It's a .......

BABY!!! As most of you probably already know, I am pregnant!!! I am due October 23rd and we are thrilled about it! We will be finding out what we are having in a 3-4 weeks. I cannot wait to know what our peanut is and start shopping for them! We will be very happy with either a boy or a girl. Both would be great! We will let you all know when we know what we are having!

Bahamas!!!

I know that this post is a little bit late, but I guess better late than never!!! At the end of January Gentry and I were lucky enough to go on a free vacation to the Bahamas, courtesy of Gentry's work! We had never been there before so we were thrilled, and we surely were not disappointed. The only disappointing thing was how short our trip was! Boy, am I looking forward to warmer weather! How I love the sun!

Chubacka Theadore Cameron (Chewy)

Introducing the new addition to our small family, Chubacka (Chewy) Theadore (Teddy) Cameron. I know, you all are gasping in shock. Heidi Cameron got a dog? Believe me, I am still wondering how in the heck Gentry talked me into this one. Chewy is definetly a hand full and a new experience for me, but he is soooo cute. How can you resist that sweet face? Chewy is a Shih Tzu and is about 9 weeks old. He has a ton of fur, but his hair is very similar to human hair and does not shed a ton, making him perfect for me because I tend to have allergies to other animals. Gentry is in L-O-V-E, and Chewy is in love with Gentry. I keep joking (kind of) with Gentry that we are going to sell him, and Gentry calls me heartless! :) Hope you enjoy seeing our little puppy. He won't stay so little for long!

Karla Turns 17!

My youngest sister Karla just turned 17! Karla is such a sweetie and I am soooo happy that she is in our family. I always will remember the night that my parents brought Karla home. She had a cute little blanket up to her nose, and when I pulled the blanket down and saw her chubby little cheeks I started laughing so hard. She was our little butter ball baby. Ever since that day Karla has been a joy to our whole family - from her fruit basket hugs to her Captain Moroni prayer poses. Love ya Karla! I am glad that you had such a good birthday! :)

What Am I 15?

So last night I went and saw New Moon with Gentry, Jessica, Charity, and Karla. I think I was giggling more than them. I think I need to start acting my age because Gentry is getting really concerned.

Twilight BuNcO!

Thanks ladies for a fun Bunco night! I don't think there is a bunch as fun as us!

Kami Ann Baby Shower

Last Saturday were we able to have a fun baby shower for Kami Ann and the baby in her tummy, Scarlett Ann. We had a HUGE turn out, especially considering that it was a LAME blizzard all day! I was very impressed with everybody's dedication! Luckily Gentry's family helped out so much with about EVERYTHING and made everything run so smoothly!

I also have to brag a little bit about my husband! He decided the week of the shower he wanted to remodel our bathroom, so on Tuesday he started painting and bought the bead board. Every night he would work on it, even though he was so tired from working all day and going to school all night. Luckily, we finished it all by Friday night, just in time for the shower. It is a really bold color scheme, and I will be honest, I hated it at first! But now I really love it and I will post some pictures of it soon.

After the baby shower we went to the annual South Towne Christmas Expo. SO MUCH FUN! I love that place. Unfortunately, I came out with a little more than I had hoped for. One thing I bought that I certainly did not need was an expensive straightner. I think the sales woman saw me coming a mile away. She basically told me my hair sucked and that it was damaged, and begged me to let her fix my bangs "because they were bugging her so badly". Talk about a self esteem booster! That girl was cute but I wanted to bring her down to a human level for a minute and remind her that after all, she was just selling straightners, not saving lives. After she severely insulted me, what did I do.... I bought the straightner. I really must be stupid :) But all in all, it was really fun and I think I will enjoy the straightner for many more years to come... or else!

P.S. Thanks Mckenna for the pictures... I stole them from you!



P.S.S. I have learned in preparing for this baby shower how much I do not know about having children. I used to think that I knew quite a bit, but I do not. I went to Walmart to pick up some diapers for the diaper cake I was attempting to make. For some reason I had it in my head that there were separate diapers for boys and girls. I spent about 20 minutes on the isle looking at every package, analyzing them, and getting SO frustrated. Some of the packages had pictures of boys, some had pictures of girls, some colors were neutral for both boys and girls! I was going insane. Finally, a nice young mother walked by and I told her not to make fun of me but if she could please help. Luckily she gave me a few pointers (told me they were gender neutral) and I was on my way. I am sure she had a good laugh with her husband when she got home. Please tell me the least of my worries of having children is worrying about whether I put a "girl" or "boy" diaper on them, or I am in trouble!
