HE'S HERE!!!

HE FINALLY CAME!!!

after being in the hospital for about 16 hours, and in labor for 1 and 1/2 hours, cami gave birth to Kaleb Aukai Rivas at 10:10pm tonight! He was 7lbs. 12oz. and 19.5in. Here are some of the pictures of the very VERY special day in our family...

RA training

this last week i've been doing trainings for my job this year. we went all over the place and had A TON of workshops and things to learn. some of the places include...

the cannon center

lds business college (salt lake)

spring haven

camp williams

heritage halls central building

besides actual training... we also got to do some fun stuff. for example, after training in the lds business college, we went to the joseph smith memorial building and ate a fancy lunch.

this is me, ashley and carli. they are in our associate hall.

this was the view from the building, looking at the salt lake temple. isn't it really pretty?

we went to spring haven and between workshops, we got to play in the tree house, on the jungle gym, and have fun outside. =P

me and ashley... she's an RA in taylor (our associate hall).

when we went to camp williams, some of us got wet, but luckily i didn't. i was like a team building course on a military base. since we were "team building" we decided to make tie dye shirts!

this is taylor and stover RAs, and my hall advisor (L-R, top to bottom: becca, brittany, carli, zoe, ashley, amy, robin, chelsea, me, mackenzie, stephanie, joanali, and cebre)

at the heritage halls central building, we learned about fire safety. i got to use a fire extinguisher! =P

fun stuff.... i'm glad it's over though. now i just gotta wait for my girls to come!! =)

as promised...

i said i'd post more pictures of the final product (my hall decorations)... and i keep my promises. remember, my theme is "miss stover" like a pageant. so here it is...

my door tags

my bulletin board

the mirror

other wall decorations

the rest of the hall decorations

interesting fact... stover was a boys hall, and just this year they switched it to a girls hall. that means that the bathrooms were men's bathrooms (before)...

so i changed it... to a women's bathroom. (after) =D

thanks to mom, meags, and everyone else who helped me with ideas and actually decorating!!! =D

i'm all moved in!!!

it's official... i've finally moved into my dorm (thanks everybody for helping me move/settle in)!!

i've got my name on my door...

i've set up my bed...

i've set up my desk...

... and now i'm ready for the girls! =D
