Dear Tus

I can't believe I have been married to you, my best friend, for six years. You have made my life a dream come true. You are the most amazing husband and father and I will never need more.

These six years have flown by and I am beyond happy to spend eternity with you.

I love you completely. Forever.

Be still my heart.

Camera Happy

Cameron LOVES to take pictures anytime he gets his hands on the camera. He is actually a really good photographer and gets the whole person in the shot. (Better than some people I know...not naming names Lady or Grandma Mia.) Ha

All taken by Cam.

Every time he puts money in his bank he says he wants to go buy a camera. I asked him if he wanted to cash in his chunk of change, he can barely lift his bank, and his reply was, "No, I wanna save my money. You buy the camera."

I didn't realize this started so early on. We're in for it!

Comparison Take 2...

I found this cute picture of Cameron doing tummy time and compared it to Ali doing tummy time. They are starting to look more and more alike as she is getting older.

Here is Cam at 5 months:

Here is Ali at almost 4 months:

Go Utes!

Good thing we had our gear on this past weekend. I'm sure my kids in red, being as darling as ever, made the Utes tear up BYU.

54-10!

State Fair

We were able to take the kids to the state fair this year. We got a great deal on tickets (5 bucks for both of us! Kids were free.)

Cam loves to go and see all the animals and ride the big yellow slide. I love to go and see all the fun vendors they have. I am always tempted to buy everything! Good thing Scott regulated that!

We went the same night as Scott's cousins, so we met up with them toward the end of the night. Cam LOVES his cousins. He loves the word cousins. He loves playing with cousins and is always coloring a picture for one of them. I adore that about him and hope that he always has a relationship with all of them.

Here he is with Grant. He walked around the entire time we looked at the animals holding his hand. It was so precious!

Cam loves little kids and babies and is so good at making them laugh.

He got Grayson to laugh a few times.

Cam insisted that riding a pony had to happen this time. I was a little hesitant because we attempted a pony ride at the Davis fair a few weeks earlier where he had a fit and cried the entire time.

 I told him that he couldn't cry if he went this time.

"Sure Mom! I don't cry. Mine loves ponies!"

.3 seconds into the ride:

This face. He cried the whole time and begged Scott to take him off.

That sure didn't happen though, we had to get our 5 bucks worth. (Even if he didn't cry, it wasn't worth 5 bucks. It lasted maybe 30 seconds.)

The boys got to do a quick game of mini-golf.

The best ride of all!

Cam was able to go 3 times. He didn't want to get off!

Ali in the moby wrap I am borrowing from a friend. (LOVE IT) Scott was fretting the whole time thinking I was going to drop her. He tied the wrap around me so tight my eyes were about to bulge out!

She looks pretty unsafe huh?

;)

Rolling

Ali finally rolled over! She rolled from her tummy to her back today. She was pretty proud of herself and couldn't stop smiling about it. Every time I would put her on her tummy she would throw her upper half to the side and swing her chubby legs over. It was pretty fun to watch.

I feel bad it has taken her so long to learn this. I don't lay her on the floor very often. I have two legit reasons:

1. She spits up sometimes after she eats, so I try and keep her upright. (to save the cute outfits!) Then by the time she is in the "safe" zone it is her nap time or we get ready to leave...etc. 

2. She can't be left on the floor alone with her big brother if I leave the room. Don't get me wrong, he is a great brother and helps a ton, but he has space issues with her. And, let's face it, he is a boy. He runs, jumps, kicks, and wiggles with little regard for the small person on the floor.  So, if she lays on the floor with us, I need to be completely ready to stay put for a while. I don't have enough time in the day! 

Those are pretty lame excuses. Sorry.

I need to stop having "reasons" why she doesn't meet milestones on time.

:)

Until the next one...
