Sunshine

We have been needing to get out of the house after the rain and cold weather we have had. We played outside all day and LOVED it!

This was the first time I let Layne loose in the backyard. She went right for the dog's water and then the dirt. She was a happy little mess:)

Camo playing with the chalk she got for Valentine's Day. We drew our Family portrait. I am not artist. We all look really scary and Layne looks like a frog/boy!

When Dan got home they colored themselves with the green chalk. For the rest of the night they were Shrek and Princess Fiona!



Kissing her "Shrek"!

Our LOVEly day

We have had a great Valentine's Day!

It started out with home made crepes...yummy!

Then the dreaded present exchange. Yes I said dreaded! I have come to realize I am an awful present picker-outer!

Dan got the girls side walk chalk and a Tinker Bell coloring set and he got me tickets to the Josh Turner concert!!! YIPEE! Then he opened his present. I got him jumper cables. Doesn't that just scream I Love you more than anything else in the world! I know I need to work on it! Good thing he loves me anyway:)

Just some pictures from our day

Camdyn picked out new sparkle nail polish at the store yesterday.

She has been dying to use it.

She got everything ready and asked Dan to paint her nails.

I love the concentration on Dan's face:)

We have been busy this week. It seemed like right when Daniel walked in the door from work, I had to leave. It has been one thing after the other.

Daniel was in charge of the etiquette dinner for the youth in our ward. It was a lot of work but he did good and it turned out great!
We even got to play with the Hadlocks and make Valentine treats. Things probably won't be slowing down anytime soon. I just signed Camo up for Gymnastics! That should keep us busy:)

I had to add these last two pictures of Camo. She likes to 'work out' with me. For some reason she thinks she needs to work out in her undies...I however do not!:)

The other one is of her tucking in all of her babies. She has to do it everytime we leave the house. she gives them all a kiss and tells them to be good while she is gone:)

It took her 10 months but Layne is starting to have her own opinions about the way she thinks things should be!

She is still as sweet as ever but she has found a little bit of sass!

She has been cracking us up with the things she has been doing. She can now do a high pitch scream(I wonder were she learned that). But she only does it when she is happy! I took this picture after she tore through the cupbords and found the Milk Duds. She completely stuffed her face. She was in heaven!

"NO fail pie crust"

I strongly suggest they change the name!!

Yesterday I had some extra time. Layne was sleeping and Cam and I needed a little project. Why not make an apple pie for after dinner? I had bottled apples in the cupboard I have been wanting to use!

Make the dough, roll it out, dump in the apples and pop it in the oven. No more than 30 minuets start to finish. I have made pie before. We would have delicious pie for desert!

4 attempts and an hour and a half later, I was furious!

Cam even told me "it will be ok, don't cry."Doesn't that look like it would roll right out and make a delicious pastry? ha!

We ended up going to the store and buying pre-made crust!
Yes, I know. I can hear Aunt Tona nervously clearing her throat!

10 months today!

Just a quick update on Layne. Yesterday her first tooth broke through! She has been pretty miserable and still has 2 that are coming in.

She is still as smiley as ever!

Cam likes to get in her crib in the morning and play, Layne LOVES it!

She can pull herself up.

But she has only done it a couple of times.

She won't be taking off anytime soon.
