My sweet Little Lydia bug was in the hospital for 6 days...she had to get a g-tube, a feeding tube in her tummy because she has been having feeding issues. Here she is the day after surgery wondering what the heck is going on!

Lydia with her tube...my tiny little girl is 9 months now...she weighs 12lbs 13oz and is 25 inches long...she is still not on the charts...but you know what they say...good things come in small packages!!

Catching Up!

2012-01-09T07:00:00.001-08:00

Brittany made us these fun things for Thanksgiving....the thankful jar! Everyday you pulled a piece of paper out that said something you were grateful for...your neighbors, your eyes, your grandparents, your feet...etc so then Cameron and I would get to do something to show how we were thankful for them!! Here we baked our neighbors Pumpkin muffins to show them we are grateful for them!! Thanks Britt, we had so much doing them everyday!Polar Express...November 19th!All the cute kids...minus Lydia, My dad and Syliva were nice enough to keep her overnight so we wouldn't have to bring her to the cold!

Cameron had so much fun on the train!

Lydias first time in her saucer...still needs some help with the head control! Were still working on it!Halloween 2011The gang!! The Monroe group were all the cutest pirates ever and the Kellys were the cutest superheros ever! Cameron and Lydia were cookie and cookie monster...Lydia was sleeping when this picture was taken and right after Cameron took his costume off and said it was too hot! So luckily I had a skeleton tshirt on underneath so Cameron went trick or treating as a skeleton. He ran with Abby and her cousins to every house! He wanted to keep up with the big kids!

Camerons 3rd birthday party! It was baseball themed! We had a lot of fun with his baseball bounce house, making pennants and eating baseball cupcakes! Cameron's birthday is the last one of like 7, so starting in July with Lincolns party he kept asking for his! So needless to say when it was finally his party he had so much fun!!

Look at all those presents! He was like a tornado opening them!

The kids on the baseball bounce house with what else...baseballs!

Cameron's fun desserts! Cupcakes and a cookie cake!! Happy Birthday Cameron!

Summer fun

2011-08-27T13:40:00.000-07:00

Cameron was having fun with the neighbor boys with the wiggly worm sprinkler I had to take pictures but they turned out kind of blurry! Oh well he still had a lot of fun!

4 months

2011-08-06T09:49:00.000-07:00

Lydia top at 4 months, Cameron bottom at 4 months.

Lydia at 4 months weighs 9lbs 1oz and was 21 and 3/4" tall. She is in the less than 5th percentile. She has been smiling alot though and loves when people look and talk to her directly. She still wont take her pacifier but loves to suck on her hands. She sleeps anywhere bn 6 and 9 hours at night. She loves when stuff is going on around her that she can look at...its a good thing we have Cameron and hes so active!

Cameron at 4 months weighed 15lbs and was 25 1/2" tall. Ryan doesn't think we should compare them at 4 months since she was a month early!! Either way they are both way cute!

Cameron and Lydia

2011-07-16T09:50:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures we had taken of Cameron and Lydia! So even though Camerons closer to 3 then 2 these are his 2 year old pics...we tried taking them when he first turned 2 but he threw such a fit we had to leave the studio! Lydia is 3 months old! our 2 little rock and roll kids! Love that smile!! Cameron is a very very very very active 2 year old! He sometimes is hard to keep up with! He likes to get into everything, help mom do things and tickle his sister! He can say quite a few works and knows the main colors and quite a few shapes! He loves playing with his cousins and asks for them daily! Cameron is a great older brother who is constantly asking to help with Lydia and when shes not in the room hes worried about her!

Loves his sweet sister, I think shes not that sure about him!

Love our little Lydybug! Lydia is 3 months old (everyone still asks me...oh shes so small how many days old is she!) she weighs 7lb 15 oz! and is 20 1/4" tall. Believe its taken alot for her to get here so we are so proud of her! She has trouble with regular formula and aspirating it into her lungs so we have to thicken it with rice cereal! Its so thick its like drinking straight rice cereal from a bottle! But its working for her and shes finally getting bigger! She can roll over from her tummy to her back when shes throwing a big enought fit (even with her club feet braces!) She smiles at mom, dad, and Cameron every once in a while! She sleeps really good for her size! She sleeps bn 6 and 1/2 to 8 hours everynight! (which makes me happy since I had to go back to work this week!) For average babies she is in less than 5th percentile so we have to keep working with her!

Look at how good her club feet look (almost like normal baby feet!)

Some days they are alot of work

Some days they are easy

but we still love them to pieces!

Friday us and Britt and her kids went swimming at Basha High school! They have a fun little kid area where they can run around and swim but its not very deep so its just perfect! They had such fun time except for the wind which left Cameron and Kinsley shivering! The boys splashing!

SUch a fun slide!

Kinsley was cold so she wanted to be bundled!

Fun!

I love my two boys!

I love that its April (well now May!) and we have such beautiful days outside! Thanks guys that was fun!

