Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! On Christmas Eve we played in the snow and went sledding (in our front yard). You will notice that we have no sled so we improvised and used a snow shovel. Nice!


Then we went to Grandma Debbie's house to have our Christmas Eve party. My mom was taking care of Grandma Evans that night and we were so glad that she was there with us. We ate dinner and then had a talent show. Revin's talent is dancing like a mad man in his diaper, he refused to have pants on!


Then we went home and went to bed. When we woke up Santa had definitely come to our house and brought Revin a new bike and lots of other toys! He was pretty thrilled! I was also thrilled because Dan got me a Nikon D40 camera! Yay! You will notice how much nicer the pictures are.



After we opened our gifts Grandma and Grandpa Camp came over to visit then we headed to Parowan to See Grandma and Grandpa Johnson. We got to talk to Adam who is in Tijuana and it was so great to hear from him! He is doing really well, we missed him this Christmas! That night we went to the Grandma and Grandpa Camp's house for Christmas dinner.

Snowy Days!







It has been snowing and snowing in Cedar City! Dan has had to go in at 4 in the morining to plow at the college for several days. When he gets home, lucky him, he shovels more snow off of our driveway. Revin had a great time helping him! Revin is pretty amazed at the snow, this is the first time he has really noticed it.

Christmas Party




Last weekend we went to the annual Richfield Christmas party for Dan's side of the family. It is all of the Aunts and Uncles and cousins meeting together. This year they had a big blow up slide and a big jumping house. Revin was totally entertained! He had to go down the slide like a million times with Dan's niece Kiysa. We ate dinner, played bunko and did a little gift exchange. It was fun to see everyone.

Go Jazz!

Dan and I went to a Jazz game this Friday up in Salt Lake. We had a really fun time. We stayed in the Radisson Hotel which was really nice and super close to everything.
We planned to go to Olive Garden, but the wait was an hour so we ate at the Blue Iguana and had this little Mexican couple sing to us, I would recommend that place to anyone it was way good and way inexpensive.
(Really bad picture but oh well)
Then we went to the Jazz game where we had great seats. The Jazz did awesome and won by around 30 points! Aren't we so fun that we wore our matching Jazz jerseys? I know, we are awesome! This is the Jazz Bear doing a handstand on a ladder, you cant see it real well because I forgot my camera (of course) and had to use my phone. We left Revin with Ben and Amy, they were so nice to tend for us.

Thankful List

*I am thankful for Dan. I am thankful that he found me and that he didn't give up when no one liked him, even I gave up a few times, but he never did. I really do think that opposites attract because there is no one more opposite than us. No one can make me as mad, make me as happy, make me laugh as hard, or understand me more than Dan!


*I am thankful for Revin. I love being his mom. I am so thankful to see his bright happy face in the morning, he brings such a warm spirit into our home. I am thankful for the little things he teaches me everyday like when he refuses to go to bed without us saying our little family prayers. He is what my life revolves around, I love him so much!


*I am thankful for my Parents and for my Big Family. My parents taught me so well, and I am so thankful for the way that they raised me. I love spending time with them and with all of my brothers and sisters. I have so much fun with all of them. I couldn't ask for a better family!



*I am thankful for my Huge Family that consists of Grandparents, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins and all. I love how close our family is, even though we might live apart. I am so thankful for the person that my Grandpa Evans was and that I am able to be his Grand Daughter. I am thankful for my Grandma Evans and for the sweet person that she is and has always been, I could go to her for anything.
*I am thankful for my home and car and all of the things that I have. I am thankful for the hardest working guy I know (Dan) that provides all of it. I am thankful for the opportunity that I have to stay home with Revin and watch him grow and learn, and be there for him when he needs me.
*I am thankful to live where I live. I am thankful that I am an American and that I have all of the freedoms that I have. I am thankful to live in Cedar City which is the next best place to Parowan.
*I am thankful for the gospel and that it helps me to know what the real important things are in life. I am thankful that families are forever and that Dan and I were able to be sealed in the temple for time and all eternity.

I Love This Time Of Year!

I love it when the time changes and it gets dark early and Dan is home for dinner, and we get to be a true little family. It is so awesome! I think I just get all excited because Thanksgiving is coming up and then Christmas. I love everything about them; the smells, the food, the family, the feeling. It is so fun to have a little guy to shop for! I am so excited to go shopping with my sisters this weekend at the Panguitch craft fair, and on black friday. It just makes me happy, am I a dork? Anyways, what got me thinking about all of this is that I found this picture of Revin last year dressed up as a shepard. Every year the kids in my family do a nativity, so I came up with this costume for Rev last year. It just makes me laugh at how fat he was! I just want to go back to that day and squeeze him because he is so cute!

Happy Halloween!

Trick or Treat!


