30th Birthday!

Do I feel different? No   Do I feel older? Nope  so it was just another birthday, but it was a lot of fun! Jake made me breakfast in bed and cute little Kambree wanted to eat her breakfast in bed with me. So she got under the covers and said, " Kambree's birthday, Kambree's turn". We had so much fun giggling as we ate our breakfast. I had to wash all the sheets though cuz there were LOTS of crumbs. :) In the evening we went to Dickey's Barbeque to eat and then were suppose to go to a movie. I have to say that I really was bummed to hear we were going to a movie. I don't usually go to movies a lot unless it is one that I am dying to see. Well Jake happened to leave our prepaid tickets at home. When we got home to pick them up he ran inside and then called me asking me if I could come help him find them. As I walked in to the house I heard "Surprise" from a lot of my friends who had came by for the celebration. We had ColdStone ice cream cake that was delicious and then played games. I also got a few gag gifts that helped me to feel old, a bed pan (at least it was pink), some arthritis pills and IcyHot cream. It was a great night and I couldn't have been more spoiled.

 Coming in the door!

 Lots of birthday candles!

It took 2 blows since I didn't take a big enough breath the first time.

Also my baby bump at 19 weeks pregnant. We did an ultrasound last night at Jake's work. I was so worried he was going to try and peak to see what we were having, but he didn't. It was so neat to see the baby moving all over the place and looking right at us.

2 going on 3!

One day last week I asked Kambree how old she was and told her to say 2. She did it great and then Jake got home and I asked her and she yelled 3! I kept trying to tell her she was 2 but she insists that she is 3. She has grown up all of the sudden and I begin to realize she isn't my cute little baby anymore. Just my cute little girl! She also decided a week before her birthday that she no longer wanted to sleep in a crib. She was climbing out several times a night and so we decided it was time to get a big girl bed. We got it at IKEA and I really love it even though it was more money than I wanted to spend on a bed. Hopefully it will last a really long time. 

Kambree loves it too and has been sleeping so well in it. I can't wait for my step mom to make her a cute quilt and get all the walls painted. 

For her birthday she had a party at Monkey Island with a few of her friends in the neighborhood. She wanted cow and dinosaur cupcakes so I made both but forgot to take pictures of the dinosaur ones. She got some fun presents and had a blast with her cute little friends. 

On Sunday we had a family party for her. She got a new little tea set from Jake and I and she loved eating her cupcake and pouring water in the little cups.

It was a great weekend we had a blast! Happy 2nd birthday Kambree :) Only a year away until you will really be 3! 

Birthday Month

Thank Heavens January is birthday month! It is so gross and cold outside and yet it is nice to have 3 birthdays to celebrate and make it go by quicker. My dad's birthday is on New Year's Day and then Kambree and mine is later in the month. For my dad's birthday we normally always go out to Sizzler with him and my grandparents, but Grandma and Grandpa weren't feeling well this year so I made dinner for my dad and we went bowling. Kambree liked bowling but not nearly as much as she liked the arcade games. She actually won the jackpot on one game and got 600 tickets!!! The machine started playing music and all the other kids and families were staring with their eyes wide open wishing they had won so many tickets. But Kambree didn't even get it. As much as I don't want her to grow up at that moment I was wishing she was 4 years old and would be jumping for joy. O well, we bought her a can of barrel of monkeys which she thought was candy and kept trying to eat.

Hope you all are having a great New Year! The only New Year's resolution I made was to keep my house from turing into a complete disaster and to dejunk and organize better. 

So far I am doing great at keeping it clean and keeping up on chores but haven't got to the dejunking and organizing yet. I don't know if I will ever get it as organized as my good friends Nicole and Heather's houses but everyone needs someone to look up to right? 

Merry Christmas 2010

We had so much fun during the holidays! It is so much fun to be able to have a child who was so excited about every present she opened. :) Here are some pictures of the fun things we have done the last couple of weeks.
                          Kambree all ready for church, this wasn't her Christmas dress I will have to take a picture of her in it because it looks so cute on her.

 She got into my mascara twice in one day! The first time I took a picture she said cheese and the second time she did it I think she knew I was not so happy.

 On Christmas Eve we made a birthday cake for baby Jesus. Kambree loved helping with all the cooking. She especially loved putting her hands in the batter and of course eating it.

Jake's mom and her Santa hat that she wears the whole month of December :) 

 Christmas day was fun, we had my family over for breakfast and presents. Kambree got spoiled rotten!

 2 days after Christmas is Loreen and Arlene's birthday. We make them a big fondue dinner and it was delicious! Jake and I had watched Minute to Win it the night before so we decided to play some of the games with everyone. This one is called Cliffhanger. You have to blow the card so it is just sitting on the edge of the counter. And of course all of these things you have to do in 1 minute.

 I was the winner on this game, I got it on the first try.

 THe next one you had to spin a dime and then stop it and have it stand up vertically. I think it was a tie between Jake, Lance and Alisha. They all got it 3 times. I didn't even get it once.

 We then played Dizzy Mummy. You have to unravel a whole roll of toilet paper by spinning in circles. Jake didn't even finish, it made him too sick. Mom and Alisha were the best although I think Alisha won by just a few seconds.

 It made you so dizzy, my head just kept spinning even after I stopped.

 Caddy Shack: this was the hardest for sure! Stack 3 golf balls and have them stay balancing without holding onto them for 3 seconds. Lance, Alisha and Arlene could stack at least 2 of them it was the last one that nobody could get.

 Noodling Around: Pick up 6 pieces of penne pasta with an uncooked spaghetti noodle. Jake was the fastest on this one.

 Face the Cookie: You have to move an oreo cookie from your forehead to your mouth only using your facial muscles. Arlene got it every time!

 The other night our house was a complete disaster, as it seems to be a lot lately. We decided to just play a game with Kambree and told her to go get some pants out of her dresser. She brought 2 whole drawers of shirts, dresses, and jackets but it took her quite a while to get the pants. SHe was so entertained and we didn't really mind the mess since there already was one.

Hope you all had a great Christmas! We are so grateful for our family and friends who we were able to share so many fun memories with this Holiday season.
