Over a year since my last post!!! Yikes!!
It has been quite a while since my last blog posting. Where does the time go? All three kids have been growing like weeds. Camryn is now 8 1/2, McKenna will be 7 next month and Grayson is 4 1/2 (going on 16!). The kids are amazing little blessings. They sure keep us busy.....so much has changed since I last wrote that I do not even know where to start! So, in birth order....
Camryn: excelling in 3rd grade, reading at a fourth grade level, recently joined the gymnastics team at American Powerhouse Gymnastics, is quite fond of Justice clothing, loves her Heely's, is motivated to complete all her homework and reading just to watch American Idol....the list can go on and on. The bottom line is, Camryn is an amazing little girl full of kindness, love, empathy, understanding and sweetness. She is more than I could ever ask for in an 8 year old daughter. She is perfect in my eyes....love her to pieces.
McKenna: top of her class in 1st grade special day class, reading level 1 books (i.e. kindergarten level), the biggest social butterfly who ever walked the earth, attends American Powerhouse gymnastics in their recreational program, can jump on a trampoline for at least 1 hour if given the opportunity, never ever stops talking, loves playing my iTouch (spelling and puzzle games), think Caillou is 'da bomb', loves wearing dresses and tights, continues to have a lumberjack appetite....I can also go on and on about McKenna. She is a shining star, she makes us smile everyday and can be stubborn as an ox! She, too, is perfect in my eyes....she is a heaven sent angel!
Grayson: counting down the days until he turns 5 and can start kindergarten, has the energy of 5 boys and the curiosity of 1000 cats, loves shooting baskets, has earned a brown belt in Taekwondo but tells us everyday he's done with 'that' and wants to do gymnastics like his sisters, is excited to sign up for Rocklin league soccer in the fall, thinks the Wii is amazing and can drench his clothes while playing, gags on most vegetables, is the greatest sleeping champion.....where do I stop? Grayson is a hoot! He is full of insight and questions....he is quite an amazing part of our family!

McKenna Talking
McKenna spends most of her day busy as can be and constantly talking. She has to know where everyone is and why. Then she needs to know when they will be back and if they may be bringing her a gift! She is animated, dynamic, funny and just complete joy to have in our lives. Sometimes her high energy level gets a bit overwhelming ....but we feel so grateful she is so energetic and expressive! Here is a long video of McKenna talking. I think everyone will agree with me that she is one amazing little cutie! :o)
Camryn in Hip-hop-ilicious
Camryn participates in dance classes at Dance Elite here in Rocklin, CA. She just had her very first stage performance on December 5th, 2008. Camryn is on the left side of the screen in the beginning and her friend Taylor is on the right. Here is her video....We are soooo proud of her! Enjoy:

Proud Moment with McKenna
This picture was snapped with tears in my eyes.... I had asked McKenna to go practice writing her name on her drawing tablet so I could finish the dishes. I knew she could only write an 'M'. Moments later she came back shouting "Mom!! Mom!!"....I look over at her and to my surprise she actually wrote the word 'MOM'! I just couldn't believe it. The greatest thing is that she understands that letters make words. What a huge accomplishment for our little McKenna. We are soooo proud of her and continue to support her, as usual, with lots of love and positive re-inforcement! Way to go McKenna!!!
Water Play, May 2008
Grayson & McKenna can be the greatest playmates sometimes and today was one of those days. Nothing better than a hose, a bucket of water and a few plastic cups to entertain the little ones....
McKenna's 5th Birthday Party
McKenna's 5th birthday party was a blast! We celebrated in our backyard with a bounce house and a pinata. McKenna was walking on clouds on this day. She shared so many smiles and giggles with us on her big day. Here is a little video of all the fun we had....
