What a Stud!

MOM....I'm a BIG BOY NOW, I need a BIG BOY fourwheeler!

2009-01-06T20:56:00.000-08:00

For Christmas Santa brought Carter a Mini SpiderMan fourwheeler BUT........ He was almost too BIG for it already!
So we took it back & got him a "BIG BOY" one......is my little man really growing up this fast?

He loves having a big boy one & it goes pretty fast! (up to 8mph) WOW!

First thing he wants to do when he wakes up...is ride the fourwheeler,after breakfast...ride the fourwheeler, he hates taking a nap now because that's 2hrs without riding his fourwheerler etc!! He's CRAZED!

He is such a boy, he loves ALL sports, loves playing outside, getting dirty, trucks, dirtbikes & ATV's!

Everyday,almost everyminute, even when he has to go to timeout,this kid puts a smile on my face! =) I wouldn't trade anything in the world not to be a mom!

Ginger Bread House

2008-12-21T21:54:00.000-08:00

I went to my parents house for Family Home Evening & to make Gingerbread houses. (Kam had to work). Tyler is on Winter Break so his good Friend Jamaal came over to spend the night. My dad, Jamaal & Tyler read the Christmas Story in Luke 2 from the Bible and sang Christmas songs. We had a Blast, & the boys learned a lot!

Jamaal, Taeya, Tyler

"Doing Good!"

My front door melted! =(

Carter kept eating the decorations!
The finale!
The Earthquake! (I thought Vegas didn't have these!?!?)
TOROS #1 (Toros is the name of Tyler & Jamaals travel team for baseball & basketball, Coached by my dad)Gma Dana & the Boys!

After a long night of building the house, the boys settled down to watch the Christmas story, & enjoy popcorn!

2008-12-13T12:37:00.000-08:00

For our work Christmas party we went to Steak house 46 and our Doctors suprised us with Ipod Shuffles to hint to us where else we were going....We all knew it had to do with music but we still didn't know untill I opened my Ipod and listened to it and sure enough Dr.Griffiths downloaded most of all the Donny & Marie Music. (I didn't know who it was i was thinking...Mama Mia or something) but my mother inlaw (Donny's biggest fan) knew it was them.

Here is a GREAT clip of Donny doing some old school Hiphop....

Go Donny, Go Donny!

I loved the show! It was alot of fun!

** I'm so lucky to have such great doctors to work for! They are so much fun and nice! I'm very thankful!

(I forgot to take pictures of dinner etc..opps!)

Logan's out!

2008-12-09T13:23:00.000-08:00

Logan's out of surgery! It went well! I'm so proud of my sister Celeste for staying strong through everything! (Too see more of Logan's Journey click here http://logansnewworld.blogspot.com )

Logan get's his 2nd ear today!

2008-12-09T10:12:00.000-08:00

Last week my Sister and her husband and kids went to Build-A Bear to let Logan build a "surgery buddy" for the big day today. He chose a green alligator and dressed him in a Batman shirt. He named him, Batman-Gator! They also purchased a set of scrubs for the Gator to help in preparation for Gator to "go to the doctor and get a second ear. My sister is so good with,With ALL her kids!

Here's Logan:

"Practicing prepping Gator for surgery by taking his blood pressure, listening to his heart and taking his temperature. The Gator would put on the oxygen mask and take a nap. We would then wrap his head in a bandage and when he woke up he would receive some juice and a small surprise. Celeste has been practicing all week in hopes that Logan will be as calm and prepared as he was last year. Bringing the Gator to life...Giving him his first bath...All dressed up...In his "doctor clothes"...Prepping him for surgery...
Practicing wearing the mask,taking a nap and wrapping his head with a bandage on...

Here he is sleeping before his big day! Such a tough guy! So Cute!

Watches and Learns....

2008-12-02T02:12:00.000-08:00

We took Carter out of the cart so Aunt "D" could try this shirt on him to see if it fit.... a few seconds letter while we were looking at a few other shirts,we found this......

I will admit...Danielle and I do spend a little too much time at Fashion Q! I think my child is learning really early to try on clothes before you buy them...but will someone please get this kid a dressing room!

