Today is Kamryn's 4th Birthday! I can't believe it has been 4 years already. Kamryn has such a fun personality, she is very imaginative and is such a blessing to our family. This year we went to her favorite restaurant: Souplantation! Then we had a small party at the park and ate some cupcakes. We love you Kamryn!
She surprised us all by coming a week early without any warning, but we are so glad she is here. Introducing Macy Waldram, born Wednesday April 8 at 9:09 am. She weighed 7 lbs 3 oz and was 21 inches. Everything happened so fast, a very different delivery than Kamryn. Kamryn loves her little sister, and we are a happy little family of four now.

Last weekend we went to Paso Robles to visit some old friends. Jake and Kristin were our first "couple" friends when we were newlyweds living in Paso. We have so many good memories with them. Jake and Kristin just had their third baby and they invited us up for the blessing. We stayed with our friends Aaron and Sarah. Jeremy has been friends with Aaron since high school. Lots of good memories there too! It is just coincidental that they live in the same town and are friends with the same friends as us. It had been way too long since we had seen either of them. It was so great to see everyone. The kids had a great time playing together, and we had a yummy dinner. We need to get together more often. Also, here I am 35 weeks pregnant! We have a lot of catching up to do since it has been so long since I've posted anything. This year for my work Christmas party we had a pizza party at my boss' house. We wore chef hats and made our own personal pizzas. Then the kids were able to make homemade ice cream. It was a lot of fun!
We had a little Christmas of our own here before we headed up to Nana and Papa's house for Christmas. Kamryn's princess box is now overflowing with dresses and accessories to wear. Kamryn was so excited that Santa ate the cookies and drank the milk we left for him. My parents still had snow at their house and it snowed on Christmas day, so Jeremy and Kamryn went sledding. It was a little icy, so they got going pretty fast!
For New Year's we went to Mammoth with my parents. We decided to put Kamryn on skis for the first time and put her in ski lessons. It didn't work out as I had expected. All she wanted to do was eat the snow! Either that or wander away from the rest of the class. Jeremy and I were secretly watching her and we were laughing! She seemed so bored. They only had the kids put on one ski, and that was only for a little while. Then they had the kids go up this escalator type thing that took them up the tiny hill. On the way down they played red-light, green-light. She was starting to get into it, and then they went inside for a snack. After that, she wouldn't go back out to finish the lessons. So my parents took her up the poma and skiied down the hill with her between their legs. She loved it! She kept saying "Papa go faster!" I'm glad she at least has a good memory of skiing. We'll have to try again maybe next year or the year after. We enjoyed all of the vacation time.
We found out officially today that once Jeremy graduates, we will be headed to SAN DIEGO! We are really excited to be able to stay in California for a little longer at least. Now we can actually start looking for places to live. We are excited for this new adventure.
