Birthday Boy!!!

A little birthday breakfast

So tonight we had Cam's favorites...spaghetti and corn. Then we went on to his own personal cake. Well Cam was NOT interested in getting dirty as you can see he was a little upset that we put his hands and face in it. I actually ended up feeding it to him with a FORK! Who's kid is this...who doesn't love cake and want to eat it face first??? Anyways, he liked it after I started to feed it to him. Then we opened presents. He LOVED that part! It was a great day...Happy Birthday Cam!
Blowin out the candle!

Not so happy with us getting him dirty!

The end result

Emerson loved the cake!

Breckyn made all the decorations for the party tonight

Present Time!

Loved the tool belt grandma! Thanks!

Happy Birthday Camden!

I am still here...

Sorry I have been slacking on the blog my sister Jodi and her family moved home to Wisconsin this past weekend and we have been doing nothing but working on their new house. We are doing everything from painting, to ripping out tile and putting in wood floors, painting cabinets, putting in new light fixtures, and new carpet to say just a few! So I am WAY tired the last couple of days and haven't taken any pictures. But today we did have an incident with the boys that was pretty funny...Cam was getting a little crabby down stairs and so Jodi and I went down to see what was up. Soon Emerson came down stairs with a little white paint on his hands. Then we decided to go upstairs to check it out....the door was shut and so we opened it to find....Max and Rugby COVERED in white paint from head to toe! The walls were dripping, the outlets were full, the molding was covered, the carpet, and of course both of their shirts and pants and faces and hands! We were both really mad but couldn't help but laugh when the boys had a terrified deer in head lights look! All Jodi had to say was...good thing we are replacing the carpet I don't think that would have been my reaction if that was Cam but then again it was pretty funny! You gotta love boys! (Yeah Beth you should be glad you have 2 girls)

I scream...you scream...we all scream for...ICECREAM!!!

Grandpa couldn't resist today while we were at Sam's Club to get Cam his first cup of icecream. At first he wasn't so sure....

then he wanted more PRONTO!!!

Thanks grandpa!

Long Lost Brothers...

Maybe Charlie and Cam are long lost brothers...Cam likes to hang out under the table and especially to beg food from us! (This is Chris eating dinner the other night) Maybe you should come and visit Julia so they can finally meet....just an idea (we love visitors)

Under the kitchen table is now Cam's new favorite hiding place. He takes anything he's not suppose to have and scoots on over under the table like I can't find him! It's pretty funny!

Chris says that his nose is "finally good

for something"...tickling Camsmile!

Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles!!!

Sometimes when you are sick it's good to start and end the day with a warm bath with lots of bubbles! Who doesn't love a great bath....

well Cam wasn't really into another bath so....

getting better.....
LOVIN' it!

Point proven!

Still Sick...

Here's my sick pale baby! He went for a second round of sickness today!

I can't wait to get out of the house!!!

Cam thinks that EVERYTHING is fare game to climb on

(toys, end table, chair, stairs, etc)!

Why not play with it and on it?!?!

Let it Snow....

Cam is really sick with the flu today so I thought I would spare you all from any pictures of that. These pictures of him are from the other day. I was a little bored so I thought I would take a picture of what it looks like outside our window today. It doesn't do it justice since it looks just like a snow globe but it will do. This is the kind of day it's nice to stay inside and watch movies (or clean up after a sick kid). I love the snow (when I am not in it!)

Are you sure it's all gone???

Takin a little snoozer!

Packer Fans take it a step to far!!!

My mom and I were at the store yesterday looking for stuff for my sisters new house and we saw this nasty recliner! Yeah it's really just as nasty in person. I didn't see it until later but there is a matching kids recliner just like this one! Yikes!

Go Packers!

What do you want mom?

(check out that dimple!)

Bed Time...

Cam and I were a little bored without
Chris tonight (he's at basketball)

Cam loves to smack his lips after he eats!

Joggin' fools!

Smile! So after yesterday's treadmilling disaster I thought it would be a great idea to get Chris to go jogging with me outside. Well we realized that it got REALLY cold here last night but we thought we would try it anyways. Here are some pictures of Cam "enjoying" every minute of it! Actually after he was in his hat, mittens, coat, shoes, blanket, and another blanket over the top of the stroller he wasn't to cold. He was really funny because we put him in and he didn't move an inch the entire time (I don't think that he physically could)! So after all the dressing and undressing I'm think that the treadmill isn't so bad after all! Maybe I will get good at dodging Cam's toys!

Snack Time!

Is it worth it???

So now that Cam is getting to be a "big boy" and only taking 1 nap a day he is up when I excercise in the morning. Well as you all know he LOVES to throw things through the fence we put up around the treadmill to try to get me. Today was no different. After I "talked" him out of pushing the emergency shut off button (at the bottom of the treadmill) he started his daily festivities....one toy... then the next...then the next....well by the time that 5 minutes had gone by I had 4 toys, a remote, and a ball thrown at me. By this point is when I start thinking is it really that bad if I am chubby for the rest of my life? Is it worth all the effort of putting all these blockades and toys in the family room I have to move in and out every time....

Chubby isn't lookin so bad today!!!

Happy Belated Birthday Gracie!!!

Sorry that we didn't post anything yesterday I was busy taking Cam to the doctors because we thought he broke his leg. It's a long story but he is ok he just bruised the bone and he stands like a pirate now with one leg up in the air unless you hold him up! Yikes! Anyways we are sorry we missed it! Love you!!!

Thanks Cheri!

This is Cam's first BYU t-shirt! He's lookin pretty darn cute
(I think I have a new favorite shirt!)

You can't see it but he's holding his left leg up (my little pirate!)

La La La La....Camdens World!!!

So today when I was at Leca's house she told me to take home some videos for Cam. Well we tried Elmo's world after dinner and I think you can tell his reaction! He LOVED it! He was totally oblivious to Chris and I. Tomorrow we're going to try Blues Clues Musical. Thank you thank you Leca!

Cam's Top 10 New Discoveries...

So now that Cam is getting older he is starting to do all kinds of "cute" things!
1. If he does the baby noodle (go limp and squirm) in his stroller he can get out the bottom around make a get away
2. If he closes the doors on the entertainment center Mommy quickly ends her jog
3. If he gets in trouble just make mommy smile with a "ma ma" and a wave
4. If mommy leaves the room just WALK and try to get to her (yeah otherwise he doesn't walk very much)
5. If I don't want to take a nap I scream my guts out until mommy comes and rocks me to sleep
6. If I go AAAHHH on the country roads my voice makes a cool noise all the way to Elkhorn!
7. If you want you can test me but I can get into any cupboard or closet (just try me)
8. I can throw all kids of toys through the gate at my mom while she jogs!

9. If I eat all my food then mommy will let me eat my body weight in grapes (they're his new favorites)!

10. If he pushes the "play" button on his phone he can hear grandma's recording....over...and...over...and...over....!

Don't ya just love motherhood???

He is definately a BOY...

Today Cam figured out how to get his shirt off all by himself! My reaction is "Cam don't take your shirt off" and then Chris comes into the room and says "That's my boy!" Yeah I'm in for it! I think I need a little girl or something to help with the "man" vibe in my house lately!!!

USC fan in training!

I forgot to post my boys ready for the

big game this past Monday! Go USC!