Lydia Rose Jones

2011-04-27T10:57:00.000-07:00

Our sweet baby girl Lydia was born! She was born 04-19-2011 at 8:39am. She weighed 3lbs 12oz and was 15 and 1/2 inches long. We only got to see her for a minute bc they took her to a special nursery to do tests and make sure she was ok. She was 4 weeks early and so small! The whole pregnancy they have been worried about her being to small. Around 18 to 30 weeks my amniotic fluid was to low and they were worried about her making it. After a lot of prayers and my whole family fasting for me my amniotic fliud finally went up! She was still to small, so at 32 weeks the Special Perinatal place that my OB's office was sending me to decided I needed to be seen 2 times a week. Mondays were ultra sounds to track babys growth and Thursdays were at my regular Ob office for Non stress testing to make sure the baby wasn't in distress. I went in Monday 04-18-2011 to my regular Monday Dr. appt. It was Camerons first day of daycare and Ryans first day at his new job! The Dr. said she hadn't grown hardly at all in the last 3 and 1/2 weeks. So he was recommending I go on bedrest and that I deliever the baby in the next 3 days. He said she could get more nourishment and care if she was out then apparently I was giving her in. So I called Ryan and told him they were putting me on bedrest. 45 minutes later my regular OB called and said the hospital was waiting for me I needed to get down there so they could deliever my baby! I wasn't ready at all! I did have Lydias bag packed (not that I needed it!) So I came home and was a whirlwind trying to get my stuff together and Camerons stuff together! I only forgot a few things...thank you Braden! I got to the hospital at 10am and they immediately put the baby on monitors. The nurse told me alot of preemie babies get in distress during delievery and they needed to be able to watch her. They wanted me to have a normal delievery but if she was in to much distress they would take her c-section if they had too. After a few hours they gave me something to help put me in to labor. That was supposed to last 12 hours and then after that they would check to see how far along I was. 12 hours later I was only a 4!! They finally gave me my epidural...off and on throughout the night the baby was in distress and they were close to taking her c-section a couple of times. My contractions were causing her the distress so they gave me a shot to try and slow them down...At like 745 am I was at like a 7. Around 820 I told the nurse ok I feel a ton of pressure and she was like well we just checked you but the Dr. walked in right then and shes all lets see, ya looks like this baby is ready to come. She was still in her regular clothes. So they all start running around trying to get the delievery stuff together. THe Dr. is throwing on her scrubs as fast as she can. Their all scrambling trying to get the nursery nurses in there and Ryans next to me I toldhim if they didn't come and deliever the baby I was going to do it myself! So the nurse is all shes having a contraction and the Dr. says ok push (well it was a 3lb baby so it wasn't like she was hard to push out!) THe Dr. only had one glove on so the nurse had to help her catch Lydia! Ha. Britt and Mom were there this is what they were texting people. Ok the Dr is here she is pushing....next second ok shes here! Ha she was ready to be born! SHes been in special care nursery for a week and 1 day now. They said she can come home after shes eating a certain amount of food. They had to put a feeding tube in yesturday bc she was having a hard time sucking, breathing and swallowing all at the same time. They said she shes just needs to practice and her being early it was something she just needed to learn and mature at. Shes passed every test theyve given her! SHe has been in an isolet to help regulate her tempature bc preemie babies have a hard time doing that, Tuesday they took her off the tempature probes bc she was doing fine regulating it herself! Her heart is good, her lungs are good so are her eyes! They think she was so small because my placenta wasn't giving her 100% nourishment it was blocking some of it that was supposed to be going to her.
We love our little small bundle of joy and we can't wait till she gets to come home so we can hurry and fatten her up! She has the cutest little cry almost like a kitten! The Dr. said she does have 2 club feet (you can see them in this picture) He said it was probably cause by the amniotic fluid being so low and not having a proper place to grow. But at least that is fixable! We love our little miracle baby and appreciate all the the prayers and fasting everyone did to get her to us! We love you all. We also want to thank Britt, Mom, and Chad for taking care of Cameron for us! She has the sweetest little face!

I look a fright! Look how sweet she looks! So little!

Proud daddy! She is going to have him wrapped around her tiny little fingers!

Lindsay brought over some pictures that Macie, Tate, and Ty mad for Lydia! She has the best dressed isolet in the place! Thanks guys! Lydia can't wait to meet all her cousins!

Goldfield Ghost Town

2010-11-29T19:06:00.000-08:00

On Saturday we all went to the Goldfied Ghost Town in Apache Junction! The kids loved running around and playing and then we took them on the train which they loved and Lincoln and Cameron said Choo Choo the whole time and loved it when the conductor blew the whistle! Afterwards we all went to eat except Bobs family who left to see Harry Potter, bc it was Harry Bob and Lindsay, we forgive you! It was a fun day getting to see all the grandkids play together even Baby Ty!

The kids in a cage, where sometimes they belong!

What a fun day!!

To Infinity and Beyond!

