Temple Square

We had really wanted to go to Temple Square this year... We had been trying to go all month but because it has been so cold we just barely were able to go last weekend. We started the day going shopping a South Towne Shopping Center in SLC/Sandy which is one of my FAVORITEST places to shop, then went to dinner, went shopping again at Gateway (we like to shop...), looked at the lights at the Gateway, then off to Temple Square. I hadn't been there is literally 10 years and Brandon about 15, never together. What more can I say besides that it was amazing, breathtaking, and that you could feel the spirit. Since it was the weekend before Christmas it was incredibly packed and we had to park very far away.. but well worth it.

This was at the Gateway. The tree was real and gianormous!
It was really cool because the lights would change colors too.

Here's the kids at dinner being goofy

Kameryn's 1st Birthday!!

I can't believe my baby turned one on Deceber 16th. I have had such a hard time with this and I don't know if it is because this year has just flown by before my eyes or if it's because we haven't decided if she is our last. Maybe both?? Once the day got here though she woke up literally around 7:30am, just the time she was born. And boy was she the happiest girl on her birthday. We had just a small get together with family and some close friends. It turned out really well and by the end of the night I was proud that she was such a big girl now :)



She's such a little cheese... which is exactly what she's saying while I take these pics!

Like father like daughter...

Aunt Lisa came too! This is my fav pic so far of them together

Kami loved opening her gifts. She got a lot of really nice things from everyone. She received some clothes (some of which were handmade by Grandma Ballard), the cutest tutu and wings made by Jacquie who is one of my best friends, lots of earrings with a jewelery box (her birthstone from Grandma/Grandpa Swires), some toys, books, and stuffed animals...which she REALLY loved!>

Here she is eating some delicious rainbow chip cake. She really loved it and ate the whole piece! But afterwards she kinda freaked out when she was all sticky..

We did it! We got internet back finally so here's some pics of the last 9 months LOL. Unfortunately there was a few months my camera didn't work so they are pretty random. It's crazy looking at how big Kameryn has gotten and how much older Davin looks.

This is seriously my favorite picture of Davin. We had just mohawked his hair for the first time and it totally fit him.

Mama kisses!

Davin turned three this last June... I can't believe how fast time has gone by and how fast hes growing. Here's some pics of our celebration.


This is when we were singing to him. He really loves birthdays! And this is me and two of some my favorite littlle girls Tayli and Danika! Tayli is Davin's "girlfriend" and it's too adorable.

Tayli loves to pose for the camera!

Grandpa Jones holding Kami

Aunt Kari and our nephew Hadon. He just woke up ;)

And here are some pics of the kids this summer. I attempted to just do it myself rather than hiring someone. I think they look pretty decent :)

Thankgiving Day


Here's Kami with Grandma Ballard.. she just looks too cute. This is Davin and his cousin Jakson. They are the best of friends and I love watching them grow up together.





Kameryn riding a toy horse. She absolutely loved it! And this is her coming to say HI!




So me and Brandon are rarely actually in the pics LOL. It's like pulling teeth to let me take pictures of him so here are some on the way over to Grandma Olson's

And Randon pics from the last month or so...

I LOVE her big blue eyes

Davin and Kameryn wreaking havoc in his room... I love their innocent faces

I just love Kami's smile. She's talking so much lately and starting to walk! She is such a big girl now and it makes me so sad. So far she says HI! (In many different tones, its the cutest thing I've ever seen), Daddy, Davin (kinda), doggie, CHEESE! (She does this when she sees our phones or the camera), and sometimes mama...like when she's mad. I have been teaching her to sign since Davin did so well with it when he was her age and so far she has picked it up amazingly. She is so smart I can't handle it! And for the rosy cheeks... she's teething in most of these pics and it seems to come with the territory

And here are some cell pics taken over the last few months...

That tree is totally real btw... I guess it happens when the snow sits on the tree when the tree is still young making it a perfect seat :)

Brandon is helping Dav golf for the first time. He kept acting like the club was a gun.. What a boy!

All I have to say is LOL
