April showers bring May flowers!

The weather has been so beautiful lately.  I was getting sick of the cold and rain, but it was well worth the wait.  Here are some pictures from April and May.  Enjoy!!

     Cameron loves to read/chew his books!
             Steph's hat looks good on Cameron
           Cameron is trying to get Jake's fries...smart boy!
                He liked my sunglasses, so i put them on him!
                         SO COOL!
Steph came and stayed with us for a while at the end of April into May.  It was so much fun to have her with us. Cameron loves her!!

 The boys hanging out....Cameron chewing on something, like always!
             Cameron's favorite thing....THE REMOTE
                             He gets in some funny positions :)
                                   Classic Cameron Face!

We don't really have much to report in our lives.  Jake is still busy trying to finish up school (graduates in June...YEA!) and I am still managing the storage unit complex.  :(   Cameron is our biggest joy and the most exciting part of our lives (we are boring right now).  Being in the house by the storage units keeps me in the house because i work all day.  I can't wait till we move and I can do more stuff outside and have friends.  Cameron makes us laugh so much.  He is getting his first tooth and is doing great with this milestone.  It seems to bother him a little but he is really tough.  I am not ready for him to crawl yet (our house is not baby proofed at all) but he is already getting up into the crawl position.  Who knows!?  I thought I would just post some random pictures.

Time Flies When You're Having Fun!!

We just got Cameron's first professional pictures done.  I think they turned out pretty good.  What a handsome little boy.  He has the best ears and such cool blue eyes.  He is just like his daddy!
  Out little model
This one showcases his AMAZING cheeks
                  Cameron looking at mom
Jake got to hold him in this one
  Sports theme of course!
                      Cameron has a smile that can light up a room!

I can't believe that Cameron is 27 weeks old as of yesterday!  He is a week away from being 7 months old.  That just blows my mind. Time sure has flown by.... it seems like just yesterday we brought him home from the hospital.  We recently went for a check up at the doctor and he still is growing.  He just gets bigger and bigger each day.  Here are his stats: Head Circumference (18 in -- 92%tile).  Weight (20.11 lb -- 87%tile).  Length (28.5 in -- 96%tile).   He has been rolling been rolling around for a while now.  He can also sit up all by himself now.  He is so strong!!   I am just amazed at him everyday all the new things he does.  It is the best!  

Having my first mother's day actually being a mom was wonderful.  Cameron is so amazing and brings so much joy to my life.  Being a mom is the most amazing thing in the world.  Jake made it a special day for me.  He gave me some beautiful tulips and took care of Cameron while I slept in.  It was a great day!

Happy Easter!

What a great season Easter is!  It is a great time to remember our Savior Jesus Christ.  General Conference was such an inspiration and motivator for me.   All the talks seemed made just for  
me.  I am sure everyone feels that way, which shows how inspired the apostles are.  I loved Elder Holland's talk on the Savior especially.  It gave me some new insight into the atonement of our Savior.  He described the Savior's solitary journey to overcome sin and death and testified of the resulting blessings to all mankind.  At the end of his talk to asked for us not to leave the Savior alone like he was on the cross.  He is here for all of us... all we have to do is to come unto Him.  The talk gave me an even greater appreciation for the atonement and what a miraculous thing it is.  

For Easter we went over to our Grandparents and had dinner together and did a little egg hunt.  We also fasted that Sunday.  I haven't done so for so long because of the pregnancy and then the breastfeeding.   I felt really sick and was wondering why, and then it hit me...I hadn't fasted for a long time and it was taking a toll on me.  Anyway, it was such a great Easter Sunday and the family was excited to see Cameron as usually.

St. George Trip

                                                                     At Kolob Canyons




So went on a road trip to St. George recently for a weekend.  It was so fun to get away from the storage units for a while.  Jake's foster sister Minta was getting her endowments out and we decided to go down and make a fun weekend out of it.  We had so fun and it was beautiful WARM weather.  I don't like being cold.  I think I have really bad circulation, because I get cold really easily.  We went to the pool, went bowling, and just relaxed.  It was nice not to have to worry about anything and just chill.  I really needed it and Cameron did really well.  He loves riding in the car.  He was an amazing road tripper.   We also stopped by Kolob Canyons on our way home!

Our Little Baseball Player

So it has been quite a while since I have updated our blog.  I decided it is was time for a mega update!!!  Good thing our lives aren't that interesting.

We celebrated my birthday which was March 8th.  It was a great birthday thanks to friends, family, and of course my wonderful husband Jake.   I got a sweet Mac computer which I absolutely love and Jake got me Kelly Clarkson tickets.  She is definately the best american idol in my opinion with Carrie Underwood as a close second.  I didn't like her last album as much, but I know I will love the concert.  Anyway I am 23 years old now and it is my unstoppable year (Michael Jordan's number of course) so I expect great things this year!!!

Cameron is growing like a weed and at his four month check-up was in the 90th percentile for weight and the 98th for height.  He is our little football player.  I love him so much and it is so fun to watch him grow and develop each day.  He is now rolling and sitting up pretty good by himself.  He is such a special boy!  I feel blessed to have the privilege to be his mom.  I didn't think I would ever love someone so fast and powerfully, but I loved Cameron from the second I saw him!  Being a parent is the most amazing and rewarding job in the world.  He gets so excited when Dad comes home and can't stop cooing.  It is cute to see him recognize his parents more and more.

Father and Son!




Cameron sure loves his dad! Whenever Jake gets home he gets so excited. He is looking more and more like his dad as well. What a cute team.


Happy Go Lucky!

Cameron has been laughing for a while now and I've been trying to get a video of it. I finally was able to grab the camera fast enough. He laughs at the most random times and I love it. This time I had moved his changing pad and he thought it was hilarious. I would turn him with it and he laughed again. I sound silly on the video because I always make weird sounds when I am talking to him. He is such a happy and sweet baby.