2010-11-22T19:42:00.000-08:00

I have been a slacker at posting lately, but most of it is Camerons fault (like how I blame the 2 year old!) He has been such a stinker with taking pictues, he will absoultely not look at you when you have the camera out. He'll be all cute one minute and the next you take the camera out and bam he's either running away or he'll look the other way! We took him to a studio to take his 2 year old picture and he was so dang stubborn we didn't one good picture! (That is the reason we still have no 2 year old pictures of him!) We are going to try again in a few weeks with my whole family! So Cameron has been watching Toy Story over and over and he loves Buzz! He has these new pjs and he loves them! He runs around making whoosh noise, guess thats what he thinks Buzz does! Then he'll stop and point to himself and say Buzz! So it took me about 20 minutes of snapping pics before I got one of him at least looking in my direction...there not the best pictures but at least you can see his cute Buzz pajamas!!
This one I jumped from around the corner, thats why it's kindof blurry! Ha!

This was please mom no more pictures! How sad out of like 50 I got one!! Oh well we still love our little Buzz Lightyear!!

Im it!

Cameron's Birthday party!

2010-10-17T19:35:00.000-07:00

Saturday was Cameron's Farm Themed Birthday Party! It was superfun! Here is the kids with there little pig noses! A few of them didn't want to wear them!!

Cameron about to eat his cupcake! He had so much fun! He only ate the frosting....just like a Tarwater!

We got a petting zoo for the kids to play with, Cameron is a huge animal lover (he didn't get that from my side of the family!)

The kids and some of the adults loved it!

Here are the fun desserts Ryan and I made for his party!

Ryan was the engineer on the project!

We had a super fun day! Thank you so much everyone for all the work and effort you put into making this such a fun and special day for Cameron and for me! We love you all! Thanks for everyone that came!

My little boy turns two!!!

2010-10-11T06:39:00.000-07:00

Today is Camerons 2nd Birthday! Can't believe its been 2 years since he was born! He is so specail to us and we feel so blessed to have him in our lives! He is getting to be so big and stubborn he wants to do everything himself! He can say quite a few words and sentences. My favorite are bye see ya later, lovey where are you (thats his blanket!) I love you, and Yay Lincoln! He climbs on everything! And loves to run away from you, mostly towards the street. He loves playing with kids, but I think Lincoln might be his favorite with Macie and Tate being a close second! Last Sunday Him and Licoln were playing outside and Tate and Macie showed up and he wouldn't leave them alone until he had there shoes on and they were playing outside with him! He loves anything dessert and I think would rather eat that all day then regular food! HIs favorite cartoon is curious George and his favorite movie are the Toy Storys. He loves animals (must have got that from Ryan!) He loves his mommy and daddy! We love our little blue eyed boy! Here are some pictures from birth to 2! In this picture Lincoln was exactly 10 pounds and 3 months older than Cameron and already best friends!

Cutest Santa ever!

Look at all that brown hair!

Love the dimples!

Happy Birthday Cameron, we love you so much!!!!

Happy Birthday Ryan!

The past 4 days Cameron has a fever. We took him to the doctor, he said he either has the flu or a virus...well thanks for narrowing that down for us! He has been whinny and not sleeping! No fun, I think last night he woke up every hour! Yay for us! Last night I decided when I was a kid and I was sick I like popsicles. So we gave Cameron his first firecracker popsicle! He loved it! I think it may have even helped him a feel a little better! (well for like and hour!) Poor little guy...hope he starts feeling better soon.

This is his...oh no the popsicles gone!

Cousin Fun!

2010-08-15T07:18:00.001-07:00

Bob and Lindsay, Britt and Chad, Ryan and I, and my mom all had dinner at my house on Saturday. The kids all have so much fun running around and playing. We did have a few mishaps (sorry Macie!) but other than that the kids had so much fun! I told Cameron a half hour before they got there they were coming and he was so exicted he kept yelling yea! yea!! I was trying to clean and he was trying to help me, maybe he thought that would mean they would get there faster!! Love all those sweet kids!! Macie, Lincoln, Cameron, and Tate!

Im sorry for being such a slacker lately at blogging! Between work and Cameron being sick I feel like I have no time! Here are some cute pictures of Cameron sorry about the quality the room was dark! He is such a cutie just chilling in moms sunglasses! Look at the arms behind his head!

Ha what a cutie! So the other day I get home from work and theres one of my recipe books scribbled on all over with black magic marker. I come in further and see some on the floor. I see Ryan and say what else did he get, he points to the computer desk...not so bad. I said what got it the worst? He yells for Cameron to come in the room and my little artist walks in and had colored with black magic marker ALL over his feet! They looked black. Ha what are you going to do!

Happy 3 years Anniversary Ryan!

18 months

2010-04-19T07:27:00.000-07:00

My cute little blonde boy is now 18 months! At his appointment he weighed 27 and 1/2 pounds (he went from being in the 40th percentile at 12 months to 70th percentile this time!) his height was still in the 75th percentile! He is so fun and smart! He is a little on the sassy side to! If you do something he doesn't like he sticks his finger at you (or the toy or whatever it is hes mad at) and yells gibbersh with a few don'ts or nos in it! Ha its so funny! He loves playing with his cousins and going to ammys house! We got him a new little pool for the backyard and he always wants to go play in it! Last time he didn't wait for Ryan to put his swimsuit on he just jumped in clothes on and all! He loves riding in the car with the window down so he can see everything and everywhere we go he says Hi to everyone! We love our little Cameron!

