It's Been A While

 It's been a bit since I have posted. There hasn't been anything too crazy thankfully. 

March Madness ended. The one person we thought would fail miserably was the one who won. 

He may have picked one of the worst teams to make it to the finals, but he picked the team who won. Better yet, 3 of us beat Brad. 

For Christmas Camden got a game called Pandemic Legacy. Each round you win builds onto the next. You are working to eradicate a disease. Some times you add new characters or make it hard by bringing in Zombie. Some cards you tear up in the end or if the character dies. We failed a hand full of times. Only killed one character, but finally beat the game a few weeks ago. We want to get another one to do during summer. 

It was prom time. Emery went with her group of friends again this dance. Of course you still have to ask someone to go with you, so she asked Jenna. 

They took all day to get ready together, went downtown to take pictures, ate dinner then the dance. She did stop by so we could see her. She was not super excited to do that, but it meant a lot to be included one tiny way. 

Big, Huge, Exciting News

 

About beginning of February Cam messaged us that he is ready to buy a ring. We knew it was coming for a while and he has talked about it a lot longer than February. We have had the ring at our house since March 9th. I am so surprised Cailey did now know he had the actual ring for that long. 

She thought the plan was to look for ring/buy a ring this past week and a proposal a few weeks/months later. Camden wanted to surprise her. Everyone knew he was doing this, except for her. He even did a countdown for a week on his Instagram profile. (he hid her from seeing his profile) 

Monday, when they were here for Spring Break, Cailey and I went to 2 book stores and to Fiesta Chicken. She thought Brad and Cam were looking at rings, but Cam was getting flowers and setting up. 

It has been so fun since last summer getting to know Cailey more and more. I know they have been dating for 2.5 years, but her moving in really has helped. It was so fun to talk with her about so many things. Always have loved her and how she is with Cam and all that she does for and with him, I loved getting to know her as herself more. I can't wait for the years to come. 

It was fun to send her inside knowing the second she saw the first papers, she would know what is coming, know he lied about having a ring and to reminisce about how it was only 21 short years ago. 

Cam made 8 puzzles for her to solve. Each lead to a different part of the house. Each had a little to do with their dating past too. 

The last one lead her to the backyard. He did a Promposal at her house that was similar to this and she liked it. I read one of the puzzles and was not clever enough to get it, but she did amazing. 

I love that Luna wanted to know what was going on too. 

Not sure what he said, we just took lots of pictures. 

She said yes!

Now for wedding plans. They are going to do a small intimate wedding and then a bigger one when a few of friends/family are able to come. We are so excited to have Cailey join the family. She's the perfect addition.

Nails

                  Brad had the idea to get the products so us girls could do our own nails. Cailey does her own often so I asked her for help what to get. It took a while, and mine looked 'special'.                                

The end products!

Zoo Day

 Today we decided to go walk around the Zoo. We have not been in years and it was a beautiful day. The kids all laughed at us going, but ALL the kids wanted to go. 

Emery and Jenna got a cool picture of a meerkat. 

The boyz and the Penguin's.

The Sloth Bear. This animal just always looks rough. 

It was fun to walk around and see the animals. They always look so sad though. Love but kind of hate Zoos. 

Super Bowl

Cam and Cailey came up for the Super Bowl. It was a fun weekend to go make cookies, play games and watch some of the 'big game'. We did our annual BINGO. Beck chose to work so his coworker, who loves one of the teams, could watch the game. The prizes for this year was gift cards. One $10 and one $15 each. It was a good plan but  by half time, only Cam had one BINGO. It was still fun, we just let them pick in the end. We know they don't really care about the game, but the time as a family is what matters. 

 

Cookie Decorating

 

Today we went to Twin to learn how to decorate cookies with the girls in the Barnes Family. Thursday Beck filled the car tires; it didn't seem to work so Brad took him later that night and filled them up. The next day Brad went out and the tire was down to 19 PSI. Weird but maybe the cold did something. We filled it up and then today I went to leave and it was down to 25 PSI again. I didn't feel comfortable taking that car, so we went back and got the kid's car. A few minutes after I left brad sent me a text, the tire had a screw in it. So good we didn't take it. On the freeway that could have been really bad. Brad took it in and they fixed it for free. 

I can now see why they charge so much for these cookies. It was fun to do, but a lot of work! You have to do them in layers or parts and getting good lines is hard to do. 

She did a good step by step and they all turned out at least semi cute. 

Theses are mine. Not too bad, I think. 

Emery and Cailey's. Not going to be my next hobby, but still fun to do. 

Picture Dump

It's been a bit but not much has happened, but I have a few pictures on my phone. 

Luna likes to sleep like a human sometimes. Pretty cute when she does. 

Emery finished her Lego, took her a few days but it looks really cool hung up on the wall. 

Emery and her friends get together each year and pick a name, go to Build-a-Bear and they make one for their secret person. Then they show what they created. Its a cute way to do gifts for each other. They went to Scentsy afterwards for pictures.  She also went downtown on New Years to watch the potato drop. 

Cailey was in London for a few weeks visiting her family. She brought home so candy (love a Curly Wurly) and a cool skyscape. Cam was very excited when she got home.
