One Year Older!

Cameron turned 7 on the 6th of April. Luckily Alise was here visiting and took pictures of the fun day. Finally pictures to share!!

This present has been looking Cameron straight in the face for 10 days before he FINALLY got to open it! And was it the longest 10 days of not only Cameron's life but my life also! He was bugging and bugging and begging and begging to open it every day from the time he woke up till the time he got home from school and in to bed. It came in the mail from G & G Lee and Cameron had asked them when they were visiting that he wanted a transformer for his b-day and he JUST KNEW that was what they got him! SURPRISE!!! A TRANSFORMER-of course he loved it!
I love to see all of the kids looking while the presents were being opened. So exciting for everyone! This was a real surprise for Cameron. He didn't ask for a Gameboy, but LOVES to play games. They don't sell these anymore, but at the game stores you can buy used ones for a good price and in pretty good condition. This one looked almost brand new. The games are a lot cheaper also since they are used too. He can buy games and try them for a week and if he doesn't like it, he can return it for another one! G & G McGary gave him $$ so he can go pick out his own games.
And the last gift from us. Cameron was in desperate (and I mean desperate) need of a new bike. The one he was riding was a 12" and looked pretty ridiculous riding it around the neighborhood. So I had originally bought a 20" bike without training wheels. A little too big for him, so I took it back and got this one, an 18" with training wheels. We will work on that this summer and hopefully he will be off the training wheels by the end. He loves to ride it and it's the perfect size!An important item on Cameron's list for his friends' b-day party was a pinata. And they sell them so cheap at the party store. I got this dinosaur pinata for $8. I was expecting them to be a lot more. Don't you love Melanie's new lipstick? (Thanks G & G Lee!)
All ready for the party to start. Cameron had a lot of fun.

It's so much fun to see what your family is up to since you have kids the same ages to my own. Birthdays always seem to be the highlight of their year at this age. I love it!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
