Burke, Burtie, Burkilicious, devil dog,....Happy 3rd Birthday!!! We LOVE you!



Burke turned 3 today. I thought I'd devote a section of the blog to the 3rd member of the family. Although maybe you were put on the left back-burner once the 4th family member came along, we never forgot you. You actually kind of prepared us for the little terrorist who is now Austin. If we didn't have to deal with a maniac dog first, we wouldn't be accustomed to the chaos that is having a baby. But we really do appreciate all that you bring to the family. I LOVE playing hide and seek with you, Austin LOVES to feed you his food that he doesn't want, and Boy Cam LOVES to clean up all your messes! Thanks for getting out of the eating toilet paper phase, being fairly easy to potty train, and putting up with the pack n' play at Grandpa and Grandma Seamons' house. You were the first granddog....and probably the last. But what would life be like with out you? Perhaps a little cleaner, a little quieter, but surely not NEARLY as fun!

How do I add the friends link?

Ok, so I know I'm not a very proficient blogger yet...this has already become common fact since i have waited 3 months to post a comment. I want to add the friends link on my blog, and I can't see where I can do that. Any ideas?

Austin is learning to share....with Burke



Tonight I attempted the sippy cup again, and Austin actually seemed to like it this time. He didn't really get it before, and he always got mad when there was juice instead of milk in it. Maybe he just needed a couple of weeks. He also found out it was fun to drop the sippy on the floor right after mom picked it up for him...little stinker! I think Burke gets slightly envious of all the attention Austin gets, but his time for tail pulling and nose grabbing is coming!

We moved in finally






We've finally moved in! I think I've used the dishwasher at least 10 times in the past week and a half...I think it is my favorite thing about this place. Oh, and not having neighbors living below us, sharing a washer and dryer, a garage, the list goes on and on. Moving was a chore, but with all the help we got from everyone, it wasn't too bad. Here are some pictures of Austin playing on the floor before we moved everything in, Cam got excited about cleaning the new fridge, and the backyard. I can't wait for there to be grass!

Austin tries a Ritz



I guess I have a lot of catching up to do here. I was looking through my mound of pictures, and I came across this one that I took at Cam's parents house. Grandma gave Austin a ritz to try out, and he LOVED it, as you can see. It is mostly all over his face, but I think he enjoyed it nonetheless. This was a couple of weeks ago, and since then, he has gotten three baby teeth in. They've put him a little under the weather this past week, which hasn't been very fun for any of us. Hopefully it won't last long, and he'll be back to being himself soon. Kristen, Hannah, and Olivia came to visit us in August, and it was a party! We love you guys!

The Slacker has Returned!!!





I guess I really have no excuse for not posting something since June, but I guess time just flies when you are having fun. Since June, Cam got a new job at Hill Air Force Base, we bought a house in West Haven, and finally left Cache Valley. I don't mean that in a bad way. I absolutely love Cache Valley, and I hope we can move back there someday, but it is kind of nice to have a change of scenery. Not to mention the better restaurant selection. Anyway, here are some pics of the new house.
