Some catching up to do!

Since there have been alot of things going on lately this is going to be a long blog! On Thursday night Erik had his first game of the season. It was against Parker. The JV lost 37-32, but its only the first game. You can tell everyone has the first game gitters! The Girls won, a very intense game as well. I dont remember the score, I was too busy letting Cameryn run around! The Varsity game started off not so great. We were down over 20 points at half time. The second half the boys finally showed up for the game and came back to win 48-43! My heart was racing the last 6 minutes! WOW! It was pretty intense! Cameryn got pretty tired at the end of the game, but considering she goes to bed pretty consistantly at 9:00, her routine was out of wack!! Friday night they had a game in Gayville, Cam and I didnt go to the game. I had to work that day and Michelle and I went to Walmart and Target after work to pick up Cameryns birthday Cake and her birthday present!

~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~

Can you believe that my baby girl is already 1! This last year went so fast!!! After 2 trips the ER, and several trips to the clinic (almost every month between illness and check-ups), she is already 1! We had her birthday party and Grandma and Grandpa Sommervolds. The people that shared in celebrating her first birthday were, Erik and I, Grandma and Grandpa Sommervold, Grandma and Grandpa Van't Hof, Clara, Scott, Lindsey, Dave, Megan, Karla (Kurts Sister), Great Grandpa Morris, Tess, and Micah! There were some others that wanted to be there but things came up and they couldnt celebrate with us. She was a little overwhelmed at first but then she was just fine! She opened presents first and she would get so mad when i would take her toy she just opened away so she could open a new one. She wanted to play with the one she had in her hands! She made out pretty well let me tell you! She got LOTS of bath toys from Scott and Lindsey, a little rider that sings from Dave, a leap frog caterpillar with the ABC's from Tess and Micah, super cute clothes from Megan and Grandma and Grandpa Van't Hof and Clara, a monkey and diapers from Karla, a cool pop up book from Great Grandmpa Morris, a perosonalized rocking chair from Grandma and Grandpa Sommervold, and Erik and I got her a little dog that teaches songs and colors, and a farm animal see and say. So yea she has been pretty busy at home now! She had a lot of fun with her smash cake!!! She didnt hesitate at all! She was so tired at the end of the party that she fell asleep on our way to town and went right to bed for a nap when we got home! There will be more pictures to come once I get them from my Mommy Dearest!! She took the good ones!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Erik and I went out with our friends afterwards. It was kind of a going away get together for Josh and Wendy. We went to the Steakhouse for supper and then all met downtown at the bar. We played the Wii in the bar! The owner bought a wii, which is pretty much awesome! You can bowl, box, golf, play tennis, and baseball all while in the bar! It was a fun night out! We dont do that very often but it was a lot of fun. Megan stayed with Cameryn, she had some final tests to study for so she watched Cammy. I was at ease, knowing I had a good babysitter that was at our home with her! Megan is the greatest EVER! She is so good with Cam and I dont worry at all with her!

Newest addition to the Lovrien Family

YAY! We have a new cousin! Hayden Rose joined the family on November 28th, 2007. Weighing in at 7lbs and 20 inches long. Amie (mom) is doing well and it sounds like Tim (dad) and Big Brother Landen are excited to have her around finally! Landen helped name her with the name of Rose which is alot better than what he had picked out in the first place.......Grover! haha. Cant wait to tease him about that when he gets older! To view her cradle roll pic go to http://www.our365.com/WebNursery/WebNursery/Baby/BabyPage.aspx?birthid=0&babyid=0# . She is definatley a cutie pie! She has more hair than Cameryn whose almost 1 now, and shes got big eyes! I cant wait to finally meet her!

Not the Saturday Night we expected!

All Smiles!

Scott and Lindsey! (They are both Smiling for once! haha!)

Us girlies!

Cam enjoying a drink or two!

