Here he is folks, for those of you that don't do the facebook thing, then the blog will have to do. We will certainly write more later, but for now lets just tease you with some pictures and some brief info:

what appear to be blue eyes...
If anyone needs a new lullaby to sing to their children at night, here is mine and Kamryn's favorite. No matter what songs we sing, we always end with this one. They only had a sing along version, but this way you can memorize the words. :-) Gotta love this super nanny!
This belly is as big as it's going to get. If my doctor has predicted correctly, I'll be having this baby in less than a week. Let's pray she is right, because I'm feeling pretty cooked and I'm ready to see this baby boy we've been waiting for! Hopefully, my next post will be pictures of Logan. :-)
I am the proud wife of this good looking guy who, last weekend, was inducted into the Whitehead Leadership Society at the University of Redlands. His classmates were asked to nominate one person from their class to receive this honor and Jason was their top pick. I think it is pretty cool and though the name of the society leaves something to be desired, I'm proud that my husband has displayed the qualities that make him a leader in our society. :-)
It was a special Easter Sunday this year. Our new niece, Hailey, was blessed that day in my sister's ward and Jason and I were glad we could be apart of it. How cute is she?
This was the first year that I think Kamryn was really involved in coloring the eggs. One of Kamryn's favorite things to eat and cook with Mommy and Daddy are eggs, so I think she enjoyed this new way to enjoy the wonderful egg.
I love this picture of Kamryn and her Daddy! And yes, there was a shirt change. I decided this blue shirt was more ok to get dirty then the previous shirt. She looks cute either way! :-)
She loved watching the tablets fizz and turn into color when the vinegar and water was added. It's like magic.
This last week, I found myself perusing a friend's blog after finding out he bought a home. This isn't one of the normal blogs I always look at since most of his postings are over my head, intellectually but I wanted to check out the home he had bought. As I kept scrolling down, I found some poems he had posted that he had written years ago, back in the Claremont singles ward days. I loved those days and that's when he and I were good friends and hung out frequently. I remembered driving down with him to meet up with some friends to go camping and on that drive, he introduced me to a band I had heard of, but never paid much attention to. They have now become one of my favorite bands and even Jason will tell you that they are one of those few bands who can calm me down and put me in a great mood. This song is always played in the car when its a beautiful day outside. I love her voice! Try not to like it, I dare you.
A couple weeks ago, I was able to attend my friend's sealing in the Los Angeles Temple. Jason was wonderful and watched Kamryn while I went in and witnessed the sealing (which, of course, was lovely to be apart of. (Courtney, that words for you). :-) I don't think Jason had too much trouble though. It seemed like Kamryn was pretty entertained playing and running around the temple grounds.
Here is the happy couple and I love Courtney's dress. She had it made and she looks gorgeous in it. I had a great time at the wedding and at the reception. She had a Live Karaoke Band, which was a big hit. Any other time, I would have jumped up and rocked out...but I was feeling a little awkward with my belly. Wasn't feeling cute enough to be a rocker. (and feeling a little chubby). Maybe another time. I was just glad to be there, hanging out with friends, eating delicious food and celebrating the night away!
Years ago, a song was dedicated to me by a guy (his name was Ken) that I "denied." We had been out on a date and when we got to my house, still sitting in my car, he leaned in for the kill. What he got was my cheek. I hadn't kissed a boy yet, at that time, and I knew he wasn't the one to be my first kiss. He seemed a little taken aback and a tad bitter, so he dedicated this song to me. It happened to be in my cd player at the time and he thought it was the perfect song to describe my cold heart. Whenever Jason hears it, he likes the fact that he was the one who "reined me in."
P.S. Don't forget to press pause on our playlist player so you don't hear two songs.
Just thought I'd throw up some pictures of this fabulous baby shower I was thrown by three of my very close friends. Everyone had a great time and it was just fun to be surrounded by friends and family. Thanks to all who contributed and came. It meant the world to me.
After owning it for over a year, Kamryn finally requested that she be able to watch "da pig movie." So, I busted out "Charlotte's Web" (the cartoon version, not the version where Julia Roberts is shaped as a spider, trying to pass off as Charlotte) and Kamryn loved it. She now watches it each morning when she wakes up and I catch glimpses of it along the way. I forgot how much I loved that movie as a kid and how much I loved the music from that movie. So, for your hearing pleasure, I'm posting my favorite song from this movie. Enjoy!
It's been a few weeks now, but Kamryn has been a big girl bed and she is very excited about it. I have cuter sheets on it now, but haven't taken a picture of it yet all nice and cute. Those will come later. I love this bed and I love that Kamryn slept in it the very first night we built it. It took her no adjusting at all. :-)
You'll notice the drawers in the bed are still missing. There were some minor adjustments that still needed to be made to get those in so those were finished the following day. I'll get the complete look picture up soon.
I am the first to admit that I am copying this idea from another blogger, Angie. But I love the idea so much I can't help myself. So, this week is simple enough. One of the greatest love songs from one of the greatest 80's movies. Enjoy!
Singing and playdoh....she can do it all! (Sorry you have to hear me too. I'll try to post more videos later of her singing by herself. Much more enjoyable).
"I Love to see the Temple"
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"
If you had an Uncle Dave, you'd rather play "Star Wars" too then have a tea party. :-)
We drove down to my sister's house to meet their new addition, Hailey. Isn't she beautiful?