Thanksgiving '08

Boyack Family

Fun Tradition

2008-11-25T22:21:00.000-08:00

Kameron's family has a tradition of always cutting down their own Christmas trees. I love this tradition, it's always family fun!!!Cold but Fun! *Those of you that are all about the Going Green~I am too! Cutting your own tree is not all that bad, it's actually 1000x better then the chemicals that go into making a fake tree that enter the planet then cutting down a tree. So instead of SAVE a tree...it's PLANT a tree. Which is another tradition we are starting every year! =)

2008-11-23T22:15:00.000-08:00

My comments are in purple writting my friends are in black. I copied and paste everything she had on her blog and posted it on mine...so here you go!

So Ive always known about "Secret Menus." especially at my two favorite places...... In-n-Out and Jamba Juice! (what? i didn't know that either) I never knew about all these until recently!

In-n-Outs Secret... not so secret menu
a 2×4 is a burger with two beef patties and four slices of cheese. You can also order a “3×3" a “4×2″ or any other meat/cheese combo your little heart desires. But 4 patties is the most they are supposed to do.
then there is "Animal Style"... its mustard-cooked beef patty, additional pickles, extra secret sauce with grilled onions. (i love this one...yum~)
ps...the secret sauce is mayo relish and catchup whipped together.
"The Flying Dutchman"... 2 beef patties, 2 slices of cheese. That’s it. No lettuce. No onions. No bun. No nuthin’. This is like the Atkins Diet burger
"Grilled cheeese"... defiantly a kid pleaser.....its a cheese burger without the burger...lettuce tomato and all!
"Protein Style” Burger.....any burger you want with no bun but wrapped in lettuce.
"Veggi Burger"or "Wish Burger"....Hamburger with no burger and double tomatoes.
"Whole grilled onion"... they just stick the slice on the grill for a bit.
you can also say things like "Toast"...it tells them to cook ur bun longer
....and Light Or Well fries! they will brown them longer or shorter for ya!
also the only adds pickles to a burger WHEN U ASK! when they say Everything it doesnt include pickles.
"Animal Style Fries"...this is so good. its French fries with secret sauce, grilled chopped onions and cheese on top.Wow (Kameron can't wait to try this....a little too strong for though i think)
and then there is the milk shake craze...
"root beer float"......they make it with vanilla milk shake and root beer, they even give you a spoon (how nice!) (i'll try that next time)
i have heard they will make you a float with any soda if you just ask!
THEY WILL ALSO MIX HALF AND HALF SHAKES LIKE STRAWBERRY AND VANILLA OR CHOCOLATE AND STRAWBERRY OR EVEN ALL THREE...FOR THE SAME COST! SWEET!
-well, that's all that i know of. And most employees know these simple ones. i have heard rumors of others but you don't wanna order and the cashier look at you like you are crazy.... so you are safe with this menu!

Happy Anniversary

2008-11-20T16:53:00.000-08:00

We've been married for 4yrs today!!!!!! I love you babe! Time is Flying! =)
(all post more when i have time)

Dear Daddy,

2008-11-14T22:52:00.001-08:00

Mom made me do this! I didn't enjoy it at all, yes I am smiling in the picture but that because mom threatened me with timeout! I think mom needs a girl...!(remember last years cheerleading outfit? -Post 10/07)

Love your manly son,
Carter

The Mail Man Delivers!

2008-11-14T22:04:00.000-08:00

A patient of mine was giving away puppy Labradors. I just knew I had to get one! My parents have a beagle name Stockton (after John Stockton, the NBA basketball for the Jazz). Kameron and I not being able to keep the puppy, I have always told my parents that Stockton needed a friend. So we surprised them with leaving Malone (that's what we named him since he is black, get it?) at their door. My mom wasn't very happy with me but my dad and little brother were soooooo excited! Isn't he Cute?!?!? Kameron and I didn't want to give him up just after 5 minutes with him.We feel in love... But we knew my little brother would take care of him!

Stockton and Malone getting to know eachother! They will be the bestest friends! =)

Mom & Dad.....
Your Welcome!

Happy 20th Birthday Steve (Nov.13th)

Halloween 08'

2008-11-02T13:58:00.000-08:00

~Trick or Treat~

Halloween was alot of fun this year for Carter! He understood the Knocking on the door and getting candy for saying "Trick or Treat!" And he loved dressing up! He thought it was so funny to be a Lion! But I was disappointed in all the houses that had their lights off, nobody was really in the Spirit in Desert Shores! =( But the kids didn't know any better. Kam and I just discussed how when we were kids ,we would fill up our whole pillow cases! Kameron also didn't get off work in time for us to make it to our ward trunk or treat, wish I was bummed about because we heard it was such a hit!

A little UPSET trick or treating is Over!

