Pink or Blue?????

Welcome to the GENDER REVEAL! We are so excited! This was our second appointment trying to find out the gender. Monday (6/27/11) baby #2 would not uncross his/her legs. So, we went home not knowing. Then today I had my regular visit, so I pretty much begged for another sonogram. Luckily the tech was the same one we had with Cameron. She knows us well and was more than happy to let us come it at 4:55 p.m. Here are the pictures :)

Look at those tiny toes! I am in love!

Baby's face :)

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I kept telling everyone that I truly did not care about the gender. After a 2 week NICU stay with Cameron- all we want is a healthy baby. We are so excited- pink and purple here we come! Thank you Lord for all the many blessings in my life!

My Swimmer!

I can officially say Cameron knows how to swim! Now, I taught him 2 summers ago and each year since he has remembered how. The first summer he wore a float, but jumped in the deep end and went under water. Last summer he never wore a float and could dive for rings and such but never could keep a float in the deep end. This year the kid can swim all over the pool anywhere! I am such a proud mommy! I am so happy my baby is a swimmer like his mama and daddy are! Let's hope baby #2 likes the water too!

Excuse the wind! Ha!

The New Bathroom!

I can't stand wallpaper! As I am sure you know, we share a house with my mom. I don't say "live with" because oh-we pay our fair share of bills, that's for sure! So when my father passed away he left my mom in a huge empty house :( She doesn't need to be alone. SO- we are here! Anyways, this house is huge, but still has wallpaper in some places. I HAVE to get rid of it! Phase one was the hall bathroom!

See the horrid wallpaper??

Yep- Horrible!

Ta-Da!

I just love it!

I love this color! It is bold and wild like me!

Project one- check! Next- Entry way!

Costumes, Costumes, Costumes!

Costumes have been such a big thing for Cameron since he turned two. We have accumulated a serious amount of costumes. Every day Cameron will pull out the bucket and start getting dressed :)

This is all within one hour.

I have NO idea what this costume is...

Spiderman #2

Pirate?

Army Guy- Note the serious face. HA!

Police Man

My camera died and that was NOT the end of the Costume Fashion Show. However, you get the drift :)

Baby #2 Heartbeat

On 6/1/2011 I heard baby #2's heartbeat for the very first time. How comforting! It was very clear and beating at 141 bpm! What an amazing little sound. I forgot (in almost 5 years) how amazing it is to hear that little noise. I am already head over heals :)

My Little Fish

I am so grateful that Cameron loves the water. Since he was a tiny newborn he has loved the water as much as Van and I. That is a good thing because we spend all summer and half of fall (because Texas is so wonderfully hot) in the water. I can only pray our next child is just as water friendly! Last summer (Cameron was 3) I taught him how to swim underwater, find diving sticks, and jump in the water! This summer he is a blast!

Going under!

I sure am a lucky Gal!

Jumping in!!!

This child makes my heart swoon :)

Dinosaurs Unleashed!

After seeing the billboard for the Dinosaurs Unleashed at the Fort Worth Zoo, I knew we HAD to take Cameron. Since he was tiny, he has been obsessed with dinos. I know boys like dinosaurs, but this kid LOVES them. Of all the toys he has ever had, the only thing to make the cut year after year, is the LARGE amount of dinosaurs Cameron has. At the Zoo, the dinosaurs moved and growled. Cameron was hesitant at first, but fell in love with every one we saw. It was by far the most fun zoo trip we have taken. I believe he was just the right age!

The first dino encounter! HA!

We really had a great time! Cameron carried the map the ENTIRE time (thanks Dora) to make sure we were going the right way:) I believe the map is in almost ALL of the pictures!
