Camille has learned to ride her trike using the pedals. Now that we have a long driveway, she can practice more. She loves it.

These pictures are from the middle of November, but I just had to post them. Camille and Hadleigh had a blast playing "Mario Kart." Camille would ride her trike, and Mike would push Hadleigh around on the little toy car. They would do laps around the boxes in the middle of our living room, and they would laugh like crazy. It was too cute and so fun to watch.Hadleigh excited to drive. (Excuse

My brother Sean and his wife had a sweet baby girl named Caitlin born to them yesterday. Unfortunately Caitlin isn't breathing well and is in the NICU. I know the majority of you who read this blog don't know my brother, but please still say a prayer for my new niece, baby Caitlin.

Hadleigh turned nine months old the other day. Here are her stats...Height: 27.7 inches (53rd percentile)Weight: 16 lb 10 oz (24th percentile)Head circumference: 44.2 cm (61st percentile)Apparently Hadleigh is our skinny little baby with a big brain. People tell me all the time that Hadleigh is "so skinny" or "so petite," but I guess I didn't really realize it was true until they weighed her

Here are the girls for Halloween. We didn't do a costume for Hadleigh, just some Halloween clothes and a bow on her head so people can still tell she is a girl. Camille was Tinkerbell. I made her tutu, and I'm pretty proud of it. It was actually really easy, and I am not crafty at all.

Nothing too exciting has been going on around here besides the house buying business. Other than that, Hadleigh started crawling last Thursday (finally at 8 1/2 months old). Her two front teeth are coming in on top too. Camille is just busy being a good big sister, making Hadleigh laugh and sharing toys with her...sometimes...and sometimes taking them away from her. :)With that, I leave you

Yes, you read that right. We are buying a house! It's nothing spectacular, but it will work well for us. It is a little brick ranch house on half an acre. It has a full basement and some apple trees. It's a quiet neighborhood with lots of old people. It could use some updating, which we plan to do to make it our own and to make it easier to sell when the time comes. We don't plan on staying there

...apparently that's what I am. Yesterday we were eating bagels topped with peanut butter and bananas for lunch. Camille asked me to sing a song about bagels. Initially I told her that I don't know any songs about bagels. Then, a couple minutes later, I started to make up a song about bagels and dance around the kitchen while singing it. Here's what happened...Camille: "What are you doing

So, I am a lame-o and haven't posted since August. I am hoping to get caught up soon. For now, however, I could use some help. In August I got called to be the Senior (10 & 11 yr old) Activity Day leader in my ward. Does anyone have any good ideas for these twice a month activities? Thanks!

On Wednesday, my brother Garrett went into the MTC. He is going to serve in Bolivia, and we are just so proud of him and excited for him. Anyway, I told Camille that my brother went into the MTC. She has been asking ever since, "Why did your brother go in the empty seat?" I just love the things little kids say. :)

Well, I really haven't been doing a good job blogging lately. I've just been having a hard time lately, but I feel like that isn't a good excuse. I want to remember these times regardless. So here are some pictures of what has been going on in our lives. (This is a long post, by the way.We got new couches. They tend to make our hair full of static.Hadleigh is five months old.

We decided that we need to see all the Church history sites while we live out this way. So we took a trip up to Kirtland, Ohio last week. We had a good time getting away and learned some more about Church history. It was amazing to be in holy places where our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have appeared. And it was so humbling to think of all that the early members of the Church went through

Last night Camille, Hadleigh, and I saw something that none of us had ever seen before...FIREFLIES!At first I thought I was seeing things. Then I thought some kids were playing with a flashlight outside or something. Then I finally thought they might be fireflies and asked Mike. They were! Super exciting, I know. But when you've never actually seen them before, it's pretty neat. Mike

Well, I haven't posted in almost a month. Here are some highlights from the past month or so.I had a birthday last month! I am 24 now. All I can say is that I don't really feel my age. Sometimes I feel older. I have two kids, you know. And other times I feel like I am still just a kid myself...or at least perpetually 21.I have been experiencing a lot of anxiety concerning the weather and

