Cameron Goes to Haikou China for his MPH program

2011-10-10T12:55:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of the 4 MPH Students that went to Haikou China to do the UofU's first research project in China. The study was centered around children under the age of five adn malnutrition. The trip was AMAZING

THE TOILET's WERE NOT Amazing.

This is the view from out hotel room.

we would walk most of he time but for long distances we took these, and everytime they saw me you could tell they wanted to charge by the pound. The avg. man was 5'5 and 130 lbs so I was a giant.

It was fun to work with local clinics. They are about 10 years behind in technology and it was a read adventure to bring them up to speed and show them how things could be done faster and more efficient. We learned a lot from each other.

this was the family car and was very common

common streets in a china neighborhood.

Visit from Friends

2011-09-07T09:20:00.000-07:00

Our great friends the Benson came to visit us in April and we took the kids to Boondocks. They went mini golfing...
Race car driving

2011-09-07T09:17:00.000-07:00

What beautiful Mermaids!!

I love all of his facial expression.. I wonder if when he get older he will think he is as cool as he does now?

Pikes Place is just as cool as it is on t.v. This was one of my favorite things we did!

A must see! We went to the space needle and now I can cross that off my list of things to see in my life time. I'm glad we went up to the top but I would never pay to go up again:)

A Pricness Tea Birthday Party

2011-04-07T15:47:00.000-07:00

Kin getting ready for her party:)

Cam's brother Matt made the cake. Makinley told everyone for a week that her uncle Matt was making her princess birthday cake..

The kids made their own crowns and purses

Even baby Adam got to make a crown

They Kissed the Frog..

Makinely wanted to have her birthday party everyday:)

Makinley Turns 3!!

2011-04-07T15:37:00.000-07:00

Cam's mom Debbie got this adorable pony for Makinley for her birthday. As much as we love big huge toys in our 800 sq foot apt. I think this is a little much.. Don't get me wrong I have no problem with the pony and if I had a toy room to put it in I would love to get my daughter a 3x4 foot pony. Since Makinley's room is also my laundry room and our tv room serves as my family, living, office and toy room, I was less then excited when my father in law came to me house for the 2nd time in 3 years to drop off this wonderful birthday present for Kin:) Happy Birthday to Makinley besides that's what it is all about:)

Hell Fire Challenge

2011-04-07T13:10:00.000-07:00

Man vs Food came to Salt Lake to a challenge at Kobe Sushi

The boys thought what a fun thing to try!! This is Cam before he tried his hot sushi roll:)
You have to try 2 pieces of level 5, 6, and 6.5 before you can try the level 7 challenge..
This is the waver you have to sign before you start.. Don't worry you have to put your insurance info down and if you don't have insurance you cant do the challenge.

After Cam tried his first 2 out of 6 pieces of level 7. He did not pass the challenge and he was sick for 24 hours after. Lucky for us he didn't go to the hospital and he kept it down. Unfortunately Drew was not so lucky. He also did not make a trip to the hospital but he was up all night puking the delicious hot sushi up! Haha Cam said this was the dumbest thing he has ever done...

Ice Castle

2011-04-07T13:04:00.000-07:00

My Aunt told me about this really cool Ice Castle up in Midway, so we thought we would take the kid up to see it. Well it was closed and roped off so we went to The Homestead instead!!! They had a mini ice "tower" okay maybe just a big pile of ice? We had fun anyways and the kids didn't really know the difference:)

Terrible 2

2010-03-12T19:38:00.000-08:00

I use to hate it when people said the "Terrible Two's" honestly I didn't agree. I thought Kyler got more fun with age. HAHA Makinley who I thought was easier then Kai sure likes me to eat my words. I was blowing my hair dry to get ready for Kin's Dance class and I thought Kin was watching Dora. When I was done blow drying my hair I went to check on her and found her in my room with my bottle of aquaphor all over her from head to toe.... Oh my gosh what do I do??? I tried washing it out with shampoo, dawn dish soap, an egg and even taking a dry towel and rubbing it out. Two days later and about 15 washes it is still grease as can be. Haha so yes there is such a thing as terrible 2!!!

