It's been nearly a Year!!

Recap of where we're at-
-Harleigh is getting ready for Kindergarten - she can't wait to ride the school bus, chew gum more often, and reminds us that in Kindergarten "there are no naps". She's got her priorities in order, so if you see a kid who looks exhausted, chewing a wadd of gum, waiting for the school bus- don't mind her hair or outfit, she's likely my child.
-Lawson is in the 2's class at school and loves his teachers. He's now 75% potty trained- kid sleeps hard so naps typically end in an outfit change. He also loves show in tell day, on those days his teachers know to ask which car he brought its his signature Show-n-tell item.
-Zak is now a National Transition Coach at Movement Mortgage, which means he helps train newby mortgage loan officers on being successful in the biz! He still originates loans.
-I'm still working for the same start up healthcare company...trying to manage 2 kiddos, a home renovation project, and the occasional date night!

Here we are (well, from 12/2014, picture downloads haven't been a top priority lately):

First time since we've been married Zak grew facial hair. He actually had a bad fall in the middle of the night which led him to not being able to shave for a few weeks.

These two are finally warming up to the big guy in red. They've put together he brings presents and therefore he's all good in their book!

Cruisin'

This is my husband...

...he's special. Very special. And has apparently never taken a selfie. 

Valentousins 2014

Who wouldn't love these cuties?! This was  an "Aunt Awesome" outing for some Valentine's Day fun! These are pictures of pictures so not as clear, but I think the cuteness still comes across. 

P.S.- thank goodness skinny jeans are 'in' for boys, Landon is rocking Harleigh's skinny jeans- as all the wardrobes were provided by Kamm closets.

Thanksgiving 2013

In my quest to catch up from the past few months, below are pictures from our visit to TN. Mimi and Bibi are always such gracious and generous hosts. As you can tell from the kids faces, they had a great time!

 

Thanksgiving tradition- decorating the Christmas tree with Mimi

Singing/Shouting Christmas songs so baby can "sleep"

Hugs for Mimi

Mimi knows how to make this guy smile= plate full of food!

Good thing my mom doesn't know how to comment on my blog. I know there would be one on the lack of brushing my kids hair. ;)

You Mustache Be Kidding Me

How cute are these blue mustache kiddos? I couldn't get Lawson to try, but  Brooks, Landon, and Harleigh had a good time!!

If you have a mustache, you "mustache" be serious

If you have a mustache, you "mustache" be funny

If you have a mustache, you "mustache" be silly

When I grow up...

Harleigh's response to this question for the past 3 months has been been, "a teacher and a mommy". Both of which I believe she'll excel at. She's is energetic, funny, playful, nurturing, loving, caring, and loves to be the boss of someone younger- even if they are bigger and stronger then her!

Happy Birthday, Brooksie Doodle!

Happy 2nd Birthday one of the best nephews, Brooks Dean! Brooks is one of the most outspoken (even at 2) and fun-loving kids I know. He cracks me up with his little personality. Brooks stands out in the Dean family with his loud, nonstop talking, his emotional ups and downs, and crazy dance moves, which means he fits in perfectly at the Kamm household! We love you Brooks and hope you enjoy your special day!!

Halloween 2013

So I've dropped the ball on the Family Blog. Sorry, mom and Ging,

 

 

Below are some pictures from Halloween. The two little Kamm pirates were pretty adorable! The kiddos went trick or treating with their cousins. Harleigh and Lawson hit the jackpot this year and got a lot of goodies. Like any parent, I did the necessary tasting inspecting of the candy- especially the butterfingers, reese's, and heath bars. You can never be too careful!

Feb 2013 Kamm Family Photoshoot

I'm always behind in blogging, printing pictures, etc. Earlier this year, we had Somer Ocana Photography come to our house and take family and kid pictures. I think she was great with the kids and did a really good job. Here's Harleigh at 2 and Lawson at 11months. Look at Lawson's baby hair, it still wasn't coming in very thick and you can see right through it. Harleigh was on a "boot" fix so of course, she had to wear her "sparkle" boots. I can't believe how much these two have growth since early February!

 

Easter 2013

Since I'm so behind, below are some pictures from this Easter! Lawson and Harleigh had a blast hunting for Easter eggs with their Bradbury-side cousins Brooks, Landon, and Isla. This was my first time hosting Easter and will likely be the last I host for awhile. After eating, everyone except two got the Norovirus. It was awful, Harleigh got so sick she had to get IV fluids which then led to a trip to Levine Children's due to a medical error on the IV fluids. With all that, the kids still had a good time and the food turned out well.
