Strawberries

The other day, I found strawberries for a really good price and decided to try to make strawberry jam. While I was washing the strawberries, Camron sat on the counter watching me. He really likes strawberries, so of course he had to try some to make sure they were good. When I cut off the green leaves, it left a hole in the middle of the strawberries. Camron would stick his thumb in the hole and eat the strawberries that way. He looked so cute with a big strawberry on his finger.

"See what I have."



"Yep, it tastes good."

Easter Weekend

We had a great Easter this year. We started the fun on Saturday morning at the famous Ward Easter egg hunt. Unfortunatly, it was raining pretty good Friday night and Saturday morning so the egg hunt was a little wet. Edward and Camron were more then willing to brave the weather so they that they could get their fair share of tooth rotting sweets! Later that day we dyed easter eggs. Edward and Camron thought it was the funnest thing.

Look Ma! I colored my egg!

We had a little Easter get-together with family and friends. Here is Ed with some of his brothers and cousins who were able to make it.

Camron is still getting the hang of the Easter egg hunt.

Edward is a Easter egg hunt pro!

The boys had a lot of fun with all the cousins. Uncle Jon wore himself out pulling the kids in this wagon. Leon, Jason's dog, thought it was a lot of fun too.

Honestly, I'm not really sure what was going on here. But he sure is cute!

My Boys

Here is a quick update on what my boys have been up to..

Ed had to be gone for a few weeks these last couple of months for work. As part of his ongoing training for work he was able to spend a day learning firefighting practical skills. He sent us home pictures of him working hard.

Camron is full of energy and loves to explore the world around him. He is always climbing and getting into everything he shouldn't. It is hard to get mad at him because he will then turn to you and give the cutest little smile. He is growing up so fast. Here he is after stealing his daddy's popsicle.

A few weeks ago, we put in our garden. After having success with tomatoes and squash last year, we decided to put those in as our main crop. We also put some radishes (which are almost done) and bell pepper in with the tomatoes. Edward is my little helper, he is always wanting to help me do whatever I may be doing. He helped Ed and I plant our garden and now he is in charge of watering the garden. He is also a big help with Camron. He is a good older brother and tries to teach his brother new stuff everyday.

Edward and Camron get along so well. They are the best of friends.

Whats in a name?

So we have been thinking about what to name our new little bundle of joy. Here is a list of some of our favorites:

Tyler Reed
Brigham Cole
Joseph Blue
Wesley Tyler
Timothy Mitchel
Benjamin Thomas

We're having a BOY!!!

Happy Holidays from the Burgoynes

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It has been quite a while since we have posted and we have all been busy. Edward enjoys going to school each day. He missed school during Christmas break and was excited when school started back. He has also learned to use the big boy potty. We are so very proud of him for this achievement.

Camron keeps getting bigger each day. He likes to follow his brother around and play with Edward. Camron also loves to get into anything and everything. He climbs on almost everything he can. He has also learned little kids favorite word "No" and uses it often.

Ed was able to get almost two weeks off during the Christmas holiday, so we have enjoyed the extra time we have been able to spend with him. Camron who was a complete momma's boy has now started being a daddy's boy and not wanting mommy. It has been so much fun watching Ed and the boys play together.

One last piece of good news.........

Ed and I will soon be outnumbered by kids in our family (keep us in your prayers!). We will be expecting the new addition around July 6th. We are very excited and will keep you posted as things move along.

Camron learning all about the computer.

Awwww...... How cute!

Edward graduated from Nursery and is now a great big Sunbeam.

When Ed was little, Grandpa Edward Burgoyne bought him a Sunday suit and Ed wore it during his childhood. Ed's mom, Eileen, kept the suit and recently gave it to us. We were pleased to find that it fit Edward perfectly and he looks just like a missionary.

Burgoyne Update

October has been a busy month for us. We started the month by going to visit Ed in California. Ed has been in training in California for a while and we couldn't live without him any longer. While we were in California, we went to Knott's Berry Farm (Ed lost all of the pictures, so we don't have any of those) and the beach. Edward loved Knott's Berry Farm. They had many little kid rides that involved cars and trains (Edward's two favorite things). I also got to ride on their roller coasters and had a blast.

Our second weekend in California, we went to the beach. We drove about 45 minutes from Ed's hotel room to the beach, and as soon as we got out of the car to head to the beach Edward informed us that he was ready to go home. It was very cold and windy, but I really wanted to go to the beach, so we stayed for a little bit.

Edward had never seen the ocean before and so he didn't understand the cold water chasing him.

"Can I go home, now?"

Camron says, "It's not so bad if Mommy holds me."

After 10 days in California, we came home. It was nice coming home, because Ed got to come home with us. He completed all of his training in California and so now he is home with us. He also gets to work from home so we see him off and on all day, it is sooooo wonderful. :)

Camron's birthday was also in October. He is now our great big 1 year old, and cute as can be. For his birthday we had his cousins over for cake and ice cream. That weekend we had a birthday party with my Uncle Tristan and his family to celebrate both Camron and Zach's birthday. We went to Freestone park had a blast visiting with Tristan and Cheryl and the kids.

"Anybody want any cake?"

"Mmmm... Cake!"

For Halloween Edward dressed up as a cowboy riding a horse and Camron was a dragon. We went out trick or treating and then when we came home we took their candy and took out the good stuff and then Ed passed out the rest of the candy to kids who came by our house. It was late and so not that many kids came by, those who did were astounded by the generous handfuls that Ed gave to them as he was trying to get rid of the candy. We had a trunk or treat for our ward the Tuesday before Halloween and the boys had already eaten too much candy and so we figured they didn't need to much more.

My little cowboy and dragon. Aren't they cute?

Camron dressing up as a fireman.

My uncle Tristan and his family moved down to Phoenix so I have been able to visit them a little bit. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to get to know them better. Edward has had a blast playing with Brynnlee, Zach, and Spencer. Cheryl gave me a few of Zach and Spencer's old clothes and here are Edward and Camron all dressed up for church in outfits that we got from them. Thanks Cheryl :)

When Ed and I got married we were given various furniture from different places. On of the pieces of furniture we got was a green couch from Ed's grandpa. We loved the couch, it was really comfy. When we had family visit, our siblings would fight over who would get to sleep on that couch. Well, over time the couch began to fall apart (literally), the seams split and Camron loved to eat the filling inside the couch. So, we have tried keeping it covered so it didn't look so bad, but with two boys climbing all over it constantly, the covering didn't work so well. I have been bugging Ed about getting a new couch for about a month now. This weekend while I went yard sale shopping, I found a couch that I really liked. Ed liked it too and here it is.....

Now we just need to paint the room. Next project.

Don't forget to vote on Tues.!!!