Cute Friends

2010-03-12T19:30:00.000-08:00

My cute friend Brianna came in from California so we got together for dinner. Oh how I miss Stac and Brew. These girls are such fun girls and some of the most beautiful girls I have ever met:) We had so much fun catching up on there fun single life's. I hope we don't wait a year 1/2 between our next get together:)

Kin's Birthady

2010-03-12T19:19:00.000-08:00

For Kin's birthday we had a party at Rob and Debbi's hotel the weekend before her birthday. On her birthday we took the kids to Discovery Gateway and then to dinner. The kids loved Discovery but I don't know if I would take them back it was so expensive and I don't think it was worth it. I would rather drive up to Ogden and go to The Tree House that place is way cooler and half the price.

Girls Night

2010-03-12T19:17:00.000-08:00

100 Day's

2010-03-12T07:18:00.001-08:00

Kylers school had a 100 days party. I went to help and it was so fun they had all kind of games and candy for the kids. I can't believe I have a 6 year old in kindergarten let alone that he has been in school for 100 days!!!

Valentines

2010-03-12T07:06:00.000-08:00

We went swimming at Rob and Debbi's for Valentine's Heather was watching Lil and her cousin for the night. As were getting ready Colby comes out in a SPEEDO! I thought for sure he would change in his swim suite before we went in the pool!!!

But NO he had to go in the pool and then the workout room. I was dying!!! I know ladies he is pretty sexy! Sorry he is married:(

Kin's Party

2010-03-10T10:40:00.000-08:00

We invited some friends over to watch the Super Bowl at our house and it was so much fun:) There was so much food I didn't know what to do but eat yum! The kids played so well together and there was not one problem with 9 kids in our small apt. At the end the cuddled up and watched Tinkerbell Lost Treasure in our room while we watch the Saints BEAT the Colts. YEAH!!! Thanks Katie and Sarah for the yummy food.

Dino Museum

2010-03-10T08:11:00.000-08:00

We took the kids to Thanksgiving Point to the Dino Museum it was so fun I love this Museum. Kyler was so sweet to his sister and he loves the Dinosaurs.
Kyler loved to play in the water and sand he didn't want to leave.
Kin hated it she is such a girl she didn't want anything to do with the wet sand. HAHA

Kin's New Carseat

2010-03-10T07:56:00.000-08:00

Makinley had Kylers old car seat which was fine except it was expired. I have been telling Cam that I wanted to get Kin a new car seat but he just didn't really see why. Then we were getting ready to go to bear lake and I took the kids to the mall and Kin throw up all over her car seat:( So I brought it in to clean it and the plastic was cracked. Cam and I decide that NOW it was time! I got on line and looked at car seat and found one that was a 3 in 1. It recline for rear facing it has the 5 point harness, and then it turns into a boaster seat!!! I found a black one that I was happy with so Cam went to Babies R Us to pick it up and came back with a pink one for Kin. She loved it. Who knew that she would have been just as happy with a car seat as anything else we got her for Christmas. She wouldn't get out of it and kept screaming MY CAR SEAT! MY CAR SEAT! it was so cute.

Long Time

2010-03-10T07:46:00.000-08:00

It has been such a long time since I have blogged last. I don't know why I just haven't felt like it lately. I think it's because I have been stressing about Cam getting into a master program and CAN'T think about anything else. We still don't know anything and our waiting to here back from: Utah, Washington, Oregon, Minnesota,and Texas. Cam called some of the schools yesterday to get more info from them. All of them said that everything looked great and that it could be till the end of April till we here anything. AHHHHHH!! This drives me crazy I don't know why it takes this long??? I have decided to move on and keep myself busy and just plan as if we are staying here. I am going to be posting all of the fun things we have been up to and try to keep doing fun things:)

Lesson Learned

2010-01-24T20:25:00.000-08:00

The other night I asked Kai to clean his room? He is in this kick where it isn't fare that he has to clean all the time!! So I told him that if he didn't want to clean his room he could go to bed. He laid in his is bed and cried and begged that he would do anything just pleas don't make me go to bed:( So I got a great idea. He could do mom's chores and I would clean his room:) So in like 5 min I was done and his room was clean.... Kai had only washed 3 dishes and had about 15 more to do and the front room to clean. ha ha Kai then realized that it would be a lot more fare if he cleaned his room and I did the dishes:) We talked about how next time he would be grateful to clean his room and that I would help him with the dishes but he would still have to clean the front room!!! Ha Ha Is it bad that I loved every second of this:) Oh and Kin loved to get in on the action she loves to be big like brother:)

Dance

2010-01-24T20:08:00.000-08:00

Oh what fun it was to take Kin to her first dance class. We did a mom and me class and at first she wasn't so sure about it. She loved to dance with me but didn't want anything to do with dancing on her own:( Then the teacher got out the scarfs and she loved it:) I am so excited to see her dance she has loved music and to dance around from the time she could stand, but like Cam said I don't know if it is more fun for her or me????