We had a small family party for Carter's 2nd birthday. We had alot of fun. & Carter LOVED the games but did not love the actual chucky cheese as much. He was a little scared. The gifts were perfect & both Papa's got him a baseball glove. (Great minds think alike) & the big blow up pictures of Steve & Celeste's Family has turned into an inside joke, so don't mind the silly pictures! =) Sorry there are so many!

Even though Steve (kam's brother) couldn't really be there (he's on his mission), we knew his heart was!

Join The FUN! =)

2008-07-12T22:31:00.000-07:00

I Saw this on someones blog, so I thought I would participate! So play along with us!

Here is a totally different game of tag.
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together or Kameron. It doesn't matter if you knew us a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Does any one else agree?

2008-07-10T19:10:00.001-07:00

I HAVE BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED WITH "So You Think You Can Dance" THIS SEASON!

Our Happy 4th of July

2008-07-05T19:09:00.000-07:00

The morning of the 4th My parents took us to breakfast and to see the movie "Kung Fu Panda" Such a cute movie. We loved it! Thanks mom & dad!

Later that evening we went to a park in Summerlin that was close to the Red Rock hotel to watch the Fireworks shoot off. On our way there we stop at Cafe Rio! (yummy)

Not once or twice did the sprinklers come on but 3 times!!!! and that 3rd time we tried moving out of the way so fast I spilled my Cafe Rio salad!

=( I only had two bites of it too! I was so bummed!

BUT the water didn't stop us from having fun. Kameron & Carter played a little soccer & then we watched the fire works!!!

We took this picture ourselves like 3 times and carter wasn't looking in any of them!

Carter & Dad watching the fireworks!

Carter squeezing me very tight & saying "CHEESE!!!"

Carter took this picture! LOL

After we left the park we went home & did our own Fireworks!

After seeing Dad with the Sparklers,Carter got a little scared & wanted to go inside

Carter wanted Dad to hold him while he watched the firworks!

So I ended up lighting alot of the fireworks! It was fun though!

Congratulations Jake!

My brother in-law just graduated today from Dental school at UCLA! But for the Cragun family school is not over yet, they are headed to Florida where Jake will continue two more years of school to specialize in endodontists!

and lets not forget my Big Sis who has stuck through it all! What an amazing person she is!

Not only her husband gone all the time & studying 24/7. They had to deal with raising a 5 year old, deaf child and the last baby in the hospital for a few months! This family deserves the best. and the best will soon be here...look how fast dental school went!!!!!! =)

LOVE YOU GUYS

FAMILY DAY

2008-05-25T22:06:00.001-07:00

Kam's sister & her fiance Eric came in town from Texas to celebrate Grandpa Nelson's 80th Bday & take their engagement pictures. While they were here we went to the temple because that's where they are going to get married and Eric has never seen the L.V. Temple before (it's only his 2nd time in Las Vegas) It was a good day! We really missed Steve though!

~MIDNIGHT MOVIE~

2008-05-18T19:07:00.001-07:00

Well we never did get to go to the magic show! =( Kameron's summer schedule is pretty busy & he works late.
Friday night he came home around 11pm and insisted on taking me out, it's been awhile since we went on a date. I wanted to go to bed & I was already in my PJ's & told Kam that I didn't want to get dressed so instead of giving into me and staying home he went and put on his Pajama pants & said let's go! We went to the midnight movie & saw "What happens in Vegas" BEST MOVIE EVER!!!! okay maybe not ever but it's up there. so funny & cute! We laughed the whole time. We had such a fun time (& we were comfy!) & didn't get home till 3am! PARTY ANIMALS~

Here's another movie we are excited to see!

(Kameron looks a little tired,huh?)

STOOD UP!

2008-05-14T21:02:00.000-07:00

Well it's about 9:15pm & My DATE (husband) was supposed to pick me up around 8pm to go see a magic show on the strip that started at 9pm!!! So I figured I'll just watch American Idol all by my self & Grub! (*he did call by the way, but wasn't able to get off work in time.....=( He's lucky the tickets don't expire until tomorrow night!!! HOPEFULLY we'll go then!

A little shorter then I planned!

2008-05-10T20:08:00.001-07:00

Carter was in need of a haircut but I didn't feel like taking him down to great clips this time. I was just in the mood to do it my self & Last time I tried cutting Kameron's hair it didn't go very well. I don't know how to do the blending thing!!!!

(YES, I look pregnant in this picture, NO I am not pregnant thank you...just chubby)

didn't know my eyes would closed until it was to late to take another picture

AND the final picture..........

