music moments

Do you ever hear a song on the radio and immediately you're thrown back to a specific time in your life? Like today I was out running a few errands and I heard Avril Lavigne, "Complicated" and it took me back to a few days after graduating high school feeling all depressed from a lame breakup - haha!
When i got home from running errands Abbie was helping me make my bed (yay for flannel sheets) and we had the radio on ... when my Abbie hears music she has to bust a move so we had a dance party on my bed :) anyway, the song "Over My Head (Cable Car)" came on and I just watched her jump and shake and I was in heaven ... I LOVE MUSIC. and I love that when I hear this song again i'll be taken back to this small moment with my little dancing abbie

we had a great conference weekend! hope yours was fabulous too

We had a wonderful weekend up at the Caldwell's cabin in Scofield ... the fall leaves are GoRgEoUs! although, i'll admit - i took zero pictures of the leaves! Abbie had so much fun hanging out with "gamma and gampa" (she's stopped saying "mawgee" which i'm sort of sad about, but the way she says "gamma" is cute too)

5.2 miles

a couple weeks ago i (Cami) ran a race with 2 of my brothers and we had a lot more fun than i'd anticipated. we ran the Utah marathon relay - so we each (along with my brother's sister-in-law and brother-in-law) ran 5.2 miles and passed a baton off to eachother. i had never run more than about 3 miles before, so I was sure that they'd find me collapsed off the trail somewhere around the 4th mile marker, but I actually ran the whole time (which was impressive by my standards) anyway, i have zero pictures of the event, but i have a medal to prove that i did it :)

we're going to Clark's parent's cabin this weekend so i'm sure i'll have some photos and things to post when we get home ...

Sunday night after Abbie's bath she was jumping on our bed and ended up in a fight with our headboard and you can guess who won...i took this picture with my phone so it's not real great, but this was like 10 minutes after the fightthis is the next morning - looks a lot better. she's still got a pretty good black eye and every time we go out in public I feel like people are looking at me like "dude, do you beat your child?"

bubble bath

Abbie loves playing with bowls of bubbles (awesome i know) and the other day I found her dunking her baby in the bowl and saying "baby swimming" ... this child makes me smile!

We took a fun trip to the zoo a few weeks ago to see the new baby giraffe. The little guy is adorable! Abbie loves all the animals at the zoo - not sure if she loves them as much as she loves all of the open running space :)
