Valentines Day 2011

Valentines Day 2011

Here are the LOVES of my life!

What more could I ask for on Valentines Day!

The boys have been begging for pillow pets, and this was the perfect present for their Valentines Day gift. They also got Jelly Beans and a dispenser. Jelly Beans are their favorite along with their Daddys!

Valentines Day was on a Monday this year, but we gave the boys their gifts on Sunday afternoon so that Daddy would be able to stay with us.

They loved their pillows and especially the candy!

Snow 2011

2011-06-15T10:05:00.000-07:00

Night sledding with friends

We got a huge snow at the begging of this year. We had so much fun and made the most out of it since it's rare that we get enough to play in. The boys had a blast. Several days after the big snow we went with the Richmonds for night sledding at Waterville Elementary school after worship services. The snow was packed down so we flew down the hill and would just keep going. Here are some pictures from that night.

I love those rosy cheeks on the boys

The Richmonds

Go Camden Go!!!

Carter loved it!

Before we got the snow, that was all that we heard about on the news. Knowing that the snow was coming we spent the night at the Gobbles house, so the boys would have other kids to play with and we would have friends to play with too. We had so much fun and just camped out in the Gobbles basement for 2 nights. Here are some pictures from our little getaway.

He loved it.

This was the hill and most of the neighborhood came out to play.

It was just like it is in the movies.

We had so much fun, so thank you Gobbles for letting us crash!

Jedi Camden's 4th B-Day

2011-06-15T08:14:00.000-07:00

Jedi Camden's 4th Birthday Party!

This was the actual day of his Birthday!

This year he specifically asked for a "Happy Birthday Hat"

Those things are hard to find these days!

Cake in the face.

He has to be the cleanest boy.

As soon as I did this he said "Ewe, get this off of me"

"Hurry up, take the picture and clean me off!"

Mario Kart for his Nintendo DS

Another season of the Clone Wars!

These boys LOVE Star Wars!

Camden was really excited about his actual Birthday Party this year.

He kept saying "I'm going to go in that other room in the dark and then when I come back everyone's going to yell!"

It took me a little bit to realize he wanted everyone to yell surprise to him at his Birthday party, even though it wasn't a surprise.

We did this for one of the Gobble kids not to long ago and he had remembered.

So everyone went along with it.

This is his SURPRISED face!

Singing Happy Birthday!

Lots of friends came to celebrate with us.

Yummy Icecream Cake

Yes, Carter got presents too!

Christmas 2010

2011-04-11T11:05:00.001-07:00

It was a white christmas this year!

We all had funny playing in it.

Nana stayed Christmas night with us this year and so Joe was throwing a snowball at her. He actually hit her.

Getting ready for Christmas with Joe's side of the family.

Nana got the boys a lego table with chairs and a bunch of legos.

It is pretty much awesome!

Pop got both of the boys a BB pistol.

Even though they are just 2 and 3 years old.

They loved it!

Going to get pictures made with Santa.

Carter was really excited.

Carter was really excited until it was his turn to get on Santa's lap.

Camden got a Nintendo DS just like Grey's.

Ryder got a camera which he's been wanting.

Ryder and Carter's big present to go along with their helmets was new big boy bicycles.

They were so excited.

Carter got new Choo Choo trains and tracks to add to the few that he already had.

We love that Nana get's to share this special time with us.

My parents came by to visit christmas morning also.

In this picture Carter is showing Nana his MobiGo.

That was pretty much our Christmas this year.

The boys always get way to much, but it's fun getting to spoil them.

So far each year just keeps getting better and better.

Comfy Sack Contest

2011-04-11T10:42:00.000-07:00

We've been wanting to get the boys a huge bean bag to go in Camden's room. After researching different brands such as the Love Sac and Comfy Sack we discovered that Comfy Sacks was probably the way we were going to go. They're still pricy but not compared to there competitors. I had ordered some free fabric swatches to be mailed to us and once I received them it said to join their facebook page. When I joined their page I noticed they were running contest for a comfy sack giveaway. You just had to upload a picture of your couch and whoever got the most "likes" on their picture won. Well, I had a strategy, I sent them a picture of my couch with my boys on it. After much help from friends all over we won!!! The boys love it and that includes Joe. It's a 5 ft micro suede sack filled with memory foam. Pretty awesome and super comfy! Check them out at http://www.facebook.com/comfysacks . Maybe you can win the next giveaway!

Fall Family Retreat '10

2011-03-24T12:28:00.000-07:00

Fall Family Retreat 2010

I'm still trying to catch up on all the things that I've missed when I slacked off of my blogging and the Family Retreat was one of them.

Each fall we go to Blue Ridge Ga. for our annual Family Retreat at Camp Wetoga with our Eastside family. We look forward to it all year long and this was the first year that Carter got to go. This is something that I know as the boys get older they are always going to remember and look forward to. We have wonderful speakers throughout the weekend, big camp fires, smores, games, nature hikes, along with wonderful food and fellowship.

Here are some of the pictures I got from this past retreat.

The boys playing in the mess hall.

We usually stop at the Piggly Wiggly on our way up to grab what we want to cook for dinner that night. This year we got steak and Taylor cooked up some pretty amazing fried potatos.

We always bring flashlights since there is not much light around the camp at night and this year Ryder had the coolest flashlight of all. He wore it nonstop all weekend. It was pretty great and totally Ryder.

Hanging out in the kitchen and preparing everything that could be prepared ahead of time for tomorrows big day.

Crazy hair, which Camden did not like having. He covered his hair up with his hood most of the morning.

Time for some singing up at the pavillion and hitching rides in all of our friends wagons.

This retreat has ended and we are already counting down for the next one!

Vacation 2010

2011-03-23T10:02:00.000-07:00

Vacation 2010

After Carter's 2nd birthday party this past September we headed straight to Destin with Nana and the boys. We left out about 2 a.m. and thought the boys would sleep the whole way. Carter slept on and off, but Camden stayed awake the entire drive. He didn't want to miss anything. We had so much fun and Nana hadn't been to the beach since Joe was the boys age so she really enjoyed it. Here are some pictures from our trip.

Nana and Joe checking out the beach while we waited on our room.

We were a little disappointed because the water was so dirty, but Camden didn't mind. He had so much fun playing on his boogie board.

We had Carter's birthday party early b/c we were going to be at the beach. This picture was taken on his actual birthday at the The Back Porch. We sat out on the deck over looking the ocean.

