Camryn's 2nd 1st birthday!

Camryn at 3 weeks old.....

1 Year old!

After our trip to Washington we threw Camryn her second 1st birthday party with Matt's side of the family! The second attempt at the giant "cupcake" cake turned out way worse than the first...but it tasted great, once again! She had so much fun seeing all her cousins and little friends. We've just loved this last year watching her grow up into such a happy, busy little girl! She really makes everyday so much brighter and more fun, and we love her SO much!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAMRYN!

Some funny pictures

This girl makes me laugh every day! We were at Grandma Pat's the other day and she has all of the toys in these little plastic tubs. Of course, Camryn has no interest in the actual toys, but the tubs make a great toy! She took out all the toys and climbed right in! Matt and Parker pushed her around until she rolled backwards and got hurt.

Look at this cute face! She was having the time of her life eating raspberries. More like smashing and smearing raspberries.

Oops :) She found her new favorite toy...she always goes right to that cupboard. I guess I should move those.

Washington

This is my first attempt at her "cupcake" birthday cake...anyone think it looks more like a mushroom?! But it tasted sooo good!

The giant tomato that came out of my brothers garden!

Camryn had SO much fun playing with her cousins all week! She was always entertained, and it was so fun to watch her get to know them all better.

Camping at Porcupine Bay

Camryn's first tubing ride! She loved it, she was waving at everyone the whole time!

Matt and I planned to go camping with my family at one of my favorite camping places growing up called Porcupine Bay the beginning of August. Well...we forgot to check with his business partner on the dates, and his partner scheduled a trip for his whole family to the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas! So the camping trip got the boot. Camryn and I still flew up and went, but the bees were so bad that everyone (including me) was ready to come home the night after we got there! Almost everyone got stung at least once. We spent another fun filled week up in Tri-Cities with my family, and we were there over Camryn's 1st birthday, so she got two parties! I got to go on a couple of bike rides with my mom and sister, running, swimming, ate lots of good food (of course!) and spent lots of QT with the fam. Thanks everyone for a great week!

One Year Pics...right on time!

Yesterday was Camryn's first birthday, she's one already!?!?! How does it go by so fast? I just kept thinking all day yesterday, "at this time we were going into the hospital" "at this time I was in labor" "at this time she was born" and now she laughs and runs around and eats real food. It's just crazy! Every time I tell someone she's one the first thing they say is "oh, it's time for another one!" Hmmm.....
Well, once again my amazing photographer SIL Tiffany took the cutest pictures of Camryn a few days ago! She has such a good eye for places to take pictures...she see's an old building that I would never look twice at and see's a good opportunity for amazing pics. Enjoy! I'll post her actual birthday pictures later...I don't have them with me :)

9 Month Pictures...a little late!

Oh how I love this little girl! She makes me laugh just looking at these pictures! I couldn't narrow them down any more- there were just too many favorites- so enjoy all of them! Camryn is so full of life and has such a FUN personality! Thank you to Pat for taking these adorable pictures...we love them!

Would you all stop blogging so I can update?!

Every single time I get on here to update my blog I end up reading everyone else's, and by the time I'm done I can't look at the computer any longer...or I'm out of time! So, if everyone would just stop like me for 2 months, I could actually update and not have to catch up on everyone else's! Just kidding...I just need to stop being such a slacker! So, in no particular order, here's our last 2 months....+

+

= our 3rd anniversary! We celebrated with a fun filled day at Lagoon, a par 3 golf course, (yes, I golfed 9 holes!) and then Melting Pot for dinner/dessert! What a fabulous day...and Matt was in charge! I just want to say THANK YOU to my sweet husband for a such a great day, and even more importantly, for a great last 3 years. We truly have a wonderful marriage and I feel so blessed to have Matt as my husband. He is such a hard worker and an AMAZING daddy to our little angel! I can't wait for the next 3 years...I love you babe!

And a BIG thank you to Amy for watching Camryn :)

My first mother's day!

I ran the Salt Lake 1/2 marathon!

Camryn is officially walking now! She took her first few steps at 9 1/2 months but it's taken a little while for her to get stable. She just cruises around on her little feet, it almost looks like she's too young to be walking, but she's doing great! She's even busier than normal...if you can imagine that!

For the 4th of July we had a little neighborhood bbq and then watched fireworks at Davis in Kaysville with Danny & Delana and Scott & Maureen! Maureen made the best dessert ever...homeade ice cream and mississippi mud...delish! We thought the fireworks would scare Camryn but she watched for a minute and then seemed to get bored and was looking the next form of entertainment :)

Just a few cute pics!

I just wanted to post a few pictures of Camryn lately...she's at such a fun stage right now and is constantly moving! She just has so much to get done...grab that piece of paper, put it in the mouth, open the book, throw the ball, crawl over to the chair, stand up, slide everything off the table, crawl to the tv, open the entertainment center, take out all the dvd's, eat all the magazines, you get the idea. She's so curious about everything, especially how it tastes! What a sweet but independent little soul we have! We love this girl!

This is what I wake up to on a good morning when she got enough sleep!

Just playin' with her favorite toy from Grandma!

Push up position!
Herkie!
Toe touch
She's just strong!

She's getting so close to walking!

Run. Drive. Sleep? Repeat!!

186.8 miles. I know...why would anyone want to run all night long, not sleep (much), get sick and keep running again in the morning? Because it's FUN!! At least some people think so. Like Team Ragnolians!

Last weekend all my sister-in-laws and cousins from Utah and sister and friends from Washington and Oregon headed to the beach to run a 186.8 mile relay race with the other sister-in-laws from Cali! Here's the proof:
