Alice in Wonderland Birthday Party

3 years. 3 YEARS!!

We have sure had a wonderful 3 years with Kambree. She is turning into such a wonderful little person. She is constantly making us laugh, keeping us honest, and challenging us to Disney princess quizzes that she already knows the answers to.

This weekend we celebrated her birthday with over 20 friends and family. Wow, what a weekend we had!

The party was Alice and Wonderland. I have to admit, Kyle and I sure miss her calling it "Alice Underware".

We made tea cups from ice cream cones, card men krispie treats (my personal favorite), Caterpillar Bubbles, tiny wax 'Drink Me' bottles, and 'Eat Me' cookies.

For fun we had 2 of the Queen's flamingos. The flamingos were much more fun in the water sprayers than playing croquet. The funny DoDo bird pens were also a huge hit.


I loved making the Momeraths. They turned out soooo cute! We also had flowers with eyes and the little door knob man. Kambree would've had us make every character but mom ran out of ideas for everything.

Of course the highlight of the day was the cake. I wish I could take credit for it....ok, I found the design idea. Kambree wanted Kyle to make it. When he agrees to get into the kitchen we all have to stay out of his way. He totally takes over. He baked, made homemade frosting, and decorated the whole thing. He did a fabulous job.

Thank you to all of our friends and family who came to celebrate with us. It's so nice to be close to everyone again!

As Kyle and I were thinking about our sweet girl and her big weekend, we began talking about all that she has done in her life. Here are a few of her stats in just 3 years....

Moved four times.....
Lived in four different states.......
Moved a total of 3,500 miles.......
Visited 13 States......
And played in the sand on both coasts.

What will she do in the next three years?

12 Years with the Man of My Dreams

Up and Running

Ok, ok. I know the last update has been almost a year! I have very high hopes for my blog but I'm not very dedicated. I'll give it another shot :) So, what have we been up to??



We are eagerly awaiting our baby boy to come in September.

This little guy is so squirmy! He never stops moving; day or night. We are really looking forward to meeting him. Kambree just can't wait to be a big sister. She loves him already and is practicing all kinds of things to teach him-sign language, how to crawl, how to be a good boy, you name it.

Kambree loves all the toys that we have been unpacking. It's funny that she likes them more now than she did when they were age-appropriate for her!





We also made another move this spring. Kyle took a position coaching the women's basketball team at Lewis-Clark State College. We are back in the mountains in Lewiston, ID. Our families are very happy that we are so much closer. Kyle loves his job even though working with women has been a change!

We have only been here about a month but so far we are really enjoying it. I have joined a yoga class, we are checking out pre-schools, and loving the parks and weather. She had a great time at the 4th of July festivities. She even won a 2nd place ribbon in the stick horse races.

We are also getting ready for Kambree's 3rd birthday party. She has invited almost everyone on our street, young or old. The theme she decided on is Alice in Wonderland. I have very high hopes to have pictures up of the party. For now, here is a sneak peek.
