Portland & Camryn's Birthday

We were so lucky to have Ryan's parents plan a trip to Portland with the whole family a few months before we had Reagan. And it couldn't have come at a better time. We had such a great time-the baby did awesome the whole trip. Camryn on the other hand was a different story! She is usually a dream so when she isn't, Ryan and I have no patience. Bad combination when staying in a hotel and with family almost all day and you want you child on their best behavior. It was hard to want to spoil such a stinker for her birthday. But here are all the times were she could at least put a smile on her face.

Grandma Brenda showed Camryn a great way to travel in airports-at the mercy of Grandpa's arms. He's a good papa.

 Obsessed with holding Grandma's umbrella even though it wasn't rainy. So grateful Uncle Cody got her very own for her birthday.

 Headed out on the town for shopping and fun with Aunt Lindsey-can tell how excited Camryn is to have her picture taken.

Aunt Lindsey's hair skills. Wish she were around to do my hair everyday.

 

I wanted to make her day extra special and so we decided on getting her make-up done. One of her new favorite things. Yes...she is only turning 3.

After a long day out and many tantrums later we went back to the hotel to rest the remainder of the day. Which was nice to get cozy with the weather so cool outside.

"The Brothers" at the game. Cody has never known how to smile in pictures so he figured a cougar growl would be the most normal.

Meanwhile the boys came back from the Oregon State/BYU game. Fun to have all the brothers together. Camryn loves her Uncles and it is so fun to have them pay so much attention to her. Also, Cassidy and Whitney came up for the night to help celebrate. 

You would think with that big breath she would have gotten all the candles but not even close.

When she opened these Barbie outfits, her response was, "OH.my.goodnes!" In the funniest voice-she really is such a girl. 

Camryn got clip-on earrings for her birthday. These guys decided to play, "Who would make the prettiest Smart girl".  It's easy to see that none of them have what it takes, but they told Ryan he could get into a lesbian club and no one would bat an eye. Cody on the other hand looks like his Grandma.

We were also able to get a family picture together which doesn't happen too often on such a beautiful day. I think it turned out pretty well-Thanks David and Vanessa for helping us out!

Cute cousins

As I mentioned before David and Vanessa allowed us to get a picture altogether so we had to get one with them too. Ryan and I were so happy to finally meet Penelope-who is exactly one month older then Reagan. She is so sweet and we just love getting to visit with the Wilkes.  It was a great trip and we were so glad to get to be with the whole family and visit with some great friends. Just hoping this stage doesn't last too long for Camryn! If you haven't visited Portland it is a must, such a cool city with great food but still a small city feel.
