time. So I figured taken the pictures up there instead of mailing them would be a great opportunity to see him and have a visit. This was also the first time that Camrie has seen him, because when we saw him at Christmas time it was just as he was passing through and wasn't up to getting out of the car and coming in the house. I took Camrie out to the car but she was little and I think maybe even asleep. This time Great Grandpa held her and talked to her and she was smiling and being the little social girl that she is. We spent a few hours up there and got to see my cousin Colten, My uncle Allen and my aunt Marci. Great Grandpa Love lives with Dave and Marci and Colten and Allen lives up in Logan so he comes by to help also. It was fun getting to visit with everyone because we don't see them often. Great Grandpa doesn't like to travel much any more so he just hangs out in his chair at Dave and Marci's. Great Grandpa was "Lovely" as he always tells everyone "How else could a Love be".
