Sea World

My kids love Sea World. We visit there often. Here are some pics of the kids in the Splash Park. I have gone there with all 3 kids by myself and we will go see shows also but I haven't tackled the waterpark yet by myself. This is a goal I have for the next week or so. Wish me luck!

Carson and Camy playing!

Parker trying his hardest to get sick. Nasty! That water is so dirty I'm sure!

Carson copying his brother. A given anywhere we go.

My cute Carson having a ball!

Camy

Camy is getting so big, so fast. She is already 7 months. Wow! She is the prettiest little girl (if I do say so myself) but she is so spoiled. She will smile at whoever and play with them as long as I am holding her. It makes life a little rough but I wouldn't trade her for the world. Here are some new pics of our little sweetheart.

I was trying to take some fun pictures of Camy and I thought this one turned out really pretty even though you can't see her whole face.

Here's another one I was just playing with.

This is the picture we gave Keeper for Father's Day of Camy. I thought it fit well, 2 of Keeper's favorites.

Camy was helping with dinner here. She must take after her dad because she loves potatoes. Playing with them at least.

Yes, Camy is crawling and has been moving around for a couple weeks now. She gets frustrated because she can't do everything we can and she's not as fast as the boys but she has been a little more content lately.

Poor Carson

On Saturday evening Carson came down with a fever. It got to be really high so we were borderlined taking him to the ER. The meds worked so we didn't but Sunday was just as scary. Keeper had to teach Sunday School and I had to teach Young Womens. Keeper took Parker and I stayed home with Carson and Camy. I decided that I would drive up at the end of Sunday School and we would trade and Keeper could take the little ones home. After Keeper left I got in the shower and Carson was watching Diego (not the usual but when you are sick you get whatever you want.) I came out and Carson was alseep in a weird position so I moved him and he woke up but was acting really weird. His movements were all jerky and he wasn't really responding but he was looking at me. His eyes were kinda glassy looking too. I got so scared! I called the doctor and she said it's better to be safe than sorry. My mom said that too. With the opinion of those two I knew I needed to do something. So, with the other teacher taking the Beehives for me, we were off to the Urgent Care Clinic. Of course when we get there he is actually acting normal and starting to ask for food. We had him be seen anyway and he has 2 ear infections again. The nurse practitioner was also very impressed with the size of his tonsils. Now he is on antibiotics again. He is going to see the pediatric ENT in July (the soonest they could get him in.) Maybe this time the doctor will think that he needs his tonsils out. He said the if Carson got another ear infection in the next 2 months to schedule another appointment. It's been less than a month and he has 2. Poor baby! Hopefully we can get all this taken care of.

First Zoo Trip

We went to the zoo for the first time this summer and the kids loved it! They have a new black jaguar that Parker thought was awesome! Carson loved the water the best! Camy was just along for the ride. I liked the picnic lunch we had while we watched the little monkeys mess around. It kept everyone entertained. It was the first time I had tackled the zoo by myself with all the kids. ( I know, I know...I sound like a wimp but I was a little worried.) All in all it turned out pretty good. We had our moments but it was still fun. Definitely something we could do again.

.31 ice cream

We have been trying to do better at keeping a budget so I have really gotten into finding good deals or free food. I heard about 31 cent ice cream night a Baskin Robbins and of course we were there. Keeper had to work so my parents came to help wrestle the crew. It was so fun! The kids had a blast and Camy tasted ice cream for the first time. She thought it was awesome! Here are the pics from it.

Nice beard, Cakes!

Yum!

Look at that face!

The whole crew except for me and Camy

The boys had a blast playing with grandma after they were done. They thought it was awesome!

Father-Son Campout

This past weekend Keeper took the boys...yes both of them...to the Father-Son Campout. Keeper came home saying they had a good time but it was harder than he thought it would be. Is it bad to say that did my heart good? If he came home and was like oh that's super easy and I don't know why you say it's hard with all 3, etc...now that would be a big blow. But to have him come home and say it was hard made me feel like I have a reason to be tired everyday.
Anyway, they swam and ate and just had a good time and that's about all Keeper told me. Then at the end he mentions that there was one mishap but it wasn't a big deal. Parker fell in the deep water with all his clothes on. He was fished out immediately and was just fine. At this point I was thinking ok...don't flip out. Keeper was right there. It could've happened to anyone. At least he's okay. Then along comes Parker. He cleared up the story a little. He was shining his flashlight in the water and fell in. Then "some guy" got him out of the water. Ok, so who was this "some guy" Parker was talking about? Keeper told me after that that Bro. Rawlins from our ward was the hero. Thank goodness he was there. Keeper was torn between staying at the campsite with Carson and going to the river with Parker as he took off after the big kids that were heading down there. Keeper was on his way after Parker and looking back at Carson. He turned to look at Parker and saw the whole thing but was still a little ways away. Lets just say I am so grateful that there was an adult right there to grab my little boy. Parker is such a sweetheart but does love to be in on all the action. It's amazing how kids can just get away from you...especially wild little boys like Park.
All in all the campout went good and they all had fun. We are going to go as a family soon so me and Camy can be in on the fun. Hopefully next time there aren't any mishaps.


The kids all watching Jordan Tourtillott play his NintendoDS. Now that's roughing it!

photo shoot...

I've been wanting to take a picture of Camy in a tutu with no shirt. Don't ask me why, I just did. I finally got around to it and they turned out really cute (in my opinion anyway.) The boys wanted in on the fun and really liked making faces at the camera. We had a lot of fun and got some cute pics.


my handsome boys!

Check out how huge Carson's tonsils are. Poor kid!
