Footloose at Tuacahn

Since Sam works at a hotel and does a lot of business for Tuacahn, she gets free tickets to every show. Last night she set up a babysitter for Kambree, and gave her tickets to Footloose to Brian and I. The last time that Brian and I went out alone, just the 2 of us, with no Kambree was in November for my birthday. My parents babysat and gave us money to go out for the night. Anyways, it has been a really long time! 7 months! It was so fun to get out and the show was so good! I love being so close to Tuacahm, we have been to a show every year that we have been in St. George. Thanks Sam for setting up a date night for the 2 of us! We love you!

Smore's-n-more

*On fathers day we attempted to make a dutch oven the way that Chris and Tiffani did when we were at the cabin in Idaho. It was pretty good, not as good as Chris's but it was still good. For dessert we decided to make some smores. We don't have a fire pit so we decided to roast the marshmallows over the grill. But when we went outside there were so many cockroaches on the ground and the walls that Brian wouldn't go outside! He hates cockroaches! So instead of the grill Brian came up with the idea to use a lighter! Ghetto style!

*Kambree is crawling all over the house! She still isn't on her hands and knees yet, but she is getting pretty fast at doing the army crawl. She loves to crawl under her little activity center.

*Last night we spent $82.00 on one of our hundred dollar gift cards at Natural Grocers and I feel like we got nothing. We left with only 2 bags worth of stuff. A gallon of milk was $5.00! Free money is free money! We can't complain. Sleeping out was so worth it!

*Brian called the Brian Head Medical Center to find out how much left we owe them from when he dislocated his shoulder. They were talking for a minute and at the end of the conversation the guy told Brian that they would bring it to a zero balance since Brian was so nice to him. All the guy asked us to do is to write a letter to the GM at Brian Head and tell them how good the clinic was doing. I can do that... it saves us $150 to $200 dollars! We were so happy!

Here are Kambree's 6 month pictures. I know.... a little late considering she is 7 months now. But, she was technically 6 months when they were taken!

Natural Grocers

So a couple weeks ago in the mail I got a flier for the Grand Opening for a Natural Grocers which is a health food store. On the flier it said that the first 50 people get $100.00 gift certificate to their store, the next 50 got $50.00 and the next 400 got $25. We needed groceries so bad so I saved the flier and planned on waking up early that morning to get my $100.00. As the day got closer and closer people started talking about it, it seamed like everyone was going.

Even though I had already told him about it, Brian called me on Thursday super excited to tell me about this new store opening and he told me that we are going to sleep out Friday night so that we don't miss the gift card. (men listen so well) So we decided to go around 12:00 or 1:00 in the morning to reserve our spot.

Friday night came around and we were getting anxious so Brian decided to drive by to see if anyone was there yet. It was around 9:30 pm when he got there. He called and told me that there was a couple people, but as we were talking on the phone more and more people were driving up and getting out of their cars, so Brian decided to get in line before it got longer. So at this time I called my friends Chelsie and Matt who were already packed up and ready to go. They went to save the spot while Brian came to pick Kambree and I up along with some chairs, blankets, games, and even Karl. When we got there it was about 10:30 and there were about 20 people in line. I was relieved to know that we were for sure getting that hundred dollars! Sam met up with us and some of her friends. At first they weren't really planning on staying, but they since they were there, they decided to hop in line since they would for sure get that hundred dollars also. In the beginning it was pretty easy to stay awake, more and more people continued to come. The new people just getting there would come to the front and start counting to make sure that they were in the first 50 people. So many came to count us that I remember where we were in line. Matt, Chelsie, Brian and I were numbers 5, 6, 7 and 8 and Sam and her friends were 24, 25 and 26!

Kambree would not go to sleep. She fell asleep a couple times, but not for more than 10 minutes. There was just so much going on like the girls next to us playing slap jack and the man talking so loud all night long that the whole line could hear him. By the morning time, everyone was sick of him! Anyways, she wasn't fussy and she didn't cry, she just wouldn't sleep! Around 2:45 in the morning she was still awake and happy just getting attention from everybody! I decided that it was getting too late so I put her in the car and drove around for a little bit, after that she was out till about 6:00 am. She defiantly got the most sleep out of all of us!

I am not sure what time it was when Brian and I finally laid down but when we did, we didn't get much sleep, it started to rain. It was really more of a sprinkle. Anyways, it was an eventful long night! But when they opened the doors, I got $100, Brian got $100 and Samantha got $100.

$300.00 total for organic groceries!!

Brian's BIG catch!

On the morning of Brian's 25th birthday Brian and Chris decided to go out fishing one last time before we left the cabin. They were catching fish and putting them back in the water and when they were getting ready to leave Brian decided to cast out one more time. He caught a fish and the hook caught the fish right below its eye, so Brian was trying to get it out. As he was doing that the fish started to wiggle and his thumb got stuck with the other hook. It wasn't bad until the fish started to wiggle some more and it went deeper and deeper into his thumb. They came home and Grandpa drove Brian down to Ashton, Idaho to a medical center which was about 30 minutes away. The hook was too deep to just push through so the doctor had to make an incision and pull it out. In the end, his thumb got a band aid, we saved the hook, and the fish, well... he got put in the freezer till someone gets hungry! Not the best way to start out his birthday! We have decided that Brian's has bad luck when he goes fishing with Chris!

These were the fish that Brian and Chris had caught a couple days before. We cooked them up for lunch! I don't eat fish, so I didn't try them but everyone said that they were really meaty and good! Brian's fish was 16'' and Chris's was 18''.

7 months and 25 years

Kambree is 7 months! I just can't believe how much she has grown! She does the army crawl and I am sure that she will be crawling on her hands and knees in no time!

About a week and a half ago we went up to Island Park for Brian's 25th Birthday! His grandparents have a cabin up there, so we decided to have a nice relaxing weekend with friends and family! Brian's grandparents were up there with us, Sam also came and so did Tiffani and Chris. We love it up there!

Kambree

These are from our BBQ that we had a couple weeks ago!

Island Park

We are going to Island Park on Thursday morning! It is so beautiful up there I can't wait! I defiantly need a little break from the real world! Brian's grandparents have a cabin up there, so we are going for Brian's 25th birthday! I can't believe he is turning 25! Doesn't this mean we get an auto insurance discount!?! I hope so :)

6 month check up!

Kambree got more shots today. Poor girl!

Every time she gets them, it just breaks my heart :(

But, she is a very healthy baby girl!

Here are her stats:

Weight- 16 lbs and 8.5 oz in the 58%

and surprisingly her

Length- 26.57 inches in the 76%

Brian and I were betting on her weight. He guessed 20 lbs and I said between 17 and 18 lbs.

The doctors assistant also guessed and she was right on. She guessed 16 lbs, I was impressed! But then she does this all day long :)

Like always, Kambree went right to sleep. Hopefully she will have a better day because the last time she got them it was a pretty bad!

My little bow model!

Isn't she cute?

It's time...

I have to go private. Give me your e-mails if you want to see our blog.
