My Little Boy is All Grown Up!!

OK, so the pics are all out of order, but you get the gist... Jace started Pre-K today! We were all up early and so excited! He could not wait!! I can't get over the fact that my boy is turning into a big kid! He is in heaven!!! I am excited and sad over the new bit of freedom I have! Now I need to figure out what to do while he's gone! We had to come a bit early to turn in some papers, so since we had time to spare, we headed over to the Preschool play ground.

Then we went to his classroom. #3. He is in Ms. Newell's class. She is very nice and was excited to have Jace in her class! THey have a back to school night coming up next week where we can meet other parents and see what they will be working on in class. I had a hard time leaving him, but he was so thrilled, he didn't even wave goodbye!

Here he is with his park friend, Alexander (left) and his church friend, Wyatt (right). What a coincidence to have two friends he loves to play with there!!

Here is Jace before we left to take him to school. The whole time he was saying, " Come on Mom, let's just go already!!" He's not ready to get to school, is he?!!

Trying to get Campbell to cooperate. She just couldn't hold still! So this was the best shot I could get. Next year, maybe!

Dad and Jace showing off their school attire! Jace thought it was pretty neat that they both get to go to school now! They had to show off their back packs too!

Today was such a fun day! I can't wait to hear how Jace's day went! Updates to come soon!

Brokeback Kneeboarding at the Flaming Gorge

Ok, I'm repeating what my SIL already put on her blog, but it was a title we all came up with together and I couldn't pass it up! So, here are Cam and Bry at Flaming Gorge, Utah:Alright, so they were back to their old selves, doing stunts and stuff. I couldn't get the other pics to download correctly or you could see their stupid grins!! SO, Cameron pretty much stood on Bryant's shoulders... pretty nutty! But we had a fun week and loved watching everyone try the wakeboards and kneeboards!!
Here are all the boys doing, well, nothing actually!! But they cooked just about every meal and helped out a ton! What a bunch of studs!

What a fun ride we had! Michelle, Gretchen, and Me on the raft behind the boat. We had a wild ride, were sure we were gonna get flipped off the thing, and had sore bums and legs afterward! We had so much fun being out in the middle of the lake with no responsbilities. When it was time to go in, we (I) tried to unhook the raft and we ended up getting flipped out! Lucky for Gretchen, she was in the middle and was able to stay in the raft!! We had such a fun time with Cameron's family!

Campbell is 1!!!

Sorry for the big light spot on Camper's forehead, couldn't photoshop it off without messing up her cute face!

Anyway, I cannot believe my baby is a one year old! This past year has been a whirlwind of fun times! I have just really enjoyed my kids this past year and love them both so much! We had a fun little party at the park and Campbell got a bunch of fun, neat presents for her birthday!
Some of my favorite memories of the past year are:
Jace just loving to sit with Camp and hug and kiss her... I loved watching the two of them together and still do
Campbell sitting up at 4 months, crawling at 6 months, and walking at 10.5/11 months.
Going to the park, splash parks, and pools with our family.
Watching out the window for Dad to get home. My kids love to watch for Cameron!
Sneaking a peek on my kiddies as they play in their room together. Jace is so careful of Campbell and she simply adores Jace! They really play well together!
Hearing Campbell's first words, Dad, Jace, Hi, Mmm!!! Mama
Watching her giggle in delight and clap her hands when she accomplishes something great: walking, finding a candy in my purse, getting the bottle she's been waiting for.

This summer, and past year, has been a fun one! Wish I had more pictures to show... When we can get the pics from the last couple trips, I'll try to get them posted up!

It's late

Very late, 12:42 am to be exact... Cam is up late playing computer nerd games with the brothas so I've been surfing the net into the wee hours... we have meant to update but accidentally packed the camera, from our last family vacation, into someone else's luggage... we are still waiting for it to get sent back to us.  I hate posting an update with no proof of our adventures.  UGH!!  But, we have fun news!!

Campbell is officially walking, as of Thursday the 31st of July, 2008!  OK, she's been getting around alright for quite a long time but never took the initiative to do it unassisted until about 2 weeks ago.  but she loves it and gets a kick out of herself.  We have some videos, but they are too big to upload or something so you all have to wait till the camera gets sent!!

Jace will be starting school in a few weeks!  I cannot believe my little boy is all grown up!  it's just Pre-K but still!  He's so pumped about it!  We went and got all his school supplies and have gone by the school at least once a week for the last 3 weeks... yeah, he's excited!

Anyway, our summer is going great!  We've had trips to the park, splash parks, BBQ's Pirate's Cove, the Temple, summer reading programs... we are enjoying life and our time together.  Cam has 2 more weeks off so we're making the most of our short break!  Pics to come as soon as possible!  Or Maybe I'll convince Cameron we need a nicer, newer camera!!..... g'nite!
