A cute blog

I have the dream of one day consistently doing my girls hair all cute.

I was looking for ideas and stumbled across this blog. These hair-do's are definitely Tiffany, Jenise and Shelyse worthy.

One day it could happen for me too, I am just not there yet.

The blog is http://www.princesshairstyles.com . Check it out, there are some amazing hair styles.

My Boys

The male bonding has begun. They have watched a BYU game together, love to nap together, and Kelly has been peed on a couple of times. I LOVE MY BOYS!

Kelly's Big Race

Kelly happened to beat a 9 month pregnant girl in a swimming race, and then bragged about it at work. He was then challenged by a 23 year old girl to a 200 meter race. People got excited about it at work and before he knew it, it was a 9 person race. The date was set and Kelly was grateful that there were other people to race, with 8 other people he had to beat at least one.

The kids and I went up to watch the race, yes, we drove 30 minutes each way, to see the 45 second race. They were very excited and then somewhat let down, it was a touch anticlimactic.

Kelly came in 6th, but he did beat the girl at work, so he is feeling pretty dang cool.

Ryan raced him afterwards and she kicked his buns.

Pre-School

We decided to put Ryan in pre-school this year. She needs the interaction with other kids and I NEED a break. We were all very excited to have her go, but at the last moment seeing her walk in with the teacher got me all choked up. Kelly laughed at me, so sensitive. She is loving school, her favorite thing is hand painting (they paint the kid's hands and make handprints on paper). She also sings some great prayer songs.

3 Weeks

Cam is 3 weeks old today. I am happy to report that he is still alive and well, despite Ryan's attempts on his life. (She claims that he wants her to hug him, hold him, shove his plug in his mouth, squeeze his head, etc.) He is 9 pounds 3 oz. and getting fatter by the moment.

Sleep is still an issue, he is awake every night at 3 am with a belly ache for about 3 hours. Other than that, this kid is much easier than Ryan was. I think it helps that I can't hold him all the time like I did with Ryan.

Cameron at Week 1

Cameron is now 10 days old. He is still doing great. Mom is really tired. So is Dad. So is Grandma. Ryan and Jac are not.

Cameron James Kartchner

Cameron James Kartchner was born on Friday, August 14th at 8:45pm. He weighs 7 pounds 9 ounces and is 19 and 3/4 inches long. Mom and baby are doing great. The labor was pretty quick and easy. The delivery was very quick and easy.