Up Date

2010-01-05T13:30:00.000-08:00

It has been so long sense the last time I have blogged. I still have a few more but I can't find pictures. We had such a wonderful holiday and loved to get together with friends and family. This year Cam and I decide to keep it simple and only go to one house at a time and only one family party. I can't tell you how nice it was and we still managed to be crazy busy. I hope to soon post the rest of our very busy very fun month of December. I hope to have an even more fun 2010:)

When I was little I don't remember the age my Grandparents came up from Texas and rented and apartment for the summer. I had my birthday party at there pool, and still to this day it was one of my best birthdays ever!!! Since Kyler has a Dec. birthday I never thought that he would get to have a swim party. This year Rob and Debbi are in a hotel with an indoor pool and Cam and I thought it would be fun to have a party at there pool. Debbi went all out and order dinner for everyone, Matt made Kai a cake and we had so much fun. Thanks Debb for everything I hope that this birthday means as much to him as my pool party meant to me:) Love you Kai and I am so proud of you.

December 15th 2009

2010-01-05T11:18:00.000-08:00

Cameron and I decide that we wanted to get sealed in the temple as a family. We talked about what day's we wanted to do and Cameron really wanted to do it on Kyler's birthday. It was such a beautiful day I can't believe how amazing the temple is:)
Because Kyler's birthday is ten before Christmas and it is finals week for Cameron I really thought it would be to hard to try and get everything together.
As stressful as it was I am so glad that Cameron would not budge we got sealed in the salt lake temple so friends and family could be there. I am so happy the way it all worked out it could not have been more perfect:)
Here is Cams family after at my wonderful sister-in-laws Ann's house who was so supportive and had a dinner for our friends and family
Some of the villagers Thanks you all for your support we love you and are so grateful to have such wonderful examples:)
I also wanted to say Thank you to my mom for making Kin's beautiful temple dress. She looked so sweet.

Christams Program

2010-01-05T10:51:00.000-08:00

Kyler has a class program for Christmas it was so cute I even cried. HaHa I know your not surprised but this day was another over whelming day during the holiday's. I was so stressed and running late as always, that when they started to sing it was so cute I just cried a little.
I got some really cute video of them singing but I didn't get Kyler's cute line that he had:(

Here is Kin and her new friend that she made during Kylers program. They were so cute the girls are the same age but they both called the other one a baby. haha So cute:)

So I thought this was so fun but if you have already done it and don't want to do it again no worries:) Post on your blog your answer so we can all get to know you better!

Please erase my answer and send me back your own answers. It was really fun

1.Favorite Food: have to be steak mmmm.... with potatoes, and salad.

2.Favorite junk food: anything with chocolate and peanut butter or chocolate covered cinnamon bears.

3.Favorite vacation: So many places that I love. It would have to be somewhere warm but right now I would say Disneyland:) can't beat the happiest place on earth!

4.Favorite Free time activity: Doing hair I know it sound lame but I can have the worst day and after I am done doing someone hair it seems like the best day ever.

5.Favorite Holiday: Halloween I just love fall and having any reason to dress up my kids is just fun!

6.Favorite Hobby: This one is hard because the only other "hobby besides hair" I enjoy is blogging haha but I don't know if cutting hair is a hobby. So blogging I guess.

7.The story of how you met your husband: I met Cam in St. George. My friends and I went down there for spring break, and his friend went to lake mead and stayed in St. George on there way home. His friend and I knew each other a little bit and his friend knew I was down there and called me so we met him and his friends a.k.a Cam and we had a blast talking that night:)

8.Favorite activity to do with each of your individual children:
Kyler, I love to talk to him he makes me laugh with almost everything he says I can't believe the things he thinks of.

My mother-in-law had a trunk or treat birthday party for Cam's Grandma this year it was so fun. The kids loved it and it was so nice to see the family it has been so long:) Happy Halloween!