I love frosting Mom!!

2010-04-01T08:54:00.000-07:00

I was frosting a cake and Cameron kept grabbing my leg bc he wanted some, so I fianlly grabbed a small spoon and gave him a tiny little bit of chocolate frosting. He was being so good for a few minutes, too good, So I turned around to see what he was up to and this is what I got!! I just started laughing! I didn't even give him that much frosting! I don't think any made his mouth!

The Men in My life....

2010-02-16T07:37:00.000-08:00

There are lots of important men in my life...Ive decided to take the time and name them all because they all mean that much to me!!

Not in any particular order....

10. Andrew and Pat....the two Pharmacists I work with...nobody could ask for better bosses or friends! Today is Andrews birthday...Happy birthday Andrew!
9 &1/2. Bob Tarwater. Wonderful grandfather...shares his home every Sunday! Very unselfish! Tells great stories and gives wonderful advice. Thanks Pop, you mean alot to me!
9. Brad Jones (Ryans dad) He is such a good dad to Ryan and nobody could love their only grandchild more...whenever he comes to visit he loves being around Cameron!
8. Chuck Monroe..(my dad) hes pretty good as far as dads go! Hes pretty good to have around in an emergency! (retired Fireman!)
7. Chad Kelly....best brother in law...hands down. Ok hes my only one, but hes still a pretty good one! He is one hard worker, great cook, wonderful dad, and all around good guy!
6. Bob Monroe....tied for best brother ever! Hes in law school so hes always got our back! He is such a wonderful Priesthood leader, Father and Husband ever...Its my goal in life to be as good as Bob!
5. Braden Monroe (tied for best brother ever!) Don't know anyone who cares as much as Braden...hed give you the shirt of his back...but only if he likes you!!! Ha, Love you Braden. He is such a giver and makes the best sub sandwhichs ever, he is now working as a Manager of a Port O subs!
4. Tate Monore...Sweetest Nephew in the whole world....all you have to do is read Lindsays latest post...as some of you do not I will quote something from Lindsays Blog. "Tate usually gets in trouble in a classroom situation (ie preschool & primary) for hugging to much. It is never an issue of hitting or biting."
At grannys on Sunday Little Lexi walked up and he gave her a hug and said now my best friend is here! I love that sweet boy.
3. Little Lincoln Kelly...cutest and funniest Nephew in the whole world...He makes me smile! Cameron loves Lincoln so much and loves when we go to Amz to play with....he is always up to something! Im going to steal a story from Britts blog....."I had to go outback to some workers that were digging in the backyard. I left Lincoln inside for 3 minutes and when I came back in, Lincoln had the refridgerator open and had grabbed the gallon of milk and was trying to pour himself some more milk in his sippy cup." Ha that about sums up LIncoln...love that cute boy!
2. Cameron Jones....best son in the whole world!! He definetly lights up Ryan and my world. We just watch him and laugh at all the crazy things he does and says...his new favorite word is don't. Dont change his diaper, dont take his lovey (blanket) don't change the channel. He is so sweet, everyday when I open the door from work he comes running to me and jumps in my arms and gives me a big hug, while he pats me on the back. We feel so blessed!
1. Ryan Jones....what can I say..hes the love of my life, the father of my child, and the priesthood holder of our home. Don't know what Id do without him. He is such a sweet man. He loves Cameron so much and enjoys spending his days with him (most of the time!) He would do anything for us, and he usually does! He has made our new house a home. I love you Cuteness!

I love all the "men" in my life and they all mean so much to me! Thank you all for being so wonderful!

2010-02-09T18:59:00.000-08:00

Saturday morning we went over to Moms house. Chad and Mom made everyone a super yummy breakfast, (sausage, eggs, potatos, and the best pancakes ever!) Then we made Gingerbread houses. This was the first year everyone "cheated" and made the kits instead of graham crackers. We just knew with 4 kids running around this would be faster and easier! Although this was the first year Tate was happy and helped Lindsay and Bob!! It was super fun guys...love this tradition! Ryan setting up the structure!

Tates house definetly had the most candy! (mom in the background eating frosting...she said that is her favorite part, she fed Tate some and he said, ok Ive had enough frosting and just wanted to eat the candy! Then Ryan gave him a Christmas tree peep and he put it in his mouth and froze and we all laughed at his face so then he spit it out! Ha)

Ha this picture makes me laugh!!! Camerons new favorite thing to do is climb into his toy bucket...he climbs in and either gets stuck like this or he climbs in and plays for awhile just to realize he cant climb out! So then you have to go get him and then he just does it again!!! Im thankful for this cute little guy! Im also thankful for Ryan and family they all mean so much to me!!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!!

No Strike!!

2009-11-13T17:35:00.000-08:00

So this week was crazy!!! Most of you know I work for Safeway...and they have been having contract issues with the Union. Nobody could settle anything and the union was all ready to strike at 6pm today. Thank goodness, last night at 1:00 am they finally reached an agreeement! Thank goodness!! THe last strike they had lasted 5 months, I couldn't imagine not having a job for that long, Especially bc Ryan isn't working and the way the economy is! Thank you all that said prayers and kept your fingers crossed for us!!
Im going to borrow this quote Bob put on his facebook page that Pres. Uchtdorf said: "Work is an antidote for anxiety, an ointment for sorrow, and a doorway to possibility."
I have never been so excited to go to work!

