Amie's Birthday

I turned 23 this year on Friday the 6th of June. For my birthday me and Cam went out to eat at Teppanyaki's on the 5th and then when we got home he wanted me to open my present. He gave me a Wii and a Wii fit. I think he was just as excited if not more then me. He had me set it up that night and we played with it a little then he stayed home from work on the 6th and we played it some more. My friend Kanien came by with her daughter Marcella and she visited for a while with me. She gave me a book called Fool me Twice, also a yummy caramel cinnamon apple from C Kay Cummings. We use to get them all the time together. Man I miss having them close by. We also use to eat with them for dinner like 4 nights a week. I could go on and on about all the fun stuff we did together but lets stick with the topic. That night we went to my cousin Krystal's Wedding dinner. (Her wedding was gorgeous it was on the 7th and to see pictures you can go to my cousin Ashley's blog. Krystal and Tyler's wedding Ceremony was by far the best one I have ever been to. I had fun seeing family and hanging out with everyone through out the day.) So back to the topic. At my parents before the dinner for Krystal they gave me a luggage set that is pink and brown and another bag that matches them that I can use for a carry on. Inside the carry on bag was a loaf of Great Harvest Pumpkin Chocolate Chip bread and a book called The Host. Jon and Alison gave me some jewelry. Sunday we went to my parents and had cake and ice cream for both mine and Jon's birthday. Jon got all the candles blown out before I could even try to blow. It was just one quick puff and they were out. I don't have pictures I think that Alison got them with their camera. We have not gotten together with Cam's family yet because when we were going to go out to dinner Leisa got sick so we have rescheduled the dinner. I do know that they are giving me some shoes because they have already shown them to me and Leisa broke down before Easter and gave me one of them. My birthday was a lot of fun and with enough complaining about past years birthdays Cam got me a surprise and gave it to me before my birthday. In past years Cam has either wanted me to come with him to get something or waited and given it to me late.

Tooth

Today Camrie got her first tooth. It just popped up over night. Yesterday I had felt her gums and there was nothing. Today when I was feeding her lunch I saw something little and white. When I was done feeding her I put my hand in her mouth and felt it and it was sharp. She has been a little fussy lately but nothing way bad and she has been waking up a few times at night mostly before me and Cam go to bed. I'm hoping that the tooth was the reason and that she is not getting into her old nasty sleeping pattern. Sorry there are no pictures I was lucky enough to just see the tooth when I was feeding her and now I can't even really get my finger in there without her pushing it away.

9 months in 9 months out

My cousin Ashley did this and I thought that it was fun so I decided to do it also. It is a day late but it still works.Little did we know we had a new addition to our little family on the way.


Camrie went lots of places with us before she was born. One being her dad's graduation. Not to be mistaken this was not the end of his school. She went to Vegas, San Diego and St. George also.


At the hospital the night before she was born. My water had broke and so I was checked in to the hospital at 8pm and had her the next morning at 9:35am.



It has been so fun to watch Camrie grow and develop. I love being there as she learns and discovers new things. She has been such a joy to our life's.

Memorial Weekend

For Memorial weekend we went with my family to my uncle's cabin/ranch (if you can call it either of those) It is more like a resort. It has a pool and hot tub which were not up and running yet. Theater room, pool table and foosball table. There is a bathroom in every room and a jetted tub in every bathroom. It has heated floors through out the whole place. There are tons of trails to hike on and ride 4 wheelers on. We have the whole mountain to our selfs. There are horses but no one rides them anymore. We had fun playing games and riding 4 wheelers with the family. We had a fire one night that we roasted marshmallow's. Camrie was so good about taking naps and was so happy all the time. She went for a little ride on a 4 wheeler with Cameron. We love when we get to use Steve's cabin it is so nice and a fun place to be.

"Swimming"

We got a pool for Camrie when it got so warm, this was her first time "swimming".


You can't really see her in the video so here is a picture that I love of her in the pool

Loaner Cars

Last week we took our Volvo in to get fixed because the driver side window stopped working. There were a few other minor things wrong that were bugging us too, like the cruise control deciding to turn off randomly or the car not starting on the first few tries for no apparent reason, but we couldn't ignore the window being half way down. Anyway, while the car was in the shop, the dealership gave us a loaner car to use over Memorial weekend—a 2008 Volvo XC70 (By far the nicest car I have ever driven). While we thoroughly enjoyed the car, I think it's a jip that they loan such nice cars; it makes your own car seem like a piece of junk even when it's all fixed up and running well. I almost wish they had given us a junker car just so my own car would seem that much better after being fixed. I know they loan a nice car to make it seem like they're trying their best to satisfy their customer while they fix one of their faulty products, but really it's just a scam to entice you into a new, upgraded car. Maybe I'm just pointing out the negative, it probably should be viewed as a sweet deal, but anyway, we had fun in the car and hope some day to be able to afford a nice new one someday.

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.