What to Do

2009-10-27T11:54:00.000-07:00

The last few weeks Makinley has decided she doesn't want to be in her diaper any more! She started to take it off in the day. At night she was only taking off her diaper when she didn't have on a onsie. Now she takes off the onsie and her diaper at 2:00 in the morning.

We decide to potty train her and she has been doing really well:) On Sunday we had her in her cute new Tinkerbell underwear and she was playing with Kyler and all of the sudden she ran into the bathroom yelling potty, potty. I ran in after her put on the potty and she went pee all by her self we had a little piddle on the floor because I didn't make in time. Really thought that is way more then I expected:)

Zoo Days

2009-10-27T11:49:00.000-07:00

Last week was Kylers field trip to the Zoo. I went with his class, we walked there from his class. I was with 6 boys and two other moms. Holy crazy! It was sooo fun I loved to see Kai with all his friend at school he was such a good listener and they had so much fun.

Las Vegas

2009-10-24T13:22:00.000-07:00

Our friends Brooks and Laura got a job offer in Las Vegas, they invited us down there with them to look at close by areas to see if it is somewhere they would like to live.

This was our first vacation without our children and the first sleep over Makinley has had. I was way better then I thought I didn't sleep at all the night before but only cried a little bit when we left:)

Laura and I thought this guy was so cool we had to get our picture with him he was sprayed painted in bronze and at first we didn't know if he was real or fake.

We are at the Belagio garden which I think are so beautiful.

We had such a fun weekend and I loved the suburbs out side of Vegas I thought it was very clean and I could totally live there. Congrats Brooks for all your hard work, and thank you so much for letting us tag along on the start of your families new adventure:)

The Cabin

2009-10-04T16:05:00.001-07:00

We have been trying to make it up to Cam's family cabin for a few weeks but life seems to be way to busy for us to make it up there. This weekend with it being Conference it worked out great:) To add the leaves are so beautiful right now and the animals are still out like crazy.

This Moose was standing right out side the cabin the kids loved to see him run by.

After we got up there we went on a little walk, you can't tell me this is not pretty.

And of course all good thing must come to an end, we woke up to a huge snow storm at about 7 am so we packed up and left before we got snowed in. Ha Ha Ha
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Jamie for this beautiful place so that we can enjoy this wonderful experience with our family:)

Kyler shooting off his rocket!
One of the three bounce houses

We moved up to the U family housing last summer. When Cam and I came up to look at the apt. before we moved in I went to the car by my self and cried.I didn't want Cam to know because I was trying to be supportive and do what need to get done so Cam could finish school asap! Since we have moved up here I have learned to NEVER judge a book by its cover. All though my apt. has not been up graded since 1970 and I have no dishwasher, one bathroom that is smaller then most guess bath, and my washer and dryer are separated by a room. (the dry is also in Makinley's room) Cam and I agree that this is the funnest place we have ever lived. In the last year we have had: multiple movies,cheep lagoon tickets,really cheep raging water ticket, BBQ, and parties with bounce houses and lots of activities for kids. ALL for free with free food. Sat the U had a back to school bash when I realized that never in my life well we ever live somewhere that does so many things for us, nor will we ever meet such amazing fun giving friend like the ones we have gotten to know up here! I am so glad we have had the oppertunity to live here!

Like Father Like Son

Just Camerons shoes!
Now that Kyler has started school we have some funny conversations, the other day we were in the car and Kai ask mom what does hola mean. I say it means hello in Spanish like "hola senorita". Kai asks what does that mean? "It means hello cute girl." Kai says "but I'm not a girl!" "No Kai your a cool boy." Kyler then informs me he is only kind of a cool boy because he only has two cool shoes. I ask him how many shoes he needs? He tells me,"At least 3 white pair, 5 black pair, 1-2 more black and white pair, and maybe one brown pair of shoes." As he says all of this I start laughing and realize that he has described his dad's shoe closet and I began to see that there are things that are born with in our children without us ever pushing them on them:) Ha Ha I had no idea he was paying that close atintion!

