Seamus' 10 month pictures

These turned out sooo cute. Those of you that know me know that every month for the first year I take the kids in on their month birthday to take pictures and usually do it with the theme for that month. Seamus was all smiles and happy in the lobby but as soon as we were taken back into the studio he was so serious. I also try to photo any milestones because I am horrible at writing them down and this month he has started standing on his own. Enjoy!!! Well worth the watch. :)

Virtual Friends

In moving my middle 2 children left behind their bestest friends...Alexander and Jason have been best buds since they were in the hospital together. Terrilyn and Keri are almost too much alike...but separating them broke both mommies hearts. This is how they play now...too cute and so sad at the same time.

Terrilyn sat down at the computer with a doll and Kerri says "you want to play dolls, hold on I will go get my dolly" and comes back with her doll they show them off to each other. Then they all start coloring pictures and show them to each other. While they are coloring then the start singing songs. We love Skype at our house we get to see grandma and grandad, we saw daddy when he was in Alaska last fall, and now we see our buddies from Tucson.

Ok, I know its been a while since I last posted so there is a lot that I caught up on so read down to the "we made it" post.

Christmas letter pictures

We stayed in town for Thanksgiving and per tradition we took our Christmas letter pictures. This proved to be interesting with me having to set up the camera on a makeshift tripod then setting the timer and getting back in to position and making sure that everyone was looking at the camera at the same time. Some of them are really cute though.











Random pictures of cuteness

Poor Seamus I have been so busy unpacking and getting things together that sometimes I forget where he is...and when i realize that it is too quiet I usually find something like this


Cameron is an excellent big brother and very helpful

Terrilyn and Alexander are always up for taking a picture but i really took this one because i couldn't stop laughing at Alex and all the cars that he had stuffed into his pockets
Seamus is loving eating solid foods

the other day Terrilyn and Alexander where eating some yogurt and left it out on the floor where the crawling Seamus was able to get to it and i came out to the living room to discover this cutie covered in yogurt.

This one just cracks me up
one afternoon we caught Cameron out on the block wall in the backyard dancing to his own music

Halloween

I feel awful I have a total of 3 pictures taken for this past Halloween. The bad part is that we had 3 different chances to trick or treat. Cameron's school had a trick or treat night the week before and the kids made quite a haul. Then there was the ward trunk or treat with more candy. However when it actually came to Halloween night the younger 2 refused to eat dinner so Jeremy just took Cameron out.


Here is a clip of Seamus who is fearless and crawls to and on anything.

moving day

The morning that we moved we got pictures with the kids and their bestest buds in front of the Uhaul.  Like in anything with a bunch of kids involved someone is cranky or will not cooperate etc.  this particular morning it was Cameron he was tired it was early and he just wanted to get on his way riding in the big truck.

Lemon children with the Quast children (oh how we miss these kiddos)

Lemon children with the Oldham children (oh how we miss these kiddos too)

This was our little housewarming guest in the front entryway (keep in mind it was dark while we were unloading so the picture isn't as clear as it could be)

We Made It!!!

Thank you to all that helped get us on our way :) We loaded the truck Friday morning (and thanks to someone who worked for UPS in college everything made it safely in the truck with room to spare)
We have arrived safe and sound not without its hangups of course.
Jeremy took off in the uhaul hauling his car with Cameron and Terrilyn around 8am hoping to make it here by 5pm so he could unload with daylight. I was left cleaning up those last bit of things and loading the van with what was left in the house. My neighbor had Alexander and Seamus while I finished up. I had just put the last of the stuff in the car including my purse and keys and threw Chewy in and shut the door so he wouldn't get out while I shut up the house and as I walked away from the van I heard "click" meaning that the car had just locked itself. It was around 9:45am and it was supposed to get to 100 degrees. A different neighbor was out trimming his bushes and is a bit of a car wiz so I asked him if he could help but after about 10 min. it was clear he wasn't going to be able to do anything. I called the insurance company to send out a locksmith...they told me to expect someone in 45 min(seriously there is a dog locked in the car), I called the locksmith to let them know that there was a dog locked in there, they assured me that they were aware and someone was to be there ASAP. An HOUR later he turned up and in less then 5 min unlocked the car(and mentions "they didn't tell me there was a dog locked in there(I verified this 3 times hellooo people). So I pick up the kiddos and didn't get on my way till 11:30 and I still have 3 huge trash bags that I was planning on dropping off at Goodwill on my way out of town and needed to get to the post office. Needless to say Jeremy is now way ahead of me with no chance of catching up like the plan was.
Well Jeremy made it all the way to the Hoover Dam checkpoint and they tell him that he can't go over the damn with the truck hauling the car and he needs to backtrack almost an hour to take the cut off to Laughlin.
So it turns out that in the end I beat Jeremy by about 5 min and we arrived just after 7pm. 4 of Jeremy's new coworkers came over and had us unloaded in about an hour and a half.
Now I am living in what seems to be a never ending sea of boxes that needs homes somewhere. Cameron started school today and was really excited (it was also crazy hair day). My washer and dryer will be delivered this morning and I have MOUNTAINS of laundry to do. Jeremy starts work bright and early at 7am tomorrow...life is slowly starting to get back to normal pace.
Maybe.

MOVING

So for those of you that don't know we are moving to Henderson Nevada. Jeremy got a great job opportunity and we took it. Now we are just dealing with the logistics of moving 4 kids(we are CRAZY!!!) the computer is getting taken down tonight and will hopefully be up and running Monday night. To top this all off I had some super cute video of Seamus that I am having problems uploading to this new computer so hopefully I will get it figured out. See you all in Vegas :)

I just posted 4 long posts so be sure to read down to Cameron's Birthday. Sorry trying to figure out the programs on new computer. :) Enjoy

Mt Lemmon



Cameron had Monday off so we decided to get out of the house for a while and Drove up to Mt Lemmon. We picnicked and hiked around for the afternoon. The weather was perfect!

The kids were going crazy finding colored bb's. We walked up this dry creek bed for a while finding them.I couldn't get over how cool this bark looked...so smooth and chocolaty.
One of the lookout spots that you can pull over to has a bunch of rock outcroppings that you can climb around on.This tree was so cool looking. About 7 years ago(I think) there was a big fire on Mt Lemmon but I wonder if this tree encountered it or if its just cool on its own.
Believe it or not it does snow hear in Tucson and when Mt Lemmon gets enough you can go skiing and their icon is a snow capped lemon so of course we Lemon's get a picture taken by this sign every time we go up.
