Utah trip part 1: The Cutlers

Well, the procrastination has finally caught up with me and I promised my sister I would update the blog. It has been quite some time since I have done that so I'm starting with our trip to Utah for Kellan and Tessa's wedding.

Sean reading with Grandma:


Sean and Aunt Karina. These two had a lot of fun together. There was a lot of silly faces, giggling, and a rock climbing trip during which Sean performed admirably for a six year old.


The kids enjoyed the wedding dinner:

Next up: Utah trip part 2!

Halloween

Quick holiday update (I don't have time for more).

This Halloween, Sean was Spiderman, and Cami was Swiper. They spent two hours trick or treating (1 hour with me and 1 hour with Bryant).

Happy Happy Birthday Sean dear!

This is the day of Sean's birthday, March 22nd. He got to open a couple of presents before Daddy got home, his favorite of which was a toy guitar. Here is the little rock star with his guitar and new guitar shirt:



Blowing out the candles on his birthday cake. The cake is supposed to be a blue Lego.


A few days later, at his birthday party, it's cake time again!


Opening presents. I think I see some blue frosting on some of those kids' faces!


Sean loved his birthday party. We're lucky to live in an area where so many of his buddies live nearby!

Happy Birthday to Cami

It has been a very long time since I have posted but my kids' birthdays are important enough events that I had to make a post. Cami turned two on March 3rd.

This is the night before, all decorated for the big day:


Cami wearing her party dress and shoes, playing with her new school bus:



Cami looking hungrily up at her birthday cupcake. There was also a matching star shaped cake.


Trying out the new pillow pet from Grandma:



This umbrella may very well have been her favorite present. She carries it around with her all over.


My little Cami is one cute two year old now! Looking forward to another great year with her.

Christmas pictures

The children were nestled all snug in their beds...


Time to open presents, sleepyhead!

Now that we have all held still for a Christmas morning photo, time to unleash the kids on the stockings!


Cami found her rocking chair:


Cami with her new doll stroller. Her favorite present though, is actually the Pooh Bear sippy cup she is holding in this picture. She calls it her "bup" (a combination of Pooh Bear and cup?) and has not put it down since she opened it on Christmas morning.


A new pair of Batman sunglasses from his Uncle Ricky was apparently just what Sean wanted.


The kids had a great Christmas. So did Bryant and I. It was a quiet Christmas, with just our family, but we had a lot of fun. They are still really enjoying their presents. And we are loving having a week with Bryant home from work! Merry Christmas to all our friends and family.

Snow!

We have had several days of snow already and it is only Thanksgiving! I may have to move to Florida. The kids enjoyed it though. We made snow angels and a snowman (of sorts) in the back yard.

Cami was very puzzled by all the white stuff on the ground. She mainly wanted to sit down in the snow and look at it.


Sean, on the other hand, preferred to play more actively in the snow. Here he is getting a snowball ready to throw at Mom.


Here is our lovely snowman.
