Easter 2011

Easter was lovely this year! Cameron was at a fun age and was able to take in ALL of Easter. We started out at Sunday School, followed by a wonderful service, then home to eat a great lunch! It was fun!!

Here Comes Peter Cottontail...

My Child will be the one who has a decorated holiday vest for EVERY holiday.... I have no idea where he gets that from. :) Cameron is obsessed with holidays. Christmas is the worst, so far. He will cry to put up the tree, begs to watch the Grinch everyday and sings all the holidays songs constantly. However, the past few weeks have been Easter. We have been hunting eggs since April 5th. I finally had to put it all away and say- STOP and wait for Easter. Although he did manage to keep one thing..

I Love My "Moffa"

This may be one of the craziest posts ever, but I had to get it recorded to show Cameron when he is grown. Cameron loves bugs. Like really loves them. On Sunday he found a Moth in his room and ran out need something to catch it in. Once we got him a Tupperware, the moth had flown away, or he should have. After all day of listening to Cameron cry for the moth, he was no where to be found. On Monday Cameron comes running out of his room yelling, "I found my moffa, I found my moffa!" So Cameron took the moth hostage and played with him all day. Ok this is where I should have stepped in but I couldn't do it! The moth had died sometime Monday and so Cameron was playing with it, taking it out, wanting a snack for it... yeah. So, Monday night after Cameron and "Moffa" are fast asleep Van crept in there and stole moffa. What a sweet daddy- he wan outside & captured another moth!

We put the New moffa back on Cameron's pillow and cracked up. Kids amaze me. Funny thing is on Tuesday the new moffa got away and he was fine. HA!

Mr. Potato Head

Everyday I see something Cameron does that makes my heart smile... this was one of them! Can you guess who he is?

Well, if you guessed Mr. Potato Head, you WIN!

Spring Has Sprung!

I love planting flowers. Well, let me rephrase. I love watching Van plant flowers! We made our annual Spring has Sprung rip to Lowe's and loaded up on flat after flat of pretty flowers! Cameron was more than happy to hold All the flats for his mom and dad ;)

Spring Break Blast

Spring Break was a blast... after the E.R. visit. We had planned a Sea World trip that fell through. BUMMER. We had a "Staycation." First we went to Lake Granbury and went fishing. This is where the "idea" sparked... Fishing was nice though. Cameron always enjoys fishing!

While fishing, Van and I had a wild idea to go camping. I was thinking 20 minutes away at Tres Rios in Glen Rose. Van was on a different page... So, we headed to Turner Falls, OK. BOy was it an adventure...

We didn't leave until way too late in the afternoon. Once we got there we had about 2 hours until total darkness. We found a spot, got the tent up (yes, I said tent) and got the fire going. We ate hot dogs and then it was 7:00p.m... and pitch black. So, we watched Veggie Tales on the Mac in the tent! HA! After a very long night, or short I guess, Van and I finally could not go back to sleep at about 3:30 am. We were sore, sleepy and ready to go! So, we put Cameron in the car, packed up our camp and headed to IHOP. (HA!) After a few hours of waiting for daylight, we finally got out and looked around the camp grounds. It was very pretty. (MENTAL NOTE: I will be RENTING to cabin next time!!!!!!) We drove home and went to bed :) We totally want to go again with cabins and other people :) Cameron loved it though!

After a couple days at home we went to Glen Rose to see the Dino Valley State park. It was pretty nest. Cameron is SO dino crazed that he just knew the dinos were going to come walking around the corner any minute! So cute!

A Real Dino Foot Print!

By then end we were pleased. Cameron had a great spring break and so did we. Van's vacation was a blast! The camping trip should have been sent into America's Funniest Home Movies. It was insane :)

Spring Break E.R. Visit

Spring break is here! Van took vacation the Thursday and Friday before Cameron's spring break and Monday through Wednesday of Cameron's actual spring break. WELL... on Friday night we woke Cameron up to go to the bathroom. On his way back to bed, he made a pit stop at my bed. When he was "rolling" off my bed, he fell and slammed his ear on the bedside table. Not good. I was in the other room and heard the most horrid screaming! (*Note that it was 11:00 p.m.) I ran in and saw blood everywhere and Van holding Cameron. It was our first trip to the Emergency Room with Cameron. Thank goodness it hasn't happened already, because my baby boy inherited BOTH of his parents' clumsiness. The doctor tried to "glue it" but decided on stitches... with no anesthetic. My poor baby :(

This is his "cracked" ear, as he called it.

Not a happy camper!

First stitches, all two of them!

His ear is healing nicely though I am dreading the doctor visit on Friday when they take the stitches out.