His 1 year stats are

he weighs 22.85 lbs 50th percentile

he is 30 and 3/4 inches tall 75th percentile (must be a fluke!)

The day after Camerons birthday was my moms birthday. Deann and Steve threw a fun bbq for her, thanks guys that was really fun! The next day we kept on celebrating and all had a fun time going to a farm and decorating pumpkins and letting the kids run around! Plus they got to go on a hayride. What a fun week!!

My Little Baby is 1!!!!

2009-10-11T07:00:00.000-07:00

Today Cameron is ONE!!!! My little baby was born one year ago today! He is such a sweet smart little baby. Ryan and I were talking last night that he is (most of the time!) such a good listener. He has 5 teeth, he can say a few words. He can say ya, nono, dada, mama, and I swear the other day he said Elmo!! Maybe it was just me, but thats what it sounded like. His favorite thing though is to shake his head no! He is getting sooo good at walking! He does it everywhere he goes, he still falls alot, he always has lots of bumps on his cute little face.He is always scowling, I tell Ryan he must get that from him! He loves to imitate everything you do! Ryan was whistling, so of course Cameron has to try. We were shopping the other day and I picked up a ghost and made a ghost sound and Cameron tried to copy me! He loves to play in all the cubbards while you are cooking dinner. He has to pull all the pans out! Its cute but always makes for a extra cleanup! He is so sweet and we love him so much. His 1 year Doctor appt is tomorrow so I will put his stats down next time. We had his birthday part planned for last Friday, but since he was sick we had to move it till next week so I'll post pictures of that too! 1 year ago today we were blessed with the most wonderful child and we are so thankful to have him as our baby. We love you Cameron!!

Oh no they've got the swine...that's for you Britt!

2009-10-10T18:38:00.001-07:00

Last week Ryan and Cameron had the swine flu. Not fun!!! They were sick for about 6 days, but both of them are fine now...thank goodness. Cameron and I went out to Moms house last Sunday for conference with all the other kids. Luckily nobody else got it, I guess Cameron must have kept his germs to himself. (even though Cameron and Lincoln like to share sippy cups!) I took them to urgent care on Monday and he gave us the good news. They made Ryan wear a mask! Oh no!! Working in a pharmacy I can definetly tell you that this week alone we probably dispenced 20 presciptions of Tamiflu (the drug they are giving for the flu). Everybody has it!!! I am so thankful that Cameron and Ryan are better and that I never got it!!! I asked my friend Pat that I work with (hes the pharmacist) why do you think I never got the flu with Ryan sick and Cameron coughing and sneezing all over the place. He said, well I think someone out there knows that somebody has to take care of the sick, not everybody can be sick at once. It was very profound and very true! God knew that I needed to be well to take care of my two sick boys!

Ode to a Golf cart

2009-09-30T09:50:00.000-07:00

Golf Carts are so fun
kids never want to be done
take us again Chad,
If you wont, we'll be sad!

Ha Im such a dork! The kids love going for rides on the golf cart. Amz is number one at giving them rides...they love it! I took this picture right after Chad had been giving them all a ride for like 10 minutes!

This is Ryans cousin Cassies son Preston. We went to dinner at their house the other night and Cameron and Preston played so good together. Camerons almost one and Preston will be 2 in December. They got in this basket and played in it for 15 minutes. I was trying to get Cameron to get his pjs on but he was having to much fun! Thanks Cassie and Bradley it was a fun night!

Preston had so many toys, Cameron was in heaven!

One Exhausted little boy!

2009-09-21T21:30:00.000-07:00

So we moved this weekend...what a nightmare. Thank you Britt, Mom, and Chad for all the help moving and with Cameron couldn't have done it without you. Ryan and I are so exhausted from moving...man we have alot of crap! Iguess we wore Cameron out with all the moving too. Here he is after Ryan had just feed him. Ryan walked out to get something out of the car and he came back to this! Thanks Ryan for remebering I would want a picture! So cute! Don't worry after he took the picture he put him to bed!

11 months down....1 to go!

2009-09-11T09:18:00.000-07:00

Today Cameron is 11 months old! I can't believe my baby is almost 1 years old!!! He is getting so big. The last couple of days hes been trying to walk like crazy. I think the most he has done is like 8 steps and then he falls. Its so cute seeing him trying to learn!! He can say 4 words now. MaMa, Dada, ah oh, and nononono.....so cute! He went from having zero teeth at 10 and 1/2 months to having practically 3 (you can see them in the pic if you look closely!) with the top 2 looking about ready! His favorite things are mommy, daddy, lovey (his blankie) and sharing food with whoever is the closest! What a cute little boy we have! We love him soooo much!

Summer Days

2009-08-28T09:54:00.001-07:00

Cameron has had some really fun days this summer!
Here he is swinging at Grannys! (Ryan is pushing Riley in the background!) Swinging with my cousins Brock and Riley!

