Christmas party at school ~ 12-17-10

Cameron had his Christmas party at school. He came home with some goodies and shared some of his loot with Braydon.

Poor Braydon… ~ 12-16-10

Poor Braydon...Braydon went to the doctor for the 2nd time in a few weeks. Turns out he has a double ear infection. I felt SO bad. How do you know your little has an ear infection? I mean, they can talk to tell you! Poor little guy has been miserable. Along with his ear infection hes had eye crusties, and just hasn't felt well. In turn that means less to no sleep for momma!

But despite feeling bad, he has recently found his toes and was trying to eat mommy's popcorn!

Robe and Polar Express from school ~ 12-15-10

After his evening of singing and dinner with Nana, Cameron came home put on his robe after bath. After getting bedtime clothes on he took out his Polar Express ticket from school and told us all about it from school. He was SO cute.

Christmas Caroling at Cameron's 2nd school ~ 12-15-10

Cameron's 2nd school - daycare - has a Christmas program every year. My first inclination there might be a problem was when we pulled up and he was a little puzzled as to why we were back at daycare. As much as Nana and I tried to reassure him we weren't leaving him, he was hesitant to stay in the room with the other kids to practice for his singing debut.

They came out and this is what we saw...










Then trying to calm him down.










Mom singing with Cameron.






After singing, or lack there of, we went to Whataburger to have dinner. Cameron was all smiles then and enjoyed our evening with Nana.

All smiles and play...













And we learned that the entire problem of the evening was that he got an elf hat instead of the much desired reindeer ears to wear for the performance. If I would have known that I would have brought him some reindeer ears I had at home!

Sitting up and playing by the tree ~ 12-14-10

Braydon is steadying himself enough to sit up and not fall over. Here we are playing in front of the tree.









Sweet boys

It's 2010 mom ~ 12-14-10

Cameron and his classmates rotate jobs every weeks. Today Cameron, from the backseat, says, "Mom, it's 2010." I was taken by surprise. When I asked him how he knew that he told me he was the calendar helper. I'm so proud of him.

Gullo Christmas Party ~ 12-12-10

We attended the Gullo Christmas Party at the Ford store. Mr. Gullo throws a big bash for all the kids of the employees. Cameron was really more aware this year. We were able to get Santa picture with both boys, get a Spiderman balloon, eat a great meal and enjoy company.



The boys with Santa.






Braydon fell asleep very quickly after we arrived. At least we got a Santa picture first!






Afterward we we went over to Nana and Papa's. Cameron enjoyed his Spiderman balloon but by the end of the evening there wasn't much left.

Not so much liking the apple ~ 12-10-10

Cameron wanted to be a helpful big brother and share his apple with Braydon. Braydon wasn't quite sure what to think of the apple.

It's a bird, It's a plan, No, it's Bradyon rolling! ~ 12-9-10

It's about time... almost 6 months old is when Braydon decided to finally roll over.

Endless toys ~ 12-8-10

Since receiving toys from my aunt and dad we've gathered quite a collection of toys. So we would have space in the garage to walk, we decided to create a wall hanging to put the toys on. Michael was such a trooper. He was REALLY sick when we were finishing it up yet he was right there helping to finish it. As long as you don't take down the board you won't see the hundred of holes we made when trying to find the studs! (no kidding!)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ~ 12-5-10

We decided we best get out and find a Christmas Tree before they were gone. This year we were in and out in a snap and found a great tree ta-bout.

We found the perfect tree.

Setting it up straight and tall.
Braydon taking it all in while breathing his vaporizer. Poor baby has been sick.

Braydon, just because ~ 12-5-10

Here is a picture of Braydon just shy of 6 months.

Preparing the ground for a surprise ~ 12-5-10

Nana and Papa have decided to give Cameron and Braydon a playset for the backyard. So, of course, you have to prepare the ground. And if you know GL at all you know that EVERYTHING has to be PERFECT. Here the boys are preparing the ground, leveling, evening out the area where the swing set will be.

At this point Cameron didn't know what was happening so he was out there helping.

Cookies! ~ 11-28-10

Daddy decided to make some cookies and Cameron was right there with him helping out.

Chilling with Daddy ~ 11-28-10

Braydon chilling with Daddy. Or should I say watching Daddy play.

A tie like his Daddy ~ 11-26-10

Cameron on occasion will try to emmulate his daddy by putting on a tie. Of course since he doesn't have any ties, he puts on his belt. Not the best idea and we certainly don't let him keep it on for long, but pretty creative though.

Thanksgiving lunch ~ 11-25-10
