November 1

Day 1: Today I am so thankful for the opportunity to be a mother. I have theee most love in the world for this little guy.

I can't get enough of those eyes! oh my.. I love him. 

I cannot believe how big he has gotten just in the past 3 months! 

And the opportunity to be a step mom to Madison! Beautiful girl she is!

We are lucky to have such cute kids!

hAlLoWeEn!!

Halloween was pretty fun this year. Cam was thing 1, Ryker was thing 2 and I was the cat in the hat. (We didn't know what we were going to be until Halloween day. Talk about last minute! Good thing Tasha's family was this a few years ago and she let me borrow the blue for Ryker's hat and I made the shirts while Cam was at work. I didn't have a hat so I made myself a little red and white hair thing real quick and painted my face. For last minute we all turned out looking pretty good I do say so myself. Ryker was by FAR theee cutest! 

He was real tired!

And.. here is all of us.

Madi got to be with her mom this year. She dressed up as a witch! :) She made a cute little witch! We didn't get to see her dressed up but here is a pic of her! :) 

Since she was with Nikki, we got her the night before and we carved pumpkins! 

Madi's face cracks me up in this one! 

We are ghosts!!! ha no my camera just sucks. 

Madi's pumpkin. She got real creative.. It started our as a bowling ball I  believe  :) 

Cams with the tongue sticking out!

And I did this one for our little Ryker man! :) while he slept...

On Halloween night, we went trick or treating with the Buoys! It was lots of fun! We tried to find this house that Cameron said the guy was making corn dogs.. We found the street and it was like a block party! The kids loved it. There was this guy with a golf cart pulling barrels and taking kids for rides. It was cute. The corn dog guy was making popcorn and donuts. We don't know if he made corn dogs or not. He could have been out by the time we got there.  There were tons of people there. 

This is by FARRR my fav picture of the night! 

Good Times! Happy Halloween! 

Now bring on Christmas! Thanksgiving of course ;)

Deer Hunt

This past weekend was the opening of the deer hunt! I love the deer hunt so much. Only with my family though. We focus more on the family time, story telling, camping and having fun time then we do the actual hunting part. It's fun. 

Before we went up to Fillmore for the hunt this year we went and stayed up at a cabin in duck creek on cedar mountain where Cameron has been working for the past little while.

Before bed at the cabin. 

 Right after this picture Ryker spit up in Madi's mouth. She just started laughing her head off.. It was hilarious. 

Hanging out while dad was working.

This is how she kept watching tv. What a goof.

Cam put this HUGE beanie on him.. It was funny.. 

Madi was sooo excited to go hunting.. She had that hat on so low she had to look up just to look straight.. Hilarious.

Grandma got to spend some much needed time with Ryker man while I was off searching for deer.

Daddy and Ryker taking a nap together!

It was a fun trip. Exhausting. But very fun. I shot at a 2 point and missed. Ha. To tell you the honest truth I don't even know if I was shooting at a buck. I couldn't tell which one had horns through the scope on my gun. I guessed which one it was from my Dad and Colton explaining to me where he was at. I was nervous I was shooting at a doe. I think that's why I choked. Oops! Cam says that he is making me go back up this weekend. (He really just wants some jerky) It is supposed to get cold this week so hopefully that will help bring some deer down off the mountain. We barley saw anything when we actually were hunting. ha

Ruffle skirt

So I saw this 

pinterest a long time ago and wanted to make Madi one. She has a few pairs of jeans that are too short for her now but still fit her in the waist. So I made her one.. I somewhat followed this blog here.

And this is what mine turned out like...

I did it a bit different. I sewed the ruffles onto an old black t shirt that I had then sewed the whole thing onto the cutoff levis. I think it turned out pretty cute.! 

I also made a flower for her hair..

I was going to take a picture of her wearing it the other day.. because she looked adorable in it, but I forgot! 

Luckily Chelsie did before school.. 

I think she looks adorable! 

Just Because..

So Cam left again today.. :( I love that he has a job that he loves. But I hate the fact that sometimes he leaves for a whole week at a time.

 I hate not seeing him everyday.

 Not only do I get bored but I miss him soooo much. He is my BESTEST Friend Ever. I get so lonely without him here.  I feel real bad for him this time too because he doesn't get to see our little Ryker man for 4 days. 

Poor daddy. 

 I text him so many times before he ever texts me back because he is busy, ha. 

When we talk on the phone, its for at least a half an hour or so before we fall asleep at night.

 I just love this guy so dang much.

Don't know what I would do without him.

On a Happy note.. When we had Madi this weekend we made letter pancakes.
It was fun and she loved it!

What a cute little girl.
Love her.
I need a new camera. Mine sucks. It's old.

And this is just cause he is adorable. I got a smile outta him.. Even if it was cause he was trying to poop or something, I don't care. I LOVE it and him. 

"I am a child of God"

Okay so can I just say that it has been awhile since I have been to church.  We are really trying hard to get back to going and becoming temple worthy so we can go through the temple.  If you add up not going to church for some time, going to a new ward where you know nobody, and a family ward at that so we are like the youngest can be a little scary.  My whole plan was to go to sacrament meet the bishop and get him our records so that they could be transferred to the right ward.  So skip to after sacrament, I asked Madi if she just wanted to go home and SHE was the one that said "No, I want to go to primary! I'm so excited for primary!!" So we stayed, took Madi to primary, found Sunday school and braved my way through Relief Society.  Afterwards I was very thankful. Of course it was the 4 year old child who was braver than me today!  I love her for that!  She is such a talented and special little girl!  She wasn't shy at all either, her teacher said she just jumped right in and helped out in class.  She even met the bishop and said he was soo nice cause he gave them all suckers.  I'm so thankful for the hearts of children and how awesome they are at keeping us adults in check when they don't even know.  It makes me even more excited for when our little Ryker is here!  I love the gospel and I'm so excited I finally dove in to start the journey of eternity with my family!

Hello Blog World!

I need to start blogging again!! My life is soo different from a few months ago.! I no longer live with Casey. She decided that one bathroom was just not going to cut it for 3 girls so she found somewhere else to live and Kayla and I got a new roommate! and its Marsha! My best friends little sister! I'm very stoked about this! Kaylyn gets home from her mission in October! I'm so ready for her to come home because I miss her so much! I feel like my friends change so often lately. It's weird. Right now my best friend is most definitely Cameron J! My boyfriend. We have so much fun together. I absolutely love this guy, and his daughter!

Well our new apartment is soon going to be soo cute! I've been looking around and have so many fun ideas to make it cute and homey! right now we don't have any couches! ha But soon we will, they are at Kayla's house in Alamo. We just need to find a way to get them here! We bought an entertainment center at the DI the other day for 15 bucks! It was such a steal! Cam is going to help us put some shelves and stuff in it because they were gone. I'm very excited!

As for school, I'm not going this semester. I'm still very indecisive, as usual and don't know what I'm doing with my life. I'm kinda thinking towards Radiology now.

That's just a little update for now.
