HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAMRIE!!

  

We celebrated Camrie's 3rd birthday a few days early in Beaver since Grandma and Grandpa Smith were leaving for a trip to China on Sunday, which was Camrie's Birthday, all our family was there, except Aunt Steph who was on her way home from POST, to see Gma and Gpa anyway.  Gpa Webb and Gma Kaye came over and we had a yummy BBQ.  We had hopes for sunny weather and took the slip n slide, but got yucky cold winds and sprinkles instead...Boo for that!  Camrie loved her Hello Kitty cake and would run into the kitchen to check on the progress and exclaim each time, "oh mom I just LOVE her, she is SOOO beautiful!

Sunday morning, before she even got out of bed....she requested a birthday hat and that she needed it before she could get up... ya know - gotta make an entrance, just in case we had forgotten it was her birthday! She had a birthday cinnamon roll, and then was sad when I squashed her plan of wearing her red birthday hat to church.  Later she chose Black Bear Diner for her birthday dinner and wasn't quite sure what to think when everyone came out to sing Happy Birthday day and bring her ice cream (they didn't even have to ask if it was her birthday...the red birthday hat did all the talking!)

We had Nick, Paige, and Josh over for birthday cupcakes and ice cream, and to watch the solor eclipse....what a fun event to share on her birthday!

Camrie loves being 3 and she as practiced doing '3' with with her fingers so much, that they can almost do it without her thinking about it too much :) She loves being 3 so much, that yesterday in her Bumblebee class, she kept telling her friends that she was now 3 AND the oldest in the class....She moves up to the Dragonfly class next week and she can't hardly stand the wait!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAMRIE!! We love you so much, and love having  you in our family...I can't even begin to imagine how dull and boring our lives would be with out you!!

Party in Beaver

 

So excited to get a Jessie doll!



Camrie and Mom went to vist Sheina and get our hair done for her birthday



Mother's Day 2012

I love being a momma! I have 4 awesome kids and a hubby that spoil me rotten.  Besides it being my call weekend at the hospital, it was a great weekend.  Friday night was the Father and Son's campout and Camrie got to go too since I worked late and was on call.  That day at school she told everyone that her dad was going to turn her into a boy for the night when they went camping...pretty cute! they went to Cedar Pocket with the trailer and had a fun time playing in the Virgin river. 

Saturday they came home WAY TOO EARLY!! I need a 'do over' weekend where I don't have to work and can enjoy the time to myself!! really I was glad to have them home minus the sand! Sunday we went to Black Bear Diner for dinner and the ER paged me just after we ordered, so we boxed it all up and head to DRMC.  Troy and the kids played outside and even got to get in the Life Flight helicopter and take a little look around, everytime we go to the hospital we have to drive past the 'heli-heli-helicopter' as the kids call it and see if it's there.  This time one of the pilots just happened to be checking it over when Troy and the kids walked over, they loved it!  A big THANKS to the BEST mom ever...MY MOM! I love you and appreciate all you taught me!



I love my little cuties and their gifts they made me



Tanner made me this awesome necklace - and it was a hit at church! the heart is made from his fingerprints!

I love you all thanks for all you do for me and reminding me how blessed I am to be a Mom!

A BLAST FROM THE PAST....

I came into work the other day and heard Dr. Oldroyd around the corner saying something about my cute family pictures I asked what the heck he was talking about and he said oh  you better come and see.....Obviously it was a SLOW night in Xray!!

 

Funny how hair styles change, I had the feathered look of the 80's and the tall bangs of the 90's...and holy cow check out my glasses!! Troy's senior picture even made it on the board too!



Hmmm....and just what do we have here???

Today at Camrie's appointment with the Ear Nose and Throat doctor, out of her cute little tiny left nostril came one of these....

YES...a FULL SIZED ALMOND!  After at least 6 months of thick, green, runny boogers, and the last few months of breath that could knock you over, we took her in to see what was going on.  I never really imagined that she would put something up her nose, and an almond at that, but again, she is 2.  Almonds are not a staple at our house by any means, they give Troy giant cankers, and I can eat a few in trail mix, which leads me to think that's where it came from, but my trail mix cravings come & go in spurts and besides the stash I have right now, the last box I got from Costco I probably took camping in September! Besides the fact that kids do the craziest things, you'd think it would hurt or be uncomfortable to have something that size wedged in such a tiny space (unless she has her dad's sinuses...) but she never complained of anything.
Anyway, she was AMAZING! Troy said the tears just streamed down her cheeks but she held so still while the mystery foreign body was removed.  When I asked her how the almond got in her nose she said, in her very Camrie sort of way, "I think it just jumped right in there mom!"  Her nostril is about 2x the size of the right side for now, but hopefully since she has been on an antibiotic for the past 3 weeks, she won't have any post infection or problems. 

When Braxton was about 5 he pulled pieces of the rubber mat that the outdoor playground equipment sits on and put them in both his and a friend's ears.  Troy took his otoscope to the friend's house to make sure there wasn't anything in his ear, and luckily for Braxton everyone's ears were clear.

So.....

That leaves 2 more Webb children to surprise us with their creativeness....in placing things where they ought not to be...


Bring it on Tanner and Kason.....We're ready!!!

Princess or tomboy???

If there ever was a princess/tomboy....it's Camrie!! That's my girl!

...It's beginning to feel a lot like summertime....

Town square and the river....It's SUMMERTIME!!!

Zion - April 24, 2012

While Troy was teaching CPR to some of the Zion National Park shuttle bus drivers at their hub in the park, the kids and I took advantage of the time to do a little sight seeing of our own. I have been to Springdale a few times, but I haven't spent much time in Zion, in fact I can count on one hand how many times I've actually been inside the park.  To be honest, I was probably 10 the last time I was there with June, our Japanese summer exchange student and don't really remember being all that impressed with it all.  I guess I just compare it to Bryce Canyon, where I literally spent 5 summers there with my college besties that are from Tropic.  No comparison in my book!!
Anyway....I was told by a few women that I was a great, ambitious mom, for loading my 4 young children, stroller, and overloaded diaper bag on and off the shuttle bus to trek around Zion! It was so fun and the kids were so good!  We loved being so close to the deer and watching them graze, and of course we were among a crowd snapping pictures of the deer like crazy when Camrie yelled quite loudly..."don't you like to shoot those mom?" That was our cue to move along!
Weeping Rock was fun, and Camrie loved getting 'rained' on.  We saw turkeys, lizards, deer, and billions of fuzzy green caterpillars everywhere which freaked Braxton out.  We met back up with Troy and tried to catch 'Treasure of the Gods' but  was too late.  It's been almost 17 years since I saw it last!
We had yummy food at the Bumbleberry Inn restraunt and headed home.  So I will say that I can't wait to go back and hike again...preferably sans children - but Zion really is breath taking!
