Happy birthday Cam!

Today is actually Cam's 3rd birthday but we had a party for him yesterday. He got everything that he wanted. As you can see it was Thomas theme and the cake did end up to be a disaster but he loved it and that was great! He was so excited to get all of his Thomas train sets. He did also get some fish from grandma and grandpa Petersen. He has been into that too, we can't ever go to Wal-Mart with out seeing the fishies. Anyway, he had a great day and thanks to every one who came. I can't believe how fast time flies. He is all of a sudden so grown up and independent it's just crazy! We love you Cam and glad that you had a good day!

R.I.P. Thomas

Cam has been obsessed with Thomas lately and Nikki bought this Thomas for him and it was the first train he has ever had so he thought it was pretty cool! He had only had it a couple of days when Thomas ended up missing. We searched EVERYWHERE! I just figured that he lost him at a store or something. He kept asking me to find him and I couldn't! So, yesterday I was in my kitchen and I looked outside and there he was! All chewed to pieces! Our dog some how got a hold of him and Cam was devistated! He was trying so hard not to cry he had his lip out and kept saying "he has no face, Puppy ate his face!" And wouldn't even touch him! I felt bad, but of course had to tell him that he can't leave his toys outside or this is what happens. Hard lesson learned but I bet he will get more Thomas toys for his Birthday!

P90X

So, I have completed week 8! YAY! I can't beleive how fast it has gone by. I only have 4 weeks left. Crazy! I have been thinking about what I am going to do after it is all over and I think that I will take a few days off...maybe! It has become a part of my life and I don't think that I will ever give it up! I may not be as strict about doing it every day but I do think that it is some thing that I will always use. I love the results I have so far and I find myself wanting to work harder and harder each week. I feel like I can always do better than what I did the day before. It's a work out that of course hard to get going and do it every day but by the time it is over I feel awsome! I love the variety of workouts it gives that way I am never board. I have been doing it for 8 weeks and I still find myself asking what the next work out is about...it changes so much. So, again to anyone who is looking for a great work out that "works" this is it! Fast results and addicting!

Happy birthday Carsen!

Carsen's birthday was actually on Friday but I am barely getting around to post pictures. I took my kids to Safford on Saturday to visit for his party and they had a great time. Cam was so excited to see them and Faith was just happy like always. As you can see they got to do some swimming and we did get to take them to the carnival as well but no pictures of that because I didn't want my camera broke. Anyway, just wanted to say happy birthday Cars and thanks for having us over to play! We love and miss you already!

tiny toes

The other night Faith and Cam were doing their evening play time and Faith was running from Cam and stubbed her toe on one of Cam's cars which at our house is not hard to do. It was VERY tramatic! Now her toes are so chubby there was no way I could get a band aid on it so I had to hold her til it stopped bleeding. So Sad! This is the best picture I could get...she wouldn't hold still.

grandma & grandpa

So, I really don't have any thing new to post about our little fam so I decided to steel this picture from Nikki's blog and use it on mine. This is my dad's mom and dad. I love this picture of them they look so happy and I always remember it at my grandma's house ever since I was little. Some of you don't know about grandma Pete so I will tell a little story about her. I actually never knew my grandpa he passed away when Nikki was a baby so, my grandma has been with out her "sweetheart" for a while now. I remember running away to her house when I was little all the time. I couldn't have been very old maybe 3...I don't know but she used to live next door to us and I remember getting in trouble all the time for that. You know grandma's they always have goodies at their house and I was a chubby little grill! Anyway, she used to...and still occasionally calls me her little princess. :) Anyway, we all love grandma Pete! We wish we could see her more often but we do our best and I try to keep her updated on pictures but I could always do more. Anyway that's the explaintion on the picture and thanks Nik for letting me steel it from you!

