Hannah's Animal Noises

I know I look like total crap in this video, but what can I say? I have been home locked in my house for a week with a sinus infection and sick kids, hence why Hannah's voice sounds terrible - she's been one of the sick kids. But this was so cute that Cam told me that I was being dumb if I didn't post it just because how terrible I look. Also, I had Paige doing the video again, so sorry if it's a little shaky. I want to mention that Hannah is 16 months old and to explain the horse sound - well, since we have horses my kids have never said the typical sound for a horse - they just say what they hear which is fine with me :)

Here's some comic relief for those who enjoy slapstick . .

Paige Celebrates School Spirit Week

Here's just a couple of the days that she joined in on.

This was pick a decade day. I, of course, chose the 80's. She thought I was pretty cool after learning that I lived through it. Then she couldn't figure out why in the world I would peg my pants. For the life of me, I can't either.

Notice the double layered scrunched up socks, knot tied shirt and pony tail off to the side. WHY IN THE WORLD IS THIS COMING BACK?

This was crazy hair day. I just stuck it up in a ton of rubber bands. She thought it was great.

Happy Birthday Cameron!

I know I'm a little late with this, but I want to wish Cam a happy birthday and let him know how much I love him. He hit the big 35 this year. Let's see if I can name 35 great things about him:

34. He's willing to compromise (and listen to me!).
35. He's really good with horses and can calm down about every horse I have ever seen him with - even with all the colts he breaks for other people.

Man - that was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I could easily list a ton more. For his birthday weekend we went to Idaho to see the blessing of his brother's baby. That kid is cute!! It was a lot of fun and he even bought himself a big screen TV. He has been working almost non-stop for a month and took some overtime and treated himself. (He sooo deserves it!)

This is him installing it. He's pretty excited!

It was great to spend so much time with his brother and his wife (thanks again Amy and Aaron for letting us come!) - they are a lot of fun. The kids all loved it too.

Here's Hannah trying not to touch the baby, but really wanting to.

This is Oliver - he's hilarious.

We all went in and got him an ice cream cake from DQ and some hilarious presents. His mom did an entire album composed of all his mission stuff. It must have taken hours and hours - pictures and letters he wrote home and from his mission president. I know he was really excited about that.

I have to share a funny story that is so typical Horsley - his parents sent him a jar of horse poop while he was on his mission to remind him of the ranch. I guess his companion wasn't so appreciative!

Well, happy birthday again cute boy - I love ya!
