I'm in Love!

February is the month of love and I wanted to express my love for my family. I have a wonderful husband who puts up with me. He doesn't complain when he comes home to a messy house and no sign of dinner, and he answers my phone calls even though I usually only have random things to say. We've been together for 7 years and I've enjoyed every minute!

Kaylee is so creative and loves to learn. Everyday she finds some sort of art project to do. She recently had an interest in sewing. She found a scrap of fleece and some felt pieces and "sewed" a blanket with patches. The needle and thread thing got a little too complicated, so she prefers sticking things together with that yellow tacky stuff. She's also really interested in learning about how things are done. For example, we were watching "High School Musical 3" and she kept asking how they did certain special effects. My favorite way to answer is, "I don't know, what do you think?" She comes up with some pretty could ideas :) When we went to the Draper Temple open house I was trying to explain some of the things we do in the temple. She was really interested in knowing what happens after we die. What an important thing to learn at such a young age. I love Kaylee so much and am glad we can be together forever!

Jace is so cute. He's at that age when he says the cutest things. He loves playing with older kids. He thinks they are so cool. A friend in the ward tended my kids while I went to the dentist. They have a 4-year-old named Jackson. For days he talked about him. "I asked Jackson how old he is and he is 4." "Jackson has a transformer and I broke his arm off." "I played a race car game at Jackson's house, and it goes really fast." and on, and on, and on! Jace also has a nurturing and loving side to him. He will randomly give me hugs and I tell you, there ain't nothing better than that! He has a cabbage patch doll that Grandma Robinson gave him. He named him Cameron :) (It gets a little confusing sometimes.) He takes care of his Cameron like I take care of my Cameron. He puts him on the potty, tucks him in his bed, and even breastfeeds him! I love it!



Cameron is such a joy to have. He is the happiest baby ever. Now that he is crawling he is constantly putting things in his mouth! It was so much easier keeping things off the floor when Kaylee was a baby. I don't remember finding stickers and pieces of paper in Kaylee or Jace's poop :) He's recently discovered the tupperware drawer and Mookie's food dish. He loves that dog...from a distance. This is a picture of him watching Mookie run around playing with a toy. He had the biggest smile on his face!



It's amazing how much Cameron and Mookie are alike. I'm pretty sure they have about the same IQ. They both follow me around the house, and are chewing on things they shouldn't. I think I say "Cameron, no!" as much as I say "Mookie, no!" The cutest thing ever was when they were fighting over the same toy! Cameron was playing with a slinky and Mookie took it from him and went across the room to chew on it. Then Cameron crawled over and took it from him and started playing with it. Then Mookie took it back. They went back and forth for a long time. It was so cute!

I am in love with my little family and am so grateful to be with them forever!
