Life for the Belnaps

I am always behind on my posts and usually only post events. So this time, I thought I would give you a little idea of what life is everyday. I felt cool that Rachel tagged me and then you would really get an idea of what life is like, but I didn't want to post pictures of a sink full of dishes, clothes on my bathroom floor and toddler toys strewn throughout the house. Thanks for the tag Rach, but you will just have to come to house to see what it is really like. One of Camilla's new tricks is rolling over. This is catching her performing her new trick. She has mastered it a lot better now. Here are our two cute girls. Emma loves to copy what Camilla is doing. Somedays I have 2 babies instead of one!
Does anyone else forget to change diapers sometimes? Ooops. Emma will usually tell me if she is soggy. But she failed to mention it that day and I was a little sidetracked or is that mommy brain? Either way, yes I know Rachel and Anabelle this is a good sign that I should potty-train. In the meantime, I am trying not to leave her so soggy.
Emma is a little mimmick. You can tell how I go to work each day. And this is the way Emma goes to work with me, purse, glasses and her keys. There is no stopping this chica!
This is Emma and Sophie painting pumpkins. If you come to our house Emma will be sure to show off her pumpkin. She loved it! Thanks Wilkins!
Our fun girls again! This picture happens to be on Camilla's 6 month birthday. (Happy half birthday to Lexey too!)
Ummm....yuck! So this is becoming part of our lives. Kevin has wrecked on his bike twice in the last month. Note to all motorists, watch out for my sweet husband! A girl pulled out of a parking lot and turned immediately. The only problem was she didn't look for the bike riding past her. So she hit Kevin on his bike. Duh! BYU drivers have got to watch out!



Kevin is taking a swimming class this semester. Emma thinks she is in the class too. She loves to 'swim' a.k.a. taking a bath with goggles.
Camilla's other trick is eating her toes. Check out that flexibility! If only we were all still that flexible. Me, I probably can't even do the splits anymore. Boo!







These vidoes are of our girls performing more tricks. Camilla is saying 'mom!' This is always a great day. But on the video it started to morph into 'ba' instead of 'ma.' But I promise she can still say 'mamama.' And Emma is riding her bike! This is a major accomplishment and has taken us all summer to get it. Good job Ems! (Too bad bike riding season is almost over)

I love seeing updates on your kids!! They are growing up SO fast!! I will get Tyson's mailing address to you. I know he can receive emails but he cannot respond to them. Do you want me to forward you the family email he sends every week?

Cute Jen, I can't believe how big your girls are!! I wish I lived real close so I could bring my boys over. I think they would all have a lot of fun together!!

Way cute pictures. Camilla looked a lot like Kevin in the first picture.

How fun! Don't worry, our house always has dirty dishes in the sink and toys all over! If all we did was keep our homes spotless, we wouldn't get to do anything fun with our kids! And I bet our kids remember the fun times more than they will ever remember having a messy house every once in awhile!

Emma has changed so much! And Camilla is so big! I thought they would look exacty alike, but they look very different to me! Emma reminds me of Kevin and Camilla reminds me of you! Either way, they are adorable!

PS...good luck on the potty-training thing...whew...that was hard work for us with Anna! I am dreading potty training Carter! Maybe you will do amazingly well with Emma and we will learn all the tricks!

We love your little family! Say hi to Kevin for us!

I love that you already have David Archuletta's song on your blog. I'm adding that one to mine today!!! It's so good to see everything that's going on there! I can't believe Kev got hit by a car. Holy!

Yikes!! Kevin got hit on his bike? Wow, Provo drivers are crazy!! I loved your blog. I think that I would not have much more than a sink full of dishes, etc..except maybe trying desperately to get in a nap!
