Cameron Happenings

Sorry that it has been so long since I've posted any photos. I thought I would include some photos of what Cameron has been up to so far this summer (and some of his new favorite activities.)

He LOVES to color! (I think we have decided that he is a lefty) He will color for quite a long time and loves to color a few lines on each coloring page using every color. (

In this photo I happened to be working at the dining room table when he joined me and starting coloring on the newspaper.

If you haven't yet heard, Cameron is CRAZY about swimming. He just finished his second swim class which was for children 2 and a half or older. Cameron was the youngest in the class. He had to swim with an instructor and 2 other children. He cried for the first week of classes but did really well during the second week. He has no problem jumping in and loves to swim under water. He's a really good swimmer for his age :)

Here's Cameron waiting for his turn in the water

We have been busy attending birthday parties over the past two weeks. We had one last weekend and 2 today and then a few more at the end of the month.

It's a GIRL!!!

Charles and I were thrilled to find out last week that we will be having a girl!! Her name will be Olivia Kathleen (Kathleen is my middle name) and my due date is November 13. We surprised my parents with the news by having a cake decorated.

2nd Annual Nashville Trip

On Mothers Day Cameron and I flew to Nashville, TN to visit one of my very good friends, Kelli who lives there with her husband, Charlie and son Weston who is about 6 months older than Cameron. This was our second trip as we went to visit her last June also. I was hoping that since the boys were a year older they would get along better and they definitely did. We really had a nice time, just relaxing and visiting since last year we did all the sight-seeing.

Giving hugs :)

Peek-a-boo

Playing house

Cam loved this little car! So cute!

I put these gloves on him and he loved them! He wore them for about 20 minutes and wanted to touch everything while wearing them. Think I definitely need to purchase a pair for him to wear while helping Charles in the yard.

Cameron riding Weston's tractor. It's just like the one he has minus the pull-behind trailer.

One of the days in TN we went strawberry picking. Cameron had a great time and was such a big helper by carrying the basket and picking strawberries.

Another day we took a trip to the Nashville Zoo. We went last year but the boys had so much fun that we decided to go again this year. I was glad we did as Cameron loves animals and had a blast.

Cam and I by the elephants

Cam's favorite part was the petting zoo, of course. They had a whole bunch of goats out for the kids to pet and Cam had to pet EVERY. ONE. TWICE :) He's such an animal lover.

Cam and Weston. I couldn't get a good picture of them both as Cam was too busy running back and forth petting them all.

Giving the goat a hug....... his hugs just melt my heart

Beach Weekend

Last month Charles, Cameron and I took a weekend trip to St. Augustine where we went camping on the beach. We stayed at a really nice campground just off the beach and had a great time. Cameron, our little water bug, loved the ocean, which was no surprise to us. Even though the wind was a little chilly and the water was freezing Cameron had no problem getting wet.

The whole family :)

Playing in the sand

Charles was such a great dad, chasing Cameron all through the water. It was too cold for me to get in!

Love this photo :)

Cameron and Emmett

Thought I would post a few pictures that I had of Cameron and Emmett, my nephew. I was disappointed that I didn't take more photos while my sister and her family were visiting because these photos are just too cute!

Thought this was a cute photo of Emmett. It was his 1st birthday!

Taking a break from playing outside :)

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter with my family and were so blessed to be with my sister & her family who were visiting from Oregon. We also were able to spend the day with my aunts, uncles and cousins who all came to my parents house from out of town.
