A big week for Camdyn

Cam has had a big week, it makes me feel like she is getting WAY to big!
She started pre-school! She says it is a 'real' school because last year she did joy school and so sometimes I was her teacher and she didn't think that was 'real pre-school'!
She went for 2 hours this morning and loved it!

Layne was so sad that she didn't get to go:(

so excited!!


She also went on the biggest adventure of her life
She went all the way to Fort Davis, TX with her dad and Grandpa to buy miniature cows!
1100 miles in 2 days. Grandpa said she did remarkably well!:)
She was so excited to go, but was a little worried that Daniel wouldn't know how to do her hair, so we packed her a hat:)

all ready to go

Daniel said she watched the Scripture movie of Nephi going to the Promised Land at least 5 times.

The mini's
Cam already loves them. I think it is so funny they actually got some, it should be fun to see how this turns out.

I took this picture when they got back to Eagar.
I think they had fun!

Last but not least she gave her first talk in Primary!
She was so excited when she found out and immediately told me she did not want any help!

I made up cards with pictures on them and she practiced and had the whole thing memorized!

But when Sunday morning came around she looked like this

She was so nervous she told me she didn't want to go to church at all!

She ended up being really excited to talk at the microphone and did really well!
She did need a little help from me remembering what to say, but I think it was only because everyone was looking at her!

She is such a good little girl. We are so proud of her!

little girls:)

For the most part these girls are the best of friends. They almost never fight and if they do it is usually Layne causing problems. But Cam gets so sad if I get after Layne and will usually take the blame. So cute!

They seem like they are getting so big. Cam has a job chart and she does great with it. Every morning she has to make her bed, brush her teeth and then there is a different chore for every day of the week. Right when she wakes up she asks what here job is and she usually just gets it done! She is a great helper.

here she is unloading the dishwasher
& making her bed

Layne is getting so big and is talking so good. She is sugar and spice for sure!

A couple of weeks ago I couldn't find Layne anywhere and Cam and I started looking. I was getting worried because she was just gone!
After some searching we found her asleep in the blanket closet!!!!
Now its her favorite spot when she is sleepy.

she loves painting her OWN toe nails! :)

And getting herself dressed!
love the shoes and the purse, but forgot the shirt! oops!

they love babies. they could take care of them all day
this day they were 'walking' their babies!

Love my girls:)

sherwood forest & Eagar Daze

It has been a busy, busy summer and I have done a horrible job of taking pictures! Here are a few pictures of some fun things we have been doing.


We went up to Sherwood Forest for a biscuits and gravy cook out.

******************************************************************

We also went to Eagar Daze. It was a lot of fun, but I didn't sign the girls up for any of the races. So next year that is a must!

again I did a really bad job of taking pictures.
Nate and Jen were there with their kids and Linde's kids all did races and I didn't take any of pictures of that:(

Nate climbing the pole.
He won the race we watched, but fell off from the top earlier during the day!

Sea World

We are having computer problems, so blogging has been slow going. I am finally blogging Sea World from July!

We bought 2 day tickets, We went the first day with the girls and then went back that night with out them and watched the Samu Show at night and rode the Atlantis roller coaster. We had so much fun we decided to bring the girls back the second night. Markee and Eric came the second night too but I didn't do a very good job taking pictures the second day.

Layne L-O-V-E-D the sea turtles!
She kept trying to kiss them through the glass. She picked out a stuffed turtle to bring home!

In front of the star fish pond.
they loved it because they could touch them

going in to the shark encounter

being polar bears, in a cave
The polar bear exhibit is my favorite, you can see them so close!

San Diego

We had a wonderful week at the beach this year. It's always so much fun, but this year both of my girls were the perfect age! Sand provides hours and hours of entertainment for a 2 & 4 year old.

Here come the pictures

Beach Babies!

They love it!

Getting ready for the "crazy submarine".

Cam didn't like it, that's 3 years running.





Snuggling and watching Dora in the beach house

they had the giggles!

Layne, Peyton and Cam

Eric cooked the most delicious food of the week! It took him all day to prepare!