After eating at The Back Porch we planned on taking the boys for icecream and it was so late that the only thing open was Sonic but they didn't mind. Carter enjoyed making a mess!

The boys loved to take the cushions from the couch and lay them on the floor, so they could act like superheros flying off the couch. Notice Carter's underwear, this is where we started doing away with the diapers. :)

This was Camden's dance for the week. Hands up, looking like he's trying to throw gang signs. Weird kid, but cute.

A little brotherly love. This doesn't happen much.

Family picture! This doesn't happen much either.

I had been letting the boys hair grow out, but decided before trying to get some good pictures of them on the beach I wanted to get their hair cut. We drove at least an hour and a half to get to this haircutting place by taking directions from the GPS. Once we got there they told us we were actually only 30 minutes to 45 minutes away. We had just went the long way around by going around the mountain instead of taking a toll road. Of course we did that's just how we roll.

I loved their haircuts and wish I could always take them there. We did a little shopping afterwards.

Time for some of the beach pictures I got.

I LOVE this picture of Carter with the awesome background.

I had a hard time getting a picture of Camden not squinting.

One of their favorite things to do that week was jump off of the steps into the sand.

They just kept getting bravier and going up steps to jump even higher.

Carter wanting to do flips like Camden in the sand.

Chillen, which was what he did best. He wasn't fond of the "yucky water" as he put it.

Throwing some more gang signs while dancing.

I love these pictures of Carter pulling on Camden b/c Camden is due for some major payback.

Before we left Destin to come home we stopped by Build a Bear and let the boys make any bear they wanted and dress it. Carter picked out a crocodile with P.J.'s and Camden got a Camo bear with a Jedi outfit.

Carter's 2nd Birthday

2010-11-16T11:25:00.001-08:00

This year for Carter’s 2nd Birthday and Ryder’s 3rd Birthday we decided to do a Manninewt themed party. For those of you who don’t know Manninewt is Ryders imaginary friend. Ryder says that Manninewt is a pocket squirrel. You might be wondering what a pocket squirrel is, well it’s a squirrel that lives in your pocket of course. We’ve had a lot of fun this year hearing Ryder talk and play with his special friend and even bring him out for special playtime with Camden and Carter, so why not include him in the party. Kristy told Ryder that Manninewt would be at his party and Ryder said “I know Mom” like where else would he be. Here are some pictures from this years party.

Let me first start with how this years party started verses last year.

1st Birthday

Carter taking off his diaper and playing in it.

Not exciting at all!

2nd Birthday

Carter using the potty!!!

Very exciting!!!

At this time I was letting the boys hair grow out so it's a little more shaggy than usual.

Giving Papa knucks

We got Carter the new swing the boys are playing on for his birthday and they loved it.

We were leaving for Florida in a few hours after the party so we kept it all very simple so my house and kitchen wouldn't be a complete mess. We ordered the cakes this year and they loved their Woody and Buzz light year cakes. We added some Manninewt pictures to the cupcakes.

Camden was wanting some of the birthday boys cakes.

Camden has started having some kind of habit here lately, and at this time particular time is was sniffing as you can see in this picture. Aghhhhh, it drives us crazy!!!

The birthday boys!

Sweet little Carter shared his cake with Camden.

"I'm two"

(not to sure how to makes his fingers show two)

Of course Pop had to get Carter a BB gun just like he got Camden for his 2nd Birthday.

Even though it wasn't Camden's birthday he still got a couple of presents, like these skates.

About to let his balloon go!

Carter and Owen

Carter is just 6 days older than Owen!

We've recently started a new bible curriculum where I attend worship services at the Eastside Church of Christ. It's called Engraving Heavenly Truths. It's a great curriculum, but the teachers are responsible for making a lot of the visuals. I was in need of a good clipart website for creating these visuals and I discovered the following website that I love and just wanted to share it with everyone just incase anyone else is in need of something like this.

Alpha Chugga Milka for life!

2010-09-27T12:49:00.000-07:00

After missing one haircut and our haircutting lady moving out of town I decided to let the boys hair grow out. I really like it and Camden loved it. He called it his "crazy hair". I got a lot of comments. Some loved it, some made fun of it by calling them the Alpha Chugga Milka frat brothers and some wanted to know when I was going to cut it. I knew I would get all kinds of comments, but it didn't matter because they're mine and the only opinions that mattered was mine and Joe's. Oh, the power of being a parent.

And now we're swimming!

2010-09-27T12:15:00.000-07:00

Towards the end of summer Camden started swimming!

It started by him wanting to wear goggles like all of his older friends, Grey, Emma, and Leah. When he had the goggles on he liked looking under the water and he started staying under longer and longer until he was under long enough for his feet to float up. That's all that it took because after that he started kicking and realized he could swim. He turned into a little fish. He can now do a back flip and front flip under water and loves to be thrown in the air across the pool.

Of course Carter's not far behind. When Camden started jumping in and swimming Carter had to do the same. He still has to wear his floaties, but he doesn't hesitate to jump in at any time.

Sentences & More!

2010-07-12T11:46:00.000-07:00

This was Carter this morning saying

"Bye, Bye, C-ya Momma"

Carter is now 22 months old!

Wow, just two more months and my baby's going to be 2!!!

How exciting is that?

Carter has been making so many changes this summer.

His words are now coming together to make sentences

and some of the words that he uses blows me away.
He's also become quite the little tattle tale.

No matter where I am in the house he will come hunt me down

to lead me back to Camden so he can tell the both of us one of the following...

"Camden hit, no hit Camden, NO!!!"

"Camden kick, no kick Camden, NO!!!"

"Camden pushed, no push Camden, NO!!!"

This is a daily occurrence.

At bedtime I get...

"Read book pease" Usually Llama Llama Red Pajama

which he has most of it memorized and loves yelling "Run, Run, Run"

and saying "the end" when we get to the last page.
Then it's on to "Mommy sing twinkle twinkle"

and "Mommy sing Jesus loves me"

and last but not least "night, night get spanken?"

which he usually gets for getting out of bed and laying at the foot of his door.

Not only has he grown with his vocabulary but in so many other ways.

Such as swimming. Camden has always loved the water,

but I was a little worried about Carter. The first time in the pool this year he cried

and clung on to me so tight. I thought great this is going to be a long summer,

but about the 3rd time out he said "swim" then let go of me

and ever since he's all over the pool all by himself.

He's even gotten up the courage to jump off the diving board several times

while holding on to my finger.

It's pretty awesome!

It really does get better and better each year. It's hard to believe that it can get better, but it does!!! Both of my boys are getting so big and I'm loving it so much.

