Gage calling 5-8-11

Gage got to call on Mother's day so we all went to Brian and Kollette's house to talk to him. It's hard to believe he only has 6 months left on his mission and he will be home.

SuperHero day at the O 5-13-11

My work had a unity day on Friday the 13th and the theme was Superhero. Jared hadn't been working much so we didn't have a whole lot of disposable cash (really we never do) and the people on my team had expressed those same concerns so I decided to get to work to make our costumes and some fun decorations. I used my Cricut to help out. We decided that our team would be the O-vengers and here are some fun pictures from the day.

Instead of the Bat Phone we had the O phone

Brianna's Baby Shower 5-14-11

I am such a slacker on my blog lately and there are a million reasons why it hasn't really been updated since Mother's day, but the main reason is I have been too busy out enjoying the summer now that is finally here. I am working on cleaning the house today since Jared is at work and I have no pressing plans. I though it would be nice to update my blog as well.
So I will start with Brianna's baby shower. Amy was the one to mostly put it together. All I had to do was the make the invitations. I think they turned out rather cute.

Then I made her a card to go along with the present I got her

The baby comes out of the buggy and then the card opens.

My mom made some refreshment.

Cute diaper motorcycle made by Kim

Some one made her a super cute diaper cake. One of these days I would like to attempt one of these.

Cute little Ruby enjoying some food

Cute decorations

The expecting mother

Bunch of people waiting on food.

Cute paper plates

Brianna fixing her plate, remember she is eating for two

Kaitlyn eating

Yummy!

The hungry masses

As if we didn't get enough food. We get super gross baby food. I had to make it better with whipped cream. This was actually a game we played trying to guess the food

Presents

Beautiful girl

Playing another game. This is a fun game that I played at Kim's baby shower when she was expecting little Ruby. It started raining and even though we were under the deck we still got wet so we had to go inside for a bit.

Back outside to unwrap presents

Posing

Back inside to check out the bag of cute clothes she got.

And that is the conclusion of the baby shower. As you might already be aware little Michael Teagan Bryce made his debut on June 3rd, but that is a different story for another post later, right now it's back to vacuuming the living room

Happy Birthday Amy!

As kids we lived together
We fought, we laughed, we cried.
We didn't always show the love,
that we both had inside.
We shared our dreams and plans,
and some secrets too.
All the memories we share,
Is what bonds me now to you.
We grew to find we we have a love
that is very strong today.
It's a love shared by our family,
You are my sister not by choice
but by nature of our birth.
I could not have a better one.
You are the best on earth.
I know I we haven't always gotten along the greatest but I have always looked up to you and love you very much. I hope you have the best birthday ever.
Love
Cammie

Happy Birthday to the greatest man who ever lived

July 14th. the day of his birth
Almost 70 years he was here on this earth.
He labored and toiled with his hands,
But he never traveled to distant lands.

He loved to sing the songs of old,
And lots of his experiences he told.
He was so wise in many ways,
We didn't understand in our younger days.

We still miss him as the days go by
His absence sometimes makes us cry.
To wish him back to what has been,
Would be wrong in this world of sin.

He is in a far better land,
Singing songs with the Angel Band.
Joining family and friends gone on before
Never to labor and toil no more.

Each passing year, for us is very hard,
We cannot send a gift or card,
But cherish all the years we had,
To celebrate your birthday, "DAD".

I love you always Dad and I know that every day that passes since you left us is one day closer to being able to see you again.

Dad... so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.
What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.
What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.
Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.
Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.
Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.
Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.
Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.

Tell him Happy Father's day

from all of us down here.

And please, with your loving hand

help me wipe away this tear.

I love you dad and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I miss you so much and wish so bad it didn't have to be this way. I am grateful everyday for the all the many wonderful memories of all the things we shared and I know that when my time on earth is through you will be there to greet me.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO THE BEST DAD A GIRL COULD ASK FOR!
