Life through Cameron's eyes

Cameron had a firld trip yesterday to a local resturant. The owners have a son in Cameron's preschool class. He has been begging to use my camera a lot lately, so I decided he could use it at the restaurant with his friends. So the following is his recount of the day.

Today I got to go to Tyler's mom and dad's restaurant called Indigo Joe's. We got to sit where ever we wanted. Rachael sat with us. She has a baby brother like I do. I like Rachael. We looked in the kitchen and watched them cook our food, it was neat. The freezer was big, and really cold in there, I would be scared if the door shut me in there. We got to fill up our glasses with what ever we wanted to drink, that was cool, cause I got to have a soda! Then we got to eat our food, I got chicken strips and french fries. I had a fun time. Mom let me use her camera and took some pictures of my friends.


Mom took some of these too.

Here is Rachael and her little brother Caleb

I'm trying to see up my nose, and my teeth, cool!

So that was Cameron's post for his day. He thinks he is pretty special for getting to put it all on the Computer. I thought I would also put up a couple of Cameronisms also.

Cameron: Mom can you sit here and watch a movie with me?
Mom: Sure what do you want to watch?
Cameron: I don't know, I guess just find a rated R one that we can watch.
Mom: ??????

Cameron: Mom, I'm not going to say shut up or stupid while I stay at Nana's house tonight, OK.
Mom: That sounds good, please be on your best behavior.
Cameron: I know Mom
Mom: and please use your what?
Cameron: (blank stare)
Mom: It starts with a M, (me making the mmmmmm sound)
Cameron: Mayonaise?

How dare you Mom!!!

So many of you know that Cooper has a blankie that he goes nowhere without it. So today was laundry day and I tried to sneak it into the washer, but failed! He some how saw it go in and then the full on fit started. He kicked and screamed, threw his binkie over and over, pulled all the CD's off the shelf, tried to climb up the washer to get it, and cried to the point of sobbing. Yikes it was ugly. Once I got him calmed down and distracted doing something else he still did that hiccuping sob for about 5 mins. It was kind of sad, but not sad enough for mom to not take pictures of it! Hehehe.

Then once it was all clean and dry I called him into my room to get it, he was so excited!

All is well in the world again.....

Happy 6th Birthday Makenna!

We went to Boulder this last weekend to celebrate our niece's 6th birthday at Chuckie Cheese. The older boys went up early with grandma and grandpa since Tim had to do the soundboard at church. Once he was finished we headed up there with Cooper. The kids always have a great time there. Cooper was a big bear though, as he was still recovering from the croup and a possible ear infection, so I did not get to take a lot of pictures. But here are a few.

Cooper loves skee ball, except he thinks he needs to climb up it to chase after the ball he just threw.

My little cowboy! He loved, loved, loved the horse!

Poor Spencer the girl in front of him just won the jackpot of tickets!

Happy Birthday Makenna!!!! We love you sweetie!

Thanks Hayley!

So last night I decided to try a new recipe that my friend Hayley suggested. It is called sticky chicken. So I got out a package of chicken wings and cut them up to make little drumsticks and wings(she says you can use any type of chicken) Salt and pepper (I added some garlic salt) the chicken really well and roll it in brown sugar. Put it in the oven and bake it at 350 till chicken is done. It comes by its name honestly, it will be sticky, but oh so good. So thanks Hayley for the yummy idea and for it being easy!

Cameron's face afterwards, he must of ate ten of those things!

Just some random pics and updates...

Well these past few days have been a little long. Cooper has come down with croup. It is a nasty bug for such a little guy to get. The coughing is horrible but the wheezing is just plain scary. I was very happy to hear from the doctor that he was in no real danger of his air way completely closing, thank God, still scary to hear though. He seems to be doing a little bit better today, but still has his episodes here and there. I have been running 2 humidifiers in his room to keep it moist in there and cooler. That seems to be helping the most.

Cameron seems to be going through a growth spurt lately. All his pants are getting to short. He got a hair cut last weekend and we cut off all his curls. He looks so different but it is so much nicer combing his hair for school in the mornings. He has turned into the one that I really have to keep an eye on, his has gotten just down right ornery lately!

Spencer is doing great in school. He got some new books from Papa bill for Christmas and he has already finished them all. I love that he has fallen in love with reading. He still can be a bugger getting him to start the book but once he does he won't put it down till he finishes. He is still so active in his Cub Scouts and has started Awanna's at church on Wednesday nights.

So as you see we are just as busy as ever around here. Hope all is well with each of you!

Look at those dark circles under his eyes, poor baby.

Growing up....

Cooper is getting so good at feeding himself. I can pretty much give him his food and a fork or spoon and he goes to town. He has less patience when he is really hungry, he just shovels it in with his hands, but most of the time he likes his utensils.

He has really started talking more and more in just the past couple weeks. So I guess what I'm saying is.........My little baby is growing up into my little boy. (Boohoo!)

Awhhh how cute.....

Tim and Cameron were playing their guitars together the other night and I thought it was so cute.

Here are a couple extra cute pictures

Who says cat and dogs don't get along? Look they are spooning!

They are doing the same strech here......awhhh

Happy New Year!

I just want to take a moment to wish you all a very happy and healthy 2009! May God bless you in all that you do, and may he bring many blessings to you and your families!

Here are just a few pictures from New Years Eve with a few friends.

I asked Lisa and Jim to scoot closer for a picture and this is what they did. Funny! But you can see Tim and Eric in the background at least.

The next morning cleaning up and taking down decorations, I had a "helper".