Ryan teasing Cameron! Cameron Loved it!

My cute boys!

We had another fun Summer day going to the zoo with Aunt Lindsay and Tate and Macie!

It was so cute watching Tate run back and forth thru the water he'd yell everytime! Ha so cute!

Cameron crawling in the little river they had at the swim pad at the zoo...It was pretty warm I think that half the people in the zoo were at the swim pad!

Trying to escape maybe?!

On a side note Cameron is finally getting teeth...he has one with the top of a second one! Finally some teeth! I tried taking a picture but of course he wouldn't let me! Next time!!!!

Cameron having toooo much fun!

2009-08-15T08:43:00.000-07:00

On Friday we went to the Phoenix Childrens Museum (thanks Britt and Chad for running all over to get the free tickets!) We went with The Kellys and The Meyers minus Caitlyn. We had so much fun watching the kids play. (and ryan playing too!) We can't wait to go back!Camerons favorite thing was the noodle forest! Ryan wishful thinking?!

The gang minus me and Britt...we were taking the pics!

Wednesday was my nephew Tates 3rd birthday! I had to work but Ryan sad it was super fun! I know this pic is kindof blurry but I thought it was so cute I had to use it!

Cameron wants to drive already...oh no!

WHat a fun week for Cameron!!!

10 months and counting!

2009-08-11T08:27:00.000-07:00

My little baby is 10 months today! Can't believe hes almost one!

Just wanted to show these, Cameron has the cutest little personality!!! Hes getting sooo big...still no teeth though!

Thanks to the Arizona HEAT!

2009-08-06T19:43:00.000-07:00

So the other day Ryan, Cameron and I ran to Target to get my nephew Tate a birthday present. We get out of Target, go to get in the car...it won't start. I look at Ryan and he says its the battery. SO we are debating what to do, I say, I don't have any jumper cables, he says your family lives to far away. So we ended up calling Jeramy bc he is staying at his dads for the summer and he lives only 2 miles away from the Target we were at. So Erin and Jearmy come to give us a jump. After sitting outside in the heat for 10 minutes and still nothing Erin and I decided to go into Target to cool off, Me having Cameron and her being way pregnant. SO Ryan calls us after 10 minutes and says it won't start. They were going to go home and just get us another car. So they come back, Erin and Jeramy leave (thanks Jeramy and Erin....even though it was super hot!) and Ryan is like Im just going to take the battery out and take it to Auto Zone and see what they say. We didn't want to buy a new one bc the car is barely 2 years old and we knew it should be under warranty. So we go to Auto Zone they say the battery is crap! We already knew that!!!!!! So Ryan doesn't want to leave my car in the Target parking lot....so we end up driving home...again and getting the battery out of Ryans other car and driving back to Target....again! Ryan shoves the battery in it (of course it didn't fit but that didn't stop Ryan!) the hood wouldn't close all the way but Ryans like whatever we only have to go less than 10 minutes! So he drives it home and thank goodness no problems! So needless to say the next morning it is so dead we can't jump it and we have to drive to the dealership with Ryans battery (man you should have seen the guys face! Ha priceless!) So we got a new battery and were all good to go! Only in AZ do you have to buy a new battery every couple of years!!! Thanks again Erin and Jeramy and Ryan for helping get my car to start! Also Thank you Cameron for being such a good baby even though it was waaaaayyyyyy past your bedtime!

Camerons new favorite thing

2009-08-02T15:25:00.000-07:00

Camerons new favorite thing is his blanket. We have about 10 little baby blankets and we think its funny because he picked the hottest one, the afghan. We try to trick him and give him one of the soft light ones and he wont have it, He loves it! He has become so cuddly with it and he actually likes to snuggle. He takes it everywhere with him...its so cute!

Mom with Macie and Cameron, they love their Ammy!

Last weekend was super fun! Friday night we went to Chuck E Cheese with Bob and Co and Mom! Cameron had so much fun (although I think Ryan had more!) Saturday we then went to the Phoenix Zoo. They were having Winter in July. They had mounds of snow (ok it was ice, prolly from the hockey arena...but whatever!) The kids got to play in it and watch as the animals played with it. I didn't actually get any pictures of that bc Cameron hated the snow/ice (must be like his mommy!)

Cameron and his new chair

2009-06-20T09:03:00.000-07:00

SO I was out taking a walk this morning in my neighborhood and one of my neighbors was having a garage sale. I saw this cute little blue chair...I asked the man how much he told me .50 cents! I said Ill take it! Cameron loves it! Its so cute! Who knew a 50 cent chair could entertain him so much!

2009-06-11T10:29:00.000-07:00

Cameron is 8 months old today! Its been such a fun 8 months! Cameron is getting so big! He can pull himself up now, he army crawls everywhere and hes pretty fast...still no regular crawling yet even though he tries alot! He loves to eat. He eats all the time, he thinks if anyone is eating around him he should be eating too! He seems to like everything except green vegtables. He refuses to eat peas, green beans, spinach anything thats remotely green! Ryan tries to trick him but he doesn't fall for it! Ha! Just like a Tarwater! He gets excited when I get home from work! He has the sweetest laugh!
SO the other day Jeramy, Ryan and Cameron were at Home Depot and the saleslady is talking to Cameron and says oh you have the prettiest eyes and the prettiest eyelashes! She says your going to be a heartbreaker just like your dad huh!! Ha so cute!!!! WE love Cameron so much!

