So it's been a while....

Okay, okay... it's been a while since our last post. I do have to admit, I knew this would happen. In all honesty I wanted to keep this posted, but I feel like I never have the time... which is quite pathetic when I sit in front of a computer all day long!!! Lucky for Richard, he knows I'm working.

So much has happened in the last month (okay, almost two). Richard and I are back in the full swing of things at work. We have been rather busy and in our economy, I'm very glad for our full schedule. I may moan quite a bit that all I seem to do is work, but in the large scheme of things, I am very grateful to be working. We have just moved our offices because we have grown out of the old one. It was quite exciting moving. We got to move out the old tennants and move us in. Moving them out meant breaking down whatever they left behind... including desks. After Amy and I had some very theraputic sessions with a hammer, Randy decided to help us out with a saw... below is the video at how much fun a saw in the office is. I must admint, It is very exciting to watch our company grow, especially when we started in the basement with three of us.

Aerial is out of school for the summer and has been so busy. She has been to Youth Conference and Yearbook Camp. She got accepted to work on American Fork High School's Yearbook staff. She is so excited about it and has so many little secrets she cant share about the book. It will be really exciting to see how it turns out at the end of the school year. We are planing a vacation as a family which we are all really excited about. Richard is talking about Victoria British Columbia and Aerial and I are crossing our fingers. Sounds like fun to us! If we drive it, I am hoping Forks, WA is not too far out of the way as I would love to take Aerial there (for those of you who are not Twilight fans... SHAME ON YOU, I mean, this is an intregal place of where the Twilight series takes place. With Aerial being such a big fan, okay.... I am too, It would be really cool to see).

Camden is one busy little guy. He is still with Amie and Aerial during the day. Can I just say how much I love this. He is with family all day long. It really helps set my mind at ease knowing he is with people who love him and whom he love so much! Camden and Annalyse are like two peas in a pod. I've been told that people ask Amie if they are twins. While they are not twins, they sure are cute siblings. I really am greatful for all that the Stakers do for us. Camden is a monkey. Just in case you did not catch that, he is a MONKEY! That boy loves to climb all over the place. He climbs up Richard, he climbs up ladders and jungle gyms and couches and he even climbs into his crib at night. I think now is the time to get a playset in the back yard. He has so much energy that at the end of the day I am exhausted! Sometimes he is not too coordinated with his climbing and he falls. He has had several goose eggs in his day, but this one takes the cake! To outlet some of his energy, I have enrolled him in The Little Gym. I really love these classes. The help alot when it comes to listening to instructions and interating with other kids. Camden is not so good at taking turns. He has come so far after only four classes. He has learned how to do summersaults and walk on balance beams by himself. I absolutely adore watching him in class. He is growing so fast and has turned into a little boy. I'm not sure where my baby has gone, but it happened overnight.

We took Cam to Pleasant Grove Strawberry Days carnival. I was not sure how he was going to react on rides. Amy and I took him on a Ferris Wheel. He just sat and rode the ride. No whining. Then Richard and I put him on a Flying Saucer ride and HE LOVED IT! When it was over and we took him off, he started to cry. Good thing I had another ticket to put him back on it! Good thing Steel Days is coming up in American Fork. Another chance for a good carnival ride, and a good funnel cake!!!

Richard went to Las Vegas with Courtney and the boys for his bachelor party. I think he had a really good time. I stayed here with Hailie and we had a great time at the Huka bar. It was great to see some girls I had not seen in a while. Jamie, Kelly and Nikki were hanging out when me, Hailie and Brandi got there. Brenda was going to come by for dinner, but we were having so much fun she decided to stay longer. I cant post all the pictures as some are pretty scandalous. But hey, that's how it's supposed to be for a bachlorette party, right?

My sister Sarah and her husband Phil came to visit us. They were in San Francisco on Holiday from England and they popped in for a surprise visit. I was on the phone in my office when they came in. I felt really bad for whomever I was on the phone with because not only did I scream when I saw her, but I screamed LOUD. They stayed for a few days before they went onto Hawaii. I was quite jealous, but very exicted for the two of them. We have just found out that thier new addition is going to be a BOY! I am so thrilled for them! Now we start thinking of boy names.... Any suggestions?

For the 4th of July we got together with some friends at Zac's and Liz's house and had a bbq . It was so much fun! Pierre and Kristy brough Belle. It was really great for Camden to see his friend after so long. I wish there was more time in the day so we could actually see our friends and family as often as we would like. I must admit, the best part of the evening was the fireworks and the stuff we found to blow up with them. The best was a hotdog. Seeing Liz and her friend Jenny splattered with a hotdog was hillarious!

On Saturday, we went with my family to see Wall-E. It was fun seeing a movie all together, with the exception that Camden decided to get sick and I must have changed 6 diapers in an 1 1/2 hour show. One of them was so bad, that I think I had more of it on my shirt than he had in his diaper. My mum said I did not smell very good. I was really impressed with how well my dad was doing after his first knee surgery. I am so proud of how well he is doing. Not too long until the next one. Hopefully then, this will relieve some of the pain he has been having.

So did this make up for two months, probably not, but it will have to do for now.

Ciao and we will see you next posting....
