True Blue Through and Through

This past week was especially intense as we prepared for the BYU vs Utah rivalry football game. To show his support and how big of a fan he is, Cameron decided it was necessary to wear a different BYU shirt/hat/sweatshirt everyday this week. I thought it would be fun to document this, so here you go! I took each picture just as we were walking out the door to head to school. The last picture is of him on game day (with the remote in hand and all).

Pell,Elda,Elle May,Pelda........Brooke!

It is my youngest sisters' birthday and I just wanted to wish her a very happy birthday! I dug up some adorable pictures of her growing up and thought everyone would like to see how the cuteness definitely runs in the family (: Happy 14th Birthday Brooke!


















I was six when Brooke was born and I used to think that I was her mother(not literally her mother, I just thought that I was away better mom to Brooke than my mom was), like I would say things to my mom like "I can't believe you are letting her crawl right there, she is going to get hurt" or "that toy has pointed edges she is going to fall and stab herself" etc etc. Also, the title to this post are all nick names that I have had for her over the years. Don't ask me what they mean (cuz I have no idea).

Cameron's Brithday!!!

Yesterday was Cameron's birthday and we really didn't do anything too exciting. He had class from 7:45 in the morning till 9:30 last night, so we tried to be creative and basically just hung out when we both weren't in class.

Since neither of us were going to actually be home much on his birthday I made him this cake the night before. I forgot to get one of the little tips for the frosting so it didn't come out very well, but that's ok it was still good. There was actually a kid in one of my classes that had the same exact birthday as Cameron and was even turning 26 also, so when we woke up for class the morning of Cam's birthday I just cut out a big chunk of Cameron's cake and stole the "26" off of it and took it to class to give to the other kid. He was very excited so I was happy I did it(although I'm not sure Cameron was so happy that half his cake was going to some random guy).


I got up in the middle of the night and decorated our living room so it would be a little more exciting when he woke up.

Cameron with his festive living room. I made him that BYU football blanket that is laying on the couch next to him. He was surprised that I was able to order the fabric, make it, and keep it a secret until his birthday.


Since Cameron didn't get done with class until late, we decided to just grab a pizza(but not just any old pizza), we had to go to Craigos and it was really good (as usual). We brought it home and I was getting way into the whole birthday thing, so I got out the "wine" glasses that we got for our wedding and we poured our pop into them and drank out of those. Excuse my sweats and gym shirt. I had just got back from a cycling class when Cameron got home.


I think it was a fun day overall even though we still had work and classes. We will be home in Spokane for my birthday next month so we will be lucky enough to do things with our families for that. Oh yeah... Cameron got lots of cards and notes and packages so thanks to everyone who gave him one of those to make it a little more exciting.

No pictures?

So, I just realized I have never done a post that didn't have any pictures in it, and since we don't have anything really picture worthy in our lives right now I will just do a quick update without pictures...

well we are a few weeks into a new semester. Cameron started the Nursing program and it is keeping him plenty busy. He is taking a few pre-med classes on top of his nursing stuff which makes him even more busy and occupied with homework. He also still works up at the health center, so needless to say it will be a long busy semester for him.

I am also in school full-time but I have managed to schedule all my classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can work all day on Monday,Wednesday,Friday and Saturdays. I luckily have a great job where I can get some homework done while I am there. I am trying to graduate sooner than I should for when I started, so I am also taking 3 BYU independent study classes.

Cameron and I still love our apartment and are continuing to get to know new people in our ward which is always fun. We faithfully watch the BYU football games every Saturday, so if you are a fan too and want to come watch with us, you are more than welcome(Cameron's parents upgraded our cable for his birthday so we get the channel that the games are on).

Other than that, there is nothing really new or exciting going on in our lives right now. We did go to the BYU-UCLA game a couple weeks ago so I will put up those pictures when we get them from Cameron's parents.

Home Sweet Home

After we got back from our cross country travels we went back to our apartment for one day, just long enough to unpack, do laundry and re-pack to go home to Spokane for about a week. Hillary's cousin Jordan was having his wedding reception on friday so we went up for that and to just hang out with family before school starts back up. We had lots of fun seeing everyone and it went by way too fast. We took lots of pictures with family so here you go...

The Skelton kids-I'm not sure how Cameron and I look like the youngest when we are actually two of the oldest

I got to have a girls night out with a bunch of my friends from Spokane and it was a blast!

We got to see our friends Jon and Michelle Spear which was fun, but the best part was holding new baby Nixon. 

He is such a cute baby
