Shon passed his final test!

Shon finally got up the guts to take his final exam. Shon graduated with his bachelor's degree and took a 170 question 4 hour test and became a Licensed Social Worker. Shon then attended graduate school and graduated and then took a 170 question 4 hour test and became a Licensed Master Social Worker. He then was supervised by a Clinical Psychologist for a year and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for a year and 3000 hours over at least 2 years and was then eligible to take another 170 question 4 hour test. This last test tested him on everything he had ever learned in social work. You can clearly see from the picture he passed. There are no more tests for social work unless he was to get his PHD. Which probably won't happen. Shon is now a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and can bill insurances and work independently on his own license. His current license is also nationally recognized. It is awesome to be done.

Late night fun

It is 12:22 am and Cameron and I are having a late night talk. I am lecturing him on the importance of "early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise". He seems to be ignoring my counsel since he is wide awake smiling at me. As all you moms know, it isn't that cute at this time of night. It has been almost 4 1/2 years since I had a newborn, and it seems I had forgotten this part, but now remember that it is hard. I hope to have his time changed around soon.
I realize I haven't posted lately. I blame that on getting used to three kids, but it also that I have nothing great to say. Life is pretty mundane, well as mundane as it can be. We are trying to keep Cameron from getting sick, so I try not to go places unless it is necessary. I'm not used to staying at home all day. You would think that I would get more things done, but that really hasn't been the case. I think that I should be able to keep my house spotless, as well as work on projects that I have put off but Have yet to accomplish either. Oh well. I know this is a really boring post, so sorry. Hopefully I will have something better tomorrow.

Cameron's Blessing

Grandma and Grandpa Shuldberg
We blessed Cameron on Sunday. It was a great day. I am always so especially thankful for the priesthood on days like these. We are so blessed as a family to have this wonderful power and a father and husband who honors and uses his priesthood.
My parents were very gracious and made their all ready long trip even longer and stayed at our house for a few extra days so we could bless this baby. Ben and Heidi came from Utah. We had a good time. I wish that all of my and Shon's family could have been here, but we know that it isn't possible. Cameron didn't cry when he was getting blessed and it was a sweet experience.

Grandma and Grandpa Hamblin

On Saturday evening, we decided to go down tho the church and play some basketball and let the boys just run around. Our church was being used so we went to Rigby to Bryan's church. It was a ball. The adults played lightning while the little boys ran around and played with a bunch of bouncy balls. We then set up a little bowling lane for the boys. Whitney was the setter-upper and each boy took a turn. They loved it. Jake just kept getting the biggest ball he could find and throwing it whenever he felt like it. The older boys got a little ticked but they all had a great time.
Shon, Bryan and Ben played 21. They all got pretty competitive.

Josh can't quite crawl yet, but he scoots everywhere. And he is pretty fast too. He just followed the other boys around and tried to get the balls. This is just a really cute picture of him. He smiles so big.

"Easter" egg hunt

Grandma wanted to have an easter egg hunt for the boys while she was here. So her and Grandpa went and got a bunch of little treats and hid them all over the family room downstairs. It was quite fun to see those boys going ofter it. Zack just really wanted to find a dinasour egg. Thank you Grandma for remembering that that was what he wanted and he actually found it before the other boys did. Even Josh got in on the action. They made quite a haul. It was fun.

Zack and Jed saw these treats at the same time. This is them crawling over Ben to get to them first. It took them about three times to get up to them.
Some of the funnest things that Grandma got for the boys were some Disney card games. Go fish, Crazy eights, and a memory game have been the ones they like and Tyler plays them a ton. The grandparents were very nice and played the games over and over with the boys. I haven't been quite as willing but we play quite a bit.

Still a lot of snow!!

We still have a ton of snow here in Southeast Idaho. Ben and Heidi were here for the weekend and so we decided to go sledding. It was actually raining when we were out there, so the conditions were not ideal at all. Ben and Shon were such great dads and spent about 1 1/2 hours out with the boys. Heidi, Josh, Cameron and I spent most of the time in the car watching the fun. They sure had fun.
At first, Jake just wanted to play on the jungle gym. He just played all by himself and was having fun while the three older boys were going up and down the hills.




Jed is Ben and Heidi's oldest boy. He was 4 on Dec. 1st. Jake was 2 on June 28th. And Josh is almost eight months. These cousins sure had fun together. They got to have a three night sleepover in Tyler and Zack's bedroom and loved every minute of it.

Our three boys

Cameron is three weeks old and looks to have grown a lot. He was 10lb 5oz at his 2 week check.
The older two think that Cameron is great. Zack has been calling him "pumpkin pie". It is reaaly cute. He raises the pitch of his voice real high And says it over and over.
Tyler likes to hold him about 50 times a day. He is very proud to be the big brother of these two. He seems so grown up to me lately. Maybe it is because Cameron is so little or maybe it is because he is reading and writing and figuring things in life out that amazes me.
