Happy 3rd Birthday Kamdyn!

Kam is already three!!!

He is our little mini man-stomping around, talking in his "man" voice and ready to defend Max for any reason at all.

He almost always has a stick "shoot-gun" and on a mission of some kind.

Even though he is rough and tumble he has a very sweet personality, happy go lucky!

He loves hats!!

This one he has on here is cousin Josh's-he left it awhile ago.

Boik and Lisa gave him one last year for his birthday that, although its waaay to small, still insists on wearing it:)

Blowing out the candles...

Happy guy!:)

Kam is the go-with-the-flow type of kid.

He doesn't let too much get to him, if it makes it better for the others he will usually give up whatever toy he is playing with..

that being said he won't be walked all over either-not afraid to jump into the fray;)

Super excited about his semi-truck car carrier:)

Happy Birthday to our sweet little man!!!

Sunday...Afternoon

We had a birthday party for Grandpa Dan and Kamdyn-we celebrated with a picnic at the park then on to the grandparents for a hot dog roast!

Bruce and I made the above grenade cake pops for Kamdyns part of the party.

They were pretty stinkin' cute:)

I'm gonna post the how to over at The Peppered Pantry later on in the week.

All the boys seemed to think they were pretty cool too!

Hot dogs at the awesome picnic table built by brother in law Jeremy:)

He should really sell 'em-they are longer than normal and the benches are a little closer to the table-makes it easy for the kids to reach.

Tiera roasting her dog...she wanted to at the campout but wasn't feeling very good so she didn't get her chance..not really sure she thought it was that great:)

I ended up doing it for her! lol

Birthday boy getting ready for present opening...

Khloe loved this little chair...she was always trying to get on then off again then trying to drag it around on her very unsteady feet that don't quite walk yet!

She 2 and 1/2 weeks away from being 1!!!

Can't believe it...

Tiera and Aubrey playing apples and oranges...

yes that is and Thanksgiving table cloth!!

Haha must have been the first one she got her hands on;)

Kam with his "special" birthday grenade pop:)

Gramps and Little Miss

This is at the Kalama park.

The Columbia River runs along there and there is a really nice walking path, volley ball and basket ball courts, horse shoe pits and a playground!

Plus the river is right there the kids love climbing around down there on the washed up trees and the rocks:)

New Kittens!!

Shane's cat had a litter of four kittens and of course they promptly each declared one of them to be theirs! Meaning we can't very well get rid of any of them...

Hmmmm:)

Katiera loves this one...pretty cute;)

Here they all are..in motion!

Khloe loves them but the kinda freak her out a little:)

I think this is expressing how nervous he is about those mischievous little boys...

Memorial Day Camp-Out Weekend

Well it's been 3 years since we last went to the church campout!!

This year started out kinda rough though-Tiera wasn't feeling good but insisted she felt good enough to go, so after checking in with the Dr. we got on the road and got down there in the late afternoon. This was a first for both Kamdyn and Khloe-he absolutely loved it and she...not so much!! She pretty much didn't want down at all-kinda freaked by the grass and uneven ground.

But over all it wasn't terrible;)

Dirt!!!

Never fails they find it and it provides several hours of fun:)

Of course ya got to climb the fence!

Khloe having a very rare for the campout nap.

Tiera and Emma wandering....I realized looking at all the pictures I don't have a single one of Shane-he was never around!!

Always off playing "Black Ops" I was told:)

Uncle Carlin teaching Khloe how to ride a bike;)

I really appreciated him at meal prep-always willing to hold Khloe {even with her runny little nose and being kinda crabby} or help the other kids with whatever they were freaking out about:)

This is where Kam spent most of his time-on his tricycle or in the horseshoe pits:)

Max on his new bike.

She looks pretty happy-ya think she can tell we are headed home!!

Classic face;)

Sweet smile:)

They all loved it and are very much looking forward to the next trip:)

Miss Khloe

Here's a few updated picture of Khloe-she is growing up waaay to fast!!

Why do they gotta do that?

It's been fun though, watching her learn to roll, scoot and try to pull herself up.

Learning her personality and what makes her happy-me holding her! lol

She is a really good baby-quiet, smiley and very curious about everything!

Trying to pull herself up!

She would get almost to her feet then do a slow spin to the floor then look surprised and try all over again-fun, fun:)

She just loves her daddy!!

She gets so excited when he walks in the door-sooo cute:)

He is telling her all about eating food, she look like she is listening so intently!

She loves to eat- not that you can tell-she is like all the rest of my kids under weight for her age.

Right now while she waits for me to get her breakfast, lunch or supper ready, she snacks on cherrios or ritz crackers.

Just hanging out in her round about walker while I make supper:)

Life...Happens

I'm coming back-really;)

I promise!

EEK!

This years version of the Boo pumpkins:)

Our "scary" front porch-Tiera wanted to do scary this year.

I told her this is as scary as it gets!

Happy Halloween!!!