Erik and I smiling for the Camera!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*

The Viborg game was postponed due to the weather, which I was confused by because in Sioux Falls when I was working it really wasnt bad at all. Then at 5 I headed home and went under the Canton exit into a whole new world it seemed. The weather got worse just going under the bridge! I couldnt believe it! It got even worse as I got closer to home! So what did we do when I got home?! We drove to Canton to bowl! HAHA. Yea so maybe we arent the brightest but we took it slow and went bowling! It was a nice change of pace! Poor Cameryn was pretty tired, but she did pretty well! She was amazed by all the black lights! She sooooo badly wanted to walk down the lanes to the pins, then wasnt impressed when we had to stop her! It was a cheap night! Everyone got a pop for a dollar and then it was 10 bucks for 2 rounds for 2 of us. Cant complain! You certainly cant do anything in Sioux Falls for that cheap! Just to rub it in a tad I actually beat Erik in the first round! BOOOYA! I Even started that round with 3 straight gutter balls! I also threw a turkey in that round! Of course the second round I didnt beat him! Its not very often I can beat Erik in ANYTHING so I have to rub it in when I do!

These boots were made for Walkin'

Well Cameryn is yet again sick. The flu went around daycare and we have had a sick little girl!!! Oh the joys! I stayed home from work to take care of her, it was a lot of cuddling, running to a bucket and sleeping. Cant wait for this to pass! Yesturday Grandma Shelly took Cam and I to Sioux Falls with her, and Cam and Xan got some new boots! Cameryn likes hers! She walks a little funny with boots on but she walks better in socks than shoes anyways! Hopefully by Saturday Cam will be feeling better so we can go to Daddys first basketball game of the season! She might have to strut her stuff in her new boots! it might be a little interesting with Cameryn this year! Last year she was so small and didnt move at all! Now shes walking all over and might not like the bleachers! I will definatly have lots of snacks! Well thought I would add some new pics! She is really growing up fast, you really can see how much she is growing up! WOW!

Another Season starts!

Yes that is right! Erik is now the assistant coach of the Alcester-Hudson Cubs again! YAY!!!!!! Unfortunatly our friends Josh, Wendy, and Braden have to move because of some unfortunate events. We are going to be sad to see them leave. On the good side of things Erik has now been rehired for the assistant coaching position. He will be student teaching in Elk Point (yes hes that much closer to graduating!) So we will have to see how the Elk Point-Jefferson game goes, it might be kind of interesting! I dont know if I could be any more excited! I love high school basketball season! I think partly because of the games but also I think it goes back to being in high school, life is very routine you dont have to think about what your going to do! You just go to the games! Last year I only missed one game and that was because I had given birth to Cameryn that day! So I think that is a valid excuse! I was at the game right after I had Cameryn! She was 4 days old and cheering the Cubs on! haha. Eriks first practice was this Tuesday night, he says theres lots of work to do but is confident that it will be a good season! He has some youngsters, I think he said they have the 8th graders too. Not to get a little off the subject but its pretty sad with the number of kids going out for sports! Granted you look in the stands and there isnt many kids in the stands either but WOW! When I was in High school we had A,B, and C teams for everything, well I cant remembere about girls basketball. Now they struggle to have A and B teams it seems! So maybe its just because the number of kids in school is lower but it just amazes me. Back to the subject. The first basketball game of the season is Saturday in Viborg, so I will be driving straight to Viborg after work! I will be posting again soon! Hopefully some pics of Cameryn and the game!

Double the Bubble Bath time

Well Cameryn got herself into a little bit of trouble, but we really couldnt get mad at her! Erik had given her a bath on Tuesday night. I usually do bath time,but he did it this night. After Cameryn gets out of the tub its pretty easy to forget to shut the bathroom door when your leaving to get her dressed. Once Camery was all dressed, she usually takes off and plays. She'll walk around to her bedroom and get some toys and come back, no big deal. This particular night she saw the bathroom door open and decided, "I want to play in the tub some more". Since the water had not been drained yet she jumped in. She must have taken a dive into the tub because the only thing that was dry was one arm. When I came around the corner to check on her I saw the bathroom door open and sprung forward thinking "Ohhh @#$%"." Sure enough she had taken a dive into the tub and was playing, PJ's and all. Since she was ok and we couldnt help but laugh and think how did you get in there? So here is some pics of her double bath time!