(see it's a little bit shorter then I wanted it but he's still a STUD)

2008-03-26T19:24:00.001-07:00

I've posted a few times about my nephew Logan who is deaf, a few months ago he received a Cochlear Implant. I stole this picture off my sister's blog because if you look closely at his T-shirt you will see why I titled this post...That's just wrong! =) LOL

My sister and her husband have been through alot with there two younger kids but Have always been so positive & obviously have kept a sense of humor about the things they are going through!

I love you Craguns & miss you a ton!

Can't wait to see you soon!!!

****The poem below is perfect for people that have had to deal with sickness or disablities in their lifes**** I love this poem!

Worth Reading

2008-03-26T10:00:00.000-07:00

"The Beauty of Holland"
I was given this today in the parent class of Logan's school. I loved it and had to share..."I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability-- to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It's like this..." _Celeste Cragun (My sister)

"When you're going to have a baby, it's like planning a fabulous trip--to Italy!
You buy a bunch of guidebooks and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum. The Michelango David. The gondolas in Venice. You even learn some handy phrases in italian. It's all very exciting.

After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The flight attendant comes in and says, 'Welcome to Holland.' 'Holland?!?', you say. 'What do you mean Holland? I signed up for Italy. I'm supposed to be in Italy. All my life I've dreamed of going to Italy.'"But there has been a change in the flight plan. They've landed in Holland and there you must stay. The important thing is that they haven't taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place full of pestilence, famine and disease. It's just a different place."So you must go out and buy new guide books and learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you never would have met. It's just a different place. It's slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you've been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills. Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.

But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy, and they're all talking about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life you will say, 'Yes, that's where I was supposed to go. That's what I had planned.'"But if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn't go to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things about Holland" --Emily Perl Kingsley

HAPPY EASTER!

Congratulations Sarah & Eric!!! Welcome to the family ERIC!!!!!!!!! =)

ALL about me TAG

2008-02-28T22:00:00.000-08:00

*10 years ago: (1998).... I was only 13, attending Kenny C. Guinn. Getting grounded almost every weekend for just being a little too outspoken to my parents (sorry mom & dad). Dating/Crushing on Ernie Domanico. My best friend was Aubrie, we would have parties all the time at her house & once one got so crazy I had to fight a boy (& YES I beat him up) because he was being so disrespectful to Aubrie & her house. & the best part about that was the next Monday at school he Bragged about getting his butt kicked by me! =) (u know who you are! LOL)

<-1998 2007->

*5 things that were on my to do list today (My day off...well I ended up getting asked if I would go into work because one girl was sick) 1. Try to get out of bed before Noon!(which i didn't,went into work at 1pm ) 2. Wash my car (didn't accomplish because I went into work & slept 'till 12pm) . 3.Start another diet (lol) & workout ( ummm nope, didn't accomplish either). Go to my moms( again,went to work instead,slept 'till noon) 5. Go to the Cimarron basketball game (Varsity team against the Faculty) Don't get hurt DAD & Danielle!!!! (**yes,I went,It was really Fun!!!!)

*Snacks I enjoy....BROWNIES (a little too much), Strawberries, Dry Apples,Grapes

*What would I do if I were suddenly a billionaire... Funny that this question has come about because I was talking to my sister Celeste the other day about her family moving back here to Las Vegas after her husband graduates from Specializing in Dental school. They really want to move back here but they are a little worried about the Deaf programs for their son, Logan. The deaf community here isn't very good. Anyways, I ask her almost everyday..."Now, your coming back to Vegas to open Jake's practice,right??? & she said YES pretty for sure because they want to open a Deaf Clinic School here in Las Vegas,(like the one Logan is attending right now in california) & hopefully have raised enough funds to make it FREE. So I would donate whatever it take to help them open a clinic that is important to them and will help other people. NEXT, I Would buy a Cabin & Beach house for all of of family to use & get to together on Holidays & weekends.Buy a lot of fun toys and I'm likely to blow alot of the money because I love to shop for anything & everything for me and everyone!!!

That's my nephew Logan feeling the vibration on the speaker to know the music is playing!

(he so cute!)

*3 of my bad habits....1. REALITY T.V. 2. Junk food 3. Picking at my face.

*5 places I have lived..(How about 3 places). 1. Las Vegas, Nevada 2. Cedar City, Utah 3.Las Vegas again

*5 jobs that I have had....1. Orthodontic assistant (current) 2. Dance Teacher 3. Receptionist 4.Babysitter 5. The best job ever...Being a MOM & WIFE!!!!

