We went to visit Papa EK (my Dad) at his fire station for Father's Day. Or as they as in Hawaii - Fada's Day. Lila and Chloe had a blast playing in the fire truck and ambulance. Thanks for letting us share the day with you Dad!

Who does the laundry? Me. I’m really, really great at washing/drying the laundry. Not so hot at the actual folding and putting away…

The Quest
No more excuses....I've pretty much been pregnant for the last 2 years and "post-baby" for 5 years. It's time to get in shape. But I need some motivation! Any one out there willing to get on a program together? Any one have some great ideas to get me going?? I NEED HELP!
Kangaroo Zoo - It's Really A Zoo....
On Friday I met some girlfriends at Kangaroo Zoo to let our kids have some fun. It was a little crazy!! Chloe kept running away and it is hard to keep track of her while taking care of Max. I totally took advantage of being able to play without a care while I was a kid!!
Thanks Kristi - I stole this picture from your blog!! Most of our kids are still playing on the toys. And yes, Max is hiding under my blanket! :)
Dinner with the Girls
Last week I went to dinner with the Blaser/Bonney girls while Grandma Bonney and Angie were in town. Here are some fun pictures from our girls night out!
Surprise!
Today we went to a surprise birthday party Jay Larsen. Boy was it a surprise - his birthday isn't until September!! But Shyla wanted to throw a party for him while his brother Pete is here on leave from Iraq. It was so fun! We surprised Jay at Ruby Tuesday's in Park City for lunch and then went up to the Olympic Park. Ryan, Marc and Lila rode the Alpine Slide together and Lila had a blast! She loved going fast. While they were riding, Mom, Joe, Helen, Chloe, Warrik, Violet and I played on the playground equipment next to the ski lift. It was also fun to watch the skiers who were practicing on the jumps.
It was fun to see Pete. He's been gone for a while. On the way up to Park City, we had a patriotic moment when "God Bless the USA" came on the radio. It got me thinking about all the sacrifices our soldiers are making for us. I wanted to tell Pete thank you for all he is doing, but I was afraid I might get emotional, so I didn't say anything. :( I'll have to write him a letter...
Thanks to Shyla for planning a fun day!Friday, June 06, 2008
Flashback Friday - The Spider Dance
When my Mama and Papa (my Mom's Mom and Dad) would come to visit when I was little, I used to anxiously wait for the second Papa would say "Why don't you warm up your fingers Cammi?" I loved playing the piano for him. I would practice and practice for weeks before they came because I wanted to make sure all of my songs were perfect. When I was 8, I learned a song called "The Spider Dance". After I told Papa the name of the song and started to play, Papa began to dance around! I thought it was hilarious. It quickly became a tradition. I would always play the Spider Dance for him, no matter how much more advanced I got. And he would always dance.

The Wards
My friend Reathanak sent me pictures of her kids today and I had to post it because they are so beautiful!! This is SaVonni, LJ, and JoJo Ward. Aren't they the cutest kids you've ever seen??
Ra - I can't believe we are mommies of 3! Who would have thought??
Seven Peaks - Day 1
I got season passes for us this year so I could get the kids out of the house a couple of times a week. And let me tell you, it's hard work!!! 3 kids under 5 at Seven Peaks is not relaxing. Hopefully Chloe will calm down and not try to run away every chance she gets once we've been there a few times. Lila had a great time though. She is my little fish. Max, as usual, was an angel. He loved being out in the sunshine. Amy got a season pass too, so at least we will be able to hang out together.

Flashback Friday
I've been working on scanning all of my old pictures, so I thought it would be fun to start doing Flashback Friday (like a few other blogs I've seen) and sharing some of my old memories.
Nes - remember when we took off to California on a whim and ended up staying for a week? We were crazy...but it was one of the funnest times I've had! What were we thinking packing shorts and tank tops in December??? I can't believe we made it from LA to Vegas in time for the New Year - and we even got a parking space!!! By the time we got home, I was SO tired I think I slept for a whole day.

Huntington Beach
Madame Tussaud's wax museum was so much fun!!!
Universal Studios

Happy New Year from the Vegas Strip!

The Audacity
I'm not usually one to talk politics, but after seeing this video I felt it was important to post it for everyone to see. Do we really want a president who refuses to put his hand over his heart during the national anthem or wear an American flag pin? A man who is willing to lift the ban on meeting with terrorist leaders and wants to sit down with them to talk face to face? I don't..... The list goes on and on. The video is 10 minutes long, but take the time to watch the entire thing. It's eye opening.
Gang o' Strollers
I've started walking in the mornings with some other ladies from the ward and we are slowly turning into a stroller gang! There are usually 7 - 9 of us and I'm sure we are a funny sight to see. It's been a really nice way to get to know some of the sisters better.

And The Cat Came Back...
There is a strange cat that keeps scratching on Max's window and I'm not sure what to do about it... I think it is a stray, but I'm not sure. I had this great idea to run up the stairs and try to catch it when I heard it scratching today, but then I thought "What would I do with it?" I'm deathly allergic to cats and I hate them anyway. But I don't want it scratching on the window anymore!! Any ideas from all you resourceful people out there??
Max's Blessing Day
Max had a great blessing day. Marc did a really good job with the blessing. We were lucky to be able to share the day with Max's Great Grandma Bonney who was in town from Florida. He looked so cute in a blessing outfit made by Lynne. Thank you to everyone who helped share our special day!

Lila's Preschool Graduation
I can't believe what a big deal they make out of everything these days.... I don't remember doing anything like this when I left preschool! They sang songs about all of the things they learned - days of the week, months of the year, the planets, "Leo the Lion", the "splish-splash" dance and lots more! They also received a certificate and a trophy because they also did gymnastics. Lila was cute and I'm proud of her for the work she did in class. She's going to be my overachiever! Lila made some good friends during the year. She will miss seeing them. The little boy in the last picture is Tiago. I think he is Lila's first "crush", but she won't admit to it! :)
