*one year ago, at this moment*

I was holding this tiny little angel!

OK, I should say this chubby little angel!  :) 

She did weigh 9 lbs 6 oz, you know!

A year has gone by so fast ~ I wish I could slow time down just a little.

Now little Camry is all grown up...

Check out those amazing baby blue eyes!

Cam, today on your birthday, you:

*LOVE your sisters!  Your life is not complete when they are not around. 

 No one can make you laugh like they can and I love it!

They also adore you.  They love to get you out of your crib in the morning and they do

all that they can to keep you safe.  It's like you have me and three more little mommies!  :)

*have seven teeth! None of your sisters had that many teeth when they turned one.

*have an amazing head of hair! You've already had two haircuts...

*love to blow spit bubbles and that drives your daddy crazy!  He thinks it's so gross!

*are SO loud!  I think you have realized that to be heard over the girls, you have

gotta put everything you've got into getting some attention. 

*are determined to do things your way, when you want to and only if you want to.

You are very strong-willed (and dare I say a little stubborn!...)

*are a WATER BUG!  You love to swim and play in the water at the pool or in the bathtub. You love to put your face under the water over and over and over again.  It's so funny to watch you swim!  You go under the water and hold your breath, but you do it with your mouth open!  When you come up out of the water, you have a HUGE grin on your face and can't wait to do it again!

*love to see your little cousins, Jaidyn and Roman.  It is so fun to see the three of you and how much you have all grown this last year.  You are all starting to realize that each of you are there and have started interacting with each other.  Christmas this year is going to be hysterical!  I can't wait to see three little one-year olds running around and tearing everything apart!!!!

*have taken a few steps by yourself.  You can't wait to run around with your sisters and are trying so hard to learn how to walk.  I am going to love watching you run around with them.

*love your bottle!  I have tried many times to switch you over to a sippy cup,

but at the end of the day, you just need your bottle.

*are a blankie girl.  I love watching you drink your bottle while you hold a blankie

cause you rub it up on your cheek.  So cute!!

*have amazing blue eyes.

*get into everything!  One of your favorite things to do is play in my bathroom. 

You love to dump my basket of hair stuff all over the floor and then

you unroll the toilet paper...

 I can't believe that a year has gone by already.  It's gone by so fast! 
I am excited to watch you learn more and become more able to play with your sisters.

You make me smile everyday.

I am so grateful Heavenly Father sent you to our family!  You are perfect for us.

I love you, my little baby!!

Have a Happy Day!

Say Cheese!

- May & June - in 100 pictures or less...

Memorial Day weekend we headed down to Provo to decorate the graves of

our family members who are buried in the Provo City Cemetery. 

The girls love to put flowers on the graves ~ and even took some time to brush off the

headstones of a few of our relatives.

One of my ancestors buried in Provo is Martha Ann Smith Harris, the daughter of

Hyrum Smith.  She is my great(3x's) grandma. She married William Jasper Harris Sr., who is buried next to her.

We love to find their burial site at the cemetery ~ and it's so cool to see their names carved in that really neat headstone.

After our visit to the cemetery, we stopped by BYU. 

I mean, really...... how could we go to Provo and not stop at the Y?

Future cheerleaders, perhaps?  :)

Little Miss Ky adores her baby sister and LOVES me to take pictures of the two of them

together any chance she can. I can't believe how big they are both getting!!

Camry is our little WATER BUG!  She loves water!!!  I love this picture of her drinking out of the sprinkler in the backyard.  She couldn't get enough!

And, of course she does not care if she gets soaking wet with her clothes on.

She jumped right in the pool and loved every second of it!

In June, Kylie turned EIGHT!  Crazy, uh? 

We had a family birthday party for her and I think this was by far her

very favorite (and least expensive!!) present.

Who would have thought that a package of plain white paper would make a girls dream come true??

Some of her favorite friends came over to play and celebrate with her.

We tie dyed t-shirts, ate pizza and roasted marshmallows.

This is a picture of the girls with some of their friends taking a break from the

water party we had the next day.

~ Kylie's Baptism ~

  Kylie was SO lucky to have so many family and friends at her baptism! 

Getting baptized is such a special occasion and to have so many loved ones there just makes it that much more special and wonderful! 

I can't even tell you how grateful I am that I am married to a man worthy to bless my children!!! 

It was so sweet to see Chad baptize little Ky!  She is so lucky to have such a wonderful dad!

Grammy and Grandad were able to drive out from Missouri for her special day!!  We love having them come and visit any chance they can, but are so grateful for the time they took to come out just for Kylie and show her how special she is to them.

We were also super lucky to have Aunt Casie, Uncle Miah and Brock come too!  They live in Missouri and just happened to have a trip scheduled to Utah the same week that Ky got baptized.  She was SOOOOO excited when I told her they were going to be able to come too.  She has a special place in her heart for Uncle Miah and his Elmo voice.  :) 

(I had to swipe this picture from their blog. Thanks, Case!) 

We also had Grandma and Grandpa Harris, Uncle Bryan (Aunt Jessica and Jaidyn couldn't come), Uncle Casey, Aunt Lisa, Baby Roman, Uncle Mike and his super cute friend, Amanda. 

Yet another swiped picture.  (Thanks, Lisa!)

Uncle Bry

Mike and Amanda...entertaining all the little kids with a game of "Duck, Duck, Goose."

Thanks for keeping them busy!!  :)

Ky and her buddy, Kailen.

These two are inseparable!

Taylor can usually be found in the nearest tree.  Even if she's wearing a dress.

Love that smile and those big beautiful eyes!!!

My girls LOVE their uncles! 

Any chance they get, they attach themselves to one of them and don't let go.

Camry and her semi-cheesy face.  This picture of her doesn't really do it justice -

but Grandpa is sure doing a good impression of her! 

.horrible.

I am a horrible blogger.

Actually, I have not had five minutes to sit and blog.
(*Read my last post and you'll see why*)

School starts Tuesday.

I'll have lots of time then, so prepare yourselves for a picture overload!

~Peace out~

By the way, the little bro comes home in FIVE days!!!!