Pop's House

2010-06-15T19:16:00.000-07:00

Our Pop ( Joe's dad ) owns a fish farm. He mainly deals in Japanese Koi which is the fish you see in most garden ponds. He also has huge catfish, some white catfish and lots and lots of Blue Gill that you could almost drop a hook in the water and pull out one every time. He actually just had the Chattanooga aquarium do a write up in their news letter about his place Savannah Springs Fishery and they brought a group out of around 30 people to come and tour it. He also donated one of the white catfish he recently caught to the aquarium.

The boys absolutely LOVE to go to their Pop's house. What's not to love about it, he's got cages of fish the boys can reel up out of the water and watch them swim around, a little boat to paddle around the pond in, frogs everywhere, rocks, dirt, targets set up for pow pows that Daddy and Pop can help Camden with, and a bucket that the boys can put the Blue Gill in that they catch so they can pick it up and play with it. I have to admit we've not got to go out and visit much because of Carter's age, but he's finally getting old enough that we can trust him a little more around the water. Here are some pictures from Pop's from the past and as recent as a couple of weeks ago.

Camden was about 5 months old in these first few pictures!

Checking out the ducks!

Camden was almost 2 1/2 in these next pictures and Carter was about 8 months old.

No more diapers for Cam!!!

2010-06-04T09:50:00.001-07:00

No More Diapers for Camden!!!

Camden has been potty trained for over a year now through the day, but at nap time and bed time he's been still wearing a diaper. We've been locking him in his bedroom at night ever since we woke up one morning to our front door standing wide open and Camden was found in the back yard next to a big hole that was soon to be our inground pool playing in the mud for no telling how long. When we moved him to his new room this past month we decided it was time to unlock his door so that he could have access to the bathroom. It took several days for him to actually come out of his room without me coming to get him and just last night I let him sleep in underwear! He woke up at 3:00 am crying and so I got everything together to change his sheets before I went to check on him. To my surprise his sheets were dry as could be. He was crying because his legs were cramping. After giving him some tylenol and calming him down he went back to sleep until 9:30 this morning and woke up with still dry sheets. So in celebration, me and Camden are moving all of his diapers over to Carter's room!!! It's nice to have one completely out of diapers and at least the other one is starting to use the potty!

Switching bedrooms

2010-05-26T09:02:00.001-07:00

Carter has been climbing up and sitting on the footboard of his baby bed for several months now. He woke me up one morning yelling "Momma, help" over and over again and I found him stuck up on his footboard not knowing how he was going to get down.

Carter is now 20 months old which is how old Camden was when we had Carter. I thought Camden was such a big boy at that age, but now that Carter is 20 months old he doesn't seem as big. We moved Camden to his big boy bed when he was 18 months old to hopefully get him used to it before Carter's arrival. Camden did great when we moved him so we've been excited to get rid of all the baby stuff and move on from the baby stage in our life.

I finally found some furniture that I loved and we decided to switch the boys rooms. Carter is getting Camden's room and furniture and Camden is getting Carter's room with the new furniture. I didn't realize that Carter would love switching rooms as much as he has. I guess he thinks he is really big since he now has his big brother's room. Camden is really into superhero's so we decided to have Ryan Snyder come in and paint Superman, Spiderman and Batman on his wall. Ryan is an amazing artist and he did a great job with the room. Camden was so excited when his new furniture got delivered. He was ready for nap time and before I left his room he said " Momma this is going to be so cool"
Both of the boys have done perfect with the change. Carter is staying in the bed and doesn't even want to come out of it when I go to get him up in the mornings. Here are some pictures of the art work Ryan did.

Ryan is a local artist in Cleveland, Tn. Everyone should check out his blog at
http://dryansnyder.blogspot.com/ His contact information is on his blog and you should give him a call if you ever need anything done.

Camden and Soccer Camp!

2010-05-11T08:04:00.001-07:00

We joined the Richmonds in a soccer camp for Camden and Leah. It was held at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga. It was only a 90 minute session which was perfect for Camden since this was his first time being introduced to soccer. He did so good. We had to sit in the bleachers up and away from the field so I'm sure that helped him to not want to run to us every chance he got. He really took up with a couple of the coaches and only wanted to play with them. Here are some pictures from the day.

Here's Leah, Camden and the rest of the group heading out onto the field to get the camp started.

Camden was waiting to be told what to do and he saw the older boy beside him put his foot up on the ball so Camden had to do the same thing.

Kicking the ball between the coaches legs.

Camden getting to kick the ball into the big goal.

SCORE... High Five

Time for some red light, green light.

Green Light

Red Light

Everyone is supposed to be watching a demonstration and this is what Camden was doing.

For some reason Camden thought they wanted him to kick the ball with both feet and he loved kicking it that way. The coaches thought it was pretty funny too.

Camden watching Leah try out her new moves.

I think he's trying to kick the ball behind him.

My sweaty little soccer player!

Camden and Leah all ready to go get something to eat!

Eating habits

2010-04-28T08:21:00.002-07:00

My boys couldn't be more different in their eating. Camden was a wonderful eater until he started walking. After he started walking it was always a fight to get him to sit still and eat. Even now he goes through spurts and I never now if I'm going to get him to eat or not. He would much rather be playing. Although here lately Camden has started loving to eat salads and even on his hamburgers he wants to have lettuce. I think he would pick a salad over almost anything.

Carter on the other hand is the exact opposite. This boy has always eaten anything and everything you put in front of him and wouldn't stop unless you made him. He's now 19 months old and not much has changed. The other day Camden was getting Carter to chase him around the house and they were having so much fun until Carter noticed that I was fixing supper. Camden tried his best to get Carter to start playing again, but he wouldn't leave my side. Carter would go from me and the kitchen table saying "food, eat, pease" That is all that boy could think about and I'm not complaining because I would much rather have him always ready to eat then have to persuade him to eat like I have to with Camden. The only time I've noticed him not wanting to eat is if he has teeth coming or if I'm trying to feed him and he's wanting to do it himself. He's very independent.

Here's a picture of the boys eating Taco Bell, and yes Carter can eat the whole burrito.

Camden and Carter quotes

2010-04-28T07:56:00.000-07:00

Quotes as of April 2010

Camden has been saying some of the funniest and sweetest things here lately and I'm already starting to forget them. So I'm going to make this an ongoing blog post that I will update frequently with all the new things these two come up with.

Camden

"Hey Mom and Dad, guess what... I love you again, and again, and again. Now you say I love you too."

