Making a come back?

So, I am posting my annual post! :) Ridiculous I know! So I am going to try and make an attempt to blog again. I know I have been a huge slacker. Here are some reasons:
1- I am pretty lazy. Blogging takes time. Whenever I get on here, I get distracted looking at everyone else's cute blogs (and their creativeness as well) and then by the time I think about working on my own, have no energy left.

and B (little inside joke in case Kim reads this) - I'm on the computer all day at work. Usually when I get home I just check my email and that is about it.

3- We don't take pictures. We are kind of bad about doing that. Why? Good question. I will get back to you if I find an answer. Plus, we don't do much. Cam is pretty busy with school, and I am just boring.

Well, sounds like some legitimate reasons right? Okay! I know! I guess I have no excuse. So, I will try and catch you up on the last 6 or so months.

November and December:

Both had birthdays. One year older and wiser too? :) Cam turned the big 2-8 and I turned the big 2-6. Crazy huh! On Cam's birthday I made some sugar cookies (our favorite treat) and bought some little candies so I could spell out happy birthday. Well, Cam loves those candies and so he ate half of the words before I could put them on the cookies. So, I just put his name on them!






We had Thanksgiving over at a cousin's home. They live here in Oregon. It was so nice of them to invite us! They are so much fun!

Went home for Christmas! Missed our flights which would take a whole additional post to explain! It was pretty traumatic at that moment but luckily our prayers were answered and we found an extremely kind lady who helped us get a flight the next morning. We had a lot of fun! We have the best families! Pictures: Cam's cute niece on her new toy at his house and chilling at my family's house in the other.



Jan - now:

Went to the coast and took a little hike. We didn't go very far, but the view was awesome! The Oregon coast is amazing!




Easter! I made Cam decorate eggs. It was really nice to have conference over Easter. How much I need that uplift that conference brings! It truly blesses my life!



Went to a Blazers game! It was so fun! We had awesome seats too! Believe it or not, our home teacher gave us the tickets! What a guy huh?! He was going out of town and couldn't use them and so he just gave them to us! Thanks again Shawn!



Umm...I am having a baby! Just thought I should probably announce that so if you see me you won't be surprised. Here are two pictures. I am due in July. In the one I am 26 weeks; i think. The other I am 30 weeks. I put one of Cam's attempted belly in there too. I love the shirt tucked in! We are excited! Actually, I am getting a bit nervous to be honest! I know nothing about having or taking care of a child! I have always been pregnancy illiterate for one. For example, when people would tell me how many weeks they were I would have to try and do the math in my head (okay, if they are 28 weeks...there are about 4 weeks in a month...28 divided by four...). When anyone would mention terms such as uterus, trimester, etc., I would just pretend like I knew what they were talking about. Also, holding babies when they are really little scares me! They are so little! I won't even go into the other things that worry me! Does it come instinctively? Here's hoping!

The thing that really scares me is the responsibility of teaching them. What a huge responsibility! I hope and pray I can teach him well.





Cam just finished up his didactic year and is starting clinical rotations. Here is a cute picture of him at an elementary school. Their group got to go and educate the students on the effects of smoking. He is currently (just arrived today) in New Mexico for his first rotation (surgery). Crazy! I am still in Oregon at the moment. I miss him already! So does the kitty! He thought it might be good to have her here with me but she is driving me crazy! She loves Cam and is lost without him! She follows me everywhere! I feel lost without him too! He is a pretty amazing husband! He is renting a room in the bishop's home. They are an extremely generous family and we feel really blessed to have found that option. I think they are even going to feed Cam dinner (Which is more than he got here! He was usually the dinner maker!). We have been a little stressed with all these changes coming and decisions, but I can say that our Heavenly Father does hear our prayers and is mindful of us and our worries! I am so grateful to know that we all have a loving Father in Heaven and Savior. We feel very blessed!


Well, like I said I will try and make a come back. I can't make any promises, but I will try and be better than posting only every six months! Hope all of you are doing well! We miss you!
