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 :)

Some things you may not know about Cami ...

i love music. i'll admit i'm not the greatest singer, but i always have music on at my house... either the radio or my ipod or itunes is playing ... this might explain abbie's dancing fetish :)

i hate how i look in hats, but i LOVE hats on other girls. it bothers me that i don't look as great as they do.

i want to live in a house with a big front porch where i can sit and listen to the crickets (or the freeway, whatever). i want that house to be blue or green or yellow or red. get my drift? i want a colored house with a big front porch.

i need a new book to read.

i absolutely love magazines. i have to talk myself out of buying them in the checkout line! but my favorite is when they come in the mail :)

i really need to vacuum my stairs.

i want to take a hip hop class (or some dance class), but i'm afraid i'll get in the class and realize i no longer have the ability to move (i'd like to think i used to have that ability)

i love flowers. i also killed both of my flower pots. but i love flowers

i'm jealous of people who have major ambitions.

2 out of the last 3 times i've changed a light bulb i've shattered the light bulb. wow.

i wish i could be more like my abbie: carefree, determined, silly and sweet.
