Field Day / Easter Party

Bye Easter Bunny

Cameron had fun at her party too!

Her Class

Concentrating so hard!

Savannah had her Field Day / Easter Party at school today! They had several stations that they rotated through. She learned about taking care of her teeth, got to hunt for Easter eggs and see the Easter bunny, listen to Easter stories, do crafts, meet a police officer, and jump in a bounce house! Then for lunch they ate pizza and had yummy Easter cupcakes! She actually liked the Easter bunny. She gave him a hug, a high five, and even let him put an egg in her basket. This is HUGE for her because this is the first time that she hasn't completely freaked out when seeing a character dressed up. She is usually scared to death! She had a great time! All except for busting her lip : ( She was running full force outside and tripped and fell face first, busting her lip, and getting blood on her shirt! She was a trooper though and only cried for a short time. Cameron came with us and enjoyed all of the chaos from the kids!! It was a very fun day!

My Sweet Babies!

Cameron's First Cereal!

"mom what is this stuff"

Savannah gagging her brother.....Oops!

Why can you never feed a baby without opening up your mouth as well....even Savannah did this!

Cameron got his first experience with rice cereal tonight! He did a great job and seemed to like it. He actually opened up his mouth when he saw the spoon coming and didn't spit it out! Savannah was the proud big sister and little encourager. She told him before we began "just try your best bubby". It was so cute! She LOVED getting to feed him and did a pretty good job except for a few times when she gagged him with the spoon.

The Gift of An Ordinary Day!

I saw this video on my friend Margaret, http://www.sohappilyus.blogspot.com, blog. It is WONDERFUL for anyone with children, but especially those with small children. It really makes you realize how special those ordinary days are when you feel as though you are doing the same thing over and over again. Although I know I am so blessed, there are still many days when I feel less than enthused and many days that I feel have become very monotonous. After watching this video I realized that there ARE memories to be made in the days where all I feel I am doing is changing diapers, cleaning up spit up, fixing meals, sending little ones to time out and just trying to make it through the day without "losing it"! And yes, although it seems that this is the way life will always be, I know that in too short of a time I will be wishing back these days!
Sorry, I don't know how to put it on my blog like my friend did...but if you click on the link below it will take you to You Tube where you can watch it! Beware....it is a tear jerker!!

Cameron's Dedication

We had Cameron dedicated at church on Sunday. It was a beautiful ceremony! Cameron was wonderful and happy the entire time (not that this is not the norm). Savannah was excellent as well. It was nice having my family join us in this special time!
