We got a puppy!!! Ok so these aren't the best pictures, but he won't hold still for the camera. He us a Golden Boxer (his mom is purebred Golden Retriever and his dad is purebred Boxer) We named him Jazper (Jazz for short) He was born on Valentine's Day and is a very fun,sweet puppy!

Camping

We had our first camping trip of the year last weekend. It was a good trip! Becca and Travis came as well as Travis' parents and sisters. It was a lot of fun for the kids because there were 3 other kids (Tina's kids) for them to play with. We went to Blue Lake which is a half hour South of Wendover. A lot of scuba divers go there because the lake (more like a pond) is 70 degrees all year. We went swimming but it wasn't as warm as I was expecting. Chase loved the lake and was dying to get in the whole time. When we first went to see the lake, I wouldn't let Chase let go of my hand because I was sure he would try to jump in. As we turned around to walk back he made a last ditch effort to do something fun by grabbing one of the scuba diver's towel with his dry clothes wrapped up in it, and tried to throw it in the water. Luckily he missed. What a stinker.

The boys were running all over the whole time. At one point, Tim asked where Chase was. I had seen him 2 seconds before so I wasn't too worried. But after a minute of him not reappearing around the side of the trailer, I started to worry. Becca found him and Wyatt (Travis' nephew) half way to the lake. The lake was a little 3 minute walk down a boardwalk with shallow water on either side of the boardwalk the whole way. The actual lake drops off to about 8 feet immediately. I guess they were going to fill up their squirt guns and Wyatt's mom had told him he couldn't go until someone went with him. (She clarified that an adult needed to go with him later :) ) I don't want to think about what could have happened if we waited five more minutes to look for him.

So it was a fun trip, a long drive but fun. Now if only it would stop snowing so we could go again.

The boys had fun running all over.

All tuckered out

The boys had a ton of fun riding their bikes all over.

Kamron's first camping trip. He seemed to have a lot of fun.

Chase just follows Matt all over

The reason for the trip. Fishing!

The big catch. A talapia

Of course Chase had to touch it

Kamron's 4 month

Kamron turned 4 months the other day. Here are his stats.

Height 24.5 inches 75%

Weight 13.9 lbs. 35%

Head 10%

Not bad considering Chase was always in the 5th % for Height and 10% for Weight. His head was always 95% or higher too.

Kamron has a ready smile for anyone that looks his way! He is getting so big I can't believe it. Here is a picture I took of him the other day in an outfit my friend Stacey sent him. Sooo Cute!!!

I bought a bow for a friend that had a baby girl and couldn't resist putting it on Kamron to see how he would look as a girl since I'm apparently never going to get the chance to put a bow in my own little girl's hair. I thought he was pretty cute. Tim wasn't too happy about it though.

Happy Birthday Tim!!!

Happy Birthday Tim!!!

Tim turned 28 years old yesterday. Poor guy, kinda had a bad birthday. He took his scouts camping for the klondike derby in the snow. He also has a bad cold so the campout didn't help too much. So we rented a few movies and got some Chinese takeout. We had a fun night hanging out as a family though.

Here are some pictures of Tim, doing the things he loves!

I Love You Tim!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Chase

Chase turned two years old today! I can't believe where the time has gone! We started off the day with French toast for breakfast. You can tell he is my child because he had a little bit and then said he wanted cereal instead. (Tim is constantly asking what he should make me for breakfast, and I usually respond that I just want cereal). Later we headed to Kents to pick up his Wall-E birthday cake and some balloons. He was so excited to walk around the store carrying those balloons, and once he saw the cake, he wouldn't stop saying Wall-E cake. He says it so cute! Then it was down for a nap so mom could wrap his presents. After Matt came home from school, we headed to Chuck E Cheese. Chase spent most of the time there running from one game to the next. Not actually wanting to play them, just look at them. Note to self: If you ever plan a trip to Chuck E Cheese again, make sure you go before 5. We got there at 4:30 and it wasn't too bad, but by the time we left at 6, it was mad crazy!

Next we went home to open presents and eat Wall-E cake. The cake was the highlight for Chase. He spent most of the day asking for it. Another note to self: when looking for a Disney figurine for a birthday present, rather than spend $15 for it on Amazon, just order a cake from the bakery. The cake came with the exact same figurine that I could only find on Amazon and cost $15. Cost of cake $17.99.

It was a fun day! Chase scored by getting a Cars book with a lot of buttons that make cool noises. A Wall-E dish set (plate, bowl, cup) A miniature Walmart shopping cart, a dinosaur shirt, and a new potty chair!

Happy Birthday Chase! We love you so much and can't imagine life without you!

Chase loves shoes and is constantly running around in any that he can find.

Chase has started having a VERY strong opinion about what he wears. He wore this tie all day long. From the time he got dressed in the morning until he got his jammies on that night he never took it off. He also quite often insists on wearing pajamas over his clothes. What a cutie!

Kamron is 3 months

I finally got a picture of Kamron smiling!!! He is 3 months old already! I can't believe it. He is smiling a ton now. I haven't gotten him to giggle yet though. He is awake a lot more now and sleeps best when he is in his bear coat all snuggled up. He is such a snuggler. He always wants to be touching someone. He is very precious and we love him tons!

The cute little bear coat that Grandma & Grandpa Bell gave him for Christmas.

Oh the Horror

I decided to get my hair highlighted, So my sister Debbie said she would watch my kids while I had it done. We expected it to take about two hours. My appointment was at 10 on Monday morning. At 1:30 the gal finally finished. I was worried that Kamron was starving and screaming plus watching 5 kids under the age of 5 (Debbie's three and my two) is never easy. So I just ran out of there and didn't even really look at it till I got back to the house. When I walked in the door my dad and sister busted up laughing. Never a good sign. It was horrible, not at all what I wanted and had huge chunks of really blond next to big chunks of really dark. So I sat and tried to figure out what to do for a couple of hours. Finally I decided that I was too embarrassed to go out in public and had to do something that night! So Debbie agreed to weave my hair again (She had watched a YouTube video on how to do it and had done it on two of her girls and my sister Becca. She did a good job on them and anything was better than what I had, so we went to Sally's and got brown dye and a toner. So I spent all night getting my hair re-done. After the weave it looked a ton better and then we put a toner in it to soften the brassy blond look. That helped a ton too. I'm still undecided on how it looks. Everyone has told me they like it so that is making me feel a little better, but I still might change it a little more. Here are some pictures of all the fun!

This picture was taken about a month ago, so it shows what it looked like before

This is the picture I brought to the salon to show what I wanted

After I got home from the salon

After Debbie did her magic!