"Mom, you happy, mad, happy, mad? Mom you have to pick one!!!"

"Mom are you serious? Can I say serious? Dad can't say serious but I can... serious, serious, serious"

Camden has named his stuffed Dragon Beaber. Beaber has also become the word he will use if he dosen't know what to say or what something is, "It's a Beaber Mommy"

Carter sneezed and Camden said " Well scats Carter bug"

Carter

As he's running circles through the kitchen into the dining room, living room and then back through the kitchen he passes us and waves saying "Hi" runs a little farther then waves saying "Bye" with each lap he makes.

Carter is a pretty good sleeper and not a morning person at all. He has to have his play time in his bed alone in the morning or he's not a happy boy. If I have to go and get him up then he will bury himself in his pillow and blanket which he calls his "Baaah" and say "night-night" then scream when I take him out of the bed.

Our Bella girl is gone!

2010-04-19T11:14:00.000-07:00

Blessed Queen Isabella

3/17/2009

Bella was our beautiful collie that we traveled 6 hours one way to Virginia not once but twice to pick up. Our first trip we picked up a beautiful fluffy collie puppy that turned out to be deaf. We kept her for a week before returning to Virginia to exchange her for a new hearing puppy. We would have gotten the new puppy the first time if she had been old enough because she was the exact color I was looking for. I love the sable coloring with the white collar that goes all the way down the front feet with a little black around the face.

She did perfect once we got her home. We bell trained her for going to the bathroom and she was trained within the first two weeks and she only had a couple of accidents while being trained. Of course with having a puppy you have to deal with the chewing that comes with it. We kept her in the bathroom at first and she loved the toilet paper, my hairbrush and eventually a spot on our cabinets. Once she chewed on our cabinets we decided to give her more room and let her stay in our bedroom anytime we were leaving. She did great, mostly just laid on our bed until we returned. Until here lately, which I contribute to a couple of reasons. One being she has no room at our house to run and play and get out all of her energy. We put in an inground fence around our whole yard. We only have one acre, but that one acre took us at least 6 to 7 hours to do. That fence would have worked great except while aerating and plugging the yard last fall Joe didn't think about the wire we had laid throughout the yard and somewhere possibly several places it had gotten cut. Since the fence no longer works Bella only had our small pool area that she could run around in and that was it, so I know she didn't get the exercise she needed. Two being we've been gone almost everyday for something. So with no way to release all that energy and being locked up in our room she started looking for things to get into. Which made us realize that we really have no business having a dog. After laying sod around our pool and Bella peeing on it all the time she was starting to kill it which made me decide to start looking for Bella a new home. Luckily Brion and Jamie Posey were looking for a Collie or Golden Retriever and they decided they wanted to have Bella, so now she has all the room a dog could ask for to run and play not to mention the three little boys to keep her busy. I just hope she's good for them and they love her. I already miss her but it's much better for her and us. Here are a few pictures of our sweet Bella.

Camden loving on his new puppy!

Easter '10

2010-04-12T13:37:00.000-07:00

Easter Morning we got the boys up to see what the Easter Bunny had left for them and then we had to tear them away from their toys to get ready for church services. Here are some picture we took form Easter morning.

The boys got matching polos and linen pants for their Easter outfits this year. We figured that would be the most practical outfit since they live in polos during the summer.

After church services we went out to Papa Bear and GiGi's house for an amazing lunch and to let the boys hunt Easter eggs. Nana, Granny, Grana, Papa, Papa Bear, GiGi, Kristy, Cody, Ryder, Joe, Jonie, Camden and Carter were all of the attendees. We had a wonderful lunch.

Granny loved helping Carter find Easter eggs.

Camden was pretty much a pro at hunting eggs this year.

Lads to Leaders

I've always loved the Lads to Leaders program. The program is set up to help our kids learn to get up in front of the congregation and lead everyone in song, prayer, and teach us through the speeches they have prepared.
Our children are made to go to school and prepare speeches on certain subjects to present in front of their class mates so why not give them the opportunity to do so with the most important subject they will ever study... God.
I have always been amazed with all of the kids that participate in the program. Especially the little ones that get up in front of the congregation and lead their songs and say their speeches. From the time I found out I was having a boy I started looking forward to when he could participate this wonderful program.
It's hard to believe that this is the year Camden's old enough to do a small part. I started working with him several months back on a memory verse that I thought he could get up and say and working with him on leading Jesus Loves Me. We got to were we would let him practice after Sunday and Wednesday night services at the pulpit using the microphone. He loved it so much that he wouldn't practice at home anymore only when he could be behind the pulpit with a microphone.
Our congregation went to Central Church of Christ to lead them in their evening service a few weeks back and we had told Camden that he would get to preach that night. He was so excited but when we pulled up at Central he said " This is not church" so I tried to explain to him that the church isn't the building but the people and this is also the church. It took a little convincing before he believed me, but he was very excited to "preach".
John had Grey go first then Camden, and he did wonderful. He got up and started singing Jesus Loves Me and then he looked around until we met eyes and I mouthed "Memory Verse" so he said " Lamentation 3:22-23 Steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness. He did it!!! He did so good and I was so proud of him. Ryder followed after Camden and lead Jesus Loves the Little Children. He did an awesome job also. They both were wanting to get back up and do it again. They got to do it again the next week at Eastside and they even did a better job. I'm so proud of our boys. Carter kept saying "turn, turn" he wanted to get up to the microphone and sing. Hopefully he will be ready next year.
Here's a picture of Camden before leaving to go to Central Church of Christ. I couldn't get a normal picture of him.

Virginia Trip

2010-03-26T09:56:00.000-07:00

Salem, Virginia January 2010

A trip that got out of control before it had even begun, but what a fun trip it was.

The whole reason this trip came about was because Kyle and Kellee had some big news they were very excited to share with his parents but they wanted the news to be shared in person. They are having a BABY!!!

Kyle's parents Eddy and Jeanny had been scheduled to do a marriage seminar in Johnson City at Wesley and Denise Skelton's home congregation. Which is just 3 hours down the road. Joe and I had decided to tag along and Nana was going to stay at our house with the boys. We were going to leave Friday around lunch but there was one problem... it was going to snow and it was going to snow a lot. If it was going to snow a lot here in Cleveland then you better believe Salem, Virginia where Eddy and Jeanny live is going to get even more. The marriage seminar got rescheduled and the trip has now been changed to us going to Wesley and Denise's Thursday night and then on to Virginia on Friday. The 3 hour trip has now turned into a 6 hour trip in the snow. We decided to bring Camden along so he could enjoy all the snow with us. We had so much fun and had planned on coming back home Saturday night but with all the snow we had to stay until Sunday.

