It's never too late....right!

There has been so much happening in the last 5 months, that I wanted to update my "journal" before I forget.  I'm quietly at home by myself, while Cam is watching the Maryweather/McGregor fight at John'O's, Taylor and Ashton are at the Highland game at the Mini Dome, and Peri is playing with McKenzie down the street.  I have to speak in church tomorrow and have that done, as is my laundry and my house cleaned and groceries bought!!! WAHOOO! Time to start catching up on my blog.

This is Peri doing yoga at The Teddy Bear Clinic that's sponsored at the hospital every year.  She begged me to take her and McKenzie. So off we went and went to EVERY station.
Peri brought her Lambie and McKenzie brought her favorite stuffed dog.
Peri doing splatter art in art class at school. She loved it!
Selfies with Tay
Then off to Boise with just the girls for Spring Break!  Here we are eating at Cheesecake Factory. YUM! We went to see the new Beauty and the Beast right after dinner and loved every second of it.  Then to Carl's Jr. next to the hotel for milkshakes, because it was midnight and nothing else was open.  I love vacation.
After a shopping at the mall.
The best Gelato around! This was at my favorite candy store every, Craven's Candy Emporium.



Then we went to Marmee and GG's for a fun night in the pool, puzzle and talking.
Then we went to breakfast with them, for some good old fashioned food.
Peri and I put the annual soccer bags together for all the girls and had so much fun! Peri loved the hairbows best of all. Only one more year that we get to do this, because Cam won't be able to coach anymore.  
General Conference with Cate- she doesn't pay attention very well, and we have to tell her all the time to sit up and wake up.
Listening to Conference in the theatre room is the best.
Conference baskets- wouldn't be conference without it! That's what the kids say- Cam even got one too!
Cam and I came home from a date, to find this- ALL sound asleep!



I love watching Ashton play any sport, but especially when he pitches.  He had such a fun year!

Peri was #10 this year and loved it!

Ashton got hired to ref games for the little kids.  He didn't know alot about soccer, but worked hard and they loved him.  He's already signed up for this fall to do it again!
Here's Ashton's Easter basket- trying to see how tall the Easter bunny is.  Isn't he hysterical!

Cate patiently waited for Ashton to share his jerky with her.
Peri was pretty excited about her soft pink bunny.
Cate can often be seen dragging it down the hall and
under my bed, to hide it from Peri!
After church and Cate has her "baby"
After church, which means pictures are never quite as good, oh well
This was Breanne Turpin's reception. I got to help with the cookie and milk bar, the picture does not do it any justice- it was so cute!
Ashton reffing soccer.
Ashton and Kyler after they played each other, and Ashton's team won.  Kyler came right over and told Ashton good job.  What a great friend!
Cam's 40th birthday- everything wrapped in puppy paper.
Making a wish
AND THEN THE PUPPIES WERE BORN! This was the highlight of our year! Poor Cate was in labor for 36 hours, and she got so sick afterwards and we almost lost her- but Cam was so faithful staying by her side through the entire thing. It probably would have been easier to have another baby.  However, it was an amazing experience for our family!

Cannon couldn't wait to be the first one to see them and he was so sweet with them!!!!! Cate would growl at everyone that came in our room- except for us and Cannon.  She can tell Cannon has a sweet spot for animals.

We named this little girl Angel, because it looked like a little angel on her bum- so sweet!
Here's Rosie O'Donnel- they very first and BIGGEST to be born!
I love that baby Cate is putting her paw on Fannie- so cute!!! Taylor said they were ugly little rats, but deep inside she adored every second of it!
Cate was the best momma ever- and stayed by them 100% of the time, except to eat and go to the bathroom.

My favorite picture!
Ashton and Kyler at their last choir concert- please notice his lovely wrinkled shirt that he said was ironed! I had to go to mine and Peri's school concert, and Cam was watching the puppies be born, so it was a crazy night and an ironed shirt was the last thing to worry about- apparently! AAAHHHH Also he got a haircut the next day!
Peri and I's last Spring concert for school- super cute as always
Happy Mother's Day to me! I LOVE THIS day!
I LOVE BEING A MOM!


Brekkon always finds Taylor no matter what...... to play on her laptop!
The Temple Dedication and Cam got to take all the youth
Peri had a movie party with BOYS and girls! They were all so cute and had such a fun time.

Love this shot- she's such a great defender!
Found this randomly on my phone- this will not surprise any of you, if you know Taylor! What will I do with this girl.
Field trip to the greenhouse for kindergarten and I loved these Bachelor Button's.
Eating at Texas Roadhouse- just the three of us!
Taylor's before and after pictures of two sets of braces, two retainers, and a surgery- money well spent: she looks beautiful! Can't believe how much she's grown up.
At Ashton's baseball game, snuggled under the blanket, right when the sun goes down.
We went one morning to run at Portneuf Greenway and got caught by the newsman and asked why the kids were excited for Spring. They did a pretty cute job, but Peri refused to say anything- just smiled!
Jappy, our friend was on the Boise Idaho PBS festival and it was such a fun surprise to see him. He did a great job and we love PBS!
Natasha came to town one weekend and the girls had so much fun catching up- of course they wanted to go to Geranimo's.
Two pretty good fisherman!



This was a pretty fun game of Phase 10 during Christmas break.Cam and Tay are getting pretty silly!
