Just another update

April started off with Easter. This year we spent down at Kyle's parents house. We had lots of food, egg hunts and fun. Saturday morning we went to Capital Reef to have an Easter egg hunt for all the kid. It wasn't the warmest and they took forever to get started as you can see in the picture by Hayden's face. But once it got started he was loving the picking up game, of course with the help from his dad. Sure glad the Easter bunny found us all the way down south.

The very next weekend was spring break for the kids in school. Every year on this weekend my (Camille's) dad's side of family heads to the sand dunes. It is one of my favorite things we do each year. I think my uncle said my family has been going out there for over 30 something years. Same camp site, all though it only started with 3 trailers, now there is 7. We always have the Williams family softball game, but I have to say there isn't to many Williams left. There is mostly girls amongst us cousins and we all have new last names. This trips brings out the best in all of us. We have the biggest camp fires, we laugh our guts out and eat wayyyyy to much. My dad thinks all we go camping for is to eat and take naps. I love my family, I wish everyone could be as close as we are. Here is quit a few pictures of that trip.

(Lf to Rt) Brother Paul's, Cousin Mark's, & my Parents, we go in comfort.

Our camp site. You couldn't find one better. We are away from the road and it
drops down just enough we don't get the dessert wind.

He LOVES playing in the dirt.

Pink Barbie bucket and Pink shovel. He is tough
enough to wear and play with PINK things.

Watch out we are all loaded. These last few years someone brings an old empty
propane tank to shoot. We had it at all different distances 420 to 550 to 1000 yards. Oh it's fun.

One afternoon we went to Porter Rockwell's place. This was one big/old tree.

The annual softball game. I didn't want the sand to get in my eyes

The ball field

Watching the horse shoe game. This was one of the few times it rained.
We were pretty darn lucky. Back at home it was pouring all weekend.
Good thing the Williams up above was watching out for us.
We sure miss Uncle Carl, G&G Williams and Uncle Gordon.

The same weekend Kyle was hunting his turkey. This year he was using his bow. He ended up resorting back to the shot gun on the last weekend. Good job Kyle. 

Dad and Hayden

Dad is starting him off early.

And last, after seeing how much Hayden loves the dirt we bought him a sand box. Thank to our good friend for the sand, he can now make sand pies. We sure do love that kid.

 Thank you for visiting. Hope everyone is doing good. If anyone has a blog I would love to follow it. Would you email me it or invite me please. kyleandcamille@gmail.com



Update

April, Really? Where did the first 3 months go. The month of February was not one of the funnest months. Hayden had his first cold for two weeks and then he had double ear infections for another week and a half. He really tested his parents patients. I do not wish that on my worst enemy. Now if we can just keep him from getting anymore.

Between him being sick and the ear infection we went swimming with my (Camille's) family. Every Monday it's family night at the Provo rec center so we take advantage of it. He loved every minute of it. He splashed and splashed. He didn't care if it got in his eye, he would just laugh and do it again. No one wanted to be by us. Here is a few pictures from that night.

He didn't care to much for the duck.

For a week in February I had a conference in Moab. And Kyle had to play Mrs mom. I had everything all lined out for him. Who had him what days. I even had a grocery list for him. I must say they both survived. But while I was at conference I faced one of my fears. With a little convincing I held a large snake. I have the pictures to prove it. I thought they were all slimy, found out there not. I was OK until they put it around my neck and it started to move and that was the end of it. But glad I did it.

One weekend Kyle and I found ourselves with a 3 day weekend and nothing planned. For those who know us, that doesn't happen very often. We always have plans. So we decided to run to his parents house so he could do some shed hunting. He decided to go just for a walk by his dad's house and came home with the BIGGEST smile on his face and all these in his hands.

If you have a blog would you email (kyleandcamille@gmail.com) me an invite? It is easier to keep up with everyone in our busy lives.



Christmas/New Years

Wow I am sorry it has taken me so long to update this. It is amazing how busy life can be. I will try not to boar you to death while catching up.

