To blog or not to blog - that is the question

I'm not really good at this blogging thing - obviously ;) It's right up there with journal writing and scrap booking. I always have the best of intentions, but my lack of creativity brings me down and I just don't do it out of frustration.

But I want you all (all 2 of you) to know that I am going to try to do better! I can't make any promises and I wouldn't place any bets yet, but I will try ;) And to prove it, here are a few tidbits from our lives recently ...

Ty bud broke his arm on November 5th. No, DFS is not involved - it didn't even happen at our house (thank goodness! ;) ) Poor little guy is in a cast until December 21st! Green break of both bones - OUCH!

My sweet Kelsey got married! Ok, she isn't really mine, but I claim her! This picture is from the fabulously fun bachelorette party that her BFF Morgan had for her!

This is my gorgeous niece Starlee. I adore her ... She will be up here next year going to school - so call with names and numbers of your cute little brothers and nephews!

The cutest bunch of soccer players ever! (Picture stolen from Laurie's blog)

Sydney, Carlie and Cecilee had a 6am indoor soccer game! They played great, and we went to Kneaders for breakfast after the game (more for the mom's than the girls).

So there you have it - I blogged. And no, it didn't hurt, it wasn't too terribly frustrating, and I'm happy I did it. Now if I can just keep up with it ...

Inside Scoop!!

This is Kelsey.  I'm Camie's babysitter/friend... whatever I am :)  Camie and Andy are running the Wasatch Back Relay.  At the moment, Ty and Mya are sitting at the table painting, Syd is making an Orange Julius and Cameron is locked out of the house.  I know, right?  Best babysitter in the world... that's me!  Okay, just kidding about the last sentence, but because Camie is an extremely busy mother, she rarely gets to blog AND because she left her blogger logged in, her kids and I are totally taking over... (fill in with creepy laugh)!  

Good luck Camie and Andy! (aka Mom and Dad)

RUN YOUR GUTS OUT!!!

Welcome to the Family!

I'd like to introduce you all to my baby brother Kevin.  Being that he is 31 years old and has worked as a Rocket Scientist and is currently in Medical School, I could/should probably drop the moniker of "baby" brother.  But I don't think I ever will!  I'm sure I will be well advanced in age and still calling my brothers Inny, Heathy, Adie and Kevie (their names being Ian, Heath, Adam and Kevin).  I like to think that as their favorite sister I can get away with calling them anything I want! ;)  They in turn like to remind me that I'm their only sister so it isn't really like they have a choice! ;)

Last week Kevie got married and I got another beautiful sister in law!  Welcome to the family Michele!  Let me remind you that you knew exactly what you were getting into when you married Kevie!

Kevin & Michele

June 3, 2009

We share a name and now an injury ...

Cameron was named after his mother and now we share an injury!  When I was just over 7 years old I fell and broke both bones in my right arm just above my wrist.  Cameron is just shy of 7 years old and fell off his sister's rip-stick this morning and broke both bones in his right arm just above the wrist!  The following pictures are not for the faint of heart ...

Yep, it was pretty gross!  Andy is out of town this week, so I was on my own.  So of course I called in reinforcements! Big thanks to my brother Kevin and his sweet wife Michele for coming and holding my hand at the hospital (I did really well until they had to set it - I stood outside the door and cried while Kev & Michele sat with a sedated Cam). Thank-you Laurie for coming to the ER and taking my other 2 rugrats to the Jogging Broads picnic, they had a great time!  And thanks to Heather for keeping Syd with her family for the day!  I wish I could say I was calm, cool and collected ... but I wasn't!  I was shaking like a leaf. Thank-you to everyone for helping me out, staying with me and giving me a shoulder to lean on!

Boston Bound

Wish us luck!

Hair today, gone tomorrow!

Before

After

Mya cut 9 inches off her hair yesterday!  She looks so cute with her new short and sassy do! Way to go Bubba!

Say it again ...

The conversation went something like this ...

"Mom guess what! Brett told Brian who told Parker who told Ashley who told Kenzie who told me that Brett likes me!"

Yep, that was it - I made her repeat it three times to see if she could get it right again, of course she did! Nothing like the excitement of finding out that your crush has a crush on you too! Now I'm no Mrs. Robinson (ok, I am a little), but this Brett kid is pretty cute.  White blonde hair and blue eyes, smart, and a killer soccer player (big kuddos in Syd's book for that one!)  Lucky for mom and dad he also hits Syd at her chin! Whew, a few more years until we need to worry about that one!

Casual Wednesday

We are lucky that Andy gets to work from home.  We save so much money on gas, eating out and of course his work wardrobe!

Nice babe, real nice ...
