New CHICKS!!

We added to our family yesterday! 4 new members who will in 6 months lay us some eggs. You guessed it...we bought some baby chicks. They are pretty cute and we have started holding them to get them to know us a little more. Max says he could hold them all day. Hopefully he will be just as excited about them when they are older. Easter will be here in a few weeks and Max is looking forward to of course finding eggs in the clever places that the Easter bunny leaves them. And most importantly we love to have a special day set aside to celebrate the the Savior, Jesus Christ and His resurrection. He is amazing!
Also my brother and sister in law are expecting their second child! So excited for them and for our family to welcome in a new member in 7 months. We love all of those little ones that come into our family. So far we have 12 nieces and 8 nepehws on Camille's side and 2 nephews on Brandon's side. Big party when we all get together. Families are very important and we love every one of them.
We are continuing to hope that we will grow our little family through adoption.

Jazz Game!

Brandon and I got to go to the Jazz game last weekend with some friends of ours. Max went and stayed at his grandparents house, he had a great time! They have Mario Brothers on their wii. He is pretty good at it and enjoyed showing us how well he plays. The game was fun and especially so with the friends we went with. We had a ticket for their daughter who is in the Young Women in our ward. Camille is the Beehive leader and gets to spend time with the great girls there. The Jazz Bear was great to watch, he's pretty goofy. He stuck a light on top of a bald man's head and then put a basketball hoop on his head and tried to make some baskets. Of course the man was a good sport. We went out to eat before the game at a Mexican restaurant and we ate the chimichungas (we found out from our friends that chunga in Spanish means female monkey behind, gross). Anyway the evening was great. And we are going over to their house tomorrow night and having dinner and game night. We always have a great time with them. Good friends make life even more great.

Max and his friend Sadie

Max and Sadie have some great times together. Sadie loves to catch snowballs in her mouth and will jump up really high to catch them. Max has shown her how to dig and when they are playing he will say "dig, Sadie dig" and she will. She is also very protective of him and wants to be with him. She is still a puppy and very hiper but she is learning to calm down some. We are looking forward to summer time for bike riding, camping, gardening, etc. Summertime is very much needed :)

Max's Birthday

Happy Birthday to Max!!! He turned 6 today! Yesterday he had a Transformer party with his friends. They played all kinds of games. It sounded like a stampede of elephants with all that energy running around. The party was sure fun. He also picked out some balloons that are all kinds of colors, some have polka dots, one with tiger stripes, some that say happy birthday, and one that is multicolored. We did not know they came with so many designs. His cake was a transformer cake, of course. Later we went bowling with some family members and had pizza. Max likes to go bowling and this is the activity he chose for us to do. Then met back at our house for cake and ice cream. He got lots of fun presents but the ones he seems to like the most are the art portfolios his grandparents gave him. This morning he wanted a "special breakfast". When mom asked him what he wanted he said "It will be a surprise and that will make it special" what a great boy. We went to church and the Primary gave him a little gift with his picture and a picture of the Savior. They also sang happy birthday to him. He opened more presents today and wanted to have some brownies. He likes those too. It is amazing how time flies....it seems like we were at the hospital with him a short time ago. He surely is our greatest blessing and we are grateful to all those who made it possible for us to be his parents. We love him more than words can fully express and we thank our Heavenly Father for him every day.

Updated Blog

Sooo it has taken all day...sad to say...but our blog has been updated! Yay! The header still needs some work but I (Camille) think that the rest looks cute. Will change the header when the right one has been found or if I can make one myself then that is what I'll do. Let us know what you think.

Movie night

We went to see The Princess and The Frog this afternoon with some friends. It was a good movie! We wanted to see Alvin and The Chipmunks but it was sold out. We will go see that one some other time. Max enjoyed the princess one even though it was a girl movie..... And Camille of course loves them :)
