Our bear Lake 2009 Trip was a BLAST!! A BLast of COLD weather, A Blast
of fun, and a BLAST of Memories!!
Every year we get to go to my brother in laws cabin right on the lake, and it is by
far one of my FAVORITe trips every year. We just hang out, eat, play games,
enjoy the water-except not so much in october weather, but it was fun non the less.
Alis' favorite thing is the indoor hot tub, that her and all the cousins camp out in. I love the hours of GAMES and competition. And what is better than our ENTIRE family in one place at one time!! TONS of fun.

All in ONE WEEK

I have officially arrived!!!!

At the age when your child keeps you constantly running-- . I don't sit to eat anymore out in public. I am never fully in a conversation if Cam is on the loose, my mind is watching his little steps off a curb, or in front of a car, or as last week went- drinking water from the gutter, and splashing his fingers in the mens urinal- Not good!! He finds adventure anywhere he goes, and loves making me chase after him.

I sure better get some kind of calorie burning from all the run around!!

but even as I cringe at the wet fingers in the urinal I have to be glad I have the little guy

the make me laugh!!

A new Adventure!!

I am not the type of person that wears my feelings on my sleeve-so to speak. I don't usually shed tears over to many things in life(well openly!) and yet it is 4:00 in the morning, and i can't sleep because my emotions are FINALLY getting the better side of me. Last night we got to go to dinner with some of our BEST FRIENDS the BRAMMIES as we call them!!
Going to dinner isn't the part that is bringing tears to my eyes, it is the fact that they are going to be moving to NEW YORK next week and my mind has been flooding with so many GREAT memories we have had with them over the last 6 years!!! There are MANY...........

Dave and Tyler enjoyed doing the spider on the swing!! it was hilarious!!

We got to go the New Jersey with them and spend the week at the beach .It was one of our favorite vacations ever!

Ali Loves the BRAMMIES!! She wouldn't go to anyone other than Dave or Tracie- That says a lot.

We have spent hours riding our bikes. It

has been one of our favorite things to do with these guys. Tracie endured Squaw Peak as her

very first ride, and she has been awesome

to always come be the other girl rider with me!

No matter what we do

with them, it is ALWAYS a great time!! Except when Dave sat on that Cactus Bush in St. George and couldn't sit on his butt the whole way home!! That was funny though- !!

Dave and Tracie are some of the funnest people you will ever meet. Instantly you are taken back by Daves insane amount of energy and craziness. And Tracie just takes you in as a best friend and you love both of them instantly!! Well that is how it was for us!!!

I have so many great memories from endless hours of the Marble game to paintball, biking, swimming, playing co-ed soccer, volleyball nights, tennis attempts, movies, rock climbing, inventing the first full length slip and slide. The list goes and goes. We have done so much together it is amazing. They are the type of people who will try anything with you, and always make it exciting!

Some of my favorite memories with Dave and Tracie are the simple yet always fun nights of just chillin'!! It has become a well known fact that Dave and I are the greatest "friendly banterers" ever. We can talk smack like the best of them, and I will miss that emensly- and so will Fro. Ali is the type of girl that doesn't open up easily to anyone. Dave and Tracie were the first people that she would even talk to , and she really loves the Brammies and will miss both of them tons!

Dave went with Fro to Canada this last September, and

Fro LOVED having Dave and his non-stop humor there.

Hopefully it will become a yearly tradition for these guys.

And me and Tracie will get our own girls trip!!

Our bowling league- and the Winners trophy that me and Tracie both were winners of!! Tracie is always fun to compete against- she is almost better than me at Everything!!

Bramhalls we love you guys, and are so sad to see you officially leave.

The only thing that makes me feel a little better about this

is I know you have to come back since most of Tracies family is here.

We couldn't have asked for better friends to hang out

with, to help raise Ali with, and to have the greatest memories

of this time in our lives. You guys are the best-

Thanks for all the Insane fun, laughs, and memories!

My Loves!!

Cam does so many things that I love, but

I had to capture the few things he does now

that i LOVE.....

First off is his bum- Seriously so cute.

He loves sitting in the tub until all the water is gone.

He loves Laughing. At anything-- except Lindsay

when she is taking his pictures!!

when he plays peek a boo or does something funny, he

covers his face like this. It is so funny- and he laughs!

If he sees the camera at all- this is the face he now

uses to pose for it- we call it the big Cheese!!

Love Him!!

and of course i love Ali too, she just wasn't

in any of these photos- I will post one of just my ALI!!

Enjoy it while we can

Last friday me and my sisters were debating on what we

could do with the girls before it got to cold. The zoo came up

and the park, but we hadn't been to the farm so we decided

it was time to make a visit. I got ali out of school a little early

-which made her whole day right there- and we headed

to the Thanksgiving Point farm.

It was the first time I had taken Cam when he

could actually see out of his stroller and want

to see EVERYTHING!!

he wanted to see EVERYTHING,

and see it

all CLOSE UP!!!

Really Close UP!!


He kept sticking his head in between
the bars that I was sure one of the horses
was going to nibble on him, and it almost
happened- after that he stayed back just a little.

The cousins Posing for the Camera

Ali was pretty excited also because they

had baby bunnies- so cute!!

we let the kids all ride the ponies, but then

they saw the wagon, and of course wanted a wagon

ride. They liked it alot, and it was fun to

watch the little ones get excited!!

Enjoying the weather while we can.

We walked through the farmers market,

and went and visited the candy store.

that is always one of the Thanksgiving

Point highlights.--Candy!!!

Cam was pretty tuckered out, but I

am pretty sure it was the 2 suckers in

his mouth that kept him content in the

stroller!! It was a beautiful day!!
