Summer Update

Hey Everyone! It's been a little while since I've blogged last, so I thought I'd better give an update! We're still here in Utah and having so much fun visiting with family and friends! This past weekend we took a quick trip to my hometown in Cedar City Utah. I was able to attend my 10 year High School Reunion and visit with friends I haven't seen in well, 10 years and also those friends I saw just last year! Either way, I had a fantastic time catching up on their lives! Kami came with me to the family part of the reunion in the morning and was able to make a few little friends. Although one attempt didn't go so well. If you check out just below her eye you can see a battle wound of a little boy who apparently did not want to be friends with Kami! Poor baby! Oh! Also, check out her new haircut! Her bangs were starting to really get in her eyes, so I trimmed them last week. I didn't realize how different she'd look!

These first few pictures were taken on the way back to SLC from Cedar City. We stopped in Fillmore for lunch and they have a nice little park there as well that we played at for a while.


While in Cedar, we took Kami to the Greenshow at the Utah Shakespearean Festival. Kami was glued to watching the dancers and really got into clapping along with the rest of the audience.

Yet another battle wound visable in this next picture taken before the trip to Cedar on one of Salt Lake's ridiculously inferno like days. Anyway, Kami has been learning how to get in and out of little chairs. While coming down out of a chair one morning, it didn't go quite so well as she landed smack on her face, giving her this nice scraped, fat lip. These pictures were taken a couple days after that incident. As you can tell, she got over it and tended to more important things like having fun in her little pool!



And some good news! Drew found a place to live in Korea! Kami is so excited she's all packed and ready to go! We should be leaving for Korea in the next few weeks.
Also, a couple more words to add to Kami's list:
shoosh = shoe
tick-a tick-a tick-a tick-a = tickle, tickle, tickle tickle

Happy Birthday Kamden: Utah Edition!

Okay! I've got pictures uploaded on the computer and I've got a few spare moments left before Kami wakes up from her nap! So, I am quickly updating the blog with some pictures of Kamden's Utah birthday last week! The ice cream cone cupcakes turned out just the way I wanted and were a success with Kami and her cousins.

On another note, I cannot believe how big and independent Kami is getting! I swear I spent half the morning following her from mess to mess cleaning up after her! Good greif! She doesn't stop! If not for her cuteness! Speaking of cuteness, I though I'd share some cute new words of hers:

amah=up
iss=ears
ish!=sheesh! (wonder where she picked up that one!)
dada=everything else she can't say yet (although she does also associate dada with Drew as well!)

Coolin' Off

Oh my goodness it's hot here! So, we're doing everything we can to keep cool! Here's some pictures of Kamden trying to cool off!





And it's no fun to try and cool off by yourself! It's much more fun with cousins! Here's some of Kami's!

This is Kami's 2nd cousin (1st cousin once removed...aka, my cousins kids), Madison.

This is Madison's brother and sister, Hunter & Brooklyn.

And there are Kami's cousins, Josh & Vanessa!
