We went camping over the 4th of July weekend. It was super fun! I am really starting to like camping. I could of stayed another day even! But 3 was enough. It was the first time we missed the ShowLow Parade/Fireworks ever. We went with the Butler family and we had great fun! We got dirty, took walks, crafted, wrestled and of course ate really, really well! Carder and CR camping. Below Vinnie is wondering if Caden is taller. Yep, but we had to take one to show him! This is our new dog Louie. And Carders new hat from the neighbor boy. He loves the hat and his new dog Louie!
This picture is out of order but I forgot to add it below. This was on Carder's 2nd Birthday party over at the Wyatts but it is CR being held by his daddy. Kamrielle just finished up swimming lessons the end of June and as usual she loved every minute of it. This is the last day and they got to play a tag game. You can tell by her excited face below she was loving it. CR usually slept during them.
This is what happens when you have to much to post at one time. I get out of order a little. Kamrielle graduated from Kindergarten the end of May. she enjoyed Kindergarten so much and she really loved her two Teachers too!
This is Willie (Vinnies youngest brother) waiting outside the temple with Kamrielle and Carder
I almost forgot to add these two boys. Jace (Vinnies younger brother and Caden our oldest at the wedding. Jace is 18 mo. older than Caden but they are 1 grade apart in school. Good Buddies! Vinnies little sister got married in June. Hard to believe being that she was 2 when we got married. It was a fun day and these are some pics outside the Snowflake temple just after the ceremony. I wish I took some at the reception but did'nt. It was beautiful and shelby made a beautiful bride as well. Boots & All!
This is CR at about 2 mo. and then CR's Blessing Day and some of the attendees. We blessed him in May. We had to wait for the RSV season to die down and we were told not to take him to Church until summer. We were a little early but he was fine!
CR on his Boppy. We have to make sure and do tummy time. I was so bad with my other kids but now we have therapy that comes in once a week and so i have to do my homework. Kamrielle with CR below. My Carder turned 2 March 22nd! He is getting so big. These are some pics of CR getting bigger too. Around 2 mo.
Vinnie & I are truely grateful for my parents and to Richard & Marcy for opening there homes up to us as we were there for 3 weeks with CR in PCH. My mom and Marcy were wonderful to help take care of Kamrielle and Carder! Caden got to come on the weekends. It was hard to have our family seperated in every which way for what seemed like forever but looking back on it now. It was'nt so bad. This was one of the outings with Gpa & Gma. Riding the Ferris Wheel was a favorite! The picture below of the kids kissing CR was when they finally got to see him at 19 days old. It was the day we got to take him home. They had the RSV restrictions and so they had to wait. Below is CR being held by his namesake. My Gpa (my mom's dad) Carl and the "R" is for Ray after my mother-in-laws father. 5492131868752768818" /> This is the day we headed home but first goodbyes at my parents house.
Our precious baby boy Carl Ray "CR" was born Jan 31st. As you can see he went through a lot but doing so great now! Super late on posting his birth. But better late than never. This is I think one of Aunt Marcy's first visits. We could not hold him for what seemed forever. It was a wonderful day when we got too!

Visiting Melissa & Courtney's graves on Jan. 16th the day that Melissa passed away. This is also 2 weeks before I delivered CR.