Many of you are aware that Mike grew up in Joplin, Missouri...the town that was hit by a multi-vortex tornado last night. Please pray for everyone there. Here's what I know about Mike's family. Matt is out of the country for a school trip. He actually left yesterday, earlier in the day. Bob, Marsha, and James are all alive and well. Their house is in pretty bad shape, although it is still

Last Sunday Mike blessed Hadleigh in church. She was one of five babies blessed that day in our ward. Here are some pictures. One of these days I'm going to learn how to turn them.

Here are some pictures from Easter at our house.The egg hunt in the living room.We got Hadleigh this cute little giraffe that plays Rock-a-by Baby. She was more interested in sucking on the top of her pajamas though.Camille saw a chocolate bunny at the store a week before Easter. She would have been perfectly happy if that's all she had gotten. This is a cute Peter Rabbit, which was fun

We are still working on getting good smiling pictures of Hadleigh...Here is Camille yesterday after we went to the park.She rarely lets me even touch her hair, so I had to take a picture of her ponytail. Exciting, I know.

I really like math. Given the recent talk about raising taxes, I wanted to play with some numbers. The funny thing is, I often hear arguments about raising vs lowering taxes but never see actual numbers.Let's say I have $1,000,000 and two possibilities for investing. One should earn a modest 5% over the year, with very little risk. The other should earn a nice 12%. Clearly the 12% investment will

Every last one of us has been feeling junky this week, with our poor tiny little Hadleigh being the worst.Camille has had a cold for about two weeks now.

Since I've been sick and home all week, Camille has had plenty of time with me. Today I conned talked her into watching the Masters with me. She realized none of the players were doing things right and decided to show them how it's done.

A month ago (I know, these are old...Sorry they weren't posted sooner.) things were rather quiet around our place, so I went to find Camille and see what she was up to. I found her laying in the guest bed with a Book of Mormon. She said, "I'm reading scriptures." I guess we are doing something right. :)Sorry these are blurry...I just love this one though.

I just wanted to announce that Hadleigh isn't the only February birthday in our family. Mike had a birthday this week. We had a quiet evening at home with the girls.This one is a little blurry, but I just love how happy and excited Camille looks.I hope you had a great birthday Mike! You are the best husband and father ever! I love you!

I know a lot of you have been waiting to read Hadleigh's birth story. However, I just decided that I don't want to post it for the whole world to read. I definitely want to share it with people, but I don't think our blog is the right way for me to do that. Here's why...I had an emergency c-section after 22 hours of labor. I really had my heart set on having a VBAC and even though I know that

A week or two ago Camille helped Mike put together the changing table for baby sister's room. I was impressed by her ability to actually tighten the bolts. She would even turn it in the right direction without help. She never ceases to amaze me.Note: Don't ever call her Cami. I don't like that nickname, and I can't think of her as anything but Camille. I just thought it made a fun title for

Camille made up a knock-knock joke, and she tells it all the time. I'm impressed that she came up with it herself since she is only two.Camille: Knock knock.Me: Who's there?Camille: Snow WhiteMe: Snow White who?Camille: Snow White chicken head.Okay, so it doesn't make any sense at all. But I still think it's pretty good for a two year old. Mike told it to our primary class of six year-olds, and

Wow! This is our 100th post on the blog. Crazy, especially since I don't post near as much as I would like to.Anyway, I just wanted to give an update on this pregnancy. Yes, I know it's almost over. But for those who are interested, here goes.First of all, I am planning a VBAC. I have an awesome doctor who is very supportive of them. Their practice has a 70-80% success rate. (Which, by the

Last night before we put Camille in bed, I was lifting weights a little bit. I turned around to find this...Yes, Camille is holding a 10 pound weight. She only weighs 30 pounds herself. I was completely surprised when I saw her holding that weight, and seemingly effortlessly. Here's what was said when I saw her.Me: Woah! Camille, isn't that heavy?Camille: Yes, because it's stronger than me.I

