Feb. 22, 1979 was a magical day...

Cameron had a birthday, shout hurray! River and I surprised Cameon with a birthday breakfast of strawberry topped waffles and maple syrup! Cams favorite dish of Shephards Pie turned out to be the perfect birthday dinner. Afterwards, we polished off the evening devouring devil's food cake with cream cheese frosting and peanut butter-fudge icecream.













I almost had to buy 2 boxes of candles just to get 28. Whew, somebody is getting old...

Cam finally got the BYU Men's Chior Cd he wanted!

Lights out.

Black and Gold

Good Luck Cougars! Good luck at state basketball Blake. We'll be cheering for ya.

With Love

Happy Valentines Day!

Why don't they make adult size onsies?

Another typical River face. She is laying on her 'horsey blankie'. My mom made it for the boy we were going to have, but instead River will have to be a cowgirl.

River's got mad skills!

We've noticed River doing things that she couldn't do before. Here are a few.

1- She can now successfully suck on her fingers. Sometimes we'll wakeup to loud slurping sounds coming from her crib!

2- grunting. loudly.

3- It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's superman! When River is on her tummy she lifts her arms and legs and rocks back and forth. (hey, that takes alot of muscle coordination!) I thought she was doing yoga, but Cameron thinks she is secretly a superhero.

4- grasping objects (placed expertly in her hands by a parent)

5- smiling back!

One Month Older and Wiser Too

NATIONAL LETTER-OF-INTENT DAY

SUU, Get Ready for the Stillman! Blake was offered a full-ride scholarship to Southern Utah University, playing football for the Thunderbirds! He met with the coach, Wes Meier, a couple of days ago, and had only one day to decide if he wanted to take the shcolarhip or not. Talk about pressure! In the end he decided it was a great opportunity and signed the letter of intent! Congrats! I got this article off of SUUs website, http://www.suu.edu/athletics , please feel free to read it.... pretty exciting stuff.

Kills 99.99% of Common Harmful Germs

It's official. We will be blessing River in Tooele on Sunday, March 11 at 11:00 and can't wait to see everyone! Rivers doctor said that it should be fine to take her on a plane even though she will only be 7 wks old. He also said to make sure that anyone who touches her washes their hands first because of the RSV risk. (I just know that I'm going to have an axiety attack thinking about all the nasty microbes lurking around the airport) Cameron will be lucky if I don't pack a Lysol can and spray everything in sight. Yep, I've been stocking up on the hand sanitizer, so prepare to be d-germed! No man, woman, child or household surface will escape unscathed!
