Cambria Turns 6 Mnths & We're Gonna Be Cougars.

Cam turned 6 months old on Thursday! Last week we took her with us to Jackson Hole and Island Park, Via Yellowstone. It sure made for a different flavor of vacation, but still quite satisfying. We took pictures of her everywhere, which you can entertain yourselves by viewing them here.
Stacey bought the cow swimsuit at a yard sale for 50 Cents a couple months back. Cambria is a born swimmer! she loved the water, she tried everything, but excelled at the backstroke. She didn't make a peep until we pulled her out. Earlier we had wandered around JH and found the perfect hiding place for our munchkin.

Cam is doing wonderfully, We enrolled her in a research program for Acid reflux. (she could've given Vesuvius a run for it and was more constant than Ole Faithful.) The medicine is basically the childrens version of pantoprazole. It's worked wonders. Which has changed her whole demeanor, she's much happier, as are we. ;)
She's starting to sit up a little and getting ready to crawl... very exciting stuff! Did we mention she's so darn CUTE! We love our little Cam!
('Bam Bam' as Drew calls her..(yes I know pebbles was the girl and BamBam was a boy. but it's so fun to say "Oops! BamBam went BoomBoom in her shorts!")

As for the rest of us... Exciting things are afoot. Drew was finally notified officially that he was accepted into the Grad program at the 'Y'.
He put in his last official days with At Your Leisure this past week, and did a final shoot today. They actually gave him a little breakfast goodbye on Fri. complete with decorated donuts that said "Good Luck Drew" How very sweet! He will miss them...most of them...three of them. An extra bonus is that BYU called while were on the Teton/Island Park trip, and offered Drew a full time staff position for the rest of the summer just doing production type things, installing servers, and a new automatic directing system called 'Ignite'.
(Sounds cool, but you gotta wonder about a company that gives their computer equipment a name that sounds like it's already going up in flames.)

Eventually he'll be working on some video elements for the BYU daily student newscast.
When school starts in Sept. he'll be spending some time each day with the students helping them shoot and edit and directing. This Fall will be the the Daily News' return to KBYU. They haven't been on KBYU for like 6-7 years.
This is the perfect gig for Drew while getting his Masters in Communications. Another delicious carrot for our move is that they are hiring Stacey to be PartTime Faculty, helping out on the editorial side of things. So things are looking good, the only puzzle piece left is housing. It'll all work out.
Drew will be freelancing through school to supplement the income, so if you or anyone you know needs some sweet Video production... he's your guy!
Did you look at the cute pictures of Cam yet? Here's the link again just for you!

Busy Month
We've listed the house, and are hoping that we can get enough for it to afford the move to Happy Valley. I am yet to hear an official acceptance from the 'Y' for getting in their Grad program, but word on the street is that's it's on it's way. We've also put on offer on a townhome in Happy Valley, that has a great location. Here's hoping it all works out. (Cause if it doesn't I'm taking out an $80,000 loan and starting my own tv show.)
This is going to be a tough adventure, moving the first time was easy, but now with Cam, it's a whole new world.
