Karlie's 2nd Birthday

I honestly don't think I have ever seen Karlie act so cute! She was so excited for her birthday and her presents. Grandma B. bought her some dress ups and she just fell in love with them. I think the best part for her was knowing that they were hers and hers alone. No more having to use Brenna's and having her get mad for wearing them. I made her a white cake and she seemed to enjoy the frosting. Like mother like daughter, we are frosting lovers. I can remember in about the 4th grade I requested a total frosting cake for my birthday. Did my mom ever deliver!
Karlie has been such a joy these past 2 years that we could not ever live without her!

Dance Recital 2009

This is a little treat for Elder and Sister Whitehead, who are missing out on 2 dance recitals while away. ( Is there a spider crawling up her skirt?)

35 Birthday Party

Happy Birthday Cameron! Yes Cam turned the big 35 this year. I told him that it was half way to 70. I don't think he appreciated that very much, but what can I say I am only a few years younger. The children and I celebrated with his favorite meal T-bone steaks, baked potato, salad with hard boiled eggs, and seasoned Italian Asparagus. It really was delicious! Next some good friends came over for cake and ice cream. Cameron had to have a specific cake form Sam's club, the kind with the Persian filling. I think and hope he had a nice time. Until next year HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY!

Karlie Anne

Lately I find myself taking pictures of our "dog-darling" Karlie. She will be 2 next week and can not help but share her cute personality. AKA; Karlie Warlie - Warliss (Grandma Corliss thinks that is close to her name) - Woogle - Woogie - & Woogie Woo.

FINALLY!

A few weeks ago my brother-in-law Danny came and helped Cameron wire the basement. Ever since then Cam has been very motivated in finishing the basement. If I knew Danny was what Cameron needed to get motivated, I would have sent for him a long time ago! Anyway here are a few pictures of the basement. Yes I now officially have two laundry rooms! And the one in the picture even works, though nothing else down there does, YET!

Brenna's Preschool Dance

Brenna recently had her dance pictures taken and I though I would share it with you. Is she not the cutest dancer in the group!

TAX DAY!

We have not ever had to pay taxes like this before! So yes we had to take a picture and cherish the moment as our hard earned money was mailed to the IRS. IRS stands for: I'm Really Sad they took my money, because I could have finished my basement.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter from our clan to yours. We spent our time dying eggs (I do not love doing that), hunting and more hunting at Grandma B's house. During church someone asked how the Easter Bunny got rolled up into Easter. I thought about that and am not sure if I have the answer or not, but I think is must be a shopping promotion at one time or another. Also, remember those commercials for Cadburry Eggs and the different animals they used to represent the bunny? chicken, turtle, rodent etc... and it ended up on a large rabbit popping out an egg. What was that? My friend Jamie (professional rabbit caregiver) says that rabbits have live births every 6 weeks, no egg popping involved. I guess that means we should have an Easter Chicken instead, but who wants to snuggle up to an Easter Chicken?

Brenna B. - The Dancer

Brenna is just finishing out her second year of dancing and the performances have begun.
(Cameron can not wait to go to all of them.). Here is a little taste of her Itsy Bitsy Spider dance. Is she not the cutest 4 yr old you have ever seen?

Spring Break 09

The kids and I decided it was time to get out of Dodge and head up to see our family in Boise. We were lucky enough to see my sisters new baby daughter Kiyah Anne, and Grandpa Hunemiller who just flew in from New Mexico. We stayed at my brothers home and most likely drove my sister-in-law Kirsten NUTS! However, I know my nephew Jarett had a blast with his cousins! Overall we had a very nice time spending time with my sister and her kids, my sister-in law and her son and of course Grandpa. Cameron even showed up for a day! The weather on the other hand was not that great, but what can I say other than ----"10 weeks until summer!"
