Family Pictures 2013

We love Fall in Utah

Here's a picture recap of Fall 2013


We were able to make a trip out to Denver to go see our Bronco's 2013 home opener. To say we were excited would be a HUGE understatement!

When we got back from the trip Cambree had to unpack us right away. Obviously :)

I discovered a new addiction. Dirty diet cokes (Diet coke with coconut syrup) and Swig sugar cookies. Seriously, addicting. 

Our little mischievous girl!

Cambree loved cheering on BYU at every football game. We are already prepping her now to marry an NFL player once she's older. Preferably a Denver Bronco. Too bad Eric Decker is already taken..

We also spent a lot of time watching Ryan's football games. At one point he was playing in a tackle league and a flag football league, so we watched a lot of games!

And... we bought a new car! It is perfect for our little family!

Tates & Bevans take California!

We have made a lot of great friends since moving to Provo last year. The Tates are definitely in that category. They are also our neighbours and it has been so fun having them close this year. Cambree basically thinks of them as second parents and sometimes starts running towards their apartment like she's inviting herself over to their house to play! They were nice enough to take us home to California with them for Thanksgiving in November and we had a blast. Their family might have thought we were a little nuts for swimming in the ocean but we couldn't resist! Plus after having swam in glacier lakes before the ocean in November was nothing! I am working on convincing Ryan that we need to end up in Camarillo, California because it is seriously heaven there!

Julie was a rockstar and made this video of our trip! Which turned out great because I barely took any pictures! We are grateful to have such great friends and grateful to my mom who made a special trip down to watch Cambree so we could go have some fun!

Cambree turned 1!!

It's crazy to think that our sweet, curious and loving baby girl is 1! This past year has seriously flown by! We were lucky enough to have some friends let us use this cute building to host Cambree's birthday party, because every 1 year old needs a big party with 20 of her Mom's closest friends... Right?? ;) Right! In all seriousness we have made some amazing friends since moving to Provo and since most of our family is back in Canada our friends have become our family. We call lots of them Cambree's Aunts and Uncles, and it really wouldn't have felt right if we didn't have all of our closest friends there to celebrate Cambree's special day!

The food table set up

When people came in we had each of them pick a piece of paper that had a letter of the alphabet on it. They then had to draw something that started with that letter then sign their name. We put them all together to make an ABC book for Cambree!

Everyone visiting at the start of the party! It started late because I accidentally gave everyone the wrong address! Whoops!

Playing musical chairs

Aunt Jess helped Cambree open her presents!

We love you Cambree bug!

Trip to Ontario

In October Cambree and I did a little trip out east to Ontario to visit my Mom's side of the family. They hadn't met Cambree yet and so we were able to head out there and spend Thanksgiving with them.

Cambree was able to meet her Great Grandma for the first time! It was so special seeing them play together!

As a surprise the whole family had a chocolate cake for Cambree to celebrate her 1st birthday a month early! It was so thoughtful of them and Cambree was in heaven!

Seriously, how great does my Grandma look!

4 Generations!

We loved our time in Ontario and can't wait to go back next year!