Here are some of the pictures from our snowy adventure.

Kyle told Joe that it was a lot of fun to take off running and jump into the snow when it's this deep. He didn't realize he needed to tell him feet first. We laughed so hard, what a dork!

The best snow angel ever!

Camden's 3rd Birthday

2010-03-26T08:57:00.001-07:00

Happy 3rd Birthday Camden!!!

Camden has really gotten into all the superhero's this year. Just like his daddy, he loves Superman. He's also really gotten into Batman, Spiderman, and He-Man, so that's were this years theme has come from. He had a wonderful birthday and got to share it with all of his favorite people. I just can't believe he's 3! He's getting so big and so much fun.

Camden and Ryder checking out the cupcakes!

The birthday boy had gotten his first really good black eye about a week before his party. Not the best story, he was just running around with a bean bag over his head and fell into one of the corners of Carters dresser drawer that was pulled out.

Yeah, time for cake!!!

Pigeon Forge trip from Nov.

2010-01-22T08:24:00.000-08:00

Every year we try to go to Pigeon Forge before Christmas with Nana and get as much Christmas finished up as possible. This year I had a goal of getting our Christmas card pictures made while we were there. Wow, it's impossible to get both boys looking and smiling at the same time, but here's some pictures we got...

Carter loves to dance!

Anytime we are in Pigeon Forge Camden has to ride the go-carts. He LOVES them. He rode them for the first time when he was only 19 months old.

Carter and Nana watching Daddy and Camden ride go-carts!

We were only staying one night so I told Joe instead of taking the pack and play we would let Camden sleep with Nana and Carter could sleep with us. Never again, well at least in the next year will we not take the pack and play. Carter has never slept with anyone, he's always slept in his own bed and has been left completley alone and fallen asleep on his own. So this was awhole new adventure for him and he would not go to sleep. He wanted to play, jump, climb ontop of us while running his hands all over our face since it was dark and he couldn't see. I finally had to set up and rock him while forcing him to lay still.

We had a really good time and are already looking forward to next years trip!

Wow, it's been awhile

2009-12-26T19:23:00.000-08:00

It seems like I've not had much time for anything here lately especially for blogging. Now I just need to remember what's happened that's been blog worthy.

Let's start with putting up the tree. When we put up the christmas tree both of the boys LOVED it. After the first presents went under I walked into the living room and Camden was laying on the floor in front of the tree with his arms propping his head up and saying " That's my present, I love my present"
Camden only unwrapped one present before learning he had to wait until xmas and luckily it was in a misc. box. Carter on the other hand was always trying to sneak the presents out from under the tree. There were more presents than not with pieced wrapping paper because of those little hands.
Camden has said he wanted a bike for x-mas ever since our family retreat in August when he rode Emery's big bike. Not only a bike, but a bike, a horn and a ring bell. So of course that's exactly what he got and I think we were more excited about it then he was. He got a really cool bike! Carter's big present was a toy box which he loved. Carter however did not like the whole Santa part of christmas. So we got a cute crying picture of the boys with Santa.

Camden and Ryder have started having some pretty good conversations that are a lot of fun to sit back and listen to. They are also actually starting to play together and not just fight over the toys. Carter's right there with them learning all he can. Car's trying to say everything and he's doing a pretty good job of it. His most used words on his own right now are Momma, Daddy, juice, bite, food, book, sit, yes, no, up, down, bye, those, teeth (when he wants to brush his teeth) diaper, pee-pee and nite-nite. He's starting to tell me sometimes when he needs to go pee-pee by saying "Pee" and grabbing his diaper. When I ask him if he needs to go to the potty he says "Yes" and takes off to the bathroom trying to undress himself. Sometimes he uses the potty and sometimes he has already messed up his diaper, but I'm just excited he knows what the potty is for.

Camden is REALLY into superheros and G.I. Joes. He got the first season of the G.I. Joe cartoons for xmas and loves them. Anyways, he's always jumping around and jumping off the couch saying he's "Superman to the rescue". Well Carter decided yesterday that he wanted to jump off the couch too. Joe and I are not hovering parents as long as it's nothing to crazy, so we're both sitting there watching him stand on the couch inching closer and closer to the edge and then he jumps up and off of the couch. I'm a little tense thinking this isn't going to end good but he's got to learn and what does he do... he lands it, runs around in circles clapping and yelling YEAH!!!
I guess he showed us.

Last thing... Camden got his first black eye. Not a real exciting story but it's still his 1st. He was supposed to be going to bed but instead he put his bean bag over his head and came running into Carter's room where I was getting Car ready for bed. He trips as soon as he makes it through the door and lands the top part of his cheek on the corner of a drawer. He cried and cried and when I finally saw it he had a good purple knot that popped up. He loved putting a ice bag on it and wanted me to leave him in his room so he could sleep with his ice. My mom thinks I'm crazy, but it's a pretty cool looking black eye.

That's all for now until I can upload some xmas pictures.

On the top of the slope getting ready for the long trip down.

2009-11-17T19:04:00.000-08:00

I've got so much to catch up on but I'm so excited about what Carter did tonight that I had to write it down right away. I was getting Carter ready for bed and noticed he had a pretty clean diaper so I sat him on the potty just to get him used to it and he started trying to use the bathroom. He pushed and pushed until he finally did it!!! We were both very excited. When Camden was Carters age we lived with my parents while we were building our house and my Mom had Camden using the potty. I would have never thought to try it that early if it hadn't been for my Mom, but it worked so I thought I would start with Carter. It just amazes me that he knew what to do. Kids really are so much smarter then we give them credit for. Camden is just now to the point that I can say he is now potty trained except for at night time so it's been a long process but now we are on the top of the slope heading down with Carter. Yeah for no diapers one of these days.

Monkey updates

2009-10-20T12:41:00.000-07:00

I woke up this morning to Camden singing through the baby monitor. I wasn't sure what he was singing until I got to his door and then I realized he was singing "Oh why not tonight, Oh why not tonight, Oh why not tonight" over and over again. When I opened up the door he was on the other side of his curtains singing into a maraca looking out the window. When I started singing with him he said " No Momma you don't sing with me".

We were at quilting the other day and Camden always climbs up on a table that is pushed against the wall to draw on a chalk board. Well, Carter wanted up on the table also and started trying to climb up into one of the metal folding chairs by the time I got to him he was already up on the table. Camden tells me "it's okay Momma Carter can draw with me". That's my two little monkeys.