Camille loves to drink the milk out of her bowl of cereal in the morning. She usually does a really good job not spilling too. But yesterday she was using a bowl with a wide edge all the way around, making it difficult to drink the milk without spilling. Then I had a great idea...Just put a straw in that bowl and drink away. Camille thought it was fun, and I didn't have milk spilled

Just a little announcement...Today Mike got an acceptance letter to the PhD program he applied to! So I guess in a few years we can all call him Dr. Mike.Congratulations Mike! I'm so proud of you! Thanks for working so hard and taking care of our family!

Last night we took a few end of year photos. These were our favorites.Ok, truth is, Sarah went to shower this morning so Camille and I had some play time. So, me being the computer geek I am, decided I'd try to turn her to the dark side. So we had a little fun on the computer!

This is what our little princess is doing right now...What is so amazing about her sleeping? Well, she put herself down for a nap. That's right. I was cooking and Mike was on the phone. Then we realized Camille wasn't around. Mike went to find her upstairs and found her asleep in bed.This is a miracle. We have been battling naps lately. In fact, this may mean she will stay up until

...That is what I thought of when Camille woke up yesterday. Check out her sweet bed head.I love the fish face.I had Camille look in the mirror to see her crazy hair. She laughed too. I don't know how she ends up with the bed head that she does sometimes, but it always amazes me. The rest of her hair was laying flat and pretty smooth.

We got a ton of snow here on Sunday. It snowed all day and night...so much that Mike had the morning off from work. I took Camille out to play in the snow.This was right before we went outside. She was fake laughing, not yelling.Happily trudging through the snow.The wind was blowing, so I zipped her up completely.Camille wasn't bothered by the wind at all and probably would have stayed outside

Lately Camille has been telling us that she wants a baby in her tummy. Here are a couple of the conversations I have had with her about it.Camille: Mommy, may I please have a baby in my tummy?Me: Not until you are married.Camille: Ok. I will just go to the temple, and I will bring my Dorothy dress.(I'm so glad Camille already knows that she should get married in the temple. As for the Dorothy

I just had the cutest conversation with Camille. I just had to copy it down so I wouldn't forget. Enjoy!Camille: Happy birthday Mommy!Me: It's not my birthday. My birthday is in May.Camille: My birthday's in Kansas City!Me: (laughing) Your birthday is in July.Camille: Where's July?Me: July is in the summer, when it gets hot.Camille: Can we go to the summer?Me: Summer isn't a place.

Two weeks ago Camille and I made muffins together. I actually bought a mix so she could pretty much do it all herself, and she loved it! Here is my two year-old chef.Smile for mom.Dump in the mix.Dump in eggs and milk.Stir, stir, stir.Camille actually stirred it all by herself until it was completely mixed. I was impressed.

I figured that by now everyone probably thinks we moved to Ohio and fell off the face of the earth. Not so. We have just been extremely busy trying to get settled. Sorry, we still aren't unpacked completely, so no pictures of our new place yet. (Plus, I can't find the camera cord, so I can't post pictures right now anyway.) We have just been busy with buying new things for our place, such as

Well, I announced back in MAY that Mike had accepted a job and we would be moving to Ohio. A lot of people probably thought it was a joke or something because we hung around in student housing all summer until they kicked us out two weeks ago since Mike graduated. Anyway, everything has FINALLY all been worked out. The movers came yesterday, and we start our trek across the country in a day.