So everyone always says that Revin looks like either my Dad or Jake, so I decided for Halloween that he could be a ups man. The only thing that I could think of that went along with a ups man was packages, so Dan and I were the packages. It was a pretty big hit. Revin made the cutest ups man ever! The costume was so huge that it will probably fit him for a couple more years. We went trick or treating to Dan's parents house and got a picture with all of his nieces and nephews, then we went to Grandma Debbie's and got some yummy cinnamon rolls and popcorn balls, then we went to Grandma Evans' house and entertained her with Revin's dancing, then we went to Aunt Paulines and finally to Dave and Heather's house! Revin was such a good sport and kept his ups hat on the whole day! He was so worn out that we both slept in until 9:00 this morning. I love mornings like that!

Working With Dad




On Saturday Dan and I went to my parent's house to dig trenches for their sprinkler system in their back yard. Dan dug them out with BobCat and Revin thought that it was pretty awesome. He thought it was even better when he got to take a ride in it. On Monday Revin just suddenly learned a new thing. Right when he got up in the morning he went into our room and said plain as day "Where is daddy." He says it over and over and I have to say he went bye he's at work then he usually will keep asking until I finally call Dan on the phone and he can talk to him. Isn't it funny how they suddenly just pick up on things? He learns so many new litte phrases everyday.

Deer Hunt

On Monday evening of the hunt, Dan and Greg both got three point bucks! They shot them within thirty seconds of each other on the mountain before Little Creek. Go Dan! Bring on the Jerky!
p.s. Dan is on the right.

Memories

Grandpa Evans

My Grandpa Art Passed away on Wednesday October 15th . It was unexpected and I was shocked when I heard the news, I think that I just thought that he would live forever. He was 91 years old. I really loved my Granpa and thought that I had the funniest, greatest Grandpa in the world. He always made me laugh because he thought that he was so cute and clever and got such a kick out of himself. He was always calling people prince or princ"ass". When he would see me he would usually say "whats a crampin you?" He had a never ending list of words that he like to switch up like "boot reer", "bat rasstard", and he used to call me the "hong laired" girl. Usually the second he arrived somewhere he would say "well i'm goin".

Grandpa really liked my Dan because he appreciated a hard worker, and Dan definitely is that. After Dan and I got married his new saying when he would see me was "Where is Dan the Man?" He would call Revin little Dan, and even thought he didn't have a lot of strength because of his age, he would still always pick up Revin and sit him on his lap.

Grandpa was so supportive of everything that I or anyone in my family ever did. He made it to every blessing, baptism, sealing, everything. He was to every Rammette Review, Dance Review, or Clogging Review that I was ever in.

Grandpa was like a legend in Parowan because so many people knew him and loved him. He wasn't afraid to say what he was thinking even though sometimes he shouldn't have. I think that it was his goal to meet everyone in the world. I'll miss his crude jokes and sense of humor, but I will also miss hearing his awesome prayers and him sharing his testimony. He has been so good to my Grandma Evans while she struggles with her memory loss. He fixed her meals, tucked her in, and always had her by his side. He loved my Grandma so so much! I am grateful that he was able to have such a long, healthy, happy life. I will miss him so so much!

Goodbye to Adam



Adam was set-apart as a missionary on Tuesday and then afterwards we had a little get together at my parent's house to say goodbye. I didn't realize how emotional I was going to be. It is a comfort to know that he is going to the right place and doing the right thing at the right time. I think he will do just great. Revin loves Adam and always lays his head on his shoulder, so I am going to make sure he remembers him while he is gone. It is crazy because he is almost going to be 4 when Adam gets back!

What was I thinking?




So on Saturday Dan & I were going to Walmart to get us some new blinds and there was this lady there selling the cutest little pug puppy. For some reason I just had to have one and I just knew that Revin needed one. I was really in love with it for the first day and then when we woke up on Sunday morning and it pooped and peed on my carpet I was finished! I even had Dan try to call tradio this morning, but he couldn't get through. I wish Dan would have just told me no, but he was trying to be nice and get me something that I would enjoy. The puppy is so cute, but for right now he is going to have to live in the garage. Revin loves him and laughs and runs and wrestles with him so that is something positive. I have been a little scared to give him a name incase we sell him to someone, but we decided to name hime Boozer like the Utah Jazz player.

Flash Back To The Days Of Admo


This Sunday was Adam's Farewell. He did such a great job speaking in church, and I think he will make an excellent missionary. He is very excited and nervous all at the same time. It kind of makes me want to cry to think that the little Adam I always used to pick on growing up is now way bigger than me and leaving for two years. Adam has always had the best little personality, he is such a people person and can make friends with anyone. That is why he will make a good missionary. I have so many funny memories of him when he was little, like when he would sing "We shall be three" instead of free and when he would have to stop at every possible restroom on a trip because he must have had the smallest bladder in the world, and my freshman year of college when he was so excited because he was almost as tall as me, and we weighed the exact same. Anyways... I found these pictures from a trip that my mom, dad, Stacia, Adam & I went on to Tijuana Mexico. That is where Adam is going on his mission. Good luck Adam!

(I needed serious help with my hair-do in these pictures.)