Well last weekend we had a busy one. Saturday I had to work like any other saturday and afterward I meet Erik Lindsey Scott Dave and Cameryn up in Sioux Falls. I had my Wells Fargo Autumn Celebration, and I was dragging Erik to that party to meet my work buddies and since there was a chance of winning a flat screen TV, an Ipod, ect, I made him go (practically kicking and screaming). Cameryn went to stay with Megan, shes practically one of my sisters! I didnt know how Cam would take that, but everything went well! Megan has a bunch of pics of her on her facebook.com page so I think she enjoyed it too! So since we had a babysitter we went to the nasty Sunbird Lounge at the Oaks in Sioux Falls. They had a band, I think it was Powerplay!? They were awesome! I would say second to my favorite JUDD HOOS! Which by the way are playing in Harrisburg tonight, but being its Thanksgiving the following day I wont be going. :( Basically we just sat there and made fun of ppl to our little group! You wouldnt believe the people in there! There were like 50 year olds with their boobs falling out of their shirts and g-strings clear up their backs! All we could do was say WOW. (we arent mean people we just like to see how different other people are and be amazed by it!) Lindsey was getting sick and running a fever so her and Scott went home early (to her apartment in Sioux Falls!!!! YAY). We later went to pick up Cam and went to Lindseys apartment with Cam to crash. We could have drove home since I was the sober driver but we had other passengers to take home the next morning. Then Sunday we went to my parents church. My little sister had a puppet show that they were doing. It was actually pretty neat! Cameryn loved it and all the old ladies in the church were watching her watch the puppets and smile and clap! It was pretty cute! Erik was pretty amazed by the church, he grew up Catholic and basically this was the complete opposite. There was a praise team (made up of the kids including high schoolers) and they were clapping and singing. He was pretty amazed by it. He just said that was different, not bad different just different. Well I think thats enough for now. I could prolly go forever but I dont think people need that much of a detail of EVERYDAY of our lives!!!! Until next time!

Out and About

Lindsey and I (yay shes moving to Su Fu!!!!!!)

Erik and I

Lindsey and QJ being funny!

Lindsey and I giving Dave a kiss!


Yay, another trip to the doctor. Cam is allergic to Amoxil (a kind of pennacilin). She broke out with hives and her cheeks got all red. She never got a fever with the reaction but i was worried sick about it! So now her official weight for the week is 25 lbs 2 ozs. Seems like it has been a weekly trip to the clinic. The sad thing is its not me being a paranoid parent! They are bonifide trips! Thank god I'm not super paranoid! We would be in there twice or more a week! If this is the way her childhood is going to be Sanford health will love us! This week has been a quick one. I had a not so great week at work last week. I got docked pretty bad on my Quality Assurance at work, which is not so great. I was pretty excited about one thing though. I made my October monthly bonus, just barely but I did make it! I started out November doing pretty well too. I have the second highest core products close so far! Hopefully I can maintain that! Its pretty hard to do though! This job at Wells Fargo is alot harder than I ever expected! I have taken multi tasking to the next level! The weekend of Halloween we went out with QJ, Lindsey, and David! It was a nice break! Cameryn stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Sommervolds! They love it when we ask them to take her! Cameryn loves it too! Shes finally starting to notice Ramsey (their Boxer) which I dont think he is very happy about! She likes to touch his toe nails and he hates people messing with his feet! Our friends and us went out to Buffalo Wild Wings, YUMMMMMM. Then we went to Papadox. Ehh not to impressed! I guess we are just kinda old! All the females were barely wearing anything! Its pretty crazy! Erik had a choir concert on sunday which no one was allowed to go to! He pretty much hated the fact he had to go! This week we get to to pick up Cameryns old fashioned pictures in Madison. We cant wait to see them! She did so good! Micah and hers will turn out super cute! How can you go wrong with two of the cutest kids that love to smile for the camera!! Here is a pic of our little athlete to be!!!

