It's officially summer! Cameron survived finals and his first year of Pharmacy school! Woot woot! I feel like that year really flew by...which is fabulous! Three more to go! We sent dad and his pharmacy class a little good luck note via facebook!
I can't get enough to those sweet blues!!!
Laila and I just got back from a two week trip to Utah - the longest Cam and I have been apart. I love Utah so much! It has always been a home away from home, if I could have flown Cameron out to meet us I am not sure I would have left! But I am glad to be back in my own bed!
We had a busy two weeks! We crammed in a baby-shower, a bridal-shower, a temple trip for Miss Alissa, a family reunion, a birthday Luau, the drive-in, Cafe Rio x 3, a mission farewll, and not nearly enough time to visit with family and friends! Can't wait to go back in 3 weeks for Dallen's wedding! Although this time we will be driving, first time with Laila - not sure if I am looking forward to that or not! Oh well, bring it on! She's becoming our little traveler!
Laila and Lala at PDX! It was SO nice to have an extra set of hands going through the airport! Thank you Lala! You know, this trip really solidified how grateful I am to not be a single parent!
Exploring the Hoogle Zoo !

At Bountiful temple
This is the cutest, happiest little boy! I am so glad we were able to spend some time with this little Ham and his mama! I hope someday soon we will live much closer together so we can take trips together more often!
These poor kiddos spent a lot of time in the car-seats! :) But I think Laila is finally warming up to hers !
My sweet baby girl with her big blue-bug eyes! Love it!
Cori is expecting her baby girl this September! So excited for her! She is going to be the cutest mama! Its fun thinking what lies before her is what we have just moved on from...it makes me so excited for their cute growing family!
Fun in the sun! Laila absolutely loved the pool! Just like her mom! Made me so happy! She was just laughing the entire time! Until she crashed for an afternoon nap in the sun! I told Cameron that after 6 years of teaching other children how to swim I am determined to teach my child how to swim so that she will be cruising around the deep end by 2! We shall see! The requires lots of pool time....
This was Laila's pal through the whole trip! Her little doll, who inherits a new name every time I pick her up, kept little bug company each time with hopped in the car. This was too sweet! Holding hands!
Laila Joan with Grammy! This is her name sake! Grandma Joan!! An extraordinary woman! Grandma has always impressed me with her self-less and always-serving attitude. She lives a higher-law, always giving and concerned with those around her. To this day, Grandma's house is one of my favorite places in the world!
Luau! Alissa's, oh dear, I hope I am not over guessing - 27th birthday party! Eek...maybe 26th... no I think 27. Oh I am so sorry Alissa. Well, nonetheless, she sure knows how to throw a party! Complete with costumes, a snow-cone machine, enough food to feed 100+, hula dancers, fire dancers, and Hawaiian decorations and music to boot! So much fun! And so hot! (We planned our Utah excursion just in time for the crazy hot heat wave! 105 ?! No thank you! )
Cousins! When the two of them were on the ground together, Jack loved to come up and grab Laila's head. His intention was finding a really nice, soft spot to dig is two little teeth into and drown with slober. Often this little stunt would leave Laila in tears. He would then promptly give her a nice wet kiss! Such a sweetie! I can't wait for them to be a little older and become little buddies!
I found my toes...much to dad's dismay! :) Ha! (If anyone knows Cameron well enough, they know about his little foot phobia. Not sure how or when this started because I have seen baby and childhood pictures of a skinny , ya not much has changed, little, bare-foot Cameron. But there is NO WAY you would see him barefoot now!!!!!!! In fact, I tease him about this all the time, but when we were dating we took a trip out to the Oregon Coast line. He kept his socks on the entire time we walked along the sand and played in the water. Actually, this was before we were dating, just friends at the time. Obviously it wasn't his cute pinkie toe that had won me over - I really rarely see it! What a weird kid!? I remember after we were dating for a while, Cameron's dad came out to Utah to visit him and his sister. After spending a week or so with us, he asked Cameron if he was sure he was into me and could handle me with my lack of covering my feet. He pointed out that for the entire duration he had been there he hadn't seen me with more than flip flops on my feet! And for the most part I was running around barefoot! Even with his socks on, buried in the sand, Cam's still the cutest! I love my foot-phobia man! And you know, he has the softest feet of anyone I know!)
