Kam: 5 Months Old

I just want to take a minute to describe my baby. Kamdon is such a sweetheart and a huge blessing in our home. I am so grateful for him. Even though he is growing too fast, he still melts my heart multiple times a day. Here are some adorable pics and some recent milestones. He stays pretty busy, as you can see.

XC Camp, Frisco Peak, and 1st Day of School

I love my little runner, Kinley. She did my dad's XC camp again this August. On the last day of camp, she ran a mile in 9:51, and she's only SEVEN! The coolest thing is that she loves it!



A couple of Sundays this month we have been able to ride with "The Tribe" to different places. One of my faves was to the top of Frisco Peak. It is so beautiful, and a little scary, up there.

This Fall is so different. It's the first one since kindergarten that I haven't been preparing to teach or attend school. It's bittersweet. I'm so grateful I get to stay home with 3 little ones who aren't in school, but I do miss teaching a little. I'm also blown away by the fact that Kinley is in 2nd grade; she has Mrs. Wiseman, who also taught me. Plus, Jeep has his hands full with all he does for the high school. I am really proud of him, too. I'm not gonna lie, tho. After I took these pictures of them, I went back to sleep for an hour - because I COULD. :)

Dear Grandpa:

I wish I could express my full gratitude for having you in my life. Many of my memories throughout childhood, adolescence, and adulthood have you lovingly in them. You read me stories, helped me write letters, gave me pointers on homework, and gave me Priesthood blessings. You were ALWAYS there for me, and I want you to know that you are my hero. I love you so much and am grateful I am related to you. You are such a Christ-like person and someone I strive to be like each and every day. I'm sorry that you have to suffer and be separated Grandma for so long... but still to this day, you inspire me. Throughout the years you have given me countless hugs, useful advice, an incredible example to follow, and above all else-LOVE. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

Love, Nisha (The oldest daughter of your youngest daughter)
