The Biggest Loser

There aren't many shows that I really get hooked on but the Biggest Loser does it to me. I don't know why I get so into this show but I love it!
This past Tuesday was the premier and I watched it late, like on Thursday night I think. It made me really think about all that I have in my life. There is a lady on there who had a very tragic story. Two years ago she was married with a 5 year old daughter and a 2 week old son. They got hit by a car that was going over 100MPH and they all died. Holy Cow! That poor lady has lost everything!
It really made me think about how blessed I am. The first thought through my mind was that I am so lucky. I don't think it is luck at all. I am just truly "Blessed"!
I have a husband who is my best friend. We have so much fun together and I love him so much. He is such a hard worker and has provided for us the whole time we have been married. We are going on 6 years now and he has put everything he has into providing for us. I am amazed at how well he has done too. I have not worked a single day in the six years since we have been married. Wow! He is so loving and the best dad I could ever ask for our kids. I am amazed by him everyday!
I have been blessed with the oppertunity to have children. What a blessing! We brought our first little boy into our family and he has kept us busy ever since. He is so smart and curious. Such a joy to have in my life!
Then we were blessed with our second son. Wow what a cute kid. I would've never thought kids could be so different, but they are. He is so mellow and such a sweet little boy.
Then came our sweet little girl. Wow what a little drama queen! She is so fun and has such a personality. She definately knows what she wants and knows exactly how to get it.
Then we have extended family who support us and love us. Also, a home to live in, friends to enjoy, exciting adventures to explore, etc...
The last thing I thought about as I watched this lady stuggle to tell her story on TV was how blessed I am to know the things that I know. To know that I am loved by my Heavenly Father. To know that I can be forgiven of the mistakes I have made. To know that I can live with my family after this life is over.
I am so blessed!

Family Pictures

While at the coast we tried our hand at taking family pictures. I was so suprised they turned out so good. It was so fun to have a great vacation and come away with something so nice to remember it by. Here are some of the pictures.
The whole Knight Family

Camy and Grandpa laughing (I love it!)

The 3 cutest kids in the whole world!

South Padre Island

My parents rented a condo on South Padre Island and the whole family was able to go there and have a great time. Carson and Camy have never been to the beach and the last time Parker was at a beach it was in Hawaii and he was 18 months. They were all really big fans of the sand and the pool at the condo. They weren't real interested in the water and waves at the beach but that was fine with me. It made it so much easier to keep an eye on them. We really had a blast!
The main issue I had was that the kids didn't sleep. Saturday afternoon I was finally able to lay down for a couple of hours but I was running on maybe 7 hours of sleep in 48 hours time. I was exhausted but we had a lot of fun!

Camy...again!

I know that most of the things I put on here are about Camy but she is changing so fast. She loves to show off just like her brothers...and dad...and mom. Here are a few pictures to show off.
Camy has only taken one step so far but she stands up all the time! Now she is really into clapping and she thinks that she should clap everytime she stands. She's always looking to make sure we see her when she does it, too.


I know I've said that she is into everything before, but now she can open cupboards! OH NO! I was making dinner tonight and she was quiet so I let her be. I thought she was playing with the tupperware. I turn around to see this little stinker in the island. She was having so much fun!


I took this picture of Camy the other day and I thought it was pretty. My pretty baby! (I wonder where she gets the whole bragging thing from?!)

Last, but definitely not least...Camy's room is DONE!!! Well, I still need to touch up the lines some (they really drive me nuts) but we have put stuff up on the walls and it's "considered" done. Keeper walked in there the other day and looked at me and said that her room has my personality written all over it. He said it was the coolest room in the house. Now that is saying something! Cooler that the BYU office?! I'm glad he likes it so much. I love it! It was definitely worth all the work, although it was a huge pain!!! We know how to do a chair rail now though.
It started out as a light blue halfway up the wall, white on the bottom. There were a couple white stripes on the top by the ceiling. (I know I have "before" pictures somewhere, I just don't know where.)
Here are the "after" pictures although the room isn't spotless. Oh well!

Summertime...

It has been a while since I have posted some pictures but there hasn't been anything out of the ordinary that has happened so I decided to post a few pictures of common happenings at our house. Sit back, relax, and welcome to the chaos!
If the boys aren't running full speed through the house they are upside down in some way. I'm suprised the walls aren't dirtier than they are. My little boys love to show off.

We have spent a ton of time at Sea World. The boys LOVE the shows! Right now in this heat I am a fan of the water park but we have fun no matter what we do there.



We have eaten anything to keep cool. Snow cones, popsicles, etc... Here are a few pictures of the sweet, sweet taste of Summer!






Welcome to our Pizzaria! The boys love waiting on me and calling me Maam. Too bad it's not an everyday occurance.

Camy

It seems like most of my posts are about Camy but she is the one who is changing all the time. Wow! She is getting so big! She is going up the stairs now but hasn't figured out how to get back down. She stays at the top and cries (smart little girl.) She also has her first tooth. 8 1/2 months and finally a tooth. Parker got his first at 4 months and Carson at 6 months. I was expecting her to get them pretty early too but I guess not. It has been so fun having a toothless grin for so long though.
I think my favorite thing about Camy is that she is a girl and I get to enjoy all the girl stuff this time around. Here are some pictures of her on Sunday. I thought she looked really cute!

Dora Live!

My parents took the 4 oldest grandkids to see Dora Live! The kids loved it! I have a friend who was in primary yesterday and they were talking about keeping the Sabbath day holy and not going and doing stuff on Sunday, like going and seeing movies. She said that Parker raised his had and said, "I went and saw the Dora stage show!" I was so proud he had to share it.
The kids were so excited that they got to go without us. They thought they were pretty special.