"Fly Away Bubble Bee"

Boy does Cameryn enjoy stressing us out!!! The little turd was sick this week, she had a fever of 102.6 and stayed pretty high most of the nights anyways. I felt bad after we took her to the doctor because she has an ear ache and I felt like I should have noticed that but she wasnt been really messing with her ears so I guess she just doesnt go for giving us the obvious clues!!! She's been pretty much out of it lately because of the fever, and the drugging her up to keep it down. Tylenol and Motrin pretty steady for the day and night. She has been sleeping alot though so thats nice! Its really heartbreaking to see her so sick and miseable. So I had to use 2 days of PTO which isnt really awesome but she needed me more. I guess Mommy is the one she wants when shes sick, she wasnt real impressed with Daddy most the time for some reason. She just wanted Mommy to hold her and cuddle her, but there were a few times when Daddy could help console her. I wonder why it is that during the day she can sleep for hours but it comes to 3-5 AM and shes up screaming. I can honestly say not the most fun last few nights. Let alone worrying about how high her temp was getting. 103 degrees was really scaring me, I was starting to think that I should have taken her to the ER. At least now we have it all figured out and taken care of! Some Amoxil and the Tylenol and Motrin should take care of her! Thats basically been my week now, at least at this point in time its the only thing that I can remember! For Halloween Cameryn is going to be a little bumble bee, which by the way is the cutest little costume! My mom took some pictures of her and they are adorable!

Walk this Way!

Well another week has flown, it seems like all I do is wish my life away until the weekend or my day off! Well the planning for John and Tonia's wedding is underway! Tonia's best friend Toni is just doing and awesome job helping her get everything taken care of! They already have the reception place booked and shes looking for her dress already! Cam gets to be a little flower girl! Xandra is the other flower girl and Micahs the little ring bearer. I'm so excited! I cant wait to help her with everything! I didnt like getting everything ready for my wedding! I had to many decisions to make and decide what I liked, now I can just give advice and help were I'm needed! This week Cam has been fighting a cold. She has this nasty nose all the time that runs worse than a foutain! Its always running, at least she doesnt cry so much when we go to wipe her nose! She isnt happy about it but she doesnt scream most the time. She is really getting good at walking! Her and her Daddy play every night about 8ish until shes pretty well worn out! She just loves it! He growls and drags her across the floor and chases her. She just giggles the whole time! She is quite the eater wow! Now she doesnt eat her bottle in the middle of the night, the doctor said no more midnight snacks.....it was rough at first, but now she doesnt wake up. She had quite the attitude about it first. I'd just give her a bottle of water and wow did I get some attitude from her about that! That is so scarey almost 10 months old and she can pull and attitude! Tuesday I had jury duty! UHG. All I can say is thank goodness I didnt have to do the James Strahl case! I got there and waited for like an hour and 45 min and then they settled. I dont think I would have been on the panel anyways because I knew most the people that were in the court house.This Wednesday Cam had her WIC appointment, wow that nurse is weird! Cam wasnt impressed either but she likes the WIC secretary! She even put her arms up for her to pick her up! Lindsey went with us to Elk Point then we went to Canton so Lindsey and I could get our new drivers licsense. She hasnt had hers since we went to Judd Hoos in Harrisburg like 4 months ago maybe longer! I had to get Sommervold put on it! Finally an ID with a decent pic on it!

Got some Catching up to do!

Wow, I'm a little behind!! So we will start with the trip to Missouri. Wow is that a long ride with alittle one! She isnt old enough to be interested in a movie or anything so she at alot of goldfish and Cheerios on the way. She has gotten so much better at walking since then!! When we would stop at rest stops or gas stations she would get out and walk with 2 ppl holding her hands!! Any ways back to the wedding. It was a very nice small service. I was expecting a huge wedding but it wasnt. The service was very nice, their minister did a very good job and we got a little bit of humor when Gordon couldnt remember the line in his vows about being faithful. But when Hollis turn came she fumbled it a little too!! We all had a chuckle!! Hollis little Jordan was the cuttest little boy ever!!! He walked SUPER slow down the isle, someone must have told him to walk very slow cuz after the service he practically ran back up the isle!! Holli and Gordon will have their hands full with him!!! Cam had a blast at the dance! She was passed back and forth to about everyone!! She got to dance with Erik and I and she loved being dipped! She just giggled! Then she got to dance with Uncle John! Boy, he can act so tough but when it comes to Cam hes such a softy!Here are some pics!