Newport Beach!!

2009-05-24T15:19:00.000-07:00

We just got back from going to Newport Beach with my family! It was fun! We ate, swam, played games, and rode bikes! Cameron loved the eating, the playing, the bike riding, but he hated the ocean! If Ryan even got him close the ocean he would start crying! It took him a couple of days to even like playing on the beach! It was fun getting to hang out with my family and Coartney and Nicks family! We had a blast! Maybe next year Cameron will like it better!

Abbi!

7 months!

2009-05-11T07:10:00.000-07:00

Today Cameron is 7 months old. I decided he looks so grown up without his helmet. Hes getting to be so big! I love his sweet personality and the way he licks your cheek when you ask for kisses and the way he gets so excited to see me after I get home from work! He is so special to Ryan and I and we are so lucky to have him! He is starting to scoot everywhere, he is starting the knee rocking but hes not quite there, but we have a feeling it'll be soon!

On a totally seperate note, Ryan gave me the most beautiful Mother's Day gift! He took the birth announcement of Cameron, the one where I am kissing his head and blew it up and framed it in a beautiful frame and hung it on the wall! Thanks Ryan, I love it!

Happy Mother's Day

2009-05-10T07:03:00.000-07:00

I know everyone says they have the best mother...but in my case its really true! I just wanted to wish my Mom a Happy Mother's Day! She is such a wonderful mother to all her kids and all her kids spouses, she is also a fantastic and kind Ammy! SHe spoils and loves each of her grandkids so much! Thank you Mom for everything you do for Me and my family we love you so much!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all you other wonderful Mothers and soon to be Mothers too!!!

Horray!

2009-05-08T13:19:00.001-07:00

Horray! Ryan took Cameron in today for his helmet head appointment and the great news....Cameron doesn't have to wear his helmet anymore!!! He went from having an 11mm difference between the two sides of his head to only 3mm now! She said an average person is 3-4mm! His 6 month growth spurt was a big one!!! Were so excited!!! He is getting it off just in time to go to California!! And were also very greatful that he won't have to sweat through June, July, and August!!

P.S I just realized he is wearing the same pjs in the last picture, I swear I washed them in between days!!!

Cameron in a basket!

2009-05-02T19:25:00.000-07:00

Friday night Cameron was having fun playing in his basket. Its the basket I keep all his toys in...I will pick up all his toys and then five minutes later he will come over and pull the basket over so that he can play with them! Ha its so cute I can't get bugged! Ryan always ask me why i even bother picking them!! I put him in the basket after he dumped it out and decided it was so cute I needed to take his picture!

Celebrity Siting?!

2009-05-01T15:50:00.000-07:00

So Cameron and I were shopping at Target a few hours ago and I see a whole entourage of people...thought it was kind of weird, but oh well, so I kept on shopping. A few store employees walked by and the one says to the other...I want to see if I can get closer. Again...weird. So I look over to the group of people and Wynonna Judd (yes the country singer!) was in the middle of a entourage of people! (ok if it wasn't her then it was her twin..and plus she had a group of people with her...doesn't that scream Celebrity!!) Its my first celebrity siting!!! Well I finished my shopping and went to check out...she was up front checking out! They opened her own line for her (of course...I would too!) I finished up and went outside and I called Brittany and she says to me...why didn't you take her picture. DOH!!! I was just excited that I saw her! Shes just as pretty in person, even if she wore sunglasses the whole time! And yes her hair really is that red! SO my question is...why is Wynonna Judd shopping in an east Mesa Target!!!?!?

Blue-eyed Cuties!

2009-04-18T09:13:00.000-07:00

The two blue-eyed cuties!!

Easter/6 month appt!

2009-04-14T07:00:00.000-07:00

We had a very fun Easter! We spent the night at my mom and Brittanys house. We decorated eggs and ate frozen yogurt! Yum! Then we woke up Easter morning and the Easter bunny had left us and Cameron all kinds of fun stuff! Including matching outfits for all the boys and Macie the cutest green outfit to match! Thanks Easter Bunny! WE all then went to church then came home and Bob and Lindsay came over and we took some very cute pics of all the kids. It was hard to get one where everyone was looking!!! Then the rest of the family came over and we had a very yummy dinner and then all the little kids got to hunt for Easter eggs! Cameron had so much fun...ok maybe he didn't know what he was doing but we still had fun!!!

So Saturday Cameron turned 6 months! I can't believe it!!! He weighs 16lb and 9oz! He is 27.25 inches tall! Which is 75% for height and 50% for weight! He has been really sick with a virus and lost about 1/2 of a pound!!! He is feeling better now after the long nights and breathing treatments we finally have our good little sleeper back!

Cute outfit Ammy bought!

Trying to get some good pictures!!!

Looking for Easter eggs! Thanks Coartney for all those fun eggs!