Carter has figured out how to open the cabinets, not only the cabinets but also the child proof cabinet locks. Joe and I can't believe how fast this little boy of ours is growing up. We also just took his pacy away. We were afraid he was starting to get really attached to it so the start of last week I took it away. He didn't miss it except for at nap time and bed time, but even then he did really good. He would cry a little but just after a few minutes he went right to sleep. This past Sunday was our first Church services without it and needless to say this past Sunday was Carter's first trip outside to get spanked for misbehaving. Hopefully it will just get better and better.

Here are some pictures of Carter after getting into the toilet paper one evening while we were hanging out in the living room.

Pumpkin Patch Past '07-'08

2009-10-20T10:57:00.000-07:00

PUMPKIN PATCH 2007

This was our first trip to the Guthrie's Pumpkin Patch. Camden was 9 months old and had some kind of rash on his mouth. I think he got it off of some leaves that he was chewing on while taking some fall pictures at the Mabry's Farm. We had so much fun with him and new this would be an annual trip from then on. Camden had just started standing on his own so I would stand him up then run and try to get a picture before he went to crawling.

PUMPKIN PATCH 2008

Our 2008 visit to the Guthrie's Pumpkin Patch!

Carter was a little over a month old so Nana came with us to help with Carter while we played with Camden.

Camden was and still is in love with tractors. He wanted to drive the tractor so bad but a picture with it would be as close as he would get.

Pumpkin Patch Present '09

2009-10-20T10:00:00.000-07:00

PUMPKIN PATCH 2009

Even though we were freezing we still had a wonderful time on our annual visit to the Guthries Pumpkin Patch in Riceville. We missed sharing this time with our wonderful, sweet Nana but the Gilpins graced us with their presence this year. I'm still hoping that one of these years our schedules will work out so that we can go with Ry-Ry, Kristy and Cody. Maybe next year will be the year.

On the day we went it was 49 degrees outside and the wind was blowing like crazy. Of course the kids didn't mind it to much, but I was freezing. Here are a few pictures from this years visit.

Fall Family Retreat '09

2009-10-17T18:01:00.000-07:00

Camp Wetoga

Fall Family Retreat 2009

We were so excited about the family retreat this year. We always enjoy it, but we were most excited about taking Camden. He's at the age now that he can remember everything. He loved the tent and we had bought him his very own sleeping bag and flashlight. He was really good for us, but it was a little sad because he had no one his age the closest to him was Grey. He loves Grey but Grey was running around with the bigger kids so Camden kept saying "they all weave me Momma." He pouted around quiet a bit until he descovered Emery's bicycle. He LOVED Emery's bike. That's all he did the rest of the weekend was ride her bike. Ever since we got home his new thing is " I like Santa Claus he bring me my bike". Here are a few pictures from this weekend. I don't believe Camden has ever been so dirty.

Also a big Thank You to Grana and Papa for keeping our Carter Bug for us so we could enjoy some time with just Camden.

Oh Wow

2009-09-30T08:56:00.000-07:00

This past Saturday we went to a birthday party that was packed with little kids. Camden and Carter were so good and played really well with everyone. That will make any parent feel good when their kids are playing, sharing and minding very well and especially when the others are not. It let's me know that all the hard work we put into parenting is paying off.
Camden was playing with a little girl and her grandmother was right there so she asked Camden what his name was. Usually I have to prompt Camden to answer but not this time, he tells her "I'm Camden and Oh Wow ha,ha,ha". Joe and I laughed then we had to explain that his name is Camden but his cousin calls him Oh Wow, and Camden adds "Ryder calls me Oh Wow, ha, ha, ha". Camden obviously thinks it's funny that Ryder calls him Oh Wow and we all really hope that's a name that will stick with him. To get the story of how "Oh Wow" came about check out Kristy's blog at http://waitingforryder.blogspot.com/

Terrible Two's

2009-09-30T08:30:00.000-07:00

The terrible two's are starting to get pretty terrible. I'm hoping it's just a faze Camden's going through and will quickly be over. It started this past Friday when just before nap time Camden and Carter went into their rooms playing and then it got quiet. When I went to check on them they had gotten into the bathroom and were both soaked from head to toe including the bathroom floor and walls. Then, I layed Camden down for his nap. I don't think he ever went to sleep, but after about an hour he started banging on his door yelling for me. When I opened the door I found a naked little boy covered in what should have been in his diaper and it was spread throughout his room. Of course I clean up the mess, put him in the bath tub and then lay him back down explaining how he's not supposed to take his diaper off EVER. It was probably an hour and half later he started banging on his door again and yelling for me. When I went to check on him, he had done it AGAIN!!! Oh wow, how mad was I. Joe came and helped clean the mess up this time, thankfully! What a day, but wait it's not over yet! We go to the Gobble's house that night to eat and watch a movie. Camden's been watching his own movies really good for quite awhile so we put Grey and Camden in Terra's room with their own movie. Here comes Grey telling us that Camden has peed on the bed. Sure enough he has taken off his clothes and just peed in Terra's bed. What's up with this??? It happened again yesterday, so I think it's time to let him be able to get to the bathroom at bedtime. I'm not sure if that will help, but it can't hurt! Mom seems to think it's him trying to get attention, so we've got some time coming up that will be spent with just Camden such as the Fall Family Retreat next weekend, Finding Nemo on Ice, and a camping trip in November. Hopefully this will get better as I make a better attempt at giving him the attention he needs. I LOVE my boys, but sometimes I just need a break!

Bunk Beds

2009-09-23T12:55:00.000-07:00

Camden's room includes bunk beds and since we moved him to his big boy room when he was only 18 months old we just recently gave him his ladder. After seeing him playing in the pool and climbing up and down the ladder in the deep end he proved to us that he was big enough to have it. What we didn't take into consideration was that we also have another son. Which until now that hasn't been a problem, but today while cleaning the house I hear Camden saying " Come on Carter, we can play up here" and this is what I found...

Look how proud he is of himself!

So, as soon as Daddy gets home today, I think we will be taking down the ladder for several more months. Poor Camden will not understand why, but it's much better than a broken arm and a trip to emergency room that is bound to happen if it's left up.

