Playing in the snow, Santa, the hunt, our tree.

Jamie & Camrie

Jamie decided to go inside, but while Hunter was down for a nap me an Cam made a fun sledding hill.  Am I my fathers daughter or what?

This was SO funny.  Cam went down frontwards, backwards, on her belly, back, knees.  When she went down on her belly she stood up and had a snow goatee.  Her face dipped in the snow on the way down.  We were laughing so hard.

Again, again, again...

This was cute.  Jamie set out a little bedding on the floor and laid Hunter down, put the blanket on him and he just stayed there.

It was cute, Hunter wouldn't take his eyes off of him.

My boys

Ron was a big help finding the elk.  Zach was lucky enough to help Colby bring it out.  Probably could have chose a better place to shoot it, they were hiking and hauling all day and then some.

Colby's elk. A couple nubs are broke off, but he shot a 5 point.

Jamie wouldn't go near it at first, then we couldn't keep her away from it.

Hunter with the elk.

We camped in the trailer for one night.  It was pretty fun.

Hunter loved it.

I got to go road hunting with the boys a couple times.

We got to bounce around a do some four wheeling in Ron's yellow jeep.

Yes I was there.

We got our tree up. All of the ornaments are from Cam's head and up to keep Hunter from taking off with them.

Busy October

October was an extremely busy month.  My little Hunt-man's first birthday was on the 9th.  He got lots of great presents and some much needed clothes, we had a great time with family.  Hunter didn't really like the cake sticking to his hands, it was hilarious.  He did however like the taste of it, so he made do. lol.

Colby's birthday was on the 21st, I wish I'd taken my camera.  We went to Tepanyaki for dinner and it was SO yummy. 

Hunter got his first tooth, it was a top one so he looks like a hillbilly, but so cute.  It's the picture of him upside down, it's the only way we could get a shot of it. He just got a bottom one in, so now he has one top and one bottom and they're both on the same side. It makes me laugh when he smiles at me. lol.  His other bottom one looks like it will come through any day.

Then party after party, which the kids just loved, so thank you everyone for the invites.

Grandma and Grandpa Holmes came over to help carve pumpkins.  It was the first year the girls really got their hands dirty.  They did a lot of it themselves, and Hunter used his new tooth to chew on pumpkin, it was pretty funny. 

For Halloween the kids were: Pocahontas, a "bad" witch, and a vampire.  Jamie also wore the alligator to a costume party, and Hunters vampire costume was major floods, so he was a hunter for the costume party.

Glad to have October behind us, now for a busy November leading to a busy December. Gotta love the Holidays, and ALL the birthdays in between.

Messy.

Attempting to take a cute picture of my three little ones.

I LOVE that they grabbed hands for the picture. (sniff, sniff, tear)

Hunter wouldn't hold still for a picture so I said, "girls run with Hunter, hurry so I can get a picture." lol.

Icky mess.

Cam's 1st day of preschool and her 4th birthday.

I can't believe my little Cam-a-lam is in Pre-school.  She absolutely loves it.  She had a great birthday too, we went to Stockton Miners Cafe and let the kids run wild, everyone from both sides of the family made it.  It was pure chaos, but she loved it.

Camrie got a Tinker Bell backpack.

My little girl is growing up... sniff, sniff, tear.

She's so excited to have her own spot for her backpack.

 

 

She chose a barbie cupcake cake.

She got it all over her white Real shirt, luckily it came out.

Everyone showed up, it was great.

Hunter kept giving Kallee hugs, she LOVED it!

Stockton Miners Cafe has an awesome banquet room.

Colby got a present too.

First grade, busy bodies, and Fail reunion

My First grader is getting so big.

Jamie had her first day of 1st grade and loved it.  Her favorite part was recess and lunch. :)  We did have an interesting morning.  I was told her bus would be to the bus stop around 8:30, so we left the house at 8:20 because it's about a 10 minute walk and the bus was rounding the corner, so we had to run pushing the other two in the stroller the whole way.  I couldn't believe Jamie stayed with me.  Luckily the bus driver waited for us. On the way back home I found her lunch box on the ground, so I had to hop in the car and drive to the school and give it to her.  I may as well have taken her to school.  Oh well, she loves the bus.

Hunter being a busy body.  This is one of his favorite places to hang out in the whole house.  Good thing there empty.

Busy Body Boy.

The kids goofing off.  Hunter will stay busy all day if they'll play with him.

All in the toy bucket at the same time.

Fail family reunion.

 I just had to put the mite on him.

Mardi Gra masks

Found out Jamie is pretty good at basketball.  Loooove IT!

Girls playing with the dogs by the stream.

Hunter ate at this make-shift high chair all weekend.

 I had some great helpers.

Swim lessons

I signed the girls up for swim lessons because I am deathly afraid of them drowning and want to feel better about my girls and water.  The very first day Camrie's class were walking to the step that you see her on and she couldn't reach as well as the rest of the class and was jumping up and down waving her arms and her face kept going under I jumped up and screamed at the boy in front of her and he turned around and grabbed her out of the water.  Talk about scary, I wanted to cry, I was shaking so bad I couldn't feed Hunter without getting it all over his face.  I called and complained and needless to say her teachers are being much more observant, and now they carry two children at a time over instead of having them walk.  How would that be, to have your child drown at swimming lessons? Geez! 
 Anyway, both girls are doing really good now.  They aren't pros, but they are trying new things, and feeling better about water.  They both love swim lessons, especially play time.
