HOME!!!!

Hey Everyone!! I hope everyone had GREAT holidays. We were very blessed and my mom, dad and sister Melissa and her kids came and spent the holidays with us in Branson. We had a lot of fun.

We've spent the past week traveling across the country. We were up in Kansas City for New Years Day, then we drove to Denver and spent some time there with friends, then we drove into Salt Lake City last night. YAY!!! I love being "home." Even though Branson is technically my home, it just doesn't feel like "Home" the same way that Salt Lake does. We'll be here for about a month.

I'm a nerd and totally forgot my USB plug to my camera in Branson. So, I'll have to borrow my sisters camera and upload our Christmas pictures using her camera. Hopefully I'll get those pictures on here soon because we took some cute ones.

Meanwhile, I'm going to enjoy this beautiful snowy weather and these absolutely gorgeous mountains. I'm also really hoping to see some of you very soon.... Ang, Dani, Annie....PLAY DATE ASAP!!!!!

Thanksgiving and Halloween

Okay, so I know I'm one of the worst Bloggers in the world. But here's a quick recap.

Cameron's parents came to visit for Thanksgiving and we got some darling "18 month old" pictures taken of Kashton. Sorry I couldn't make them any bigger.

His Grandma took him to see Santa at the mall. He wasn't even that scared of him.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Monster

We went to Silver Dollar City and rode some rides.

Look at that sweet face, all bundled up tight.

We went up to Aunt Kay's and Uncle Mike's house in Springfield for Thanksgiving Dinner. This was in the backyard.

He LOVED the grand piano....and so did Mommy and Daddy!!!

Ron and Elaine (Cam's parents) came to see us perform on the Showboat. (I'll post some pictures of our show later)

We went to the Butterfly Palace.

Out to eat at Danna BBQ

My favorite picture

We went to the Branson Zoo and fed the llama and deer.

Cool Dude!!!

I have red hair now.

Me and Kelly at our work's Chili Party. How we kick off the fall season.

Halloween at Bob's Halloween party. Kashton and Parker. Kashton was Superman (or baby) and Parker was Jack Jack!

Halloween night. He got the idea very quickly, however we're "those one parents" who are really mean and don't let their kids have candy. Kashton still hasn't really had any candy but we sure did enjoy it. :)

And that's all folks!!!

Our Trip to Denver

The first of October, we took some time off work (actually, Cam had vacation days) and we made a little trip to Denver, Colorado to visit our friends that we haven't seen in a while. We had SO much fun visiting with them all. We took SO many pictures and Eric and Sariah were so nice to send us home with a whole bunch of pictures as well. I couldn't put all of the pictures on here....you might get bored looking at 100 pictures of us in Denver. :) However, here are just some of my favorites.

We went to Eldorado Springs and went hiking and played in the water.

I LOVE this picture. He threw a rock into the water and I caught him clapping and SO excited about the splash he made.

He kept picking up the rocks and putting them in his mouth. YUCK!!!

We had so much fun with Joshua and his awesome family. It was so good to see him and spend some time with him. This is Eric, Joshua, my baby boy, and my big boy Cameron.
Kashton had so much fun with Sariah. He loves her.
Cool Dude!!!
Uncle Eric and Aunt Sariah took Kashton "Fall Clothing" shopping and spoiled him ROTTEN. Thank you so much you guys. We love you and had so much fun.

We went to the Denver Aquarium and Kashton absolutely loved it. This is him and Cameron petting the sting rays.

All wet!

Petting more fish. I've never been to an aquarium where it's okay to touch the fish. It was kinda cool.

Sadly, we had a tragedy and Cameron lost his head.

Kashton was NOT amused.
Eric petting the fish. SLIMY!!!

This lady was cleaning a huge tank and Kashton was completely fascinated with her. We couldn't pull him away. He kept waving and pointing at her.

Playing Eric's piano. He takes after his daddy.

We also went to Estes Park and that was the most beautiful place that I've been to in a long time. Thanks so much for taking us there Eric and Sariah. We ate outside at this Italian restaurant.

Little Flirt!!!

Playing on the slides with Sariah.

It was Elk season and they were everywhere.

At Estes Park

Thanks so much Josh, Eric, and Sariah. That was the best vacation we've had in a LONG time. We love you!!!!
