Smart Cookie

Such a little smarty pants! We knew Cameron was smart when after only one day he figured out how to open the doors with child safety knobs, He talks a lot better than most two year olds' and has for quite some time, but the other day when I asked Kevin if he wanted to take Cameron out for a B.I.K.E. ride and Cam got all excited and started running to the door yelling bike bike we thought it was just a fluke. But now well, I'm not here to brag (oh wait, yes I am)Not even two and already reading? it sure seems that way. Today Cameron , my Mom and I were going to see Steve and Sages new baby Myia (beautiful) and as we exited the freeway Cameron said "Car Washhh" mom and I both look to the right and sure enough in big red letters CAR WASH. We both look back at each other as if to say "no way, did that really happen" wow he must be a Genius. Well "that's my boy", OK so I can take much credit, I cant even spell my name half the time. So either he really likes car washes or all that reading is paying of earlier than we hoped. What ever it is we'll take it he sure is great.

Our Story

Kevin and I met in a University ward up at Weber State in June of 1999, and after his relentless flirting and my loosing a bet, I finely went out with him:) he completely won me over. We continued to date that summer and he proposed on August 20Th we were then married November 24Th of the same year.

WOW! that sounds fast!

After about a year of marriage we decided to try to get pregnant and start our family, but after two years the doctors couldn't figure out why it wasn't happening. We had tried several different fertility treatments with no luck and just when we were going to try IVF (invetro) Kevin was diagnosed with cancer.We had been married for almost 3 years when he was diagnosed with a rare form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. After undergoing surgery to remove a golf ball sized tomer in his neck and being submitted to 4 months of aggressive chemotherapy he came out the other side in good shape. (OK several months later he was in good shape, he did need time grow his hair back and gain some weight)

After this trial we both realized the reasons behind our difficulties getting pregnant. We had both wanted a child so badly but we could now see the importants of faith and that Heavenly father is aware of each individual situation. Having a child during this time would have been a hundred times more difficult.

A little less than 3 years later Kevin and I welcomed the most beautiful baby boy into our home. Cameron was born October 22 of 2005 after a fairly easy pregnancy, labor and delivery I really could complain to much compared to some of the horror stories I'd heard mine was not to bad. But I have an inkling that Heavenly father just felt sorry about making me wait so long so he made it easier on me, or maybe its because ever since Cameron came out it has been a none stop roller-coaster ride and Cams the conductor.

What ever it is, my life has been blessed in more ways than I can say I have an amazing husband that loves me and makes it possible for me to be home with the cutest little almost-two-year old in the entire world. I am truly Happy !

First Time Blogger

Well I have finally entered the world of "High Tech. Journaling" and hopefully I'll be more successful at this than I was at the "no tech" version. Although I did pretty good grade school thru High school when it came to writing about the boys I liked or the arguments I got in with friends, needless to say my personal history was not much to look at, in fact if I dont start making amends now my posterity will know very little about me other than "I LOVE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK" So no promises but I'll do my best to keep this blog updated, because one day I hope my posterity can look at this and say my great great grandmother was a strong woman with a love of the gospel of Jesus Christ and an understanding of the atonement and the role it can play in our lives. Oh! and that I no longer love New Kids on the Block.
