Simply Enchanted: May 2015

A glimpse into our lives. Thursday, May 14, 2015. Cam and I couldn't decide what picture we like more. 10 months and a day. At 10 months Rachel is a CHARACTER. She has all sorts of expressions, sounds, preferences, games and giggles. I wish I could just follow her around all day with a camera and catch all the cute stuff she does (but of course she moves quicker than a lens can capture). Big news. At the beginning of this month she rolled over for the first time! She does not like taking naps. We hav...

Simply Enchanted: June 2014

A glimpse into our lives. Sunday, June 29, 2014. 38 weeks - the size of a leek. It's okay - I didn't know what a leek was either. What's the doctor saying? I'm dilated to a fingertip and starting to efface. The baby is head down but hasn't dropped into the pelvis. I should have a good 7 pounder. It used to be worse. After a particularly bad night Cameron surprised me with a body pillow. I don't know how I ever lived without it! None, thanks to good genes. What type of question is that! Well that's it for...

Simply Enchanted: Birthday Party
http://crystalboyack.blogspot.com/2015/07/birthday-party.html
A glimpse into our lives. Saturday, July 18, 2015. I don't know what is more surreal; that my daughter is a year old or that I'm now the mom throwing birthday parties. We had a cup cake decorating party (at 10 in the morning. when Cam could be there. cupcakes for breakfast, yum! 4 dozen cupcakes, 6 colors of frosting, skittles, hot tamales, paper and markers. of course I'm biased because I planned it, but sounds like an awesome party to me. We did not plan the matching shirts/pants. She's a little walker.

A glimpse into our lives. Sunday, January 25, 2015. Motherhood is the best! I try to catch the joy of being a mom on camera but it just doesn't come close. Nevertheless, here are the results of my attempts:. Tummy time is always more fun when mom joins. The world is VERY exciting. She loves cuddling to papa and falling asleep. Came was asked to babysit. This is what I came home to :). Quality time with her aunt. The cousins LOVE her. She gives me this look all the time. She LOVES her dad. I always day dr...

A glimpse into our lives. Sunday, August 31, 2014. Last week Cameron gave Rachel a beautiful blessing at church. A baby blessing is a non saving ordinance in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The purpose is to give the baby an official name and to give a blessing for the child's spiritual and physical welfare (thank you Wikipedia.). Rachel wore the same dress I wore on my blessing day, made by my mom - even the lace on the dress was made by mom! I just can't get enough of this girl! After ...

Simply Enchanted: November 2014
http://crystalboyack.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
A glimpse into our lives. Friday, November 28, 2014. A Love Story: How We Met. Morgan, Utah. August 2, 2010. Why do I remember the date? It was my grandpa's 90th birthday and I burned down his kitchen. Happy Birthday Gramps! It was late at night and I was cooking crepes so the following morning we could have a delicious breakfast with the Mormon missionaries. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. When I turned around the oil was steaming. I turned down the stove and turned my back on the oven again. What do you do.

Simply Enchanted: April 2015

A glimpse into our lives. Wednesday, April 29, 2015. My cloth diaper routine. Lots of people ask me how. I cloth diaper. What they are really asking is what is my cloth diaper routine: How do you know it's wet? What do you do when you change your baby's diaper? What do you do with number two? How do you do laundry? And some people) What on earth are you thinking cloth diapering! This is not the gospel truth way to CD, just one more way that you can CD. Putting a Diaper On:. Yes, cloth diapers don't have ...

A glimpse into our lives. Friday, May 30, 2014. Last Day of School! Yes it is true, the school year is over. For those of you who don't know, I've spent the last year teaching at a Montessori/Suzuki school as their Suzuki violin specialist. As the Suzuki violin teacher I had over 200 violin students I saw 2X each week (grades 2-8), and conducted 3 orchestras. It was a blast! I definitely have a new respect for teachers - I cannot believe what they do year after year after year. Teacher: What is half of 20.

A glimpse into our lives. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Oh Summer. The time for family reunions. We were all so busy having fun that we didn't get the greatest pictures - they don't give the trips justice. But we'll try to fill in where pictures are lacking. All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go" (name that song). Visiting with G Gpa in the hot tub room. Rachel loved playing with the big kids. And they loved playing with her. Some of) the cousins. Taking a break on the drive home. Cam and I set up a tent...
