Field Day and other randoms

So Kai had his first field day today!  I didn't take any pictures, I was too busy taking video for dad who couldn't be there.  So someday I'll figure out how to load those on my computer and show you, although I wouldn't hold your breath.  He didn't want to do some events....jump rope and hula hooping are apparently not his cup of tea.  The running and soccer sure were though!  He did great and we had so much fun.  Except Kennedi, who hated all of it.  So that was less than fun for both of us.
**************************************************
Speaking of Kennedi, as I'm typing this she is sitting next to me, smelling her feet.  Which is pretty weird. I'm SURE they do not smell like roses.
**************************************************
Mother's day was awesome!  Kai was so excited for me that it was mother's day...he kept disappearing through the day and would come up with a new surprise!  Chocolate and a gift card to Barnes and Noble were my gifts, here I come!
**************************************************
Kai loves Barbie movies.  It's pretty hysterical.  We had the missionaries over the other night for dinner and when Kai threw a fit because he couldn't watch it and had to wait (true story) the missionaries CRACKED UP.  Seriously.  We need to get this boy into sports FAST.
**************************************************
Cameron got a job!  That should probably have been it's own post, or at least higher up on this list.  Oh well.  He works for Western Medical selling back and knee braces to Medicare patients.  So far it's been pretty good, this is the end of his third week, we'll see if it works out long term.  A few things have to change!  For instance, I'd like him home before 8:30 at night....too much to ask?  Maybe.
**************************************************
Summer is almost here and we are all super excited!  It should mean awesome weather, lots of swimming with friends and hopefully our own new house!  Wish us luck.

See, random, right?  But then, that's me lately.  Pretty random.

Interesting Fact #1

about me.  When I am by myself picking out a movie, I base it on the music that I want to hear.

Weird, huh?

And maybe not that interesting.  Sorry for the misleading title.

Zoo Day!

My sister in law Rachel invited us out today for a zoo day.  It was a beautiful day and Kennedi's first real time at the zoo.  We had so much fun!  Thanks Rach and Jon!!

Kennedi's piggies.  Her hair is finally getting long enough...ish :)

We had fun with cousins and uncles 

We saw all sorts of animals...

Camels

Oh wait...here were the camels

Beautiful birds

The penguins were adorable

And giraffes are always one of my top faves

And the fierce grizzly was one of KiKi's favorites

But my absolute favorite today was the gorillas.  They came up right next to the glass and he looked straight at me.  I loved him and wanted to give him the biggest hug!

I wish the glass hadn't been so dirty and glaring, but they were the best I could get.  I loved that guy.  

The flowers were also beautiful everywhere..

And the piece de resistance...

It was a beautiful day full of fun and family.  I'll put a few pictures up tomorrow of my cute niece and the kiddos.  One of them involves a hippo.....

The Piano Guys

Watch this, love it.




Then spend two hours and watch all the rest of their videos.  Trust me.

Then make me cookies and send them to me as a thank you.

And while you're at it, you might as well get distracted by this guy....he's well worth it ;)



(That song is for you dad! Get better soon!)

Catching Up

It's been an interesting month or two.  I'm finally taking the time to update the ol' bliggity blog here...mostly because my parents are lacking reading material.  Sorry mom and dad!  Cameron has had a few job interviews this week so we are super hopeful that he'll get a job in the next few weeks and we'll be able to start getting on our own again!  I've been trying to keep myself as busy as I can while we're living here, so I got a part time job at Pottery Barn!  It's been SO fun, I love it so much.  We also joined a gym, so I've been learning how to work out!  Who knew it took so much work?!  I also have been working on a few projects!  One is this baby blanket I made for a friend's baby shower tomorrow night.  I am SO excited to give it to her, I hope she loves it!  It was my first attempt at a blanket like this, and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out!

Easter

I can't believe Easter has already come and gone.  Everything is just going so fast lately!  We had a good Easter.  Cameron's cousins came over and we had a yummy dinner and some fun.  Can't wait to hopefully host it at my own house next year!  We took the opportunity to take a few pictures of course!  Kennedi was more than willing, Kai fought it the whole time.  Then we dragged them all in for a family picture!  I just love my little family!

And there she goes.

Man, he is one handsome boy :)

One happy family

KiKi

Here's our little KiKi....we took a few pictures in UT, couldn't resist putting them up here.  Oh, and KiKi is what she calls herself, it's pretty funny.

We love our KiKi