I haven't posted any of the funny/cute things Camille has said or done in a while. I don't want to forget them, and I think they are fun to share. Enjoy!A few weeks ago Mike playfully asked, "Where's Camille?" as he walked into our bedroom and saw her. Camille responded with, "There I'm are!"A week or two ago we asked Camille what we should name her baby sister. She thought for a minute and

On Friday night, Camille had a seizure. We made a trip down to Primary Children's emergency room to get her checked out. She had a fever when they checked her out in triage. They determined that she had a febrile seizure. Apparently this is a seizure that commonly occurs in young children when they have a sudden rise in temperature. Luckily, she has been fine since. It does not mean you are

We took an all expense paid trip (well, except for Camille's plane tickets) out to Ohio to find a place to live. We left early on the 9th. We had a layover in Chicago, and made our way on to Ohio. Basically we spent the whole first day traveling, getting the rental car, getting checked into the hotel, and going grocery shopping. Luckily we got to stay at a Residence Inn, which has a full

We are having a baby GIRL!!! She is due February 5. We are so excited to have another daughter in just a few months. And we are really excited for Camille to have a little sister.By the way, don't feel bad if you didn't even know that I'm pregnant until now. I didn't tell my parents until two days ago.Any suggestions for names?

An interesting article on life expectancy. Life expectancy vs health care spending is often used as evidence that we need a government take over of health care. The argument goes as follows "America spends the most per-capita on health care and yet our life expectancy is horrible compared to other countries with 'socialized' health care." This is suppose to lead you to the obvious conclusion that

Thursday afternoon I flew out to Denver. My sister, Stephanie, had a c-section scheduled for the next morning, and she needed some help with her two other kids. I came back Saturday night, so it was a quick trip, but I was glad I could help. And it was just so fun to get to see my new nephew.It turned out to be extra nice for Steph and James that I was there. Stephanie ended up going into

This is just a random post of some of the things Camille has done lately that I want to remember.A couple weeks ago, I went to run an errand. When I got home, Mike was doing dishes and Camille was back in our bedroom. She had put on one of my bras and was patting the cups. Then she started saying, "I'm wearing a swimsuit." (She thinks anything with skinny straps, such as a spaghetti strap

Camille turned two years old last week! It's crazy to think that she has been a part of our family that long. She is getting so smart, is learning to use the potty, and is such a happy kid. We love you Camille!For her birthday, we made cupcakes and invited all the neighbor kids to come sing happy birthday and have some.This is Cameron and Camille. They have the same birthday, but Cameron is

Last week we decided we needed a vacation. Things have been moving very slowly getting my paperwork from Wright-Patterson AFB so that I can start work. We decided it was time for a break, so Thursday we headed north for a stay in Idaho. We decided to stay in Idaho Falls and make a day trip on Friday to Yellowstone. Since we had lived in Idaho Falls for a few months after we were first married, we

We have been married for more than three years and had never taken any family pictures. Now that Camille is almost two, we finally went and had some taken. Here are some of them, in no particular order. Enjoy!We thought this one was pretty cheesy. We didn't order any of it...but we thought it was blog-worthy since it is kind of funny.I like this family one.Maybe the love thing on this one is

This week we all got new hair cuts! Camille's hair doesn't look too different, but we did have our neighbor even it out some (don't think I ever realized that hair doesn't grow even).Sarah was very daring and decided to go much shorter than usual. Looks great though!My cut was inspired by Sarah's brother who is in the Navy. I'm still not too sure about it. I think it would look much better if I

Since we are still waiting to find out when we'll be moving to Ohio, we've decided to get some good, fun trips in before we go. Today was our Hill AFB Museum/Philly Cheese steak trip.I think Camille really liked the dog. She wanted to pet it. Sure looks real.Sarah says she'd be scared flying in something like this!My favorite part about this jeep was the chairs. They sure don't look very

Well, a lot of people have been asking lately if we know where we will be moving. And for about two weeks now, the answer has finally been YES! We are moving to Dayton, Ohio sometime this summer, not to New York. Mike was also offered a job in New York, but we decided to take the job in Ohio instead.

