Camryn Turned 8!

Camryn's baptism (August 6, 2010) was PERFECT. I could not have imagined it to go any better! The spirit was so strong during the entire program. The support and love from family and friends was tremendous, my fantastic husband baptized our little girl, my mom was here, my sister was here, we had an amazing photographer capture the most tender moments, and Camryn loved every minute of her big day. Camryn has a very tender heart and is easily able to have the spirit touch her. It was very apparent that she felt the spirit during her baptism ceremony. I hope that she never forgets the way she felt on her special day. Camryn has the raddest primary teacher that just happens to be an AMAZING photographer. We were luckily enough to have her primary teacher (Vanessa) take some gorgeous pictures of Camryn a few days before her birthday.




There were so, SO many great pictures to choose from. Camryn and Vanessa make a great team!

My sweet little girl was able to get baptized in the same exact dress that I was baptized in so long ago! It meant so much to Camryn to get to wear the same dress that I did.


This was the most incredible encounter that I have ever witnessed! The few minutes that Dave and Camryn spent talking just before her actual baptism and the long embrace they shared right after will be etched in my heart forever. I am grateful and extremely lucky to have these two wonderful people as part of my eternal family.

Families can be together FOREVER! It was a long crazy day, but Vanessa with her talented skills was still able to capture a family photo worth posting. She even got a smile out of little Bryleigh who was very worn out to say the least!
Camryn wanted "fancy" cupcakes that she designed herself and just water! Her request was simple, and the cupcakes were delicious!


It really was one of the BEST days of my life! I love you Camryn! You are such a joy to have in our family.

Summer Gymnastics


The girls were enrolled in a summer gymnastic class and they all really enjoyed it!
Bryleigh has some natural tumble in her! She picked up the skills easily and did a great job! This little girl as so, SO much extra energy. Once she gets it channeled in the same direction we are going to have to watch out because she going to be going somewhere good!


Camryn was able to soar through her level this summer and pass off something like 28 exercises. She's got the one handed cartwheel down solid! She's also getting pretty good and the balance beam. She's got her signature pose all figured out! She loves to flip, slpit, and cartwheel where ever she find the open space.



For Jamie's first time in gymnastics she sure did great! She developed strength, flexibility, and coordination. She's got a killer summer salt and she's getting very close to getting into tripod position. She's also very close to doing the full splits. For Jamie, the best results were the friends that she made. She is a social little thing that loves to make new friends.