Oh No What to Say

2009-09-16T11:55:00.000-07:00

Today I woke up Kyler and got him in the shower to get ready for school. As he is getting undressed and still half asleep he turns to me and says "So mom how are you and Dad?" I tell him good and ask him what he means? He says "well I know you want dad's money?" I just reply oh yeah. Kai then says "Well you know mom you can always get a job!" I tell Kyler that I have a job I take care of him and if I didn't stay home with him he would have to go to day care and be with a stranger all day. He then replies with well I don't think it is fare that you stay home with us and dad has to go to work and you get all the money. I just tell him that life isn't always fare. Luckly Cam agrees that life isn't always fare. (For Me)

Second Day of School

2009-09-09T10:50:00.000-07:00

Kyler started school on Sept.1, he loved it so much! He was so big and to my surprise so was I. I had a little freak out the night before. I cried like a baby, but when the big day came I was just happy for him:) The next day was another story! Because we live so far away from the elementary they have a bus that takes the kids to school. I knew it wouldn't be long before Kai wanted to ride it since the first day he asked if he could. After the first day Kai said he was going to ride the bus the next day with all his friends, but that night when we were getting ready for bed he asked if I would take him. I was so glad and said I would take him as long as he wanted me to. When Cam got home he was talking to Kai about the bus and Kai told Cam that I was taking him. Cam who thought he was helping his son grow up told Kai that HE was riding the bus to school. Kyler who wants to be just like dad said he wanted to ride the bus too:( The next morning Kai checked with Dad that he was still riding the bus to school, so then Kai was too. I walked Kai to the bus stop gave him a hug.(we can't give mom a kiss in front of people) Walked inside called my sister Chelsea and cried for like 15min:) Kyler loves the bus and I am so happy that he never saw my break down:)

First Day of School

Friday was the U's Raging Waters day. It was so much fun! My kids loved every second of it. We had so much fun with or friends and family there. I am so glad my mom came with me so I could bring Makinley, she loves the water and got to go on some tub rides too.(wish I could have got a pic of her.) Thanks everyone for coming it was a blast. Thank you so much mom, for coming, I never could have done it without you:)

Star Light

2009-08-21T21:03:00.000-07:00

Last week the U had a star gazing night so we had Ambree come sleep over:) We had so much fun. The U had smores that the kids only ate two bits of. We played uno, and right as we were getting to leave someone brought his telescope up and the kids got to see Jupiter and four of Jupiters moon. They loved it some much they didn't want to go home, but at 11:00 I decided we were done.

6 Years

2009-08-12T09:34:00.000-07:00

Sunday was Cam's and my anniversary. We have been married for 6 wonderful years. I am a slacker wife and didn't get him any thing. Don't worry he made sure he was taken care of. He got himself NCAA and played it all weekend while I was with the girls up in Eden. (I"ll post pic soon) I can't be mad because as always Cam surprised me, with a new beautiful wedding ring. Thanks Cam for the amazing last 6 years and can't wait for all the great things to come:) Love you more than I ever thought possible.

For Dave & Morgan

2009-08-02T18:32:00.000-07:00

A few years ago my good friend Morgan and her husband Dave came over to our house for a BBQ and brought some chicken kabobs to grill. Cam and I feel in love, and have been trying to add new veggies to the kabobs ever since. This weekend we BBQ with some of are great neighbors. It was our turn to bring the meat. Cam was craving teriyaki chicken so we got creative and thought it would be fun to do kabobs out of them, and add some pineapple and peppers. It was so good! Cam and I thought of Dave and Morgan the whole time and had to take a picture for them:) You guy's have to try them. Miss you, can't wait to see your soon to be baby boy, even if we only get to see a pic.

Pioneer Day

2009-07-25T09:46:00.000-07:00

Now that we live up @ the U we talk to a lot of Friends who are from out of state. As the the 24th started to get close our Friends were making fun of the fact that Utah makes a bigger deal about Pioneer Day then the 4th of July. A friend and I think we are so smart tell them that it is the day we became a state that is why we make such a big deal about it and we just recognize the pioneer for coming here. (That is why we call it the day's of 47) Well one of my friends who grow up in Wyoming (and did not take Utah history growing up) challenges me. So I google it. I found out the the 24th is a day that the pioneers came into the Vally in 1847 and that we became a state in Jan. 1896, or something. Ha ha I guess next time I have a history class I will pay more attention to the teacher and less time to my friend:) So for Pioneer Day we thought we would remember there long trek and make one of our own to Lava Hot Spring, Idaho. Here is some of our fun pic. I have never been before but will be going back soon, it was so much fun.

