So Cameron is plugging away with school, me being a mom, and the kids being kids. We're in the midst of trying to get loans deferred, get loans, figure out schedules for the Masters Program, and figuring out how much Cam can work. They only want him to work 20 hours a week for the Masters Program, so we will be living on loans for a while I think. It makes me really nervous, but we can do it I hope. We did hear from BYU and they said no. I think it's because they didn't get to see last semesters classes on the transcript and thought he hadn't taken enough classes. But we're in! So so thankful. So, I am going to have a lia sophia jewelry party on June 28. If anyone would like to come out, let me know and I will send an invite. No one is obligated to buy, I am mostly having it so Alecia can get jewelry ideas. She is looking to start making jewelry and sell it. It's really cute jewelry Alecia!! I will come pick you up and bring you if I have to. Keep June 28 open please!! Come have treats. I don't know what I'm making yet, but something yummy!!

Owen is having a hard time because he isn't eating and is having a hard time with his bowel movements. That has been a problem since birth, but he has just kind of stopped eating, so we are going to a stomach specialist on June 2.

Liam is doing well. I wish we could get him into preschool, he needs that social interaction I think. He likes to play with Kora and he and Kora have formed their own clique. They don't like any of the other kids in the neighborhood to play with them. We're working on being a good friend. Silly boy.

Erin is talking and talking. She learns new words that we haven't taught her. It's fun to see her talk and try and interact with Liam in that way. She loves Owen and smooshes him and kisses him. In fact, this morning, she pulled him off the couch so she could love him. I heard a loud bang and crying and tried to be a nice mom because I knew she didn't mean to, but I did yell just a little. My house is a mess mess mess. I need to clean it. It seems like every time I clean it, it just gets messy 10 minutes later. So, I have a day full of cleaning ahead of me. Yay for me! Enjoy the sunshine those who have it. Our day is rainy here. I like it, but would rather have sunshine today. Sometimes you need the sunshine to boost your mood. That's me today. I'll clean my house and feel better hopefully...

Spring and Good News

I love purple tulips. I think they are my very favorite flower. I took this at Thanksgiving Point. If anyone has opportunity to go to the tulip festival there, do it. It's really pretty. Good photo ops too.

So this week was a bad one. Owen is not eating. I took him to the doctor and he thought he may have "silent reflux" and put him on some medication. Thus far it hasn't helped. I take him in this week for his four month check, so we'll see how he is then. Poor kid. He's a silly one, though. He is such, SUCH a social little bee. He will protest loudly if you are not paying him enough attention and then when you finally do look at him and start talking, he BEAMS! It's pretty funny.

This week was also a good one. Cameron got accepted into the U's MAC program YAYYYYY!!! Good job. We are still waiting to hear from BYU, but are so thankful to have gotten into the U. That means he won't be going to Bear Lake with the fam in August, because he has a weeklong service project he has to do with all the MAC students, but that's okay. He'll be there in spirit.

I am going to go to a lia sophia jewelry show/party thing at my friend MaryKate's this Thursday, so if any of you want to go (Laurie, Amy, Alecia, I am talking to you, you jewelry fiends), or anyone else who reads this, let me know and come up and go with me. (Alecia, you may get some good ideas for your budding business!!) She is having cupcakes. Who can resist that? Mmmmm, cupcakes!

Liam's Birthday

Here's the birthday boy!!

He really really wanted water guns.

Yay for Star Wars!!!

Check out my cool Star Wars cake I made. Aren't I amazing? Ha-ha!

So I know this is kind of late, but here are the pictures of Liam's birthday. He is very excited to be four and reminds me that he is four and he can do whatever he wants now. "Mom, four year olds can jump on the couch, remember?" Things like that. We actually celebrated his birthday on the 25th, not the 23, because Cameron wasn't going to be home all day Wednesday. He had class, work and then his night class. It's the day the kids didn't see him at all that day. So, we told Liam his birthday was Friday instead. He didn't notice. So glad they're little and don't know about dates yet.

Hip-Hip Hooray!!!!

Here is the pre-graduate. Cute huh!

After Graduating. See the fun fun diploma? Hooray Cameron!!

This was the walk up to the Huntsman center. They had a pipe and drum band they were following. It was pretty cool!

Yay!!! Cameron walked yesterday! He did such a good job getting to this point. We came up with a few ideas for the one next year. He does get a nice cushy seat next year and a cool robe with weird arm hangy-down things and a cape. Kind of cool. We need to figure out something to help him to stand out though. Any ideas? We need to get seats on the other side of the stadium. It was a nice dry run for the big one next year. Good Job Cam!! I love you!
