Our little girl is growing up!


(This photo was taken when she was about 2 1/2 months old)

Our little sweet Kamri is growing up...she is now rolling over on her own. From her back to her tummy. She grabs her feet and gets into a ball and then she rolls over...it is so cute. She will soon be sitting on her own and crawling and then walking. Before you know it she will be 16 yrs old like Anycia and driving a car. I'll be 43 and Andrew will be 55, craziness! Seems so far away but it's just around the corner. Time flies when your havin' fun!

The last of the 5 babies on my side of the family is due on March 7th. Kamri will be growing up with 4 girl cousins all born within 10 months of each other. Amy's little girl Lauryn was born the end of May 2007, Lisa's little girl Halle in August 2007, Kamri in Septemeber 2007, Erin's little girl Ella in November 2007, and now Mari's little girl Aliya in March 2008.

Also on Andrew's side of the family we have Chris and Val's little girl Liv born in April 2007 and Matt and Chelsea's twins Donavon and Anna born in December 2007. So she has tons of cousins her own age. I think it's great. She'll have so much fun with them all.

Back to Work Full Time :(

Today is a very sad day for me...When I had Kamri in September I had 8 weeks maternity leave and then I was ever so priviledged to only work 3 days a week for 3 months. Well my 3 months are up and I have to come back full time. I dropped off little Doodle (Kamri)at Daycare this morning and was just so sad that I didn't get to stay home with her and see her happy little face light up whenever you're around her. I also got to stay home half day with little Poo (Jadyn)too because she only went to Kindergarten half day. I will miss being with them, but on the plus side thinking about the money from working full time is good thing too. I will just have to be tough.

Biggest Winner (Loser)

My Thacker siblings, spouses, and mom are trying the do the Biggest Winner (Loser). It started in January and will end in April. I am not doing so hot. I need to step it up a notch and kick my butt into gear.
I also have to get ready to run a 5k in April and a Triathlon in May. The 5k is with most of my family. We are going to go to St. George and run the Run-4-Kids races. There is a 10k, 5k, and 1k that most of us are participating in...even the little kids. I am excited and I am hoping this will keep me going. This will be my first race that I will be competing in. I am usually the cheerleader for Andrew, but this time I will be running too. He is doing the 10k with AJ and Anycia is doing the 5k. The little ones(Kade and Jadyn) will be doing the 1k. I will be pushing Kamri in the jog stroller during the 5k.
I will post pictures of us after the races.

From Eating Cereal for First time to Getting Driver's License

In the past 24 hours, some crazy stuff has happened. First, last night Superbaby (Kamri) had her first attempt eating rice cereal. She loved it. In typical Superbaby fashion she tried to hold the spoon and feed herself. Wish I had taken a picture of the rice cereal dribbling down her chin and how her eyes popped up at the idea of eating food from a little bowl.

At the other end of the spectrum, today I took Anycia to get her driver's license. She is now official to drive. I've known this time was coming, but it is just a weird feeling. It makes me that much older!

Superbaby turns 5 months old

Kamri, today is your birthday. Kind of. 5 months ago you surprised us, and came a little early. Your light, strawberry blond hair has yet to flourish, but it is just a matter of time. You are starting to giggle, and your favorite new thing to do is squeal. Maybe you were a little pig once before? It is really cute. Crawling is still months away, but you insist on trying to walk and stand right now. Another thing you like to do is put anything within reach into your mouth. Sometimes you get frustrated when things don't quite fit in there.



You definitely have your favorites. Your face really lights up when sisters Anycia and Jadyn hold you or try and play with you. You are not very fussy, unless we aren't holding you or entertaining you. :)





Your Mom and I always are looking forward to getting home to you, and seeing what new things you will do next.

Love Daddy

Icebreaker Soccer Tournament - St. George

(AJ taking free kick during semi-final game.)


For President's Weekend Holiday Holly, Superbaby and I went to St. George to enjoy a little sunshine, celebrate our 2 year anniversary and to see big brother AJ play soccer. (Anycia went too, she rode with her Grandma)


AJ plays for U13 Dixie Rebels. His team happened to lose both games I watched. Maybe I am bad luck? AJ also stayed with us and went to the Mesquite Recreation Center with us on sunday evening. We played a couple pick-up futbol games with some of the locals. It was pretty fun, and great to spend some time with AJ. (We missed Anycia, but glad that she could spend time with her mom)

Here are more pics.

Yergensen Family Named Cutest Family in Utah 2007!

Most of you have already probably know this. I mean geez, just look at us... but I will tell you about it anyway. The other day we received notice that it was announced that we are the cutest family in Utah. I knew it was going to be close... with all those other great looking families out there. (You know not all of them do that funky polygamous hairstyle thingy.) This is definitely not something I totally created just to be funny. Kamri gets two pics because she is doubly cute.

Now if only she'd clean her room!
