We had a great Christmas! I was a little annoyed that I had to stay a extra week (Dec. 17-21) to watch Illianna while Steven tested and interviewed for Ogden City but it was nice.
The day finally arrived and I woke up every two hours. I will blame the baby instead of Christmas excitement. Finally at 9am I told Steven I wasn't sleeping anymore and that Illianna need to get up now. So he went down stairs to play Joy to the World (his family tradition) and I rubbed Illi's back till she groaned at me to go away. I told her Santa came. And she just looked at me and in her little voice said, "oh sa-sa" and got up. She then ran down stairs with grandma waiting and we had to direct her into living room.
I am mostly gonna write what everyone got so I remember. I am so eternally grateful for everything my family received.
We set up her baby doll in the stroller and she happily pushed it around. We then opened up Harlow gifts. We gave my mom a children's nativity set so Illianna, Gracie, Dutch and Oliver and who ever else joins the group can play with it without getting in trouble.
Steven got a shutter fly book of just him and Illianna that I made. He got four blu-rays that he bought on black Friday. I also got him the Lord of the Ring book and a lego police department set. My dad got him Ohio State: napkins, tissue box, notebook, shirt, pom-pom and poster.
Illianna got spoiled from her loving grandparents, and aunts, thank you everyone!!! She got tangled bowl and cup, tangled shirt and pants and a Minnie Mouse toy smoothy maker from pa-pa.
She got bath paints, coloring book, bingo game, chutes and ladders from my parents.
We got her a lion king puzzle, duplo set, pixar book and the baby and stroller.
Loving aunts got her PJ's that she wears and her baby doll can wear, candy land, peanut butter, a necklace,
I got a mixing bowl set, boots, snake heels, deep fryer and of course we got so many wonderful things for Oliver. I am just so grateful for everyone who has so my family such kindness.
Merry Christmas!

The firsts of Thanksgiving
This years Thanksgiving was GREAT! A nice stress free day. :) The day started out with Steven, Mom and Kim running the fleet feet 5k. Note that this was Steven's very first race. (other than 1 1/2 mile runs testing for departments)
Steven ran it in 26 minutes which put him in tenth place in his age group. (25-29)
After he finished he went back and finished the race with Kim who did it 32 minutes.
Then he once again ran back to finish up with my mom. He was so excited I could hardly keep track of him.
After the race Mom, Kim and I went to my parents house to make Thanksgiving dinner. It was so fun! I learned how to clean and stuff a turkey. Mom taught us how to make Grandma Bowers' stuffing. I learned to make gravy. It was just so nice to be cooking food and not worrying about anything else. Behold the fruit of our labors. :)

Once we were done eating Steven left for the store to try his hand at his first black Friday shopping. I joined him two hours later. But still in time for everything. We got EVERYTHING we wanted! (which was mostly for my parents) It was a lot of fun. Steven had fun which is important, hopefully he will go again next year.

retard kiss
Last night Steven was getting his Jazz uniform set out for him to play basket ball in the morning. He is looking for the top among all three baskets of clean clothes and asks me if I know where it is. I tell him i know I washed the top but I didn't see the bottoms.
S- You had to have washed the bottoms I just wore them so I know they were dirty.
C- No I really didn't see them.
After dumping all three baskets he is worried.
S- I need them for ball tomorrow.
C- I really don't know where they are. Check the folded clothes if they are in that pile.
So we go into our room and as Steven bends down to open our bottom dresser drawer he stops.
S- Wow! Wow! We both need a retard kiss!
C- Why?
S- I'm wearing them!
Yes, Steven was wearing the short and neither of us noticed!
p.s. a retard kiss is when you kiss the forehead and rub behind the ear.

Baby
I am suppose to write down a pregnancy memory already. So here it is.
We suck at keeping secrets So this is proof by talking to my mom,
me: "Hey mom burn notice season 5 is now on netflix"
mom: "Oh really that is the best news I've heard all day!"
me: "Better than me being pregnant?"
mom: "Oh yea we have been waiting for burn notice for a long time"
Then we talked about nothing important from there. For a few minutes and I said goodnight. I called and told Steven this story and he decided to call my mom and let her know.
Steven: "Hey mom, you know Camilla wasn't kidding right?"
Mom: "About burn notice, I know we are going to watch it now."
Steven " No about the other thing"
Mom "What other thing?"
Steven "About her being pregnant."
The line goes silent, Mom: "WHAT?! Camilla's Pregnant! That twerp!"
Lol so there is my pregnancy memory.
Oh and I also went to Doc Cain for my appointment to talk about IUI and weather or not birth control for a few months would help me get pregnant.

Spring Break!
Since I don't have face book I am not sure how to post a tone of pictures.... But I will figure something out...
I just finished Spring Break and Illianna and I went up north to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Bruner. (Illi is so in love with Grandma)
We went up Saturday with Steven so that he could work for his dad. Illi and I went to grandparents house and played. Steven worked 14 total hours (Sat and Sun) before he drove home. I used the Jetta all week which was a fun change of pace.
So Sunday we went to church with grandma and grandpa. Illi was a pain in Sacrament meeting because she refused to eat all day so grandma had to steal gold fish from the nursery supply. Which made her funner. It was Thomas Ballard's Homecoming. It was great to hear him speak. He was a great missionary. Illi stayed for the first hour of nursery and I chatted with Steven on the phone. I took her out and we went home for a nap so that she wouldn't be grumpy at dinner time. Chelsea and Kim came for dinner and it was nice. Kim made bunny shaped cupcakes that were really good and looked amazing!
Monday Steven went home and left me and Illi for fun for ourselves. Just kidding he gave us some money to survive. :) Monday was my mom's day off work so we stayed home and played with grandma. I made lunch of Jessica's famous mac and beans. I don't think they liked it very much but I do so there! Mom and I had some great talks... I am going to leave it at that.
Tuesday I was finally able to go to Kym's house! It was fun for do nothing at someone's house who has cable where she only watches the ID channel. It was lovely. Illi was a pain the whole day though and Tru and Layna were kinda crabby but it happens. We serious did nothing but gab. Todd wasn't too happy about coming home to a dirty house but heck what can I say we were "busy".
