6/30 ~ Cameron had his first dentist appointment today. He did excellent. He went into a little room that had toys and windows and a full glass wall that looked out into the larger area where other dental hygienists were working.

The first visit was to get Cameron acquainted with the office and the idea of someone looking at his teeth. Dr. Offutt came in and looked at Cameron's teeth and his front chipped tooth. He said he was 99% sure that we didn't have anything to worry about with the chipped tooth unless we had problems later. He also was VERY pleased at how clean Cameron's teeth and gums were. He said we must be doing a good job. It's nice to get a compliment like that every once in a while. Cameron will go back in 6 months for a check-up and his first cleaning. Let's keep our fingers crossed that everything is as perfect then.

6/29 ~ Bo-Bo...Cameron has his first major (kind of) bo-bo. Cameron took a dive into one of Nana's flower pots on Sunday afternoon. He made a pretty loud thud and we all jumped up. Here he is with his band-aid on his chin. Surprisingly he left the band-aid on, unlike other times he has had band-aids.




6/25 ~ Today I got a few tomatoes from Christy's garden. Christy is a dear friend and whose daughter, Eleanor, Cameron loves to play with. Christy also has a daughter who they named Barbara - not after me though. Cameron and I LOVE tomatoes and we enjoyed them immensely. Since this picture I received a few more. Don't they just look yummy?!?

Up-To-Date...Finally

6/19 ~ In the last few weeks I, along with Michael's help yesterday, have spread 2 full yards of dirt. For those unfamiliar with a yard of dirt...it is about 2/3 of a regular truck bed full of dirt. So that's 2 truckloads full of dirt. The dirt was needed to fill in the holes and trenches our lovely dogs dug over the last year in our backyard and in preparation for grass. Today I picked up a pallet of fresh grass. Along with Gary (father-in-law), Bobby (friend) and Cameron, we managed to get it placed in the backyard. Without their help I would still be hauling dirt well into the evening.

Afterwards, Cameron was quite pooped. He managed enough energy to eat most of his lunch but couldn't stay asleep any longer.




6/13 ~ Cameron on his first 4 wheeler ride. We were at some wonderful friends, Angela & Joe's, for their son, Brandon's, 1st birthday. Cameron doesn't look to excited here because it was such a HOT day but he enjoyed himself.




6/5 ~ We went to the blueberry farm with some friends. Here's Cameron with his bucket and here's are yummy 5 lbs. of blueberries. They are frozen in the freezer just waiting to be enjoyed.


5/31 ~ Michael cutting holes in our ceiling??? It was for a good cause - Michael, his parents and I were finally able to install our surround sound speakers that we received for Christmas. It took some work but it was worth it. Now we are preparing to install them in other parts of the house. Guess we have to save up for them...


5/24 Relaxing after a long day. The picture on the right is after Michael rolled onto his back and Cameron FELL OFF the couch. OUCH! He kept sleeping. (Sorry it's a little blurry)

5/22 ~ My two favorite men doing what they LOVE to do. I have nice quiet time when they are outside. Look at the intent looks on their face and then smiling at their accomplishment!


5/15 ~ Cameron posing and having fun at my cousin, Erica's graduation from University of Texas at Arlington. Cameron with his cousin Ethan, with my cousin Justin and his wife Erica, and showing off what's to come before we know it...Cameron in a graduation cap! We both had a great day and can't wait to visit Dallas again.

We're back...

Well we are back. It's been extremely hectic since Spring Break when I last posted. I'll try to give you a run down of our activities since March. Start from the bottom! Click on a picture to enlarge it.









5/10 The smiles and entertainment
NEVER end!




4/22 *We found Cameron in the dining room helping Nana and Grandpa measure for a project. * Getting an ice cream when the ice cream truck passed down the street. We had to hike to the other end of the street to get it. * Playing with uncle Bobby in the hot tub before Bobby headed for a short trip to Maine.








4/19 ~ Cameron at a friend's crawfish boil. He was too cool for words. (yes, those are his friends Eleanor's sunglasses - don't tell dad!)












4/12 ~ Cameron blowing bubbles with his bubble fan. 4/13 ~ Filling Daddy's shoes in the garage while helping Mommy clean!


4/12 ~ Easter: Cameron hunting Easter eggs and openning his birthday presents from Matthew & Christa. He had so much fun!











Our little man being his silly self. Left: 4/7 He figured out how to put his pants on his head. Right: 4/8 Coming inside after spraying himself with the water hose!


4/5 ~ My grandparents came down to help with our neighborhood garage sale. Cameron LOVED getting fresh, homemade tortillas and so did I.




3/27 Usually I'm the one with the camera. However, Michael came home from work to see Cameron and me sleeping in the chair. Pretty sight, uhhh?



3/25 ~ Cameron's new thing is putting Michael's socks on. It's cute but stinky if it's AFTER Michael wears them!





3/22 ~ When we were looking for bluebonnets to take spring pictures we went to a local neighborhood that has a small lake and beautiful scenery.




3/22 ~ Cameron sitting in Grandpa's truck while we were loading something in the back.





3/22 ~ Cameron and Michael washing the car. Michael tied a string around the sprayer to help Cameron with the water. It backfired on the both of them and they ended up soaked from head to toe!