Mike graduated on May 7! He now has a master's degree! Hooray! Marsha (Mike's mom) came to town for graduation. Luckily she was able to attend because Camille and I were not. The night before graduation, we went to pick up Marsha from the airport. On the way there, Camille started throwing up in the car. The next morning I was throwing up. Luckily I have an amazing neighbor who gladly watched

Mike and I had our third anniversary last week! It's crazy how quickly the time has gone. A lot has happened in that time: graduations from BYU, had Camille, and now Mike is finishing a Master's degree. Did I mention we will be moving across the country and Mike will start a career? It's amazing how much stuff can happen in three years!Anyway, to celebrate we went to The Cheesecake Factory for

I just got back after almost a week of being out interviewing for jobs and seeing some of the country. On Tuesday morning I left for Rome, NY. I had to fly into Syracuse and then drive an hour to get to Rome. My interview there was with AFRL/RI (Air Force Research Lab, Information Directorate). It sounds like a great place to work, lots of cool research and projects. At the end they told me

This was the first year that we had an Easter egg hunt for Camille. Since we don't have a yard, and we live in a tiny apartment, we thought it would be fun to do the Easter egg hunt at Mike's grandparents' house. They gladly allowed us to. So we drove up to their house the day before Easter. We watched the morning session of General Conference. Then Mike and his grandpa hid the eggs in the

I forgot to put this with the saying funny things post. Whenever Camille hurts something, she wants me to kiss it better.Last week Camille bit the inside if her cheek. Then she said, "Mouth hurts." And she pointed her finger inside her mouth. Then she said, "Kiss it" and immediately opened her mouth very wide and said, "Aaahhh." (like at a doctor's office) Also, Camille woke up hungry from her

I just thought I should post more funny things Camille says because I want to remember them all.1.) Camille lately has been going around saying "Happy Birthday!" for no reason. (She is actually doing that right this minute, which is why I thought to post right now.)2.) This morning when I got out of the shower Camille said, "Hi, pumpkin." (I thought this was funny because I call her pumpkin all

On Sunday when I was making dinner, Camille was kept whining and just wanted to be held. She would not go to Mike at all either. I like to hold Camille, but she weighs 25 lbs now. And even if she were lighter, it is hard to cook only one handed. Anyway, after trying to do hold her off and on for a few minutes, I opened the cupboard to get some spices out. While the cupboard was open, Camille

I finished reading "Terrestrial Energy: How Nuclear Energy Will Lead the Green Revolution and End America's Energy" by William Tucker today. For anyone who knows little about energy, nuclear, etc (like myself) this was a very good read.The premise of the book is that we can really "go green" and end any man-made contributions to global warming by using a hybrid approach of nuclear for base load

So Camille has been sick almost constantly for the past month. The small break that she had was last weekend, and we actually were out of town. (I'll post more about our trip later.) Anyway, we thought Camille was done being sick. But a day after we got home, she started vomiting and having diarrhea. She isn't throwing up anymore, but we are still dealing with the diarrhea...which

Camille has been saying some funny things lately. I can't remember all of them, so I will have to try to post more frequently. Anyway, here are some things she has said lately. Enjoy!Me: "Camille, what's on your bum?"

Camille has been sick lately, and she is currently getting over all of these things. After two regular doctors visits and a trip to the Emergency Room, Camille is finally getting better. She has started sleeping all night again too. Thanks everyone for your prayers!

Sometimes our house is a wreck. Usually, this can be attributed to the fact that Camille is a VERY busy little girl. She sure is a big "helper."One day I was cooking dinner and Camille came up behind me. I wasn't really paying attention to her. A minute later I looked and saw that she had colored this picture on the floor. It was on a couple of cupboards too, but the pictures didn't turn out.

