Happy Birthday Quinn!


Wow! I absolutely cannot believe that my baby has turned one! Her birthday was Saturday and we had a big party with all of her granparents and great grandparents and even one great-great grandma! She got tons of presents (not from us!! but from her grandparents) like Santa Clause doesn't need to come in a month!! She had her very own cake and instead of digging in with her cute little hands, she decided to go face first! It was so funny. The party was a lot of fun and she was so cute while opening her presents she would let out this squeal that basically killed all of our ear drums! (Bunco girls....you know where she gets that!)

Let me tell you a little bit about what is going on with my little girl. She has got Amblyopia in her eye and she is wearing a patch right now to try and make the bad eye stronger. But someime in the next month she will have a surgery where they go in and strengthen the muscles in the eye. Now it could be fixed in one surgery but it could also take up to three. The doctor said that by the time she is a teenager she will have straight eyes and good vision, but it is going to take 10 years to get it that way! She also was born with a cleft gum. Where her gum on the top didn't grow all the way together because of her frenulum. So next Tuesday we take her to get the surgery on it. So please keep her in your prayers for the next little while! The poor little thing. I feel so bad for her and all that she is going through right now. But I am so thankful that these are the only problems she has, because taking her to Primary Childrens, I saw a lot of little kids a lot worse off than her. I can't even say how thankful I am for both of my kids and that they are healthy, and that what is wrong is completely fixable. I am so glad to have both of these cute little girls. I can't even tell you how much I love being a mom and love being able to stay home with them. They are the light of my life and I wouldn't have it any other way!!


I had to put this pic on here even though you can't see her beautiful eyes that well. But you can tell how happy she is! She is always grinning like that. What a happy baby!


Sitting up in her chair "posing" for our little photo shoot!


Like I said...she dug in with her face!! It was hilarious. And surprisingly enough she was very clean when she got done. Just some on one hand and her face!!


All of our family at the party! I was excited that everyone came. And that with all the craziness that has gone on in my family that there wasn't a fight. Because My mom and Michelle were both there, My Davis Grandparents and my Dad, and Scott was there too. But it was a lot of fun and everyone got a long!

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful Hubby!

Today is our 5th Anniversary! I can't believe that we have been married for 5 years! It's crazy because it seems like we have been together forever sometimes, and others it feels like it hasn't been that long! I could not ask for a better husband. He takes such good care of my girls and I! He puts up with a lot of crap out of me sometimes and I can't even express how much I love and appreciate him!

So to Cameron....thank you so much for everything. You are the best Dad and Husband a girl could ask for. I have no idea what I would do without you. You always love me no matter how onry and mean I can get. I can't believe it was 5 years ago today that we started this wonderful adventure. I love our lives together and I wouldn't change anything. Thank you so much for taking me and the girls to the temple so we could be sealed. You are a great guy and I love you so much!!

Gone Hunting

Well this time of year is always super fun for us! We disappear for about two weeks! I love to hunt and spend time with my dad and my sisters hunting. Cameron had a Buck and Bull combo tag and got a 2 point bull and a 3 point buck. I went with him the night he got his deer and it was a lot of fun! I have to say that I have never seen such a sharp shooter. He dropped his deer in one shot a 400 yards. That is a way long shot! My hunt opened this weekend and we have hunted for 2 days straight. I have walked my butt off! We only saw 2 bucks and I shot at one at 478 yards away and missed. But it was fun! Hopefully I will get one and have some pictures to post! Until then we will disappear yet again. I am pretty sure my kids think I have fell off the planet!

Quinn


Quinn is getting so big! She has started to crawl! She doesn't sit up but she gets around crawling! She is 10 1/2 months and 17 lbs. She has the cutest little personality. She is very stubborn and if she doesn't have her way look out! I can't believe she will be one in November. Where does the time go?






How did this happen?!?!?



I have been sitting here wondering if this is all really happening, and if it is then how....how is my little girl old enough for Pre School? Lexi started last week and I am having the hardest time. Well...I am kinda used to it now, but the day she started I just cried and cried. I just can't believe that the little baby that I was so scared of when I first had her, is now this old! She is so smart and so sweet. But just look out when the attitude starts. She is very independent and likes to do everything herself. And already a little embarassed of mom. Her class is going on a Field Trip to the Zoo and I asked her if she wanted me to come and be a helper, and she said " No, I don't need you to come." Wow! Already embarrassed of me! The 2nd day of school she actually asked if I was going to cry again! I am a total boob! I have found myself crying so much these last couple weeks. She had her 1st primary program yesterday and I cried then too! I am so glad that I have such a wonderful little girl! She is such a good example to Quinn, Cameron, and I!









Hogle Zoo



On the day of the temple dedication we went to the zoo with my mom, Meagan, Madi, Brad, Rachel, and Robby. It was so fun! I absolutely love the zoo! We got to see the baby giraffe and snow leapord. But they didn't have the baby elephant out yet! It was a really fun day!




For some reason, we never get any picuters of just Cameron and I!



We thought this would be cute! You can't see the fear in Quinn's eyes in the pic though. Lexi had a hold of her so tight!



Brad brought his niece Brentanna and her and Lexi had a ball! They are such good friends!
