January Birthdays


Happy Birthday Cam and Elsie!!!

Here's a photo tribute to CAM:
Three months.

Two weeks.

Three months.

Four months.

One Year.

Two years.

Three years.
Four years.

These are some of the photos we used for Cam's Preschool Birthday poster". He got to be Class Captain for the day in preschool, and he had to talk in front of the whole class about his poster, and he did SUCH a great job. I had no idea he could pull off the public speaking like that!
January is a major birthday month. 40% of our immediate family has their birthday in January... and I bet that at least 40% of our extended family too. Lucky Cam got to blow out four sets of candles this year when we celebrated with my mom, my dad and sister, our family, and his friends. Elsie only got to do two, thankfully, since it was so scary when she'd get so close to the candles. Blogging has seemed so overwhelming lately as I wrap up last year's taxes, have some birthday parties, work, and pack up this house so it will be ready for the big home show next week. Were moving out for the week of the home show (Feb 13-22) so that our realtors can hold an open house for 10 days! Keep saying those prayers! This baby's going to sell!

Here's some quick photos for the month of January:
Above are Cam's and Elsie's first birthday party when my mom came to town to visit around January 14th. My mom got Elsie a cheerleading outfit, and my dad got her a butterfly princess dress up with Dora sunglasses. I feel like she can finally express herself. Cam's second birthday party... my sister did that magical number 5 on there. Wow. Tasty! Cam's birthday was on a Sunday, so we couldn't get to too crazy on the actual day. We did go visit some petroglyphs, though. So great to have my sister Sonna (and Sloan and Ruthie) come visit us for a few days! She's heading back to New Zealand next month, so we're glad to have her when we can. Cam's third birthday party on Sunday night. For Cam's friend party, we ripped it up at Jumpin Jacks, the indoor bouncy house funland. We took Cam's three best friends and had a great time. I only love this photo because of the air Cam is getting. Cam has the nicest and cutest little friends. He had a great birthday this year and we are SO thrilled that he's five.

what a fun family. Seriously, you guys rule. Jumpin jacks looks a lot like monkey joes (where we went for Charlie's b-day).

We sure miss you guys!

I love all your cute pictures of your darling kids - but my favorite has to be the one of Elsie in her butterfly outfit and sunglasses. That is a classic photo. I need photos like that of my girls and then I want to blow them up and put them in their rooms. I just love the outfits and attitudes little girls come up with (okay sometimes I don't like the attitudes). :) Also, good luck with your house - I hope it sells!!
