Conners comes to visit!

Danny came once again to Atlanta for his yearly volleyball tournament. He coaches a girls fifteens team, and while doing that he also recruits for the UCLA woman's team. He is a busy man, but he always makes time to see the Mounties when he is in town. We love it when he comes, especially Dylan who keeps asking, "is Danny going to come back and sleep in my house?" We had fun, we miss you Dan!
We took the kids to Jumpin Joeys and I think we as adults had more fun than the kids. Don't think we didn't race each other on the obstacle course. I of course beat Dan, Cameron beat me which makes Dan the loser! Sorry buddy, next time you are just gonna have to jump over the kid to make it to the finish line. You gotta do whatcha gotta do!

"New Mommy"

My amazing husband gave me a spa package as a gift for carrying and giving birth to our beautiful baby girl, Sydney. Today, after almost a year, I finally put it to good use. I showed up to a super charming southern mansion spa only to receive royal treatment in the form of massage, facial, manicure, pedicure, and a haircut. It was wonderful, and such a perfect way to recuperate and restore my balance after these last few months. To top it off, when Cam came home he even brought me flowers...what a guy! He makes it so hard for me to love him huh? When I came home Dylan ran to me saying, "my new mommy is home". When he saw me he seemed a little unsure of it all, it was cute. Sydney too was confused as she stared at me for about 4 minutes straight making sure the voice matched the face. I love it! The hair will definitely take time getting used to, but I was excited to cut it and donate it to Locks of Love. Cancer has affected some important people in my life, and in doing this I was grateful to be able to help in some way.

Saturday Morning Family Fun!

The weather went from 50 degrees to 75 over night and we took out the slip and slide once again. This time Daddy was home to play, and we all had a blast. I forgot how much it hurts to do this (especially on your tummy), but I guess that is the price you pay to have fun with your little one.

Willowbrooke Opening

Cameron and I had fun dressing up to go to the opening of the new Psych hospital in town (the first psych hospital to open in GA in over 20 years). It was a wonderful event in which they honored the employees for their dedication to the people. Now that Cameron is somewhat in management it was neat to see how important he was to the company. I will admit that it was awkward and uncomfortable meeting tons of random people, but it was great to see and hear about the work that Cameron does, and the great things that people have to say about him. He is so good at what he does and I am so proud of his accomplishments. I see a little bit of mommy resemblance in this photo. I wasn't sure if it was because of the curls in my hair, or just the color, but for the first time ever, I can see that she really is MY daughter.

A Day at the Lake

Our bishop and friends Scott and Traci Henrichson's invited the entire Mount family out to their lake house this last week. We had a blast as usual. Sydney loves the movement of the boat. She is happy as a clam while it is moving, but the second that it stops the fussiness begins and it is time to pass her around. That girl NEVER stops moving. The boys all went out first (and of course took zero pictures), and them the girls and Dylan went out. Here are pics of the fun!

Mommy and the kids! Notice that Heidi and Maddie are in the tube next to us. Heidi hadn't planned on getting in the water so she did not bring her swim suit. However, Heidi decided to go in and did great job not getting wet at all during the 20 minutes she was in the tube. Of course, in the end as she was getting out of the tube she fell right in. She spent the remainder of the day in wet jeans, but never complained. What a trooper, and what a mom! Dylan and Maddie.CC watching the kiddos get dragged behind the boat. Syd is actually smiling for once.









G-mama and Coco take Dylan for a ride on Big Bertha. Dylan was trying to get (warmy) while riding with G-mama.







I loved watching Sydney on the boat with the wind in her hair. She was so happy and content.

Logans Baptism


Logan turned 8 on Wednesday, and do you know what that means? Baptism! He was so excited all week, and looked so handsome in his new suit. Logan had asked Cameron (through a note since he was too embarrassed to ask) to speak at his baptism. Cameron did great, especially when he mentioned to Logan which rock stars have been baptized, how cute is that? Logan in such a ROCK STAR!
All of the kids sang at the baptism, even Dylan. It was very cute and special for Logan.Aww, look at our little Mount Family. It is quite impossible to get a picture of all of us, especially when all four are looking. This is the best we could get. Ugh!After the baptism everyone went to Ali's for pizza and cake.Sydney loves her G-papa
I love this picture of Coco and CC all snuggled close. Syd loves her auntie Coco, and can't wait to see her again soon!

Congratulations Logan! We love you and are so proud of you!

A day at the soccer field

This last week Auntie Coco came to visit during her spring break. Here we are at Maddie Mounts soccer game. Maddie scored 2 of the 4 goals, and they won! Way to go Maddie!














Coco met Casey Mount for the first time. Isn't he a cutie? He is only three months old.G-mama loving up on Syd. She is actually sitting still for once. Mama and CC. Look at those pig tails, love them!
Dylan couldn't decide if he wanted to sit next to his family, or off by the boys playing soccer across the field. He kept dragging his spiderman chair everywhere, it was funny watching him keep setting it up and taking it down after about 2 minutes.