How cute right!! Speaking of John.......He finally popped the question to Tonia!!! And of course she said YES! Since he started dating her he has been the happiest guy! As far as we know they are still deciding on a date so looks like a wedding again next year!!! Any ways thats the most exciting news I have. This week has been really busy, Cameryn had her 9 month check up. And of course shes a BIG girl. She is very proportionatly growing but shes in the 7100% for height and weight, and no that is not a typo, it says (seven thousand one hundred percent). So she is definatly a Sommervold!! She is also very VERY advanced for her age, at 9 months she should just be starting to crawl but shes about walking! The doctor told me to not get up in the middle of the night to get her a bottle. She doesnt need the extra calories, so I just give her a bottle of water which she is less than impressed with! She gets alittle bit of an attitude when I give her the water! Like um what the heck is this, this is not what I want. She did sleep through the night on the second night but the 3rd she cried alittle bit. She is getting better at walking though! She really gets going with one hand on the couch and tries to just take off and can make it a few steps most the time but I'm still trying to capture it on the camera! Saturday night we had our friends come over, Scott, Lindsey, and Dave. We grilled steaks, had baked potatoes, and corn. I even baked a 2 layer cake with my familys recipe for frosting!!! Then the boys played some video games, until we got sick of just sitting there, so then we played some Mario cart. Lindsey and I kind of took turns. Then we played some Catch Phrase. All of us came to the conclusion that we are kind of liking just hanging out on the weekends! Ohh yea Lindsey is going to be moving to Sioux Falls in December, she will be working at Sanford! I am so excited for that!! We can actually hang out a little more then! Here is a pic of everyone (but me) playing mario cart!

Thought I would throw in a SUPER cute pic showing off all of the teeth Cam has now! Yeah thats 8 now. You can see other ones coming in but she has 8 for now!!! Such a happy baby!!!

I have Wedding pics!!

If you want to see the complete collection of pics go to http://www.pattyhansen.org/gallery_back_weddinggallery.html I tried to put them on here but for some reason it wouldnt work so in order to check them out you'll have to go to the site! YAY! I finally have the wedding pictures! WOW I'm so excited! They turned out very well! They aren't on the website SisterSnapShots.com I dont know if the sister dont take pics together but now they are just on Patty's Portraits! This week has gone so fast! Cam is really starting to get brave with taking her first steps. She takes off and she has a tendency to fall forward. She gets SOOOO excited and just gets jumpy and falls forward. Its pretty cute! She's all like "I'm a BIG GIRL!" It's amazing how quickly she pics up on things! Pretty soon she will be running everywhere. This week not a whole lot has happend. Same old same old. Just the wedding pics are new. Hopefully one of these nights I can capture Cameryn on camera taking her steps. Friday night Dave invited us all over for supper! So we went over for Hudson for Lasagna. QJ went over with us, we always hang together as a 4 and 1/2 group (Cam is the 1/2 of course).Completely off the topic and a little ahead of the game but I'm so excited for CHRISTMAS! I can't wait to get a Christmas tree that is actually a normal size! Christmas with Cam this year will be fun! I'm going to be more excited about what she gets for Christmas than she will cuz shes just gonna want the box and the wrapping paper. I'm probably going to go pretty crazy with the decorations! I think I'm probably going to turn into my Mother. How scary is that!? She goes crazy with Christmas! She puts Christmas things up at Thanksgiving! I hope I don't get that CRAZY (not in a bad way MommyDearest, love ya!). I have some pretty good ideas! Hopefully my bank account and spare time can help accomidate what I wanna do! HAHA. Maybe we will have to modify everything to fit the bank account! But what else is new right! On Saturday the 29th Erik, Cam, Grandma and Grandpa Sommervold, John, Tonia, Tess, Craig, Micah, and I are all going to Missouri to Gordon and Holly's Wedding! So next week we will hopefully have some pics from that! So thats the newest thing we will be doing! Nothing new really goes on so thats exciting for us!