Our Anniversary

I am so mad at myself because I forgot to take my camera over to Parowan to the parade and to the little carnival after. I was watching Revin on one of the rides and telling Dan how sad I felt because we had no camera and a girl overheard me, so she got my email address and took a few pictures of Revin on different rides. Anyway I haven't seen them in my email yet, so I'll post them when they come. Then I did another dumb thing because Dan and I went to Vegas this weekend for our 4 year anniversary and again I forgot my camera. So here are some things that we did:




We want to KA at the MGM Grand it was awesome the stage was moving all over and people were flipping and falling and doing all sorts of crazy stuff.




We stayed at South Point Hotel, which was perfect because it is right in the middle of Stacia's house and the Las Vegas Strip. It was really nice and had nice big rooms.


Dan's favorite part was that we visited the Bass Pro Shop and he got a $100 shopping spree.

Stacia was so nice and tended Revin over night on Thursday and then we went swimming and had dinner with a couple of their friends at their house. It was fun to just talk and hang out. We ended up staying at their house that night. What I was really sad about is when I couldn't take pictures of Brentlee and Revin at the Bass Pro Shops. They have this huge fish tank and there was a mermaid inside. Revin was so amazed he just starred at her and she blew kisses to him. He and Brentlee just sat infront of the fish tank for almost a half hour.

New Castle

On Saturday Dan, Revin and I spent the morning at New Castle. I decided to be a good sport and go fishing with Dan because he loves it so much. I had to back the truck and trailer down to the boat dock and drive the boat back in. Dan has to admit that he was pretty impressed with my abilities. Anyways, we had a fun time! The boat ran great and I had a fun time driving it around the lake. Dan caught a couple of fish and Revin enjoyed eating his fruit snacks, so everyone had a good time! I actually wouldn't mind doing that again!

Husband Tag



I usually don't do Gushy stuff like this, but here it goes:
What is his name: Daniel Camp (but for sure only Dan to me)
How long have we been married: 4 Years on September 4th. We got married exactly a year from our first date.
Who said I love you first: For sure Dan. I was a little hesitant to say something that big. When I finally did say it, the next day I told him we couldn't see each other for a month.
Who is taller: Dan is.
Who sings better: Dan. I just like to pretend that I am Taylor Swift. He and Greg used to sing to me and my roomates in our living room. Funny!
Who is smarter: It depends on what the subject is.
Who pays the bills: That would be me, I am a good budget keeper bill payer lady.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed: Me for sure, I always have. Its funny because I even have to have the right side at motels.
Who mows the lawn: Again that would be me. Dan isn't home until dark, but I don't mind doing it because it makes our house look cuter.
Who cooks dinner: For sure me. I think Dan's mom spoiled him a little, he would not know how to boil water. Although, he does make french toast every once in a while.
Who drives: Dan. Even If I pick him up somewhere I slip into the passenger seat because I hate driving when he is in the car. He is too nervous.
Who's more stubborn: It depends on the situation, we both have our moments.
Who kissed who first: Ha ha! Dan tried first and I quickly turned my head because hello I didn't know how to kiss. I didn't have very good practice. Then I told him later that he could kiss me. I know, I'm such a dork.
Who asked who out: Dan called me out of the blue one day and asked me to the Clay Walker concert. He said he saw me in one of his sister's clogging pictures and dug up the info on me.
Who proposed: Dan did. He had already asked my parents which was the scariest part, then he took me to the Manti Pageant and asked me on the temple grounds! I cried and then laughed hard because the ring he got me was like a 71/2 haha!
His Best Feature: I have always loved Dan's eyes. On our first date I was so impressed that a boy could have such dark eybrows and eyelashes without puting makeup on them.
Who has more siblings: I do because I have six, but he is a triplet so he beats me there.
Who wears the pants in the family: Well just like the guy should, Dan does. But, I like to think of it as we each have one leg into the same pants, because we decide things together.
What do we like doing together: I love going on dates with Dan wether it is bowling or dinner or the movies it doesn't matter. I think we both just like hanging out with each other. We love playing with Revin and enjoying him at every cute little stage that he is in. Dan and I are also pretty obssessed with the Utah Jazz. We went to a couple of games last year in our Jazz jerseys.
*Now I tag Alisha and Kami

Family Pictures









We have had a busy week! Adam went through the temple on August 12th, he is so excited to go on his Mission and he thought the temple was awesome. I am so glad that Dan and I were able to share the experience with him. Then on Saturday we went to St George again because my cousin Evan got married. He married such a cute girl, I'm so happy for them! So while we were in St George on Saturday we decided to go get new family pictures and some pictures of Revin. I was so thrilled because Revin is usually so serious for pictures, but he did so good!

The Mohawk

I am so excited because Revin finally has enough hair that I can do a Mohawk! It is awesome! He pretty much sports it everywhere now so that people can see that he does have a few strands of blonde hair growing on that head. Dan thinks it is pretty cool too, so it could stick around for a while!

Woohoo For Hair
