New Job

Isn't it nice when things just work out! Lance has been looking for a long, like year and half Long time, for a new job. We have been super blessed that he was able to still have a job while he looked, making being picky about what he wanted to do a little easier. It has been a long hard road for Lance and he is super relived and very excited to have a new job! It is always nice to be needed too. He interviewed for the job last Thursday at 4:00 and they called him by 5:30 and offered him the job! They were just as excited to bring him on board as he was to get on board! And they wanted him to start just 4 days after being hired. So happy first day on the job Lance! All the hard work applying and keeping your eyes out for a job has finally paid off! We are so proud of you and know you will rock the new job! Good luck! Oh and we spent the weekend celebrating. We went out for an Italian pizza and gelato dinner on Friday night with Brenda and Luke, sorry no pictures of that one. Saturday we played at Boondocks, which Ryland loved! We played this roller ball game and he thought that was amazing. He took the game very seriously!

Lance and Ry, I am not sure if Ryland or Lance was loving it more! They had a great time together.

He was pretty good too. Check out his skills. This is him getting a spare on the last frame!

Ry and Cam

Lance and I

Lance and Ry playing basketball skeeball. Ryland loved picking a game to play and Lance letting him do whatever he wanted. It was a fun night.

And Cam was good to run around with us in his stroller. If he would just walk he wouldn't have to be in a stroller all the time, but alas, he still only walks sometimes. He will get there though, and is already doing better. He wanted to celebrate Lances new job by getting in a lot of teeth at one time. Check it out, 2 more on the bottom and one on the top. He got a mouth full of teeth in just a week or so. Crazy!

We are so happy for the new job Lance and know you will do great there. Good work! We love you!

Birthday Celebrations

Wow, what a crazy fun week we had with Camden for his 1st birthday. First off because I always like to go back and see what Ryland looked like at this age, I will give you a comparison of Ryland at his one year birthday party vs Camden. Here is Ryland...

And here is Camden.

Definitely have their own looks, but are two of the cutest boys I know! We took Cam in for his one year check up yesterday. He weighs a big 23.1 pounds which puts him in the 65th percentile and is 32.5 inches tall, yes my friends, he is in the 110% for height. Not even on the chart!! He is super tall and a healthy happy baby! Yeah!! His birthday was on the 8th of February and we celebrated on his actual birthday with a few gifts from us. Ryland love helping him open up his presents.

Camden loves the new toy we got him, as long as Ryland will actually let him play with it. It is a rough road to share when you are almost 3, but we are working on it. They had fun trying to play together with it.

Here is Camden with all his goods. We also opened the adorable outfit on the left from Auntie Rie Rie on his birthday. And yes, he is screaming at me, I assume to say please no more pictures!

We also took him to get his free banana split at DQ. I won't tell you if I had more of it to eat than he did, but it was super delicious! He loved it!

The next day, I let him help me do the dishes and play in the dishwasher forever. He is obsessed, I mean really obsessed with the dishwasher right now. It is great for me because if I ever need to get something done in the kitchen like cooking, cleaning, anything like that, I just open it up and wah-la, I can magically get anything done while he plays there happy as can be! His face pretty much tells you just how cool the dishwasher is!

On Friday, Lance hooked me up with exactly what I wanted for Valentines Day. Instead of flowers, I asked for this goodness...

And let me tell you we have enjoyed every second of this yummy treat! Way better than flowers! Thanks Lance! We also went out to Farmington Bay. We have heard that February is a good month to look for eagles out there. We decided to see if we could find anything. It was a beautiful afternoon and we had a blast out there. Ryland was in HEAVEN throwing rocks into the water. Seriously what more could a kid ask for?

Camden and Lance. Cam was so interested in the water I couldn't even get him to look at the picture!

It was so pretty, my camera doesn't do it justice, but you get the idea from here. There was a ton of seagulls flying over the bay.

Awesome!

And then guess what? We saw an eagle, just chillin on a tree. It was huge. Guess what else, my camera battery died right before we saw the eagle. Awesome huh? Oh well, it was cool and we will just have to go back there and see if we can see another one! It was a great way to spend the afternoon. Then we met up with Lances Mom, Tom, and Gilda for dinner. On Saturday we scheduled to do his party with all our family. My sister in law Maria helped me put this awesome cake together. Ya, she is amazing!

She had a great idea to make a mini version for Camden's own cake to destroy. It turned out great. Thanks Maria!

Ry and Cam getting ready for the party. A rare moment when they actually seem to kind of like each other for like 2 minutes! :)

And here we are at the party!!

We did it at the church in the gym, it worked out great. The kids were able to run free and there was tons of space. And here is little Cam with his birthday cake while we were singing happy birthday!


Opening presents.

Lance got him that awesome huge orange balloon!!! And here is the turn out of people. He was spoiled!! Thanks everyone!

And then it was time for the cake. He kept looking at me as if to say "is this okay?" "You want me to just go for this??!!"

He finally got going with the frosting and decided it tasted pretty good.

He licked the frosting off his fingers for a long time.

It didn't take long for him to start really shoveling it in! He was loving it!

Cam with Kellilyn and Bubby

Cam with Bryce and Kameron, and the awesome football they gave him!

Camden with Grandma and Grandpa

And yes, Camden this is most likely what you will look like in 50 years! Just like your daddy and Pappy!

Brenda and Lola and Cam and I

All ready for bed in his new jamies Grandma Jo got him.

It was a great party, and we had a blast celebrating his first year. What a great kid Camden is. We love him so much!! Happy birthday to my little one year old!

Happy Birthday Camden

Happy Birthday to my little Camden! I can't believe he is one!

What a great yaer it has been! We have been celebrating all week long. We went to the Zoo last Saturday with my sister. Unfortunately it was super beyond all Windy! I don't know what is up with this winter but we have had more wind than ever! So we endured the wind for a couple of hours and then we were done.
Ryland and McKaylee loved looking at the gorillas.

They are strange looking animals if you ask me! LOL!

Poor Cam had to be bundled up in the stroller most of the time to try and stay warm. But he was still all smiles!

Checking out the giraffes!

And our freezing family picture before we left! It was super cold!

We decided to hit up the pie and get warm with some pizza! Yummy!

Ry and Kaylee had fun eating their pizza and rockin' out to the music!

It was fun. We have enjoyed balloons and eating favorite foods with him this week. More pictures to come from our other celebrations later! For now, happy birthday my little baby! We love you and can't imagine life without you and your sweet little personality!
