Kamree's gymnastics meet!

Kamree competed for the first time on the trampoline and tumbling! She was super nervous on the tramp, but did great on her backhandsprings!! We love to watch her shine!! and her bottom looks so cute in the outfits (hehe)My two girls!! How lucky am I!!

Grandma was so nice to drive all the way up to Brigham City to support me! What an awesome grandma i have!!

Kelsey on her way to her halloween party and Kamree trick-or-treating at her first house of the night( just happened to be where Kelsey was going)! Happy Halloween!! Fun times! can't believe we are onto November already! Soon we will be adding one more to the picture. Thinking about the name Kennedy Ryann. what do you think??

Trick or Treat!

Halloween fun at Grandma's house! Trenton and Me were detectives, Kelsey (mascarade ball girl), and Kamree as a flapper! Fun party - thanks grams!Kelsey and Kamree working the camera - they are sure fun to take pictures of (which is probably why i can't get caught up on scrapbooking). Well Kelsey looked cute like always, and Kamree was playing to part of a flapper from the minute that she put on the outfit- choppin on her gum, ordering ice tea. funny girls!

Family Fun!!

Kamree - our little gymnast! We are so proud of all the accomplishments Kamree has made the past few months. She is so dedicated and keeps trying whatever it is she is working on until she is pleased with the results. She is nervous for her upcoming meet on October 24th. She is worried that she won't get a high score :( - she just glows though everytime she gets a new "trick" down!

The family at Cornbelly's corn maze - always lots of fuN!

My two beautiful and amazing girls. I am not sure what i would do without them. Each time they laugh or smile - it reminds me what is important in life!

Lake Powell - September 2009

Our trip to Lake Powell with Kerrian and Grandpa Larry! The girls and Trent had tonz of fun and i had fun watching them have fun! Dr. said not to go, but i am really glad that we decided too! Thanks Kerrian!!!

Kamree tried over and over to catch a fish, and she finally got one!! GO Kamree!!

1st day of school!!!

Kelseys 1st day of high school. Not sure who was more nervous - me or her!Kamree's first day of kindergarten. She was so excited, and thought she was so BIG!! She didn't even want me to walk her to the door (of course i did though)... Miss Independent.

I think we added a little too much bubble bath! hehe. sure was fun though!

Kelsey's 14th birthday party with her friends. Floating on the Daybreak Lake. They had a blast!! and Kamree of course wanting to be big like her big sis!

April Fools!

So you have heard the stories, now here are the pictures! Kamree was playing cute little April Fools jokes on me all day! (mom how many fruit snacks did i eat, then she would say 4 - JUST KIDDING MOM - i ate 5!! she thought it was so dang funny!!) So we decided to play some pranks! Prank #1 (me, kelsey and kamree) all waiting for Trent to come home and get in the shower, then we took all the towels, rugs, etc. out of the bathroom (keep in mind all of his clothes are downstairs!) he opened the door and saw the camera's pointed at him and shut the door (he had a little hand towell that he had dried off with and wrapped around him (somewhat at least - hehe). So he rummaged through my closet and found these (mine)sweat pants - i had to guilt him into letting me take a picture! Prank #2 - we put a rubber band around the sprayer on the faucet. I told Trent that Cuddles was out of water (which i had emptied). He flipped on the water and the picture says the rest - Happy April Fools!! (well ok, so i got a hold of the sprayer and helped a bit) Kamree was having a blast!
Prank #3-

Kamree and I put salt and Kelsey's and Trent tooth brushes - SO FUNNNY!! Kelsey was refusing to brush her teeth - LOL! Kamree was rolling!
Prank #4 -

Kamree got locked into a bed pocket (or whatever you call it). The sheet was folded up and tucked in so she couldn't straighten out her legs!! She had a fun night, - which is what it is all about! (kelsey's on the other hand spent an hour trying to figure out something to get me back - LOL) i'd better watch out next year!!

YUMMMMY!

Disneyland - part 2

Me, Kamree and Mickey!! Kamree and Kelsey - i love Kelsey's faces she pulls, and i love how Kamree tries to imitate them!
My beautiful girls - our last day at Disneyland!

You can't really see Kamree's face paint - but it was sure cute!

