Friend Time...

My goal was to get all caught up with this blog before Brian and I go out of town on Sunday. We leave EARLY EARLY morning on Sunday, and we are going to HAWAII!!! I'm so excited...I have never been there. I actually earned this trip through the Stampin' Up! stuff I do and it's going to be a BLAST!!! Anyway: after this post I am JUST ABOUT caught up. I have a few more pics from this week and our trip to the zoo today that are on my camera that I need to upload, but YEAH!!! So last Saturday I had a GREAT day! My good friend Tara, a college roommate, took me out to lunch and movie for my birthday. It was SO GREAT and we had a BLAST!!!! (WHY DID WE NOT GET A PIC DEAR TARA?!) Then when we got back, a friend of Brian's from college and his wife and son surprised us by stopping by. We have all became good friends, and we hadn't seen them in SO LONG! So it was great to see them and get caught up. They just had their first baby a few months ago and he is SO CUTE! We're so glad we got to meet him!!! Kylie was IN LOVE with him!!!! She even got to hold him...
How cute are they both?! :)

Love it!!

My precious baby girl...(just got a new camera and still trying to learn it so sorry for the blur!)

The cute family with a little addition. :)

Father and son

LOOK AT THIS SWEETHEART! Sorry it's a bit blurry! Thanks guys for a fun Saturday!

Road Trip Buddy....

Kylie and I recently returned from our FIRST ROAD TRIP together as Mommy and Daughter team. My mom recently had surgery, so we went out there for a bit to help my parents out. Brian had to work and I was too cheap to get him a plane ticket back to Utah so he could help me drive. So Kylie and I journeyed across the HORRID road of I-80 through Wyoming to get to Grandma and Grandpa Brown's house. I was really worried because Kylie can be very high maintenance. But we made it and actually had a good time. At one point...yes...I got a bit stir crazy. Anyone that has traveled with me for a long road trip knows I can get a bit antsy. (And that's probably an understatement.) But Kylie handled me just fine. :) At one point in the journey I decided to document this trip. Here's my sweet Kylie...

Then the "self-portrait" trying to get us both in! :) ...

Then on our way home we stopped at the famous Rawlins McDonald's. Seriously....ANYTHING you have here is so yummy. :) (Maybe it's because you are SO SO bored with the road and just want to do ANYTHING but drive it tastes so good. :) ) So here is my sweet baby eating her yummy lunch...

We had a great time in CO with Grandma and Grandpa. I didn't get any pictures though!!!! It was good to be out there and get to help them out. The time flew, and we miss them lots!

Girly Girl Time...

When my parents were out visiting in February, Kylie and Grandma Brown had some fun playing. Kylie is SUCH a girl most times. : ) She LOVES jewelry and make-up. So Grandma let her play with hers. Such precious moments.


Gotta love that face! :)

Having Some Fun With Toys...

Catching up some more....another day in February....

How cute is this girl?! I had my camera out and she wanted me to take her picture. How could I resist? :) Then she needed a picture of some things she loves.....

Her plastic doll with her bathtub...

And her rocket! All her "friends" are in their proper place inside and she LOVES this toy! She has played with this for hours and hours and often has to take her "friends" to bed with her. :)

I love you Kylie! :)

Daddy/Daughter Time...

Still playing catch up. :) I caught this wonderful moment in February. :) I love watching Kylie and Daddy interact. If Brian is around....Kylie CLINGS to him most times. It's so cute. Here they are enjoying some books...


Then we tried to get a self family portrait. :) Hey...it's the thought that counts, right? Not necessarily the outcome. :)

We Miss You Camer...

I should have posted these photos before I posted the ones with Cameron (although we now call him Camer since that is what Kylie calls him) at the Missionary Training Center. These are a few shots of Camer's last days before he headed out on his mission. WE MISS YOU CAMER!!! We are proud of you and excited for you, but we miss your smiley face!

Camer with his Mommas!
Camer with his oldest brother, Brandon, and Daddy! Can you tell they are related?! :)

A more casual shot of these three.

Camer with Leah, Brandon's wife, and one of their DARLING sons, Crae!

Camser with his oldest neice...Lexy. So cute!

Update on Camer and his mission: he really is doing great! He's adjusting so well and seems really happy. If any of you want to write him a letter...just let me know and I can send you his address. He is very faithful at writing letters (he emails most but we've already gotten a few letters from him) and I'm sure he'd love to hear from anyone from home! :)

It's SWEET time!!!

My ever impressive cousin (well, my cousin's wife....but we're cousins! :) ) just opened up a cupcake bakery in Provo, UT. She's had a website for a long time now where she sold her baked goods and let me just say....she does AMAZING things! They look good, taste INCREDIBLE and I'm just so impressed with her. Her amazing "cake bites" have even been featured on the Rachel Ray show. ANYWAY....her website is: www.thesweettoothfairy.com if you want to check them out. I highly recommend ordering some cupcakes and having them shipped right to your house. You'll be amazed! :) We were in Chicago for her cupcake shop big grand opening, so when we were in Provo taking Cams to the MTC....I had to go by to say hello and check things out. Her store is SO CUTE and the treats are so yummy. Kylie waited so patiently for her cupcake (they are a busy store!) and here she is devouring her well earned treat....
Had to take a break after eating most of the frosting...

I just can't even stand it...Kylie is just so cute! :) (Sorry for the gush for a moment.) Thanks Megan for opening this store so we can get your treats whenever we want! :) GOOD LUCK and love you lots!
