A few things from us

I have started a business! Whoop whoop!
I make custom hair bows so check me out
and see what I do! If you like it, I won't hate it if you order ;)

Cam has been a great little model for me & asks to wear them again and again
She also likes to dress up
Sometimes I run out of ideas to keep my little ones busy 
but she seemed to love the idea I proposed of dressing up and dancing to some music
a little taste test in the middle of things
and a sweet face once or twice
such a cute little thing
twirl twirl she loves to twirl
she then wanted to take a picture WITH me and asked me to make a funny face
She then proceeded to watch me and make sure I did one as well :)
Happy Face
[I did have an old prom dress of mine on, it was a tube top so it does not show.]
and yes I did wear it with a jacket... just not today :)
She also wanted me to wear some dress up shoes with her.
She picked out my wedding shoes :) 
And I have no idea how I wore these for HOURS when we got married, even with socks, my feet were KILLING ME!!

Brighton loves cups. He is actually pretty good with them.
Although this one was empty
giddy about his cup :)
so happy when they are fed and not tired.
she likes to do a fake laugh and throws her head back while doing one
big bites for a big girl!
He started getting delirious and this is how you can tell:
going from this:
to this:
to this:
and back to this in under 2 minutes :)

Then there are the nights where they are so tired, they put them selves out of their misery :)
Dirty enough to NOT take upstairs, I love sink baths :)

And after you move, you have all those delicious boxes to play with. Or throw away.
We decided to build a house with them. Future pictures to come because OF COURSE
We will be doing some add ons :)
Camryn loves it. Although she does tend to eat the cardboard a lot :P
Anyone know how to help a child with a HUGE oral fixation?
Today, Cam was watching a cartoon while I was organizing the office downstairs, usually B is pretty good about entertaining himself and playing with some toys or walking along the couch while Cam is watching and  playing with him occasionally, but I didn't hear him and couldn't see him so I walked out,
looked up the stairs and could hear a small noise from up in the loft.
He likes to climb the stairs a ton so I went up quietly to spy on him and saw him sitting in the box house opening and closing the front door :) It was so cute!
Oh don't you wish you could fit in it???
And THIS is the front of our new house.
Lovely isn't it? :)
the left window is Cam's the middle is the loft and the right is B's room.
Oh to have their own rooms! Yes we love it!

November-February

Little bit of everything around & in between the holidays :)
Cam loves playing at the park every day
Brighton has the biggest smile & it is so infectious
Love to read their books
Camryn has learned & loves to make silly faces
Brighton thinks she is hilarious.
She got this babydoll from her cousin for Christmas & we dressed it in Brighton's clothes. 
Isn't it creepy? :)
We've already had fun scaring some people
It gets hot during naptime, even in December.
my red cheeked cuties
The heat can get to us all.. :) 
Last kids club for awhile
Ice cream before lunch. Mom is so naughty :)
He did NOT fall off the carousel.
He was buckled in of course 
& I DID put the phone down to help him out :)
But he didn't care! Look at that face!
Camryn is very good about washing her hands after going the bathroom 
& when she's finished eating

We moved into a new HOUSE Feb 3rd 2011.
Wahoo!! From 700 square feet, 2 bedrooms 1 full & 1 half bath
to:
2,096 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3 FULL baths :) plus a loft.
We're rather happy about the switch.

Enjoying some cartoons.
lunchtime while being surrounded by boxes
Camryn likes to join Brighton in the crib when they first wake up 
& while getting ready for bed
Brighton started pulling himself up and standing!
And I kid you not, the morning after we moved in
he decided he was done army crawling & is now a hands and knee crawler :)
he also likes to scale the stairs often. 
We have to be careful though, he took a tumble the whole way down the 14 stairs :(
Luckily he slid head first halfway then he more of a rolled down the rest. 
He wasn't hurt though, just scared him. Thank goodness.
Feb 11th we made sugar cookies & Cam had a blast frosting them. 
She was actually very good & put her sprinkles on nicely
Showing off her masterpiece 
The day before, we were able to make it to our old ward's playgroup & Cam LOVED it.
Had some treats, played with friends & got in some good time with her BFF Levi.
Brighton was just happy to have a sucker :)
Sunday 13th. 
Cam looked so pretty with her new pink clip from Julie & curly hair
Feb 17th was our Valentine's.
I surprised Jordan by having babysitting set up, 
Dinner at his fave- Costa Vida
The Movies- Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part 1
Had to eat it on the way to the movies though, took longer than we had time for


Went to Shnepf Farms with some good friends & Cam loved it!
Once again, got to see her BFF Levi! Such a good time for them :)
blue eyes
CHHHHHEEEEEESE!
"Peace out yo"
Riding some fabulous John Deer tricycles 
Fitting through the tire tunnels [barely]
Daddy Daughter moment
Super windy. They were saying cheese. Yes.
Cool treehouse & toys to play on
Train ride? Yes please!
Hooray! Me too!
"guh guh"
Cheeky smile
Rode on the train with her BFF Levi
Feel the wind blowing in your hair 
[softly shake head side to side]
threw some hay
ate some hay
Brighton found an empty cupboard he could fit in & then play in
Camryn thought it was great fun so she joined him
And Camryn put her letters all around her nursery picture & told me,
"Look mom! I did this for Levi!"