Sleep walking

2009-07-22T08:51:00.000-07:00

Last night Kyler walked out of his room around 11:30ish. As he was walking to the bathroom Cam said that Kai was so cute he just wanted to hold him. Kyler heard his dad and turned with his pants to his knees. Cam told him to go to the bathroom first and come back and Cam would hold him. He turns the corner and we hear him pee(it doesn't sound like normal) We ask Kai if he is peeing in the potty and he answers "yes!" When he starts to walk out of the hall toward us he gets close to the wall and walks around something. I ask him if he had an accident in the hall a little. He said he did, so I went to clean it up too see a HUGE puddle of pee. I got so mad I put him in his room and took away a new toy he got the day before. The next morning Kyler came into my room and stared to play with his toy. I reminded him that he lost is toy and he could not remember a thing. I kinda felt bad when he had no idea.

Lagoon

2009-07-22T07:35:00.000-07:00

Kyler and I went to Lagoon and had so much FUN. We went on every ride he was tall enough for and stayed there until 11:00 that night. I even got him on the white roller coaster. He is only 42 inches tall and you have to be 46, but we got on. I haven't laughed so hard in my life his face was priceless I wish I could have taken a picture of him:)

Happy Fourth

Water Day

2009-07-22T07:24:00.000-07:00

At the village we had a sprinkler day and the a big slip in slide. It was so much fun here is Kyler going down. I don't have Kin and I because my camera died but it was so much fun:)

So Proud

2009-06-21T10:00:00.000-07:00

Kyler learned how to ride a bike with out training wheels all by him self. We went to my friend Nicole's house and Parker knows how to ride his bike. Kyler got determined to learn how so he kept trying and figured it out in a few min. Good job Kai I am so proud of you.

St. George

2009-06-21T09:52:00.000-07:00

Thanks Jensen's for a great weekend in George. It was so nice to get away a relax. As you can till we didn't do much, but that is fine with me. The kids had so much fun swimming. Kyler even dared to swim with out his floaties

Trouble

2009-06-21T09:21:00.000-07:00

Makinley loves to climb into things. Last Sunday I was getting ready for church and I heard Kin crying I went in her room, where I could hear her and looked all around. I could not see her any where so I looked through the rest of the house, but I swear I could hear her in her room. I go back in there to find her stuck in the dryer. The door was cracked and she couldn't get out. I think I am in trouble!

What Fun

2009-06-08T13:46:00.000-07:00

Kyler loves to get into Makinley's crib with her and bring all of her toys I thought this was so cute I had to take a picture.

All Done

2009-05-08T12:15:00.001-07:00

On April 5th Makinley woke up with a high fever. She had the fever for two days so I took her into the Dr. He couldn't find anything and said she has a virus. 10 day later she started to get a runny nose and a croupy cough. I took her back into the Dr. and she said she was in the gray area for a steroid. I chose not to do a steroid and the cough started to go away. 5 day later she got another fever so I took her back into the Dr, this time seeing my pediatrician, he found a ear infection and sent her to get a chest x-ray and some blood work done. They came back negative. 10 day later the last day she would have taken her antibiotics she woke up covered in a rash. I again took her to the Dr. they said she is allergic to antibiotic and she still has an ear infection. They gave her two shoots to get rid of the ear infection and now 5 WEEKS later she seem to be doing better. No fever in a few days and the rash is almost gone.

Summer Fun Already

2009-04-28T10:08:00.000-07:00

Last week our friend Quinton brought the pool out. The weather was so nice it was 8o and the kids loved to play in the pool. Here are some of our friends that we have met up at the U, can't wait for summer. Thank Quinton for all the fun.

Look who started Baseball

2009-04-27T10:18:00.000-07:00

This is Kyler's second year at T-ball and again he likes the first round but the second time of the out field and letting everyone hit the ball gets a little boring to him. His first game he turned to me and said "Mom can I just quit baseball."
Sad for him I he is going to have to play it out.

Funny Pictures

2009-04-16T08:03:00.000-07:00

Kyler loves this new show called Kamen Rider Dragon Night. This is his sweet Dragon Night Kick.
One night Makinley was trying so hard to get her swim bottoms on her head. When I put them on it was to tight and squashed her face I laughed so hard I had to take a picture. The funny thing was that she loved it on her head and cried every time Cam took it off.
