The Zoo

Katie, little sleepy monkey
Breanne and Aunt Heidi at the giraffes
the new penguin exhibit
the gorillas were really neat because they had a little guy running around. He was jumping from limb to limb, swinging on everything, it was just like a little kid! So cute.
the last stop we hit was "the family farm". It was a petting zoo with mostly goats. It was funny because earlier in the day Breanne and Austin were both asking to see pigs. We kept telling them that pigs weren't at the zoo. Well, we were wrong.

Daddy's little helpers. Don't they look helpful?

Memorial Day fun

We had so much fun this weekend at the lake property. As a family we went down on Saturday and got to spend time with my sister and her husband, my mom and Jerry, Susie and my two cute nieces! Unfortunately I forgot the camera so you'll have to wait until my mom decides to off load her camera. The three girls got to play together and had a blast. They were so exhausted after three days together.

Cameron invented the "naked s'more" and I invite EVERYONE to try it. Roast the marshmallow, but instead of putting it on a graham cracker you shove a piece of chocolate in the middle of the roasted marshmallow. Let it melt a bit and then shove the whole thing in your mouth. No mess and you have tons more room for yummy goodness because you're not eating the graham cracker!

I haven't posted one of these in a while. Very comforting in confusing times, I think.

Getting closer!

Cameron took his instrument check ride today and he passed! He is now officially instrument rated and is now building time until he reaches 230 hours (he has 170+), then he'll start working on his commercial rating so he can get paid to fly people around. Trust me, even though it's confusing it's very exciting.
Kaitlyn is getting so big! I can't believe all the stuff she can do. She gets into EVERYTHING! Today she knocked my fingernail polish over on the carpet. I swear she's so stealthy. I didn't even see her get by me! It's such a difference from Breanne who we didn't even have to baby proof the house for. Katie crawls, gets to sitting position from crawling, is trying to stand while leaning on toys, LOVES Breanne's toys or anything that she's playing with and she jabbers a ton. It just seems like it hit all of a sudden. I finally put her in the bath tub with Bre because she was all but falling out of the infant tub trying to look at what Bre was doing.They really are cute together. Breanne is such an awesome big sister.
Here are some other random pictures that I have taken over the last couple weeks.
Breanne sleeps just like her daddy!
The puppy Breanne got me for my birthday. We named him Rascoe.

I can't read

So we were reading scriptures tonight as a family and I was explaining to Breanne that "Daddy and I are going to read and when you get bigger and can read you'll read with us too. For right now though you're just going to listen". She said okay, but when Cameron and I stopped to discuss something Breanne gets up, sadly, and walks towards the bookshelf to put her scriptures away. I asked her what she was doing and she looks at me with those big puppy dog eyes and says, "I can't read". She crawled back in Cameron's lap and started whimpering. It was cute and sad all at the same time.

Breanne Turns 3!


Just a couple days old.1 month

1 year18 months
2 years2 1/2 years3 years!
Her birthday was the 1st but I didn't want to post it until after all her parties! She got to go to Red Robins and have everyone sing her a birthday song and get an ice cream sundae. Later that night we were able to have Cameron's family come over for a small get together. On Sunday we went down to Puyallup for a party with my family. It is sufficient to say she was spoiled rotten with all the presents she received :) She enjoyed being a princess all weekend long.