BeSt BuDs

This is just another LaZy DaY at the Fox house! Cam and Faith are watching their favorite show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and I love how they were sitting together. They really are pals! We were driving in the truck and Cam was acting "goofy" and Faith was cracking up at him. She thinks he is just great! Kris and I couldn't help but laugh along. Too cute. Anyway, when Cam got sick of Faith he moved on to dad. Yes, even dad sacrifices sports center for Mickey Mouse...what a nice dad!!!!

Kissy, Kissy

Cam loves to give kisses. Every time I ask for a kiss he has to give me 100. I thought these were sweet pictures! I love you Cam you are my sweetheart, don't ever stop being a momma's boy! Thank you for being such a nice boy!

Mr. Cam

As some of you know Cam was in the hospital for 2 days this week. He had been sick for a week but just gradually got worse and all the doctors including us just thought that it was allergies until Tuesday morning when he woke up barely breathing. I had taken him to see the doctor the day before but we were just sent home with more allergy medicine hoping that they would work that time but the situation got worse...WAY worse. When I got him back to the doctor's office his oxygen level was at 76 and for a kid it should be at least 95 so it was VERY scary! They started him on breathing treaments there, which seemed to help until he was done with one so off to the ER we go. At this point Cam is really working to get any air and they give more treatment and start an IV...That was a nightmare! Anyway, they ran tests and no RSV, Flu, or Pnemonia. They then diagnose him with a severe asthma attack that is allergy related. Kris has asthma and has always said I hope our kids NEVER end up with it and sure enough Cam got it. Anyway, so two days and nights later Cam is finally home and is doing awsome! He is back to normal and hopefully we will NEVER be in that situation again. We will have to give him treatments for the next couple of days and antibiotics as well but now maybe we can catch the attacks before it gets too bad again...if he ever gets one again. They don't know what triggered it and we may never know but we just have to keep our eyes open for shortness of breath. Anyway, I just want to thank every one who helped out with Faith...Mandy, my parents and Nanny you were a life saver! Also every one who stopped by and spent time with Cam while he was sick...couldn't have done it with out the company! THANKS!

Happy Birthday Miss Faith!

Today is actually Faith's birthday but we had her little party yesterday. As you can see the theme was ladybugs. She had a blast playing with all of her cousins. We had a very full house! It's always a big even when Kris' family and mine get together! Faith was a little show off like always but when we sang the Happy Birthday song she got embarassed...where that came from I don't know. Anyway, we had a really good time and she got lots of gifts! Thanks to every one who came and thanks to Mike and Donette for having the party there! It was fun!!!!

update

This is mainly for my records. I don't want to forget this so I am just posting it for my memory.

Mr. Cam will be 3 at the end of March and so far he is 35lbs and is 41 inches tall. I can't believe that my sweet boy has grown up to be so big!

Miss Faith is turning one on Monday! So far she is weighing 24lbs which is in the
90th percentile and she is 29 inches tall and she is in the 70th percentile for that. My baby girl is growing like a weed!!!!

sledding

We went sledding yesterday and had a blast! Cam had no fear what so ever! He went down the steepest part of the hill and accross the road and he just laughed. I did get a video but I have to figure out how to put it on here. Anyway, Faith laughed and had a good time watching her big brother be brave. We took our dog too and she thought he was hilarious! Kris decided that he needed a turn and man I hit record at the right time because he did crash! I knew it was coming and it was too funny! Anyway, here are a few picture so see. Enjoy!

P90X

Ok so I have finished week 4...YAY!!! Only 8 more to go! Now the part that I personally hate is I have to take the 30 day results pictures. I have to say I am very pleased with the results I have so far...I have had a pair of jeans that I had bought when we were living in San Diego...2 years ago and they have been collecting dust in my closet since then. Now I have tried them on a couple of times since I had Faith and nope no way was I even getting them over my thighs!!! SAD! So, the other night we were going out to dinner and I thought what am I going to wear...all my jeans are dirty! So, I go to my closet and grab the pair of jeans and what do you know they fit! No effort what so ever to get them up! I am so excited! Even though I have only been doing the program for 4 weeks I already have results and I can't imagine what they will be like after another 8 weeks! So, if any one is looking for a challenge that WORKS!!! This is it! I was skeptical about the program but I have stuck to it, changed my diet and I can say that it works!!! It is already part of my daily routine and I feel weird when I have a day off. It works girls! Give it a try I love it!

