Camy turns 1 on Saturday

I can't believe that my baby girl is 1. Time sure flies. It seems like just yesterday she was born, but it also seems like she has been part of our family forever. She is such a joy to have. She cuddles quite a bit now. She gives hugs and kisses all the time. Even though she is sweet, she does know how to work everyone and get what she wants. She just learned the word "Mine!" and has put it to good use. She will scream it over and over until she gets what she wants or is distracted. Parker and Carson love her a ton and are usually pretty tolerant of her. They get a little annoyed when she is taking things from them but they are also the first to jump in a knock someone down if they are picking on Camy. What else are big brothers for, right?
Here is Camy in a nut shell.

This is a picture that I took a couple of days ago and it is so Camy! I love it! I am planning to take some birthday/1 yr. pictures in a couple of days. Hopefully they turn out.

Keeper's birthday!!!

Well, as usual I am late in my blogging. Keeper turned 28 on the 3rd, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!!! He is so awesome!!! The morning of his birthday I taught preschool at our house. The kids were really crazy that day but Keeper helped out by playing his guitar for them and watching Camy until he had to go to work. What a helpful, loving husband. He is always thinking of us even when it's his day. I love him so much and am so grateful that I get to spend so much time with him. Parker said, "I love taking Mia on walks with Dad. That's how he knows that I love him." Carson said, "I love singing a song on the guitar with him." Camy just loves being with him. Here is a video of Carson and Keeper that I took this morning that illustrates what Carson was talking about. I hope you have had a great week, Keep. We love you!!!

Halloween

Now that I am actually to Halloween in my posts, I guess I'll put some of those pictures on.
We had a fun Halloween this year. Between the parties and trick or treating we have been on a sugar high for a while now. The boys really liked it this year. It was fun to experience that with them. Parker wanted to be a cowboy again this year. We already had the costume so I was all for it. Carson was Diego and Camy was his Baby Jaguar. He loved putting his arm around her and telling everyone that he had to take care of Baby Jaguar. She didn't like it too much but oh well.






Before we even left our front yard Camy had a sucker in each hand. Such a little sneak!



Part of the haul. We had a whole other bowl full. Gotta love that Parker is in his underwear on the table. Nice Park!!!

Camy's face at the end of the night

Of course one sucker isn't enough! Not even two is enough!

Primary program

Parker was in the primary program at church a few weeks ago. He was one of the few kids who actually had their part memorized. He was so cute up there, our little Sunbeam, rattling off his part like it was nothing. He is exactly like Keeper, not a single issue with stage fright. He loves having all the attention on him.
He said, "Because He loves us, He has given us families so that we can love and learn from one another."
He did such an awesome job! My little boy is getting so big!

Awesome San Antonio

It's pretty common to hear people complain about the weather in San Antonio. Yes, it's usually hot and ALWAYS humid, but it's home. Luckily there is not much complaining right now. The weather has been awesome! We have visited many playground recently to enjoy the sunny, slightly cool weather. I love it and the kids love being outside. Here are a few pictures of our playground adventures.





Camy kept laying down on the sidewalk yesterday while we were at the playground. I'm not sure what she was doing but I thought it was funny.

Painting pumpkins

We paint pumpkins every year around Halloween and the kids love it! The boys were really excited to do it this year but Camy wanted in on the action. I let her use pudding to paint on a piece of paper instead. She was a little unsure at first but ended up covered from head to toe having a great time!

Fiesta Farms

We went to a little farm the other day for a preschool field trip and the kids LOVED it! Here are some pictures of the fun.

Park got to feed a llama. He thought he was pretty cool because he was one of the few kids who got to do this. He wasn't scared at all.

Carson was a little worried but wanted to be brave on the pony. When they started going I asked if he was okay and he said, "see mom. It's fine. I'm okay."

Parker looks huge on that pony and he is a small kid for his age.

Camy LOVED the goats!!! She kept squealing at them.



I love this picture! It's shows Camy's true love too. A rock!!!
