Class of 2011! Woot Woot!

Brady Herd, you did it!  Brady walked at his engineering graduation ceremony on May 5th.  More graduation pics to follow, but I'm so proud, I had to post these ones I stole from Emily and Kevin's blog.  

 Celebrating with Lacy and Tyler, Kevin, Em and Karlee

The guys that got each other through all the stress, late nights, finals, and rants of Dr. Joe.  

Yesterday, Shay and I went to City Creek Center in downtown SLC and then to Gateway. Kamden came with us and loved being outside.  I gave him a granola bar when we got there and within 10 minutes he was covered in gooey chocolate so we had to buy him a new outfit.  Next time:  No chocolate and I'm bringing a spare outfit :)

You gotta try the apple pie apple at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory if you haven't already!

Last weekend, I went to St. George with Kat, Nat, and Nicole for a last blast party before Naty starts her new adventure in Burlington, Vermont.  We lived it up west side style, and I laughed so much my abs were sore :)  Kat shattered Nat's drink, which cut my toe, then Nat ruined a table, then Nicole spilled on Nat which was Kat's fault for not having leather and I dropped the suckers and the next thing I know, my donkey fell into your waffle hole.(name that movie).  I'm so glad we have stayed so close and am sure we always will (even though I don't have Facebook-sorry girls, I won't cave).

 Mabel Mae and Kamden Brady on a date.  They both love Oreos...it is "density."  

 These are Sweet Tooth Fairy cupcakes: nutella, raspberry lemonade, peanut butter chocolate, red velvet, german chocolate, and cookies and creme...soo good!

Kamden is 1!

Happy First Birthday Kamden!

Kamden had a blast at his bday party and dug into his cake with both hands.  We love him so much and are so lucky to get to have such an amazing little dude to share life with.

 I love using my Cricut :) I got a little carried away with it for his bday decorations.

 Kam, Becca, Sammy, and Brin eating some pizza pizza!

 Meet Baby Jaxton, Kam's little buddy.  The matching outfits weren't planned, by the way :)

Thanks everyone for coming and for my super cool presents!  Love, Kamcakes

Well, it is 7 AM, and I just got back from a run.  Usually Kam and I sleep in a little, but the only time I can run is before Brady leaves, so that is my new plan. Life is great, Brady is enjoying his new job with Epic Engineering and learning a ton, I am loving being mom full-time, although it is definitely harder than working full-time.  I miss my job at Conservice and all my homies there but I actually like being home more than I thought I would.  I miss some things about Logan, like the Griffins and Downs, Old Grist Mill sugar cookies, and being 5 miles away from everywhere I need to go...It seems like running errands in SLC is a whole day adventure.    

We would like to start looking for houses in a month or two, probably in Heber or American Fork, but I'm not even sure we will qualify, so we will see...I feel a little inadequate trying to find a house, but if I could survive college, I can figure this out too.  In the meantime, thanks Grandpa Mike and GMel for letting us live in your dungeon!  Well, it is time to go see if the dude is awake.  Peace Out!

Here are some of my pals! We had a Valentine's Day sleepover and made Ipod Valentines. We also had a pizza picnic and watched Shrek. Tons of fun!

Kam is just like his dad, working on the toys with his tools...although Brady doesn't eat his.

First Spaghetti!

Rockin' my new tie!

Some random pics of us lately...

Celebrating Daddy finishing his civil engineering degree. We are so proud of you Brady!! And we love having you around to play each night, instead of slaving away on campus.

Kam got to be baby Jesus this year at the Herd party.

We love our Coulam and Munky buddies!

Two of my favorite things...Kamden and Krispy Kreme...we went there twice while in Vegas for New Years. I decided I want a Krispy Kreme factory in my mansion in Heaven.

Gpa Mike and GMel with the dude in our hotel for New Years. We fit 7 people in one room...cozy.

Jacob and Shay and Kamden

Racing through the dungeons of Excalibur

A year ago, I would have been stressed out by a mess like this...now I just grab the camera. It really does take a village to raise a child. Cheerios are the new style-everyone is doing it.

I'll trade you two sheep for one wheat...deal?

Kamcakes and Daddy on the CR. Brrrrr, we can't wait for summer.

Kamden and I went on a date together to Mimi's Cafe to see Kat, Nat, and Nicole, and of course, Mae. Kam gave her kisses while we were there. Sorry about the wet spot on her head, Kat.
