Happy Birthday Camzilla!!!!

Today is Camie's (Paul's sisters) birthday!

Camie does SO much for us- and has been so nice to me even before Paul and I started dating. She is always bringing the family together, making everyone delicious dinners and deserets, making sweet books, taking great pictures, telling funny stories, running marathons and having adventures, letting me borrow her clothes and making everyone happy.

Basically, we love her a lot and hope she has a very happy birthday!


Here are a few pictures that I think show who Camie is :)

An awesome daughter (with her Momma Donna in Zions)

No-fear bear denner (Bear Denning w/ Paul last year)
A Master's student finishing a thesis about ants!A brand new mom!

And totally random (us in front of our snow angels at Temple Square) haha

Love ya QAMEE! :)

Apart on Lovers Day (again)

This is how Paul and I will spend our FIRST Valentines Day together (married).

990 miles apart.

I have a lacrosse tournament in Santa Barbara California.

Paul decided to take the weekend to go up to Idaho and be with his momma (and do taxes).

Luckily, we'll both be with people we love. (My family is coming out to California to watch me play!)

Oh- and by the way... last year Paul was Washington and I was in San Diego, California. 

maybe next year? haha

Baby Mykita

What a surprise is was on Wednesday morning to hear that Camie's (Paul's sister) water broke!

(She wasn't due till March 1st)

And later that afternoon... a little 5 lb 12 ounce baby girl was born!

Paul skipped his class and we headed to Salt Lake to see BRAND NEW BABY MYKITA!

(Lucky coincidence- it was my brother Eric's birthday too! So we got to see him and eat cake on the way home)

There just isn't anything like holding a 3 hour old baby. :)

(How in the world did she even fit in Camie's tummy!?!?)

Congrats Cam and Cod!

for all you stalkers

so... I thought that the only person who read my blog was me. And maybe my sister Celeste.

Turns out that there are a whole lot of stalker friends out there.

This is a shout out to my PR girls.
PS- I added all of you to my blog list so I can stalk you back.

PS- This was a successful cooking weekend for me.
Peanut Curry on brown rice (turned out pretty dang good!)
and.. chocolate chip cookies (new recipe, courtesy of my former news writing editor)

Oh- and I am so grateful for spellchecker..because I just spelled recipe and courtesy wrong (and probably a lot of other words too).

Here is a picture to keep you entertained.(I don't know why- but I love this pic of Paul. This was with Mark on the last day of their mission. Plus-- I'm not at home, and I just emailed this to someone, so it is pretty much the only picture I have access to at this moment... and a post just isn't a post without a picture.)
