8th

At the end of March Cameron turned eight years old. He chose to have a small get together with good friends and then a trip to MyFroYo (a local serve yourself frozen yogurt store.)

He also chose to be baptized.

Cameron is an exceptional young man. He is conscientious and thoughtful.

April 9th, 2011

We are so proud of Cameron. Over the last several months he has worked hard to overcomes some struggles with anxiety. As a family we prayed for him and supported him. He has learned that determination and the love and support of those around you goes a long way.

After months of taking him into school and seeing him literally sick at the thought of being there without me, one day we pulled into the parking lot and he said, "I'm just not nervous anymore, you don't have to walk me in today."

Sweet words, believe me.

Cameron, you can do anything.

A gig a weekend

About a month ago Kenley came home from school thrilled, excited and energetic. She had just tried something new and was in love with it. "Please can I bring it home," she said. "I love it and want to bring it home." (Begging, pleading and such.) I thought she had enough on her plate and said, "NO". (A BIG NO). A few days later I was at school and her music teacher said all the right things and she ended up bringing it home. "Ok, you can bring it home, but you're only going to play with it when everything else is done: your homework, piano practice, room tidy," etc... I was concerned that this thing would be too noisy, I mean they are noisy. Luckily, this thing didn't come with the necessary equipment to make it noisy. Until the last day of school before Christmas break when she called me, "Mom, can you come and pick me up I've got a heavy thing," she said. "How big and heavy is it?" I said. I picked her up.

AN AMPLIFIER!!

We now have a bass player in the family.

The boys think Kenley's "Rock Guitar" is pretty cool.

I don't know many girl bass players and I suppose she can play at weddings

and funerals on the weekends to put herself through college.

Christmas Vacation

Happy New Year everyone.

This year we surprised the kids with a ski/water park vacation. The condo we stayed in was right at the base of a gondola which took you up to some amazing skiing and tubing hills. Also, a few steps from the condo was an indoor water park. It was the perfect getaway, something for everyone.

Personally, I preferred the 85 degrees in the water park than the 18 degree tubing hill.

Britton in the perfect little kiddie pool.

Emma LOVED the water slide.

We played in the snow during the day and in the water park in the evenings.



The tubing hill was so long. There was a moving sidewalk to bring you back up.

Christmas 2010.
We had so much fun together.
It was perfect.

Walking for a cause

Turkey Trot- Thanksgiving Day 2010
We abandoned all fashion sense and went for warmth over style at this years Turkey Trot, a community event to raise money for a local organization. We braved the temperatures in the mid-teens and walked. I'm still baffled by the old guy with nothing on but a hat and a skimpy pair of shorts. (Sorry no picture) What was he thinking?

Wedding Day

It was such an honor to host Heather (Brent's sister) and Marvell's wedding at our home last month.

Everything was beautiful.

Cousin Madelyn and Emma.

I think that these pictures are ADORABLE!
