Cam's 2nd lost tooth-July 15th

Within 1 week, Camden lost his second tooth-toothfairy better remember-hopefully she has change

Sleeping-July 14th

Cam usually goes thru phases on which stuffed animal or such to sleep with. Well, lately it has been Woody. He said that Woody helps protect him and keeps him safe and that he can also arrest any burglars that try to break in-cause he is a sheriff mom (is what he said) So, I thought it was so adorable that he was actually holding him so close and for such a long time-it was past ten by this time. So cute-growing up too fast.

Chess like Gerry's Game-July 13th

It was so funny. Well, both boys love to play chess-Dave taught them well. I still have not been taught. But, I walk into the living room after getting my shower and Bay has dad's work glasses on playing chess by himself. I asked what he was doing. He said he was playing by himself like Gerry does (A Bug's Life) and he was using the work glasses like Gerry uses glasses. Then Camden wanted in on the action. It was freakin' hilarious!!!What vivid imaginations they have.

So far behind

Yes, again I have neglected my blog-hoping this will change soon-like when school starts. The boys already complain I am on the computer too much so at least when they are in school, I will not feel guilty. I tell them it is about them but they are stubborn-like someone I know. So, here are just a few pics and entries..hoping to come back later and fully journal

A Great Sunday

Yesterday we had such a great day as a family. After church, we came home and Dave BBQ'd some juicy burgers with melted mozzarella cheese. We also had a delicious red potato salad with dill and Baked lays. Yummy!!!! Ofcourse I skipped the potato salad (did have a bite-so good) and had a bowl of strawberries. I have been practically living off strawberries this summer. What am I going to do when the season is over? No more stopping on the way home from swim at the little stand and picking up a flat of them.Which delicious fruit is next in season? I am already freaking out-I love strawberries!!! I think we will be hitting the Clovis Farmers Market this week and buying up some yummy goodies. Better find out when it is...

Ok, went a little off the subject. After we ate, we came inside-cause I was sweating pretty badly and Camden had invited us to his room for desserts and game time. It was so adorable. So, we went to his room and they had Hostess chocolate cupcakes for dessert and we played Yahtzee, Uno and Pictureka for like 2 hours. It was so nice just "being " a family. Time just flew by. Before we knew it, it was almost 3:45. Well, then we kind of went our seperate ways for a while. I, ofcourse started making some cards, Dave started playing his XBOX and the boys watched and reenacted what game daddy was playing. Still full from lunch, we just sort of snacked for dinner and before we knew it, it was the boys bedtime. Another great day!!I love my family!

Camden's First Lost Tooth

I cannot believe my "baby" lost his very first tooth. It seems like just yesterday he was getting his first teeth in. Time flies-it is bittersweet. Sad to know he is my last and there is nothing to be done about that. But so proud of how he is growing and maturing. He is my little helper. Always wanting to help-such a kind heart on this one. Now when he smiles, I am reminded just how fast he is growing. I am pretty happy that tooth is out. He has been tormenting me for a week with that nasty bloody thing. I can deal with poop messes, throw up, bugs, etc but something about the mouth just totally grosses me out. I literally gag and he loves it-it was torture but no more. Well, not until he has another loose one. Hopefully the Tooth Fairy will be on her game tonight. I am all out of excuses.

Zoo and Storyland-July 2nd

I will journal later

Zoo and Storyland-July 2nd

Just a few pics-be back later to journal

Buzz Lightyear-July 1st

After bath time, I was trying to get them to settle down so I put on Toy Story 2-one of Camden's favorite movies. Cam also has a few of the toys that go along with the movie so we got those out to play with.She loved Buzz. She would not let him go. She talked to him and after she tucked Jesse into the little sleeping bag, I think she started singing nigh night to Buzz. It was pretty cute.

Bath time-July 1st

I will let the pictures speak for themselves

The Chase is On

It was so funny watching them chase each other around the living room. Taylor would catch them and then let them go and chase the other one and so on and so forth. It was funny-the boys would be close to catching her and she would play dead. Then she would open her eyes and scream and chase them again. So funny. They were all laughing so hard-well, it was definitely bath time after that game.

Carrying Taylor-July 1st

No words really needed. Cam loves carrying her around-well when she allows it.

Coloring-July 1st

After the toys,, we decided to color pictures. She loved picking out the colors and putting them where she wanted. They all 3 colored for quite a while-which was great considering I needed to start dinner. I had 3 hungry little monkeys. They also scarfed all their dinner. We had Mickey Mouse shaped chicken nuggets, peas and mac n cheese. You would have thought they had not eaten all day.

How Many toys can we play with? July 1st

I guess there was just so much to see and so many new undiscovered toys that it was hard to decide what to play with. So we tried almost all. We played with sea animals, farm animals, blocks, cars, books, big magnetic things, walkie talkies and what not. She was so good at cleaning up though. I wish my kids did that.

Giving Hugs-July 1st

It was so funny. I tried to get Taylor to sit by great grandma for a pic but since she does not know her, she wanted none of that. So, on grandmas way out the door, the boys ran up to give her good bye hugs and all of a sudden Taylor had to get on in the action. It was great. Great grandma got a hug and I got a pic-even though its not the best. One of those moments when I did not know it was going to happen-lesson learned-ALWAYS BE PREPARED!!

Reading with Great Grandma

Great Grandma came over for a little while and watched the kids swim in the pool and then we came inside and Camden read her a few books. Bay also wanted in on the action so he started reading a book to Taylor. Very sweet. Love those boys!!

Pool Time-July 1st

Here are a few pics of the kids playing in the little pool. Taylor could hardly climb in and out of it but she tried with all her might. She loved the yellow fish we had in the water and tried so hard to stand on it to surf. So cute. The boys did such a great job with her. She defintely knows what she wants and lets you know. Camden asked me how come I let her get her way alot of the time. I said because she is our guest and all of our toys are new to her. Well, that worked, don't know how long till I get a rebuttle. But it is so fun watching the cousins play together. I wish we lived closer so they could really know each other and see each other more. Maybe we can do this again next summer.

Piano Recital-July 1st

Just a few pics-she LOVES the piano. She loved to hit the keys and sing a song only she knew the words to. It was adorable. And let me say the concert went on for 35 minutes-until mean Auntie closed the lid.