Smiles and Kisses

After taking her first few official steps she was a little pooped so she wouldnt get up and walk when I finally started to record her. She would rather sit and smile at the camera. I thought this would make anyones day! How can you resist kisses and smiles from such a sweet cutie pie!?!?! Its not quite as cute as that baby from Utube and now the AIG commercials. That is a cute kid! Erik and I were both pretty excited that Cam started to take her first steps. She just gets so excited and just kind of forgets to move her feet and dives into the floor. The boys and Daycare (babysitters boys) love working with her so between Erik, me and the boys and Daycare it wont be long before shes up and running! But just thought I would post this cute video of Cam smiling and giving Kisses! We dont quite know whats with the lip curl that she does in this video but its kind of cute! Still no Wedding pics. As soon as they are up I will defintely let it be known!!! And just for the record here, I've been asked if I am expecting again. I guess I must look fat or something but NO WE ARE NOT HAVING ANOTHER BABY YET! That is at least another year away! My gut is called baby weight and come on! Cam is only 9 months! Besides I'm not the lets work hard to get your body to be rockin'. Nah I have better things to do! Like play with my daughter or get some stuff done like cleaning and laundry. Maybe someday! But I just really wanted to get that off my chest! Theres nothing worse than being asked if your pregnant when your not, or even when you are cuz its like telling someone they look tired (your basically telling them they look like h*ll.) they are saying you are looking alittle chubby! haha. Good thing It doent bother me TOO bad. Maybe just a little!

Back to her normal self! What a PIGGY!!

Well I think Cam is feeling better! She hadn't really eaten anything since eating the penny. I'm guessing her throat was a little sore, but now she's back to herself. Her first meal again was manderine oranges and Beefaroni. WOW what a mess. As you can see she had it all over her face, arms, and clear down into her diaper. I never realized how greasy that stuff is! She of course had to go straight to the tub, which since she decided Mommy can't feed her cuz she can do it herself, is a regular nightly occurance. She makes such a mess but thats what she wants to do, feed herself. When got into the tub she murdered all the bubbles with all the grease! I had to actually scrub her face to get her clean and her body had a little bit of an orange ting to it until I scrubbed her! When we drained the tub there was a greasy orange rim in the tub. So I also had to scrub the tub! WOW I dunno how much she will actually eat beefaroni! This weekend was pretty uneventful which is good compared to Friday night. I've had to get after Erik to try to help out around the house. He does so well sometimes, super done when I get home sometimes, some laundry done, picking up the apartment, and on a very rare but exciting occurance the dishes get done (he has a phobia of dishwater). Sunday we went to Great Grandma and Grandpa Van't Hofs to have lunch.Yum Yum, smoked BBQ ribs (Steve did an awesome job!) and another favorite of mine 7 layer salad! Those were my two favorite things! I brough snicker salad. I tried something different, instead of french vanilla pudding I used white chocolate. Yum Yum. Another week is starting. UHG. But at least it won't be so hot! I'm dreading this winter! I hate snow and having to travel during the winter doenst sound that great. I cant wait to see what Cam thinks though. Shes going to hate getting bundled up!! HAHA. We have to splurge and get her some new clothes. WOW shes only 9 months and is in 12-18 month clothes. Right now its getting cooler at night and her PJs are kinda tight, but with her thunder thighs thas expected! Well thats it for now Erik wants to check his fantasy football stats (he is in 3 different ones and even roped me into one league. I think its a trick to get me really into football.)

Another Trip to the Emergency Room.

You wouldn't believe that seeing this picture she was getting ready to go into Emergency Surgery. To bad my camera was dead so I couldnt take more than this one picture.

