~Wonderful Role Models~

This month has been FULL of graduations! Two brothers graduated, one from high school, one from college, and one cousin from high school. Our schedules have been so busy! I'll start with my older brother, Nick. He graduated from University of Utah on the 14th with his Doctorate, or to be more descriptive, his Doctorate in Law!!! I've always told my mom it wasn't fair that the majority of the brains hit the first kid so by the time it was my turn I got the little bit that was left over. This is Nick's third college he has attended. He graduated from Weber State in Utah, then Seton Hall in New Jersey, and finally he returned home to Utah to attend the University of Utah! WOW! Talk about dedication! We are all so proud of him and can't wait to see all that he will accomplish now. Here is Nick with our very proud parents.Here are all of the kids. Brady, Alex, Natalie, Nick, Kat, and me. It was so fun to be able to have everyone there for him.This is my Grandma Burke, Nick, and his wife Tati. In June Nick and Tati are moving to Virginia. We will miss them so much!!!



~High School Grad~


Alex graduated from Fremont High on the 24th. He has grown into such an amazing person! I literally and figuratively look up to this kid! He has held a position as a school officer since he was in 7th grade and he has been on the high school soccer team since he was a freshman. The whole time he was able to make the high honor roll every year. We are all so very proud of him too! Life is just starting for him and I know he'll accomplish so many more things.
This is Alex and me at graduation. I am wearing 5 inch heels and he is still so much taller than me! Take a good look at his hair cuz in a couple weeks I get to cut it off for his mission pictures!!

This is Brady, Alex and me. I still call them my little brothers even though they are both far from it! I forgot to hand my camera to someone to get family pics. Sorry. I was so upset when I realized I had forgotten.


~State Championship~


Both of my little brothers are/were on the high school soccer team. They had an AMAZING season!!! I was so glad that I was able to catch a couple of their games when I would visit. Alex plays offense and Brady is on defense. They are both such awesome players! I could watch them play for hours. It's my favorite thing to do! Well, their high school team made it to State and they played at the Rio Tinto Stadium in Salt Lake! Brock and I were able to make it down just in time to see them play. They played their hearts out and did an amazing job! Davis was able to only score one goal (even then, it was a very lucky shot!) I'm so proud that they were able to take 2nd in State! That is a huge accomplishment!!! It was very bittersweet though. This was the last game that Alex and Brady get to play together. At least it was a State Game though!This was my favorite pic I got of them! I LOVE it!! Brady is #28 and Alex is #26.

I am so grateful that I have so many amazing men in my life that my son will be able to look up to and hopefully try to be like! My husband, my dad, my father-in-law, all my brothers and all my brother-in-laws are amazing men! Thanks guys for giving my little man such amazing role models!!!

*It's A.....*

Today was my target ultrasound! It was amazing! My mom and little sister Natalie were able to come up from Utah to come to my appointment, along with my grandma, my cousin and of course my husband came! We found out that we will be having a BOY!!! We are so excited and can't wait to have him here now! My due date is thankfully staying the same, he measured right on. Everything else looked really good and he looks healthy. Please feel free to give us any ideas for boy names, we have none picked out and are kinda struggling with it. :)

*Huge Blog Slacker!!!*

I know I've been almost non existent to many people and especially to my blog lately! I am really sorry but I do promise that there is a really good reason for it. Brock and I found out back on December 28th that we will be welcoming our first little baby in September!!!!! YES! I am pregnant! My due date is September 6th! We are so very excited and can not wait to become parents! I've never been so happy to be sick ALL THE TIME! I think the hardest thing to do was to not tell our parents. This will be the first grandbaby on both sides. We decided to tell my mom and dad by getting a plaque that we found that said " Our Greatest Blessings call us Grandma and Grandpa." We then put my first ultra sound pic on it and wrapped it. When we had a family get together we decided to give it to them. My sister, Kat, was nice enough to pretend to be looking at my pictures on my camera but she was really vidoe tapping the whole thing! It's really funny! My grandma Craft is sitting behind her when she opens it and it takes a little while for the shock to wear off before they all realize what's going on. But when they do, the tears started flowing for sure!