1st Birthday Present from Carter

2009-09-22T10:12:00.001-07:00

Carter decided to give Joe and I a present on his birthday. Don't I have some thoughtful boys? The day of the birthday party I had been baking and decorating cakes all day long, and Nana came to help me with the boys. When it came nap time Nana got them both layed down, then she helped me in the kitchen. A little time before the boys got up from their naps Grana came over and got busy helping get everything ready. Luckily we had a lot of help. Camden got up about an hour before the party, and it was almost party time when Joe decided to go get Carter up and get him dressed. I was in the kitchen trying to put the finishing touches on the cakes when we hear Joe yell " Ummm, I need help... bunches of help". We go running into Carter's room to find a diaperless baby with what should have been in his diaper spread all across his bed, stomped into his sheets and blankets and caked (no pun intended) onto his hands, feet and all down his body. I had already given the boys their baths so that we could just put their clothes on them and go out to party, but instead of putting the finishing touches on the cake I was washing one very stinky one year old little boy! Like I said before luckily we had a lot of help because it was 20 minutes before the party was to start, and we had nothing set up out side and we were pulling sheets, bumper pads, and blankets out of Carter's bed and washing off the dirty baby bed.

This was the second time that this has happened. I knew better than to lay him down for a nap in only a diaper but I didn't pass the message along to our sweet Nana. I think everyone that needs to know that very important lesson was there and will not forget it next time.

Oh yeah, Carter was all smiles when we found him playing after his nap!

Dirty little boys!

Big Boy Room

2009-09-22T09:32:00.001-07:00

We put Camden in his big boy bed about two months before Carter was born so he was about 18 months old. He did really good staying in his bed until we brought Carter home. He didn't like that he had to sleep in his room all by himself while Carter slept in our room. He started getting out of bed and coming into our room in the middle of the night, so I would spank him and put him back. Sometimes by the time I crawled back in bed he would be opening our door and we would repeat the process. The spanking wasn't working so I thought I would lock his door and even though he could open his door surley he couldn't unlock it. That might have lasted one night until he figure out how to unlock the door, so we added the door knob covers ontop of locking the door. Did that keep this little boy in his room? NO, it didn't. He figured out how to pop the cover off the knob and there he was back in our room, so as our last resort before going back to the spanking was to turn his door knob around and lock him in from the outside. He has yet to figure out how to stick something in that little hole and unlock it. Ever since then I have to go unlock his door in the morning to let him out and I find him doing all kinds of stuff in the morning.

I believe this was a Thursday morning that we were getting ready to go to quilting. I had already gotten Carter up and ready and went to wake up Camden, who was already up just being very quiet. He had taken off his shorts and got into his pajama drawer and tryed to put on some feeted pajamas. This kind of this is what I walk into almost every morning when I go to get him up. He loves to try to put on his own clothes but this morning he was a little upset because he couldn't get them completley zipped, which is understandable since they were inside out. Never boring in a house with kids.

"What's up dog"

2009-09-22T09:22:00.000-07:00

Camden has always loved hats. Anytime there is one setting around he's got to play with it. The other day I had my Braves hat out and of course Camden was playing with it. Our dog Bella was laying around and Camden thought it would be funny to put it on her. Joe and I were sitting on the couch when we hear Camden laughing and saying " What's up dog" to Bella who has the hat on. We laughed so hard wondering where in the world that came from. It's crazy the things that a two year old can put together all on his own.

What's been going on!

2009-09-22T08:40:00.000-07:00

Let's see... what's been going on with us here lately.

1. The past couple of months when Camden gets really excited about telling us something he's started stuttering. The funny thing about this is he get's so mad and put's his head down and says "I can't talk" then pouts for a little bit. We crack up everytime, it's pretty cute.

2.Carter is learning to communicate with us so well. He's saying parts of words that probably no one else would understand except for us, but it's neat to watch him learn and get excited when we know what he's saying. He's even started calling our beautiful puppy Bella "B" I'm waiting on it to turn into Beya which is what Ryder called her for the longest time.

3. Camden has started "talking back" the past couple of weeks. This is a stage that I hope get's better soon. Notice I said better instead of over soon, I know talking back is something we will always be working on but hopefully not to this extint. It's tiring correcting and punishing him constantly.

I guess that's all the updates for now, at least all that I can think of. I'm sure there will be more to right about very soon!

Signing and climbing

2009-09-15T12:08:00.000-07:00

When I was pregnant with Camden I knew I wanted to teach him a little sign language so he could communicate before he learned to talk. Camden used the signs to tell me he wanted more of something, food, milk, and needed to go potty. It worked really well for us so I've done the same with Carter. He's been using the "more" sign for several months now but this morning when I got him up and layed him in the floor to change his diaper he signed milk. He was so excited when I asked if he wanted milk. He signed it the whole way to the kitchen giggling, which is much better than the screaming that he's been doing until I realize what he's wanting. It's amazing how fast they pick up on things!
Carter has also learned how to climb up on the couch by himself. I am so thankful that we decided to put carpet down instead of hardwood, because he's not quite perfected the art of getting down. He's taken several falls but he's also slid down just as much so it want be long until he has it all figured out.

Starting to talk

2009-09-05T17:57:00.000-07:00

Nana came out on Saturday to help us out by watching the boys while Joe and I did yard work. We got up at 7 a.m. and worked until 8 p.m. and we got so much accomplished.
Nana brought the boys out on the back porch to play while we were working around the pool and in the back yard. We got to hear them laughing and playing with there Nana which they both adore but we also heard Carter say some things that he has said before but this time he was using the words. If he needed his Nana we could hear him yelling in a very deep and raspy voice "Nana". Joe was walking around the pool and he pointed and yelled "Daddy" we were all excited and he even yelled for his Mama at one point. I know he's growing up but it still seems crazy that he's walking and starting to talk. What special and exciting times we have coming our way!

Destin Vacation 2009

2009-09-04T21:05:00.000-07:00

My parents spoil us rotten! If it wasn't for them then we would probably have not been able to take a vacation this year. They rented us an amazing condo in Destin, rented us chairs on the beach for the whole week, bought all the groceries and even cooked. Believe me, I know how blessed I am.
Okay, so Destin is pretty much AWESOME!!! The water is crystal clear the sand is snow white with no shells and most of the time we had no waves. Actually, when we made it into Destin the first thing Camden said when he saw the sand was "look at all that snow". It was perfect for the kids, except for Ryder. There was a little to much sand and water for him! You'll have to read Kristy's blog to get the full effect of Ryders experience. Carter did so much better than I ever expected. I just knew I would have to be digging sand out of his mouth the whole time but he never intentionally put any in his mouth and it was vary rare that it got there by accident.I think all three of the boys loved waking up every morning to a house full of people to share their day with. The boys played and got into everything. Carter was right there in the mix trying his best to keep up with Ryder and Camden. I think he changed so much in that one week. There was one morning that the boys were playing with a basketball goal that hangs on the back of a door and Carter was trying his best to get a turn with it. Finally one of the boys laid it down on the floor and Carter took off after it. He was so excited to finally have his turn that he took off through the condo laughing the whole way and showing everyone what he had. Joe and I were in our room and here he came almost in a run to show it to us.It was so sweet to hear the conversations Cam and Ryder would have. They said some of the funniest things which I can't recall right now but we laughed at them almost non stop except for those times we were spanking them. Which was pretty often. Boys will be boys!

