My Baby turns 1

Born March 8, 2010

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE!!!!




My sweet baby boy turned 1. What a joy he is in our lives. Happy Birthday Dawson!
We had a little party with the family, here at the house. He got lot's of love and attention.

LOVE at Home...

So Valentine's has become a family affair in our home. We gave the kids pillow pets, which they were so excited about! I made Steak, Crab Legs and Grilled shrimp, with twice baked potatoes and grilled asparagus. Then we had a dance in the family room teaching the kids all our best dance moves. I tried to teach them the shag, which I learned growing up in S.C. The kids had a blast. Then we topped it off with fondu and sparkling cider. I have to say it turned out to be really FUN and there was plenty of Love to go around!

Junior Jazz B-Balll Baby!

Another season of Junior Jazz has begun. Chris is coaching these cute Traverse Mountain boys again. They are such a fun team to watch. This year it seems that the kidos are really beginning to figure the game out. Here's to a winning season! ;)

One of the things you gotta love about Traverse Mountain/Eagle Summit is our Annual Bowling night. Chris and I are still trying to get the trophy, although we haven't taken it yet, maybe next year! We are on our way, last year I won worst bowler :( What a fun night. Thanks to miss Katie Erwin for all the planning of it.

The Real Santa! .... AND Reindeer... "COOL"

We take the kids every year to see the Cabella's Santa. We think he is the "Real Deal". The kids love him and he is so sweet to them. It is great too, because they take picture with him for free. We like to tell the kids he drops the reindeer off at Thanksgiving point (which they do have live reindeer there) and then comes here to see them. They look forward to this weekend all of Christmas. We hope this will be a fun and memorable tradition for them.








Here are the kids with cousin McKay at Thanksgiving Point meeting Santa's reindeer and watching a "COOL" ice sculpturing. Aren't the holidays great? We are so lucky to have this right here and so close. I am so grateful my children have cousins and grandparents living so close. We like to take every opportunity we can to see them, and make these memories more special.

It is Back to School

WOW! it is already time to go back to school. We had a good summer, but it has come to an end. Check out these two cuties. Camden just turned 7 and is ready for 1st grade. His teacher this year will be Mrs.Cavin. Kiara starts 3rd grade and her teacher will be Mrs.Mangum, she will be turning 9 in about 10 days. The kids will be starting at a new school. It was recently built here in Traverse Mountain, so they can walk or ride their bikes. The kids are very excited. On the first day I walked them half way to the little trail that leaves our neighborhood and goes to the school across the street. I cannot believe we are gearing up for another year of school. They are growing so fast!

Camden is Seven!

So for Camden's 7th Birthday, he asked to go bowling. We took him and his friends to the Lehi - Jack and Jill bowling alley. The boys got to bowl, eat pizza have cake and ice cream and do a game of Laser Tag. Camden loved it! The boys really had a good time and were just a little competitive. I am sure as the years go on this will only get worse! But what a fun day! Happy Birthday my "Buddy Guy" we love you so much!


The Birthday Boy! I can't believe he is 7. Where has all the time gone? Next thing I know I will be sending him off on a mission.

Thank You Grandma Burnham!!! She is always there to give me an extra hand. You would think with all the boys I would have needed it, but they were so good we (my Mom and I) just got some sodas and watched the cute kids bowl and have fun. I have to say this was a very smooth and fun party!!!
