Ward Split

So our ward split last Sunday! Our ward was getting really big. When I was in the nursery we had over 20 kids almost every sunday. The primary was A LOT bigger. We love our ward and have enjoyed getting to know everyone, even though it is hard to keep up with such a fast growing ward. We were in the Lindon 16th ward and are now in the Lindon 23rd ward. We still have the same bishop though, which is cool. We might not be in this ward very much longer either though if our house hunting is successful. I feel like whenever we start getting to know people in our ward and make friends we move. Oh well, that's life. We have been so happy to be in our ward as long as we have been!

CAMERON CRAWLS!

So Cameron has been rolling around and doing the army crawl for quite a while. On July 5th however, he started to crawl. We were at church, but luckily we brought the camera and I was able to capture a little of it. Don't worry, the meeting hadn't started yet. He is just crawling around like crazy now and lifting himself up all over the place. I really have to watch him close. It is so fun to see him move around so fast and have fun getting into things. He keeps our house pretty messy!

This is the video of his 1st crawl!!!! The second one is later on in the week.

Fourth of July!

We spent the Fourth of July with my cousin Loren and his wife Jessica. We went to their new house they just bought, which is very cute! Cameron had a blast discovering a new place. Jessica's sister Megan and her husband also came. Loren grilled all sorts of meat on his new grill and it was amazing. I helped Jess pick out paint for their house as well as some other household needs. While we did this, the boys played the Wii. It was fun to get out and not have to work. We didn't get to see the fireworks because Cameron was ready for bed. We saw them in the car on our way home. I am so grateful for our country and the freedoms we enjoy. What a fun day!

Cameron loved this swing....he didn't want to get out


Hanging out in the yard!

Cameron loved the sparklers!!!

Pictures of a birthday celebration for Jake!

SOME PICTURES OF MY BOYS!!!! How fast they grow up :)


So I just wanted to create a post about my sweet husband Jake. He works so hard for our family and is the sweetest husband and father. Cameron loves his dad so much! Whenever Jake gets home Cameron kicks and waves his arms while squealing with delight. Jake's birthday was on June 12th and he is now 25! I can't believe it. He got a blackberry for his birthday which he has been wanting for a long time. It will be great to use for work and it is just awesome. I don't tell him enough how much i appreciate him, but he is wonderful. I love you!!

KELLY CLARKSON!

                     It rained for a while during the concert and then this beautiful rainbow appeared!
      After the awesome concert!


           You go Kelly
                                                                       So excited! 
                    We were stunned....that is how good it was :)

So I was a big Kelly Clarkson fan back in the day and still like her music a lot.  Her most recent CD came out recently and she is on tour.  For my birthday Jake surprised me and got me tickets to one of her concerts here in Utah.  I was so surprised :)  He was a good sport and came with me.  Jake's mom watched Cameron and we had a blast!!!  The concert was outside at the Utah Valley University.  SHE IS AMAZING LIVE!!!  Jake got us VIP seats so we were front row and center.  We also had a dinner, got her CD and a t-shirt.  Jake is always so thoughtful and sweet with his gifts.

HERE ARE SOME VIDEOS WE TOOK ON OUR DIGITAL CAMERA!!  SHE SOUNDED MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!

House Hunting!

Since January of 2008 I have been managing a storage unit complex in Lindon, Utah.  We are both ready to move on however!  It has been good while we both finished up school, and a financial blessing, but we are DONE!  Jake finished school in JUNE...YEA!  Now he is working with North Western Mutual full time.  I am ready to be able to have more time to spend with Cameron without having to work from home.  We have been looking around for a home since interest rates are so good and it's a buyer's market.  Jake's mom is a realtor and has been helping us out big time.  She is amazing!  We are trying to get a duplex or a house with a rentable basement so we can rent it out.  We found one that was a fixer upper and made an offer.  It took the bank a really long time to get back to us.  They finally got back to us with a counter offer, but we weren't under contract any more.  This worked out great because we found another duplex that we like and wasn't as much work, so we made another offer.  We are just waiting to hear back now.  It feels like forever waiting.  Here's hoping!