Playing at the beach

2009-09-04T20:28:00.001-07:00

These are some of our pictures from playing at the beach. I had to put one in here of Ryder who did not like the sand, but he could tolerate it by the end of the week.

The older boys brought their kayaks and were a little sad when they realized we had no waves for them to play in.

Isn't he beautiful?

This one too!!!

He loved the "big sandbox"

And he love the ocean.

This net kept this little boy happy!

Beach pictures

2009-09-04T19:52:00.001-07:00

These pictures are not uploading with the best of quality, but oh well. This post is long because I love to many pictures of my sweet, beautiful boys and want to share them.

Spraying all the sand off of Carter with the cold water hose. We went out another day and got these.

Our room and Out and About

2009-09-04T19:22:00.001-07:00

Here are some pictures of the boys hanging out in the room. Little Carter loved wearing Camdens sunglasses and a helmet that we found in one of the closets. He loves making everyone laugh. Also there are some pictures from one of our nights out. We had so much fun!

So the boys LOVE popcorn, but this somehow ended up all over the floor. There was little kernals everywhere!!!

This picture is taken from one of the nights we went out exploring. The boys loved the birds. Camden was all about wanting to hold them and he did, but these pictures crack me up with his expressions.

They had a train that went around the place were we where and of course Camden and Ryder had to ride it. Cam was so excited!

Cams Broken Heart

We have been very busy this week preparing for our trip to Destin. All week long Camden has been asking when we are going to the beach with Grana and Papa. For all of you that do not know, trying to explain to a two year old about time is not the easiest thing to do. With today being Thursday Papa called when he and Grana got home and said they were coming to visit. When they arrived Camden and Joe were out swimming in the pool, cleaning it and Carter and I were inside. Of course Camden had to come inside with Grana and Papa and when Carter spotted them he took off almost in a run. He's getting pretty fast on those feet. I'm not sure if Camden thought it must be beach time since Grana and Papa were there, but when they went to leave he was not happy. He would not give his normal hugs and kisses, he just kept saying "I go with you" and would inch closer and closer to the door. They kept explaining that after tonight he would be with them for a whole week, but that didn't cut it. When he realized they were walking out the door and leaving him with us he got the biggest tears in his eyes and jumped in my lap sobbing. He's never cried to go with anyone before but I guess there's always a first. It was so sad but so sweet. He cried on my shoulder for a good 10 minutes before he finally got down to pick out a movie for us to watch. Papa called to check on him once they got home and said they almost came back in to take him with them even though Grana had to work the next day. I have a feeling that I am going to have a whole lot of unspoiling to do after this week long vacation.

Blame Game has begun!

I knew the day was coming and yesterday was that day. The boys have been going off to each others room playing for a couple of months now which I absolutely love, but when things get quiet then it's time to go check on them. Yesterday they were in Carter's room playing and Joe went to check on them. Joe came out laughing saying that they were both sitting in the floor with the humidifier setting right between Camden's legs trying to get to the water, and when daddy came through the door it startled Camden and he threw his arms up in the air and said " it was Carter". Oh the things these little boys are going to get into together, not to mention Ryder's going to be right there with them.

Cam's 1st Braves Game

2009-08-19T11:27:00.001-07:00

We had such a good time with some wonderful friends going to Camden's 1st Braves game! The Gobble's had planned this trip because it was a homeschool day at the Braves game. The tickets were cheap, they had a Braves player that we could meet, we got to go to the Braves museum and walk on the field. The Richmonds also joined us and it was Leah's 1st game too!

Camden and his best buddy Grey

Joe had to pick up our tickets at the will call window and Camden was by his side not wanting to miss out on anything!

Emma, Camden, Grey and Leah excited to be out of the car and finally at the stadium.

Inside the Braves museum was a train car that the players used to travel on. Camden loves trains so he was having a blast. It took me forever to get him out of it and as soon as I turned my back on him, he was right back in it!

The kids were really excited to get out on the field but Taylor, being the biggest Braves fan that I know was smiling from ear to ear!

This was all the pictures that I was able to get before my battery died, but Taylor and Britt got plenty so I'll have to update this post once I get a copy. I was a little unsure of how Camden would do, but he did so good. He didn't sit in his seat the whole time but he was content in the aisle walking and visiting with our group. We had a blast and are thankful for our wonderful friends for letting us tag along.

What's new

Camden has just started saying the prayer all by himself when we sit down to eat. It's so sweet and Kristy said Ryders started saying it as well. Camden does such a good job, so on his first time praying he prays for Mommy, Daddy, Carter, our food and as he's looking around the table and he points down to the floor and prays for "that thing" and "my playing pow-pow" which is his gun. So, so, sweet, and I know there are going to be some pretty good stories coming from these prayers in the future.
Carter's newest thing is throwing tantrums. I was in the kitchen and Camden and Carter were in the living room playing when I heard Carter get mad and start crying then came bam, bam, bam. When I went to see what was going on, Carter was laying on the floor face first banging his head hard on the floor. Camden never did this but it looks like I'm going to have a temper to break Carter from. Wish me luck!

Here are some pictures I took of Camden when he was 9 months old and I just recently took these of Carter at 10 months old. I think it's so neat how much they look alike.

Thanks to Papa and Grana for catching my mistake, this picture is actually Carter!

The reason for my blogging!

I'm not so good at keeping up with my boys baby book and I'm hoping this might be a little easier. Camden is now 2 1/2 and Carter is 11 months old and it's already hard to recall some of the most priceless times in their little lives. Camden's coming up with some of the funniest sayings and Carter's not yet talking, but took off walking about a month ago. I'm hoping I will keep up with this blog so that when these priceless moments occur I'll have them documented from now on!

My two beautiful boys at Easter!

We defiantly need some updated pictures of the two of them together, which is not the easiest thing to get!
