little tattler

E might be my littlest stink.  She is the most chatty kid ever- but speaks not a word.

She loves to get up in the cupboard anytime it is left open.

this time she managed to spill the cereal box-  and then came to find me- told on herself 

in pure gibberish and 

rushed back to catch a quick snack.  

spring is in bloom

spring is in the air.  truly in the air with all the pollen.  

but the nice warm air also means that the kids are excited to be out and about. 

I love the warm weather.  happy to have it here!  

This is the only picture I took of our week with grandma pam.

she was a life saver-  and came to take care of the kids while troy and i went to his work conference in Arizona.

yes 5 whole days without kids.  it was amazing.  

like all good nerds troy loved everything he learned in his conference-

and i loved the spa services.  We got hot rock massages, a pedicure, 

hung at the pool, went for hike with my dear friend aryn, out to dinner

with our med school friend oner, we ate out, went to the mesa temple, 

and i read, read read.  i love to read.  i read 4 books while we were there.

it was heaven!  and best of all i got to spend time with my cute hubby- without 

any conversations interrupted.  i forgot what that was!

Thank you grandma pam.  we love you.  

(and the kids had a great time doing whatever they did without us!)

just because she is cute

just because she is so excited and adorable when out playing.  she loves to be outside. 

standing at the door crying when she can't go out loves to be out.

love her

Camiron couldn't wait for 5 year pictures.  

I love this little beauty.  

3 kids... none the same

people ask all the time if emory looks like camiron as a baby.  here is cam at just over a year.  They are the same and totally different all at the same time.  

1 year shots

trying to take pictures of your own kids is hard.  Especially when they are in their own house and on the move.  this is the best I could do with this little monkey.  She was not going to stick around long for any pictures- or smile for me.   I love them anyway.  and her tell tell mohawk.  

the end of the season

Really the season ended back in february- i'm a bit late no this!  

Phew, it was al one season. Braden loved it.  Camiron- i wouldn't say love is what she 

felt for basketball.  It is a tough sport for a 4 year old against 6 year olds that were almost all boys. 

But she made it through and they did love being on a team together. 

the party and trophies are always the best part.  Thanks again to coach crystal to putting  up with my kiddies.  

tommy, ruben, justin, ryan, julie, braden, camiron, austin.  

a little yummy party

cams cute friend sierra had her birthday just after camiron at this cute ice cream shop.  I couldn't resist putting this pic up of the two of them b/c really they are so cute together.  They go to preschool together and gymnastics.