Rare moment

Kris told me not to post this but I couldn't resist. The other morning I was trying to get things done around the house and Faith would not stop following me so I made her a bottle and plopped her on Kris and she actually stayed there! She NEVER lets him hold her...she is such a mommy's girl! So, I had to take some pictures. Kris enjoyed it while it lasted and Cam was just doing the usual bouncing on his mickey mouse ball.

Happy birthday!

Yesterday was Ryan's birthday. We all went over to Mandy's and had dinner and cake and icecream for him. It was lots of fun, we always have a get together for birthdays and even though the guys are never thrilled about it, it's still a good time for all the family to get together and celebrate. We were glad that Bree got to be there for her daddy's birthday! She had a good time helping out with the candles. Anyway, I know he will probably not see this but I just wanted to wish Ryan a happy birthday and hope that he had a good 22nd! We love you!!!!

Happy birthday!

I just wanted to wish my totaly cool cousin Andrea a very happy birthday today! I was going through some old pictures and found these super cool pictures of us and had to post them for her birthday! Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful birthday and just wanted to say "I love you dream woman" I wish we lived closer but at least we have blogs! Again love you and have a good one!

P90X

~Ok so I decided that I am going to blog about my P90X experience for more motivation and some people have no idea what this is so I am going to give some details on my adventure. Kris and I have started this exercise program called P90X. It's a work out program that will get you ripped in 90 days...We are in our second week and I have to say that it is awsome! I can honestly say that I really do like it. It is VERY intense but at the same time addicting. I NEVER thought that I could say that about working out but it has really got me hooked! Every day you work some thing new and even though it is a 7 day program you do have some easy days...like day 4 you do Yoga and the 7th day you just do streching. Anyway, you are supposed to take before and after pictures through out the program and yes, I have some pretty embarassing pictures right now but hopefully by the time my 90 days are up I will have some impressing pictures that I will get to share but until then you will just have to settle with the updates. Anyway, that is what I am up to now days and I will be posting updates through out the process...wish me luck!!!!

Mini Vaca

So I got my weekend get-a-way and boy was it worth it! The kids had an absolute blast! We got LOTS of pool time and park time and the best part was this little play land that we found. It was so cool! Cam LOVED the mazes and slides and it was such a nice place...it was clean and there was hardley any kids there. So nice! Faith had a blast trying to master the 2 inch step and made new friends and not to mention the ENORMOUS slides that they had there. It was so fun! If anyone is interested this place is called Jump and Play and it's by Bass Pro and it really is cheap too! Way worth it! Anyway, just wanted to share our fun weekend so enjoy!

Summer anyone?!?

Ok, so this background is just a temp. but I just wanted to ask...WHO IS READY FOR SUMMER? Man lately I am just ready for winter to be over...yes, I know there is still a lot of it but I am ready for warm wheather and summer clothes and beach time! Not to mention I hate the WINDY season. Can we just skip that part?!? I am really dreading that. Even though my kids birthday are both in March I just want to celebrate that then be done! Anyway, enough complaints my kids and I did have a good day no I didn't get pictures but it was such a nice day so we went to the park. I guess that is why I am ready for summer because my kids had a great time just being able to play outside and not cooped up in my house all day every day, which leads me to my next question...WHO NEEDS A VACA?!? It seems like I am ALWAYS needing a vacation lately. ARRRG!!! Anyway, hope every one is having a good day and look forward to new posts!

Messy Hair

Not much has happened this past week for us but Cam did wake up with some pretty funky hair this morning...I thought it was pretty funny. I think he is due for a hair cut!