I will try and keep everyone posted on things that happen. I am now almost 14 weeks! So only about 6 more weeks and we will find out whether we get a boy or a girl! Feel free to make predictions for me. :)

*Open House* Being held in Utah


**New Fragrances WITHOUT HOT WAX**

If you like Scentsy but are sick of cleaning up hot wax then come & check out these new waxless, heatless, and flameless units from Cierra Ashley. These new units add to your home decoration without looking like a typical fragrance unit. The units use essential oils, wicks & a fan to dispurse fragrance. They are also great because they have eliminated the 3 major complaints: heat, wax, & a flame. You no longer have to mess with the hot wax & because we do not use heat, the unit never gets hot!! So you can leave it on all day & never worry about your kids burning themselves on hot wax or a hot unit!! Your house begins to smell wonderful from the moment you turn it on. There is no more waiting for the wax to melt. You also have the power to control how strong or how mild you want the scent to be.


Come see these wonderful fragrance units & learn more about the benefits of owning one at an open house being held on Wednesday February 10th from 6pm-9pm. I will be holding it at my mother's house in Hooper. Special offers will be given at the open house so be sure to come so you can get an even better deal!! If you need an address or directions pleast feel free to email me at camiecraft@gmail.com or my sister Kathleen at kat@fragranceforhome.com If you would like to see more availiable units colors please check out http://www.fragranceforhome.com/


HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!!

**Warning!!!** Picture and Info Overload!!

Sorry about the overload! I have been a slacker and have been very busy. But here is what has been happening in our lives right now. Hope you enjoy!
~Bentley Jo~
My cousin Whitney finally had her baby! She is beautiful! Bentley Jo was 6lbs 13oz, and was 21 inches long. She was born Monday and I was so grateful to be able to be there to see her after she was born. It is so amazing to see this little miracle come into such a wonderful family who loves her and is so excited to finally have her here!
Here she is! These are her two older sisters, Chassi is on the left and Kamber is on the right. I love these four girls so much and am so excited for Whitney and Phil!

Chassi couldn't stop smiling! She loves both her little sisters so much and is such a good big sister! Thank you Whit for letting me be a part of such an amazing event! Love you!



~Christmas Tree Time~

This is my favorite part of Christmas! I love putting up our tree and having it lit up at night!

Here is Brock putting the star on top. This is why I married such a tall man! I can barely reach the top of the tree.

This is me putting on the last ornament.



~Girls Night Out~


When we were in Utah for Thanksgiving I was able to have a girls night with Heather and Alicia. It was so much fun! We went and ate at Iggy's in Ogden. It was really good. Thanks for such a fun night girls! Love you both!

~Meet Little Missy~

Here is our new addition to the family! She is also a Mini Schnauzer. We decided to finally get a new little puppy because our other dog, Mia, has been pretty depressed since she lost her friend Sassy, and she is always down when we leave my mom's and take her away from her other friends. She will hopefully be the same color as Mia when she grows up. I forgot how tiring a new puppy can be!! She has so much energy!!

Here she is trying to play with Mia. She is so small she can barely reach the top of the chair!This is me and my girls! Missy is actually chewing on my earring here!! She grabbed on right before the picture was taken!This is my handsome hubby and his girls! Poor guy is now surrounded by girls. He is so sweet to let me get another puppy! Thank you babe!!! Even though she is my Christmas and my Birthday present...I love her!

~JaCkSoN HoLe~


This weekend we were able to meet some of our family in Jackson Hole for the day on Saturday. It was so much fun! This is Brock, me & Mia at Jennie Lake. It sprinkled just a little while we were there. But when we were driving back it started pouring! We saw lightning hit by the road right in front of us! I love the sound of thunder so it was really fun to me.
Here is my hubby and Mia at Jennie Lake.

This is Gramma and Grandpa Haglund. They are so much fun! I love when we are able to see them! I wasn't able to get a picture of Brock's parents but they were with us also. We now plan on trying to visit Jackson some more since we live so close. We'll see how that pans out.