Cameron finding an egg!

All kinds of fun stuff!

Train Park

2009-04-01T18:02:00.000-07:00

For Lindsays Mommy group turn we all went to the train park! All the kids had so much fun riding around on the train and swinging and playing on the jungle gym. It was Camerons first time..he loved it, especially the swing!! Thanks Lindsay we all had a really fun time!! Even Ryan and Chad who came along and who I know are not mommys, but Britt was in school so Chad was a fill in!!

2009-03-31T14:54:00.001-07:00

Tate feeding Apple!

Oh no too close!

We were at moms on Sunday night and Tate decided he wanted to be friends with horses! He was so cute feeding them! Ryan took Cameron out to meet them too, we had to watch Camerons hands sometimes bc he wanted to grab Lydias hair! So fun!

2009-02-28T19:37:00.000-08:00

Saturday night Bob and Fam, Britt and Fam, Mom, Delani, Abbi and us all went to the park! We had fun just letting the kids crawl around! (ok Cameron wasn't crawling but Macie and Lincoln were!) We have fun watching the kids play and eating Krispy Kreme Donuts (thanks mom!) Plus here is just some random pics of Cameron! He loves his jump up thing! Thanks Cassie we love it!

My Own Version!

2009-02-27T15:20:00.000-08:00

So I have been seeing this post on a few peoples blogs...its called pay it forward. It says the first 3 people to leave a comment will get something from the person, something handmade. Well since Im not that crafty I didn't want to promise something handmade! But I do want to play! So Im going to say the first 3 people to comment on my blog will get something from me!! A little treat of somekind! If I don't have your email address leave it for me so that I can email you for your address! Now here is where I say that you then have to post this post on your blog and pay it forward to 3 other people....but, even if you feel like you can't "pay it forward" I still want you to leave a comment, and just enjoy the treat! (it is after all my own version of pay it forward!)

Cameron's on a Roll!

2009-02-26T08:07:00.000-08:00

Camerons new favorite thing to do is roll over. You put him on his stomach and he immediately rolls to his back, but then he grunts because he wants to go back to his stomach! Ha its a game him and Ryan play, then he gets tired and then he needs a rest! Ha its so cute...my little guy is growing up!

Firsts!!!!

2009-02-18T08:15:00.000-08:00

Ryan gave Cameron his first haircut...and boy is it short!!! Almost too short! Cameron needed it though bc his hair was so splotchy, short in some spots and really long in others. So Ryan just buzzed it all off. After he was done he asked me if I was mad at him!? Ha, it is really short and my baby looks so different, but he really needed it and I told Ryan its ok ill grow back fast and it will grow back even! Now its just so light it looks like he has no hair!!! Now I can't run my fingers through his hair anymore!!!

Camerons first time with Rice cereal...he wasn't a big fan!! He gets it in his mouth and then doesn't know what to do with it. So then Ryan and I laugh at him and then he laughs and then it all comes out! Ha, Im sure he'll catch on soon!!

4 month appointment

2009-02-12T13:04:00.000-08:00

Ryan and Cameron...I love both my boys so much!!!!

At the zoo

Tate with Cameron, with his chapped cheeks from playing at the zoo

Cameron falling asleep with baby Tigger

Cameron had his 4 month appointment. He weighed 15lbs and is 25 1/2 inches tall. He is in the 50th percentile for weight and the 75th for height. He is such a sweet little boy. He can roll over from his tummy to his back and is drooling everywhere. The Doctor said his gums are swollen and that two teeth on the bottom will be coming soon!

Worst Mother of the Year Award!!! (2009)

2009-02-07T08:51:00.000-08:00

And the winner is...ME!

So last Tuesday Lindsay Monroe and I and the kids went to the zoo. She had to be back at 12:30 to watch Hallie but Tate was in desperate need of some diapers. I told her to go home I would stop and get some for her. So I drive up to the store I get out (I left the car running..dont ask me why I never do that) I shut my door and went to open Camerons door...nothing. I started to get that ohmygosh feeling. I tried my door and then I went around trying all the doors nothing! So I ran into the store (because of course my cell phone was in the car too) and I say I need to use a phone right now!! I try calling Ryan like 5 times. Finally the guy tells me that it won't work bc Ryan has a long distance number. CRAP! So I ask for a phone book...by this time im trying to fight the tears from coming. The guy looks up locksmith for me, I figure even if Ryan does answer, by the time he leaves work, drives home, grabs the extra set of keys, and drives back to the zoo almost, itd be close to an hour. I knew Cameron was sleeping and the car was on so I was at least ok knowing he wasn't going to get hot. So the locksmith tells me he is on the 60 and MEsa Dr. so hed be there as fast as possible. I go back outside and I just kept looking in the windows making sure Cameron was sleeping. He woke up after 10 minutes. He kept looking at me, trying to figure out why I was looking at him thru the window! Ha it was funny (the only thing funny about the whole thing!!) Finally the locksmith gets there and gets the car open!!! I was so relieved. I felt like such a terrible mother. I never want to do that again!! Im just grateful for the guys at Walgreens and the locksmith guy helping me out so much and being so quick!!!
