3,2,1...Blast off

This last weekend we moved Kevin's parents. Friday we went to Paul and packed and cleaned and moved pretty much everything. It surprisingly went really smoothly. Even though it was just Shannon and I inside the house cleaning and packing with two little babies, and only Kevin and Michael outside moving all the farm equipment and packing the things into the trailer. Kevin and Michael were champs. They were so strong and worked so hard.

It was fun to see some of Kevin's things from growing up. Kevin is so awesome. He used to BMX a bunch and we found all these fun trophies that he won.


On Saturday we woke up and went to Rigby to unload. We had several more hands, but it still went really well. After spending the day unpacking, Kevin said that we should go to blast off in Idaho Falls because you can go see some new baby bear cubs. Of course I was all over that. So we headed back to Idaho Falls. We got there and paid to go in. We have never been inside of blastoff and it was awesome. When Camille gets older we will defiantly be going there. It is this huge playground with balls and obstacles and all sorts of fun.

Anyway, we were able to see the little bear cubs. It was $20 to be able to touch them, so we didn't get to pet them, but I just wanted to cuddle up with these little bears. I never thought that I would want to cuddle with a bear, but I really did.
See the bear under the chair! I still just want to give it a big hug! 



After we decided to try a couple tacos from the taco bus. It was such a fun little adventure. I love these little things we get to do every once in a while. I love my little family.

Camille- 14 months

14 months old. This last month she has grown and learned so much! For her one year birthday my parents gave her a fun little slide. This month she learned how to climb up the ladder, turn around, and go down the slide on her belly. It really scared me at first, but she hasn't fallen off yet, so I am hoping it stays that way. Camille is so crazy. Kevin and I are sure that we will have to take her to the Emergency room before she turns two.

She has learned how to climb. Goodness she loves to climb. One morning Kevin and I were sitting on the couch trying to wake up, and Camille was just running around. We heard a little grunting and noises coming from the kitchen so we got up to check on her. We found her sitting in her high chair. She had climbed up, grabbed the back of the chair, hoisted herself into the seat and sat down. Now we have to store the high chair laying down. I worry that she will fall off too much. She is going to be a rock climber just like her Aunt Melissa.

Her favorite place to be is behind the couch in the window sill. She will climb up on top of me when I am laying on the couch, and push herself up and over the back of the couch into the window sill. It is so funny. If she is being grumpy, I just put her in there and she can look outside. Then when she is finished she does a dramatic fall onto the couch. She thinks it is so funny. (It is really funny).


Camille just learned how to give kisses. They are so slobbery and precious. She opens her mouth and says, "Awwww". Then pushes her open mouth up on you. She holds it there for a second and wiggles her wide eyes around. It is so funny. We have a doll that she just loves to kiss for some reason. It is the sweetest.

This last month when we did laundry we turned the laundry basket into a little bed. She loves to climb into and out of the basket. It was so fun.

She also really loves bath time. Sometimes we will take a bath, just to take a bath. Every time we walk up the stairs she runs to the bathroom and wants to get into the bathtub. One day I was cleaning or something upstairs and I went to find Camille and found her in the tub with her clothes on. Thank goodness there was no water in it, but she is just adorable in these pictures.

Recently in the mornings Camille and I will come down stairs and lay on the couch and she will just rest on me and fall in and out of sleep until she fully wakes up. It does my heart good to just sit and snuggle with my sweetie. She just makes me so happy.

Camille is a smarty pants. I am probably biased, but I think she is just great. She can say mama, dada, grandma, grandpa, apple, bananas, ball, more, Austin, Jesus, bubbles, and strawberry (stabery). She tries to say a lot of other words that we say like bread, blue, Lydia, and water. She also signs the words please (which is adorable, and milk. When you say, "where is the monkey?" she points to herself. It is so funny.


We have just been having so much fun with our little girl. I can't wait to see where she takes us. Love you Camille!