Disneyland - March 09

So here we are at Disneyland (again this year). We had season passes and wanted to use them one last time before they expired! We had lots of fun! Kamree wanted to ride the "big" rides this time around, so we spent most of our time riding Space Mountain, Matterhorn, Thunder Mountain Railroad (or whatever its called) (that was her favorite), Splash Mountain (not Kamree's favorite, but it is Kelsey's) - and so on!! It was a lot of fun! We just rode the rides that we knew we liked and didn't worry about hitting them all.. we just enjoyed being together! This is the girls at Goofy's kitchen! Goofy took a drink (pretended) of Kamree's drink - then we ask Kamree if she wanted a drink - see next picture!!She was like EWWWWWW!! funny!
This was the worst part of the entire trip, and i will never forget it! I have lost the girls for a few seconds here and there at the mall or store but never anything like this!!! We were at the Disneyland parade (a new parade, only 3 days old, they discontinued the Princess parade - way sad) Anyways, the characters were doing a konga line and asked for all the kids to join in. Well we kind of joked with some people standing next to us and said "i hope they bring them back" - well long story short - THEY DIDN'T!!! they took the kids around the float that was in front of us and i tried to watch her as well as i could, but then they took all the kids around the next float and we couldn't see her at all! Then i saw all the kids coming back and relaxed a bit, until i realized Kamree was nowhere to be seen!! I started freaking out and they kept telling me to stay on the side lines! I finally said, NO!! this is my daughter and you can shut the entire parade down for all i care - i was running from side to side showing people pictures of Kamree, while Trent went the other direction. She was gone for apprx 5 minutes. Then out of no where a lady showed up with Kamree. I was in hysterics!! Poor Kelsey was just watching me, she was crying too! I don't know exactly what happened, or why it would take someone 5 minutes to let someone know that a child was lost, but she was safe!! It took me a bit to get it together and Kamree was so confused - she said she was scared cause she couldn't find us, but couldn't really explain much else. I always knew that i would lose it if something happened to one of my kids, and i did!! Poor Kamree was under lock and key the rest of the trip.

Kamree had lots of fun trading pins with Disneyland workers and little girls her age! So cute!

Kelsey is growing up!!

He Loves her!! (how could he not!)

This picture is right after Justin (kelsey's boyfriend) told her that he loved her!! WOW!! Trent was a good sport and gave Kelsey a hard time for not saying anything back to him after he told her that he loved her (she just said - oh! well my parents are coming down so i'd better go) (LOL!!), he made her feel very bad and she told us to leave so she could call him back! teenage love! (she told him that she loved him too)- as far as i can tell it is very innocent, or i wouldn't be as excited as i am for her! I love that she tells me all of these things!! (i hope it doesn't stop!). it is a lot to take in though, first kisses, first i love you's! But the look on her face makes it ALL worth it!! We love you Kels! Wow - very different side huh! this is my little vampire!! maybe i should send this picture to Justin (hehe). Actually this is her being a vampire cause Trent and I stole her phone, and Trent has run into the room and locked it pretending to call or test Justin. Kelsey didn't think we were very funny, but we sure did!

Punta Mita, Mexico!! Feb 2009

Trent and i golfing (well ok, just Trent) on one of Jack Nicholas courses. Trent loved it, and i like riding. This is the 3rd hole, very neat - high tide actually covers up the path to get to it! The hotel was beautiful! Trent's company always takes very good care of us, you can see the infinity pool and the beach behind us! Our hotel was very secluded from everything, just the way i like it!!

This iguana was watching us play tennis. It is one of Trents and my favorite things to do on vacation (without the kids) - we get up and go to breakfast, then go play tennis, then head down to the beach to read for a few hours! I told Trent next time we go on vacation i will need some anti-axiety pills when we get home. I think i relax so much on vacation, that my body literally goes into shock and can't deal when we get home! (poor me i know!) thanks to everyone for all your help with the girls!!!

Happy birthday honey!! (trent)

Happy Birthday to my hubby! Trent is kissing his king size crab!! pucker up! thanks mom for letting us use your house to make a huge mess! I couldn't ask for anything more - yummy food and my family!!!

Skiing!!! our 1st time!

We had lots of fun learning to ski! this is our first season going (terrible i know), and after getting past the fear of running into someone or a tree its pretty fun! It was only my 2nd time going (since i was like 7) and Kelsey's and Kamree's first time skiing!! Trent had his hands full! Good thing Grandpa Larry decided to come with us (thanks grandpa)!!!! The girls did great, and i didn't run into anything! Kelsey being the drama girl we all love her for of course had a small episode and they had snowmobiles coming up to get her, but she decided to ski down!

Happy Valentines Day!

We have been wanting to go to Tea Time at Protea Cottage, so for Valentines me, the girls and Grandma all went! lots of fun, lots of food and great company! After we were done eating all the yummy food, Kamree had to try on almost all of the outfits they had.

Bath time! We got to babysit cute Brooklyn. They had fun eating popsiscles in the bath tub!

Happy 5th birthday to our favorite 5 year old! Kamree

Happy birthday Kamree!! This is Kamree and her friend Macyn at build a bear (on Kamree's birthday), they are making a wish with the bear's heart before they put it inside their very special bears! they are wishing hard! On the way to the mall, my tire came off of the escalade, the girls got out of the car and colored rocks until Trent and Grandma came to rescue us!I was hoping they wouldn't all tumble out!!! fun times at bouncin off the walls!

Present time!! Her favorite part!

Kelsey - being the great big sister and aunt that she always is!
