2 Months Into the Grind

Hey All! So it's been a long time since we've updated our blog. Sorry! But as many of you know it's football season and that means if it's not football it may not get done (right away) and since Cam is usually the one to update this, it's been up to me. Yikes! I'm just learning how, but I'll try to post more often. Cam is loving football this year. His team has won 2 games and if they beat Wendell on Friday they go to the playoffs, so he's a bit nervous about it, but excited none the less. He has put a lot of time and energy into his program this year and is excited to see some rewards which I'm sure will only increase in future years. Zoey is growing and growing. It's amazing how much she changes. She is now rolling over, eating cereal, and laughing like crazy, but still not sleeping through the night. We've had a hard time lately with her spitting up. She gets lots of bubbles and gas pains and wakes up about every hour in the night. I'm sure I'm real pleasant to be around in the mornings. (Maybe that's why Cam is gone so much). She wants to be on the go all the time and will be so glad when she can crawl. As you can see from the pics she loves things in her mouth. We have gone from calling her our little growler monkey to calling her our little monster. She'll grab your face and try to eat it. What a cutie! It's so hard to leave her and go to work. Cam said it will get easier but so far it's gotten harder, but we're blessed to have a good babysitter so that helps a little. I miss her so much during the day and find myself thinking about her all the time. Work for me is work. These next few months are going to be pretty busy with IEP's due on half my case load. The lady I teach with is prego and will miss 2 or 3 months of school starting in February, so I'm sure I'll be over stressed and wanting summer to be here. We are staying busy like everyone else and counting our blessings as we go. Go Senators!

And summer is over!!!

The reunions are done and that means summer is done as well. Football starts tomorrow, Dacia's first work day is next week, and I start shortly after that. I went and saw my classroom today and have my work cut out for me. We were praying very hard about a babysitter and our prayers were answered when Mandy, a friend of ours, who initially didn't want to do it, decided to do it. She lives right by the school so Dacia is close by. As you can see from the pictures the reunion at night was cold, real cold. Zoey was bundled up tight and made through them both with no mosquito bites. There are some other pictures in there as well including the view of Bear lake from the mountain, My mother Terry holding my brothers youngest Logan, and then a group shot of the babies and their moms, Zoey and Dacia, Lisa and Olivia, and Cheryl and Logan. We had a blast and can't wait to see family again. Well till next time. Cya!

Getting ready for the reunion!!

Hey all. Sorry it has taken so long, we had some camera issues. We are getting excited for our big reunion at Bear Lake. In fact, we were surprisingly made the vice presidents at the last minute, and thank goodness that my wife is the way she is, because she whipped everything together lickety split. I am sure it will be stressful having that resposibility, plus taking our 2 month old on her first camping trip, but we will manage. Here are some new pictures of Zoey, chunking out and growing like a weed. At her 2 month visit she weighed 12lbs and was 24 inches long, so very impressive, we included a picture of her legs post shots as well. We love that little girl and they say and I tend to agree that she is looking more and more like her dad (probably only cause she is getting chunkier). I just finished football camp so it was a long week for Dacia with me getting home at 10:30 every night, but the guys looked great. We got 43 boys out, well more than they anticipated I could, and they worked their tales off and are beginning to buy into my system. How we will do remains to be seen, but we will work every down and leave it all on the field. Well, till next time, we will have some pics from the reunion, and for those that are going, we can't wait. Cya.

2 years, and Dacia still doesn't have regrets..... I think!?!

Hey All!! Dacia and I are actually in Boise right now on our anniversary, you don't really realize the responsibilities of a new baby until you take them on a trip. Speaking of a trip, the last two years for Dacia and I have been unforgetable, and we love eachother so much. As I have said many times before it is trully a blessing to be married to your best friend. Now here are some updated pictures of our little monkey including one with momma (they are both so beautiful and have a special bond already). She still has those big beautiful blue eyes and a little grin that makes dadda do whatever she wants, already! We hope all of you have a happy 4th and will talk to ya soon.

She is adorable.....and yes she does run the household!!

Hi all, I was so glad that many of you were able to make it to the blessing, we are very greatful for all of our family and friends and all they do for us. These are the updated pictures of Zoey, some with mom and dad, some displaying here cuteness, one with her cousin Olivia, my sister Lisa's third baby who was born exactly one week after Zoey. There is also a video of us trying to wake her up. This ritual takes about 20 minutes and it's like waking up a teenager. The way she grunts and groans about things she doesn't like has earned her the nick name "Growler Monkey" and she growls a lot. She is a really good baby, sleeping through the night really well with mom having to wake her up to feed. We love this little angel, and count our blessings each day. We will continue to update. Talk to ya soon!
