Kambria 1st lost tooth!

Kambria lost her first tooth on Sept 23rd. She was SO excited! Bryan helped her finish pulling it out. There was quite a lot of blood, which scared Kambria at first. But then she was happy.This is the picture right after drying her eyes...And then she was REALLY happy! She realized she got to put her tooth in an envelope for the tooth fairy! And the next morning she got a whole DOLLAR! She put the money in her piggy bank for safe keeping!

Freezing corn...

A while back my friend Julie went to the farmers market and got a good deal on corn so she got some for me. I decided to freeze it...the pictures show the process...

just shucked...
Cooking....

Then blanching Cutting off the cob...with a VERY cool and EASY tool!

This is the tool...

And being put into sacks...with all the empty cobs...

fun pictures

Since I am so behind on my posts I thought I would do a little summary post with just some fun pics...

This is a picture of what Kambria had to make for her first week of class...a box of a "shop" that had to start with the first letter of her name...She even had woody and jessie in her shop. ;o)

I brought the "red" snack the first week of class...it was also for her birthday, so I brought red rice krispie apple treats and strawberries.

Kambria enjoying her snacks in class..

Kambria's ginger bread man...who happens to be holding a book of mormon...

Kambria and Ainsley match, and Ainsley is wearing silver shoes that grandma Jetta and aunt Sherie gave her! LOVE IT!

We went to the playground a while back...

What is fun is that Bryan has a pictures like this for each one of the kids....

Back to present day at the park....

All of us on the swings! Bryan is taking the picture...

This video is for my father...he told me to tape Kambria doing the monkey bars...however, I highly doubt he will look at this anytime soon...maybe if I tell him to...or mom could help him!!!

Here is Ainsley on the swings...

First solid foods (5 months old)

I forgot to post this...but wanted to do so for posterity...Ainsley eating solid foods for the first time...

crawling

Just a few videos of Ainsley crawling...

Kambria is a soccer player

We decided to put Kambria in soccer this year. I was hesitant to do so at first because I was worried with being in class all day and then having to do a sport would be overwhelming for her, but she is doing GREAT!!! She loves playing and is one of the best players on the team!
She has scored quite a few of their goals. Today she scored 3 of their 6 goals..and even assisted in another one. She is the oldest girl on the team, but that makes it fun for her.

So here are her soccer pics...

Serious faceSmiley face

The first coin toss of the season(this is not her, but her teammate Rylee)

Kambria is in the middle...Waiting for the kick off...Going for the goal....and it is missed. bummer!

Kambria and Weston 3, 5 yr checkup

When Ainsley went in for her doctor appointment, Kambria and Weston did their 5 and 3 yr old appointment at the same time. It was WONDERFUL on my part! The doc had 1 1/2 hours for me and my family to check on and talk about...and now I don't have to go back fro another 3 months! And that is only for Ainsley. It was great! I love our new pediatrician! It is Dr. Pinkley and he is very friendly and knowledgeable!

Weston:
weight: 36 lb 6 oz - 90%
height: 38.5 in - 65%
body mass index: 85%

Kambria
weight: 45lb 4 oz - 80%
height: 48.75 in - off the charts....100%+
body mass index: less than 3%

So Kambria is a tall girl...who would have ever thought!
They are both growing by leaps and bounds and we are so thankful and grateful for all they do and who they are! We love them!

Ainsley is 6 months!

She is sitting up...and CRAWLING!!!! I can not believe that my 6 month old is crawling. I know it is fun to say that, but that means that she will just get into things faster now! I am not READY for this! But she is definitely CUTE huh?

Ainsley's stats:

Weight: 17 lbs 10 oz - 80%

Height: 26.75 in - 85%

Head: 16.53 in - 40 %

This is normal for her. Except I think it funny to go back and look at Kambria's stats... she was about 8 months at this point...

Kambria's

weight: 16 lbs 3 oz - 35%

height: 25 1/2 in - 5-10%

head: 17 - 35%

So Ainsley has Kambria beat in being big! But chubby is healthy!!!! (at least at this age)

I have pictures of Kambria in this same outfit...They are their own person, but you can tell they are sisters.

This is a video of Ainsley putting her hand in front of Bryan's mouth every time he would try to kiss her. It was almost as if she understood what kiss and the noise meant.

Camping...HOT!!!

We went camping over labor day. We went with the Gates' family. It was fun but VERY hot! WE were planning on staying from Friday night through Monday morning...it was so hot that we left Sunday morning. The next camping purchase that Bryan and I BOTH agreed on is a fan...probably battery powered! There just was not enough air movement.

But enough complaining about the heat...we did have some fun times and memorable times.
One that I don't want to forget is the fun neighbors we had Friday night. We called the ranger on them...while Sean called the cops. They ended up searching their site and then leaving, but it was quite entertaining to watch these idiots. They just were VERY loud and annoying.

Bryan took these pictures of the sunset. It was beautifulYes, we were camping next to some lakes. It was called the Land between the Lakes. On Saturday we went to a working farm. Kambria got a lesson on how to make a rug. She was very good at it too.




Then Weston and Kambria learned how to make pots. They enjoyed it so very much. They both have their pots by their beds with a little animal Bryan bought them for being so good that day. "Charlie" is Weston's little horse and Kambria got a little Bison. She named it but I have already forgotten it.

It was a fun 3 day weekend. We just don't think that we will be going camping ever again when it is that hot without a plan in place on how to cool down... A FAN!!!!!
