A Tight Fit

Camden managed to climb into and lie down in Madison's baby doll bed. I suppose he wanted to snuggle down with
a good book in a cozy little spot.







Madison had to get in on the action too so she climbed in herself. I'm still not quite sure how they both climbed into that
tiny plastic framed bed without breaking it.

Aren't they cute when they're clean?

A Road Trip and Camden's Birthday Party

Brian, Camden and I loaded up the trusty ol' Yukon and began the typically 11 hour trip to Levelland to visit my parents and celebrate Camden's birthday. A few hours into the trip we received several phone calls telling us that we shouldn't come because of the snow and icy conditions that were forming there. After discussing our options we decided to brave the weather and press on. Our planned 11 hour trip quickly turned into a 14 hour trip when the "trusty" ol' Yukon had a hose disconnect from the transmission which left us stranded on the side of the road awaiting a tow into Post where Brian was thankfully able to fix the problem (which came back to haunt us) with my Dad's over the phone help.

Anyway...

We had Camden's second birthday party on Saturday afternoon. We were so thankful that so many of our friends and family braved the cold weather and muddy road out to my parent's house to help us celebrate. Camden had a Yo Gabba Gabba party complete with a custom cake made by my BFF Zak and oodles of decorations and balloons. Camden had a blast!!

Personal Playground

Camden and I have taken full advantage of the beautiful weather this week and have spent oodles of time outside. He has recently fell in love with his swing set. He always liked it before but plays with it almost nonstop if we're in the backyard. I think he likes that he can climb, jump, sing, hang and slide all by himself.







He loves going to the park but enjoys his personal playground that's right in his own backyard. Mommy does too, no driving required and its always open and free of other kids. :)

It's Party Time

Jake is Katie's (my dear friend from college) son who is just three day younger than Camden. She and I have already decided they need to be best friends. Jake's birthday party was this past weekend at one of the indoor jumping party rooms. We jumped, slid and ran in circles before having pizza, cake and punch.
We all had a great time...especially Camden!

Happy Birthday Camden

It is official...my baby boy is two!



It is near impossible to believe that just two short years ago Brian and I traveled from Levelland to Lubbock and to be checked into the hospital for Camden's induction. He was stubborn and did things on in his own time even before he was born.



We welcomed our precious baby boy into our family on January 24th of 2008 and our lives have never been the same. I can't imagine my life or our family without him. He is truly our little blessing from God and continues to bring joy to our lives everyday.
Happy Birthday Camden!

Off Of Work-Off To The Park

Brian had today off of work and we took full advantage of that fact, and the beautiful weather, and headed out to the park.
We're always in search of new, clean and fun places to play and managed to find a winner.







We ventured out to Challenger Seven Park which was named in memory of the astronauts who lost their lives in the Challenger explosion in 1986. It is by far one of the nicest and largest parks that we've been to. There were multiple covered climbing structures, swings, picnic tables, nature trails, lakes,
boardwalks, fishing areas and a memorial.







Camden loved playing and wanted to swing the second he got out of the car. He climbed up and down the play structures, slid down the slides, swung on the swings, tackled the monkey bars, bounced on the see-saw and picked up hand fulls of rocks. After we played we found a picnic table amongst the trees and had lunch before walking around one of the small ponds where we watched the fish swim.



We all had a wonderful morning together!