Christmas this year was so much fun, even though Hayden could've cared less. He didn't even mind dear old Santa. He sat on his lap 3 different times and not one tear shed. Santa was his best friend after receiving the candy cane Christmas Eve night at Grandma Lottie's house. He was his favorite santa. :)

The only way they would sit on his lap was with a candy cane.

Christmas morning Kyle had us up at 6 am. I said go back to sleep Hayden isn't even awake. Just then we hear him waking up and Kyle said oh yes he is hehe. So off to the front room we went. He didn't care to much for all the presents, I thought he would at least like the wrapping paper. I have to admit santa had to hold back a little this year and not spoil him. One of his gifts was a push car stroller (whatever you want to call it). Dad had to put it together before we did anything else. And man did santa do good on the present. That kid loves it.



Hayden had to eat first thing.




The yellow putton he is pushing is the start and the horn and he knows right where it is.





Our walk around the block in his new car.

Christmas was great like always. Lots of family time.

For the new year we went to Kyle's parents house with all his family. His brother called and said the geese

are in. You need to go get some burlap to cover us up while in the feild. So off to Cal Ranch to get some. He came out empty handed. He said it was way to espenseive (with a sad look on his face) now what will we use?

I said you can try JoAnn's fabric? Maybe they will have some camo material on sale. So off we went. I for sure thought it was going to be me go in. Nope Hayden was asleep and I told him he would know what he wanted so he had to go in. After being in there for about 20 minutes I was getting concerned that all the ladies trapped him in there with being one of the very few guys that had ever been in. Finally he came out and said that he had been givin the most help he had ever received. I said I'm sure they seen you and thought, this guy is going to need some help. Well when checking out the cashier asked him what he was using all this burlap for? He tried to explain but she just kept looking at him funny and said ok good luck. I just laughed. Well as you can see in the pictures it worked. It made us camoflauge to the field. As you can tell by the huge smile on Kyles face he got another band to add to his collection. That was one of my favorite hunts. I was dry, I didn't have to walk a mile in the marsh, I was somewhat warm and the truck came right to us to pick it all up.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.

                         

Thanksgiving

This year was spent with the Bone family in Bicknell at Kyle's parents house. There was lots of food, family, hunting, shopping, and fun. Thursday Kyle went duck/goose hunting while I worked my holiday. Then we ate and ate and ate oh and ate some more. Friday all the girls went to the big town of Richfield to do some Christmas shopping while all the men had all the kids. Of course we took our time getting back. Saturday Kyle and his brother Cody headed out in the blasted cold to hunt ducks and geese again. (there not all there ;) the rest of us waited for it to warm up to go cut our Christmas trees. We decided to split up this year so it didn't take all day. We went with Jeremy and his family and found there tree right away, and ours shortly after. Kyle and I (mostly myself) are so excited for Christmas this year. I know Hayden isn't going to know the difference but I will. Hayden loved walking around looking for our tree while watching Sadie (our dog) running around and jumping in the snow. As you can see we are a very family oriented family. I've said it before, I couldn't imagine not being close to my family and I wish the everyone could be as close as we are in there own families.

I was finally able to get all my decoration up with the help of Kyle. We only had one fallen tree, a section of lights out in the middle of the house and fallen garland. And we managed to still like each other.

Hayden loves watching the blinking lights on the tree and looking out the front window and the yard decorations. I can't wait for Christmas eve with my family, after opening presents from each other we all ride together through the festival of lights.

Well enough of my blabbing, hope you enjoy the pictures.

O Christmas tree O Christmas tree

This is what happens when you get your brother a BIG tree, Sadie had
 to ride up front all the way back home. What a ride 4 of us in the
front of the truck. Memories can't beat'em

All decorated

As you can see we had to hang the stockings by deer horns with the
shot gun bullets lights over head.

Hey if he is going to be in my living room he will be decorated. I
couldn't get the red nose to stay. Kyle said that is where he draws the line

This was my grandma's, I am so lucky to have it to place it in the
center of  the room for memories.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Kyle, Hayden and I are so thankful for all your friendships.
