Update and whole lot more

We have been in Salk Lake City now for about a month. Brandon has started a new job in Orem and he loves it! It is a long commute so we will most likely be relocating to Orem.
We are still waiting for our place in Wisconsin to be leased. Once that happens, we will be looking for a home.

I have been a home body since we arrived...call it getting adjusted. Recently Brooklyn has started preschool and dance and has enjoyed it so far. It also helps me just get out of the house a little.

Here is her first day of preschool pictures.


Here is Colby...he loves to play with his bumper


Dallin didn't want us to forget to pack him :). Actually, a few days before this I was having nightmares about one of the twins being packed up and not being able to find him! Now no worries, we all got here safe and sound...in a car, not inside suitcases because in real life I am not a horrible mother! Maybe not the best, but not horrible. Whew. Glad I got that cleared up. :)



I forgot to put them down for a morning nap, but they are flexible.


We were able to go visit Brandon's grandparents this weekend in Twin Falls and had a great time. It is so good to see them! I hope they are recovering from our children:).


Twins twins and more twins.

I think the Tylenol finally kicked in for Colby and he could finally sleep! Teething is No Fun!

Long overdue!

Here are pictures from Dallin's group party and a family Chuck E Cheese party

Kendall, Ally and Dallin all had birthdays back in July so we had a group party for them at the park.

Firsts


Here are a bunch of firsts for the Camp Clan. We are just playing catch up on the blog so excuse the long posts.


First Solids
Yes, they are almost 7 months old, but starting rice cereal seemed a daunting task. (And actually, Parker has some cereal once around 4 months old. (We only got video of that, no pictures.)
Parker (below) didn't like it, although I got him to smile for his pictures

Colby (below) really liked it but didn't really know how to eat it.


First Haircut
Before


After



First Teeth- unfortunately no pictures of this...but Parker got his first tooth Sept 6th and Colby cut both bottom teeth the next weekend.

First Stitches (due to an accident...I forgot that he was probably stitched up after his several procedures when he was a baby)
Dallin and Brooklyn were wrestling while holding pillows. Well, Dallin went for the full force body slam and his head hit the edge of the coffee table. It was pretty traumatic for him...and me. Luckily Brandon was home. Brandon doesn't do well with blood and things of this nature, but the adrenalin kicked in and he got it to stop bleeding and took great care of Dal. After a long ER visit Dallin got 3 stitches. The next day I had to do all the bandaging etc because is was making Brandon weak in the knees.

First Makeover
Gotta love Brooklyn puckering her lips to show off her lip gloss


Dallin (who did not want his picture taken) also had his first makeover thanks to Brooklyn. If you look carefully there is pink above his right eye. He also has a "manly" scar between his eyes now. Does that counter the make-up?

First Balmex incident....well, maybe not the first and probably not the last.
I guess I just couldn't have a post without some craziness.

Happy Birthday Brooklyn!

Happy Birthday to my 4 year Old!
We love you SOOO MUCH!










We were able to have a Chuck E Cheese/ Puppy party for Brooklyn the day after we arrived in Utah. A big thanks to everyone who came and especailly Lori for making her a cake and putting on a little puppy party for us!!!
