I walked the Camel yesterday..it's your turn!

Last weekend we looked out K's parents back window to see this!

K and the boys went out to take a closer look and found out that it was an 11 month old camel. The guy lives in the neighborhood and is training the camel to then sell to someone else to breed. The boys got to feed the camel and thought it was pretty cool. You never know what you will see out your window!

Favorite Pictures on Our New Camera

I finally uploaded all of the pictures from our new camera. Here are some of our favorites. Enjoy!

The view of the Salt Lake Valley from K's parents back porch

K took this the first night we had our new camera. Cool, it can actually zoom in that far on the moon from just outside our apartment.

J in the hat he made with Grandma Debbie's help to donate to the new hospital. I need to get pics of the hat that he made for himself.

M in the hat he made with Grandma Debbie's help to donate to the new hospital. What a ham!

M pulling J in the new wagon they got for Christmas

J riding down the parking lot in the wagon (One of my favorite pics!!)

J. . . thinking that he can sneak up on me and get me with that snow ball! Sorry, this camera zooms so far that I was safely in the house before he got close enough.

Pinewood Derby!

Maxwell had his first pinewood derby on my birthday last week. Here are a couple pictures. Yes, the blurs in the picture are the cars going down the track and Maxwell is on the left. Our camera is on the fritz and our wonderful neighbors let us borrow one of theirs. (thank you!) Grandpa Dennis and Kaleb helped Maxwell make the car and they had a great time. He was awarded the "Most Creative" car. Way to go Maxwell!!

Birthday time!!!

Happy Birthday to ALICIA!!! I always tell her she is old. A big 33 this year for her. She has been working so hard at the books this semester and hasn't had a lot of time to do things she likes to do. She is a champ for sticking to it! I wish I could climb into her body and take some of the pain from her fibromyalgia. Its hard even for me to see how much pain she is in. But she still amazes me that she can do so much. I know she wishes, especially for her birthday wishes, that she could do more if she didn't have this pain. She loves playing with her boys and hanging out with friends and family. She loves crafting, scrapbooking, cooking, blogging, being outside, music, camping, and many more things that she wishes she could do more of.

I just want her to know how much I love her! She is the most amazing woman! She thinks about others before she thinks about herself. She listens when someone else is in need talking. She uses her many talents to help others such as: sewing, cardmaking, scrapbooking, piano, cooking and taking meals to people, reading to young kids, having patience for people like me, and many others. She is a strength, not a weakness! She is my strength, my better half, my beautiful, my babe, my love, my eternal companion! I love you and will always love you! Life would not be the same without you! I hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Back to School

I think this picture answers all the questions of what I have been doing and why I have been too busy to post any of our new family pictures or all of the fun things we did over Christmas break. Eventually those pictures will come, but for now. . . . . . . .

10 Years!!!

In one week K and I will have been married for 10 years! Wow how time flies by! I can't say that the past 10 years have just all been absolutely wonderful, but I can say that there is no one else in the world that I would have rather been with through all of our ups and downs of the past 10 years. We've moved about 10 times and had 2 adorable boys. I can hardly remember my life without my K. He is the most awesome husband, friend, and father. I can't wait to spend the rest of eternity with him!!
