Stickers!

We do the Disney movie rewards and they sent stickers in the mail to us. Brian and Kambree had some fun with them and put them all over her face. She is so silly! Love this girl!

My little guy!




He is so stinkin cute! I love his kissable cheeks! He is growing way to fast! By the way, that is Kambree's old sit-n-play. That explains the pink! :)

Potty trained!

Yay! Kambree is finally potty trained!! I devoted 1 day to her training and did nothing else! We set the timer for every 20 minutes. We cheered and clapped and sang silly songs every time she went potty. She caught on right away going #1 but going #2 took a few days. I used Mighty Minni Popsicles to bribe her, they worked like a charm. We started a few days before Christmas and she has only had 2 accidents since then! It has been 3 weeks since her last accident. I am so happy and proud of my little girl! I can't believe how big she is getting, it is so bitter sweet.
I love watching her learn and grow but I miss my little chubby baby.


p.s. She's not very happy in these pictures, but they are the only ones I have!

New Year

Every new year my grandma made homemade donuts. So last year I decided to do the same. Last years turned out much better but these ones were still yummy! We spent the New Years Eve with Brian's parents. After making donuts and spending time with family we went up to Hualapai and 215 to watch the fireworks on the strip. Kambree stayed up all night but fell asleep on the ride to see the fireworks. We woke her up and she loved the fireworks.

Kaden joined our family last year which made 2010 a great year. We are so excited to see what twenty eleven has to offer us.

No diet for me...

Just a lifestyle change. I watch Biggest Loser and the show on MTV called I used to be fat. Everyone blames the parents because the child doesn't know any better. I am not going to lie, we give Kambree soda, popsicles, candy, chips and etc.! I am not proud of it. In fact I used to be obsessed with making sure I don't give her any bad foods, but it was easier to give in than to fight with her. I realized that if I don't buy these bad foods then she wont ask for them, and why is it okay for Brian and I to eat those kind of foods but not Kambree? If Kambree is overweight when she gets older I don't want her to be able to blame me for it. So I am starting a lifestyle change for my family. It will be hard and I will have to learn a lot because I was taught that the more butter, cream, and cheese that you use the better it will taste. That's how I was taught, that's how my mom was taught and so on. The chain stops here. Brian volunteered himself to eat all the bad stuff in our cupboards! :) Wish us luck!

Christmas at Gma and Gpa Grahams

After we opened up our gifts from Santa we got ready and went to Brian's parents house. When we got there Cindy made an amazing breakfast! It was so yummy! She makes this thing called German pancakes. ( I think that is what it is called) Not crepes. It is baked in a dish. It is so delicious! I look forward to it every Christmas morning! Yum!

We got to talk to Sam for a while. She was able to get on Skype and we talked for a few hours. It was so fun talking to her! I miss her so much! Only 5 and a half more months till we get to talk to her again on Mothers day then only a month after that she will be home! June 22nd to be exact! I can't wait!

After breakfast and talking to Sam we exchanged gifts. Kamrbee got more books and this cool leap frog reading thing. She also got a coloring book with markers, a princess white board, make up, blocks, and a Disney Princess sing a long dvd. Melissa made Kamrbee the cutest blanket which she loves! Brian got a 49er sweater, and some UNLV gear. He is all set for all his UNLV games! And I got a camera from his parents! I love it! Mine was so old, I needed a new one so bad!

After we opened all the gifts we played with all our new toys for a while before dinner. Cindy made the best dinner! It was so good I probably gained 5 lbs in just that one day! She set the whole table, it looked so amazing! She is so good at entertaining!


Here are just a few pictures I took from my new camera!

And here are some of my little handsome guy! Can't get enough of him!


Great food and time with family... Christmas was amazing! I am so grateful for Brian's family and all they did for us!

Christmas morning!

On Christmas eve we met at Brian's grandparents with the whole family. We had dinner then did our stocking for Christ. His grandparents are making it a tradition to write our gift to Christ down on a piece of paper and putting it in his white stocking. We write down the things that we want to work on throughout the year as our gift to him. We then exchanged gifts, played games, and ate dessert!
Once we got home we made our cookies for Santa and put them out by the tree with some egg nog. Kambree didn't quite understand what we were doing, all she wanted to do was eat all his cookies. The first thing she said when she woke up in the morning was "Santa cookies". She hoped out of bed and went to check on them. She kept saying "all gone! Santa eat em! all gone!"

We then started opening presents! It was so fun watching her. She loved opening presents! When she would open a new present she would suck in air and say in her high pitched voice "oh my gosh!". For her big present Santa gave her a princess 4-wheeler. It was so funny watching her ride it. She would just go forward, not turn the wheels and run into things. She got the hang of it after a while. She was so happy! I got so much joy out of watching how happy Kambree was! I just love that girl so much!



Christmas with Gma and Gpa V.

My parents came to Vegas the weekend before Christmas to celebrate our Christmas together. We didn't take pictures, just video. I need get better at taking pictures of these kind of events :) Kambree got lots of books, a cute little purse with makeup and... do you remember this??


... and this??




At Thanksgiving we were looking through toy catalogs and I told my mom that I wanted the record player for Christmas. Come to find out that she had already bought it before I asked for it! Kambree loves them both, almost as much as me!
She also got Monsters Inc. which we watched all the way through. At the end when Sully is saying goodbye to the little girl, Kambree got sad and started crying. She also cried at the end of Toy Story 3 the other day when she was watching it with Brian. He said she got sad and cried when Woody waved goodbye. What an emotional little girl! She is just like her mama!
I got a vacuum, which I love!!! Our $6 vacuum from DI just wasn't cutting it! Brian got his Frank Gore 49er jersey that he has been wanting forever!
Thanks guys... he wears the jersey almost everyday!!
After we opened up gifts we got ready and went to eat at the Belagio buffet. I think we were there for almost 3 hours! We got there right at the end of lunch so we waited for the dinner to come out! As always, it was super yummy!
After dinner Brian and I went to his work party while Gma and Gpa V. and Amanda stayed at home with the kids!
The next morning we went to eat at Ihop and then we hung out at Costco for a while. It was really a fun weekend, and I am so grateful for all my parents do for us. I love when they get to come and visit! Kambree loves it too, she love to see dama, gampa, uncle Coo-y, and Jessie (the dog!)

Curlers!

Okay, I have been wanting to do this for a while now! I couldn't wait to have a little girl so I could put curlers in her hair. She doesn't have much hair so I bought the smallest curlers they had. (I wish they had the small ones in pink like the ones I used to wear) Anyways, she looked like little orphan Annie when we took them out. I think I need to wait till her hair is a little bit longer! :)