On Wednesday Cameryn decided that she would eat a penny. Ohh happy days. My neice Xandra somehow broke the front of a drawer (which is still a mystery) and so I cleaned everything out that was in there. Lo and behold Cameryn still found a penny, and of course at her age everything goes straight to her mouth. At first we didnt know what she was choking on, but i tried to dig it out and even make her gag to try to get it out. Then we discovered there was a screw missing from the drawer. Well wow did that set in the panic!! I called the hostpital and they told me to bring her in. Two e-rays later we found out it was a coin, they thought a quarter, which seemed impossible, that would be like a silver dollar for an adult....ummm I dont think I could swallow a half dollar! After talk of air lifting her to Sioux Falls, they told us to just go straight up to the ER. So Grandma and Grandpa Sommervold drove us to Sioux Falls. Poor Grandpa was about to run everyone over! Every little gag or cough she had was a nightmare, with the fear it will move and block her airway. When we finally got the the ER it was just a waiting game, what a misconception of the ER. You would think fast! But no we didnt even see a doctor there for over an hour! Then he just came in and said they were waiting for the x-rays and that a Peds surgeon would be taking over. Then Grandma Shelly came up to sit with us too. Daddy couldnt be reached until 8 because he was in class. So when he got to his car he saw that I had called about 6 times and I was calling at that second. All he could say is "WHAT?" Until I told him what was up. So he made it to Sioux Falls about 10-15 minutes before she went into surgery. She swallowed the penny at about 5. She finally left my arms around 9:15 to go into surgery. Wow can doctors scare the crap outta you! They made it sound like she wasnt going to make it. That is the worst feeling in the world! But "surgery" went well. They call is surgery because they had to put her out, but they just went down her throat to pull it out. We kept the penny for a keepsake. Boy o Boy she is gonna make me completely gray by the time I'm 25. I tell you what though. If she keeps going the way she has the last almost 9 months, we will be in the ER quite a bit throughout her life. But at least everything is ok! What a day! Ohh yeah there still arent any wedding pictures. UHG.

Just a boring weekend

Hello, I thought it was time for new blog. Not a whole lot is new!! Cameryn started kind of talking for us. She says "Ba" for ball and is really trying to get out "Pup" for puppy! She can just get the "Puh" out for puppy but shes trying!!!! So in my book thats pretty huge! Already trying to talk when shes not even 9 months yet! This weekend Erik and I were supposed to go to Ashley and Wayne (some friends of ours) wedding but I ended up working until 5:30 so we went to the dance. Unfortunately it was so hot at the dance we spent most of the night at the local watering hole "Waddy's". Which for being in the small town of Hudson was pretty hoppin! There was a lot going on. The Hudson Alumni reunion, volleyball, and then the wedding dance. It was a pretty fun time. Cam was with Grandma and Grandpa until we picked her up a little after midnight. I of course was the sober one!!! We are still very impatiently waiting for the wedding pictures. They should be viewable by the end of the week! So stay tuned!

Cam's 1st real meal by herself!!!

This is Cam's 1st experience with real people food besides snacking off Mommys plate!! She Loved the Spaghetti!!! Shes growing so fast!!!

The Wedding!!!!!

Wow! Finally Erik and I are married!!!! The wedding went very well! I think everyone had a good time once the beer got cold! Theres not a whole lot we can do when the bar people show up with warm beer and Kevin thought the punch was gone!!! It wasnt his fault though no one toldn him!!!! The ceremony was very short (9 min to be exact). We loved the whole ceremony! We did the unity sand which was pretty neat!!! Poor Cameryn was pretty pooped by the end of the night! Everyone wanting to hold her and see her! For being only 8 months old she did awesome! She made it for most of the pics which will be online within the next few weeks! (sistersnapshots.com). We are very glad to have the wedding over with! Now we can just be happily married and spend time with Camy. My advice to anyone planning a wedding or someday planning one, its more of a headache than anything! Although the only thing I would change is to be a little more organized and make both my mom and Eriks mom help equally! But thats it for my first blog!!!