I took Camille to the doctor a week ago for her 18 month well visit and vaccinations. She is getting so BIG! People always tell me she is tall, but I didn't realize just how tall in comparison to other kids her age. These were the stats:33 1/2 inches tall (95th percentile!)25.4 pounds (fully clothed, so somewhere between 50th and 75th percentile)I don't remember what her head circumference was

I have had a rough week with Camille. We have been having battles with naps and sleeping at night. She got three shots yesterday too, which made her cranky. She has been driving me crazy all week. So, I thought I would take a minute to list some of the things I am grateful so that I can remember how truly blessed I am. Because that's exactly it. I have truly been blessed more than I ever

That's what Camille is...one silly little girl. I was coloring with her this afternoon when she started sticking her tongue out over and over. About a minute later, my lips and cheek were slobbery. Yes, Camille licked my lips and then about 2 seconds later licked my cheek. It was gross, but funny at the same time. We both couldn't stop laughing. Remember how I said we were coloring? Well,

This happened a week or two ago, even though I'm only just now posting it. Camille and I were eating some Goldfish crackers right out of the box. A BIG box, I might add. She was doing a good job taking and eating one at a time, so I thought it wouldn't be a big deal to leave her for a minute. Well, that was a mistake. When I came back, this is what I found.....Yes, that is the rest of the

I recently finished the book "Basic Economics" by Thomas Sowell. I originally got this for Christmas 2008. Because of the economic problems we were facing then (and which continue today) I wanted to learn more about economics. Let me say, I was not disappointed in my choice of books.Overall, I loved the fact that he writes in a very clear and understandable manner. He always has historical

Most of you know Camille had a lot of hair when she was born. She also never lost it like I hear some babies do. It has just kept growing, which is nice since she is a girl.Her hair is long enough for pig tails now! In fact, these pig tails only have half of her hair in them. (The other half is hanging down, which you can't really see from the picture.) Crazy!Oh, and she hasn't ever had a

He will graduate with a Master's degree in May! Just thought I would share because it sure makes me happy thinking about it. And about how blessed we are.

Well, we have started potty training Camille. Actually, we started letting her sit on the toilet about a month ago. But she finally went on the potty for the first time a couple days ago. And she went a second time this morning! I'm hoping that she keeps wanting to use the potty and makes progress fast. We got lucky with her wanting to learn so early. I think this is because we always keep

I'm sure every little kid does it. Camille is no exception. She loves to copy everything we do. For instance, the other day, Sarah was sweeping. So what did Camille have to do?Then today, Sarah was putting on her make-up, so....Camille tried to do the same. She ended up with some cotton ball stuck to her cheek and I couldn't resist taking a few pictures!

It took an hour or two to code up and debug, but it will probably take a few days to run. Thanks to computer, all weekend long I can think "ah, I am working on my thesis, right

I am going to post a review of a book that I read on vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). But before I get to the review of the book, I just wanted to explain a little bit about why I read it and why I'm writing the review. First of all, most of you probably know that our daughter Camille was born via C-section last summer. I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia at my 39 week check-up and was sent

Camille has a learned a new skill. Okay, it isn't a bad thing. It's just that she does not use this skill appropriately.She has learned to take her clothes off.The problem with this is that she has known how to take her diaper off for a while now. But, as long as we got her dressed quickly after a diaper change or a bath, she couldn't get it off. Now she knows how to undo the snap on her

Last week for Family Home Evening, our treat was mint Oreos. Yum! Camille had never had them before, but she sure liked them.At first she only wanted to eat the cream out of the middle.She just kept dipping her finger in and licking it.It was really cute!You can tell she liked the cookies. Just look at that messy face.

One morning I got up when Camille woke up. I got her out of her crib and got her a sippy cup of milk. Then I left her in the living room while I went to the bathroom. When I came out a minute later, I found this.....If you can't tell, Camille is holding a bag of popcorn...and she was gobbling it up. I had popped some popcorn late the night before, but we didn't eat all of it. Then I left the

I made lasagna a week or two ago, and I figured I would share a short cut with you. You don't have to boil the noodles. I didn't even buy the noodles that say on the package that you don't have to boil them. I just used regular noodles and put them in totally dry. The lasagna still turned out great. The noodles were perfectly soft. Just thought I would share this awesome discovery.

Camille was a BYU cheerleader for Halloween. The best part about this is that Mike goes to the University of Utah. We just had to dress Camille up like this for our last Halloween here. It was too fun.