*5 things people don't know about me...1. I love to read. 2. In 6th grade I tried to do a home kit perm and fried most of my hair off!!! 3. I would love to learn how to play the guitar. 4. I'm really shy when it comes to all attention on me things like: Dancing by myself, Giving a talk or lesson in front of people etc! 5. I can't watch scary movies anymore because I have nightmares!??

CARTER!!!!!!!

2008-02-27T23:59:00.000-08:00

Kameron and I were eating some Farm Basket (one of my favs) and I happened to leave my ranch were carter could get to it! opps!

MY BIRTHDAY FUN !

2008-02-26T19:22:00.000-08:00

~*~For my Birthday the girls from work and I went out dancing at Zowie Bowie in the Red Rock (again). That lounge is just so much fun & Free!

so why not?!?! I love to dance! The band didn't go on until 11:30 pm so we were all getting pretty tired so we danced for a good hour -n -1/2 and went home around 12:30am.I didn't take any pictures of us dancing, because I didn't really feel like carrying my camera while I was getting my groove on! =)

THANKS AGAIN FOR MY FRIENDS THAT CAME OUT WITH ME TO MAKE MY BIRTHDAY A FUN NIGHT!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS!! (if any of you have other pictures send them to me)

PARK DAY! (there are alot of pics,it's too hard to choose from)

2008-02-22T16:00:00.000-08:00

I went to Nursery!!!!!!

2008-02-17T22:28:00.000-08:00

(Hiding his nursery craft)

Carter Started Nursery today at Church. It was bitter/sweet for me. I really missed him (& we had to pay more attention in Sunday school cus he wasn't there to distract us. LOL) He was so ready!!!!! He didn't even look back at us when we dropped him off, no kiss or nothin! On to the toys!

Kameron picked him up without me after priesthood (which wasn't fair) and they were in the hall waiting and Carter had the biggest smile on his face holding his first "Craft". I was so proud. But It made me realize how many more crafts we'll be getting from church, school, etc. and reminding me how fast he is growing up!

(* I tryed to take a pic. of the craft he made after church but we was being so silly & wouldn't show it to the camera, so here are the ones I took anyway.*) That kid just melts my heart!

Our Relationship TAG!!!!

2008-02-17T19:36:00.001-08:00

Relationship Tag:

*What is his full name? Kameron Gene Patrick Francom

*How long have we been married? 3 yrs & something (look up above)

*How long did we date? almost 4 yrs. (since High School)

*Who said I love you first? He did. & only after 4 wks of dating,I waited 6 months to say it back!
*Sings better? Neither really.

*Who is smarter? Kameron is smarter.

*Who pays the bills? ME!!! but I'm making him start. Too much stress (i used to not stress until now, Money is hard lately)

*Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do now but for 2 1/2 yrs He did. We changed spots because Kam hates our mattress now.

*Who mows the lawn? Lawn? What Lawn? It's hard to find a yard in vegas now (but in Cedar City he did, & shoveled snow).

*Who cooks dinner? I usually do most of the time, every know & then he will. & He BBQs.

*Who drives? Kameron....he hates my driving. & I love to drive ,But I think I'm a good driver (just ignore the traffic ticket in my purse tag LOL)

*Who’s more stubborn? We are both pretty good about giving into eachothers wants but Kameron is more stubborn then me by far! (if we had to pick)

*Who kissed who first? Kameron kissed me the night we meet, I pulled away & said "you don't even know me very well yet!", then he tryed again & I kissed him back because I had the biggest crush on him & wasn't sure if I would get the chance again to kiss him.

*Who asked who out? Well kind of me because I was hanging out w/ a good friend of his and told him to bring some friends like Kameron etc. for my girl friends but that was just so I could get to know Kameron better. We got together that night, & been together since. His friend wasn't too happy at first. (opps).

*Who proposed? Kameron. In Rome, Italy (Lucky me!)
*Who has more siblings? I do by one little bonus brother.

*Who wears the pants in the family? We share the pants. But sometimes Kameron doesn't always fit into my size! LOL =)

~I take Kameron for granted, He is such a good Husband & Father. We are definitely seeing that marriage is getting harder and something you need to remember to work at! Getting married so young, then pregnant didn't give us time to think about what we want in life. (which Kameron is starting to really figure out now job wise,finally) But we do know that we want eachother in our lives!!
