Get me off this ride NOW!

Amazed by the characters

We took Cameron to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate his 1st birthday! He LOVED the characters but was not too thrilled about the rides. His sister enjoyed them though! After naps, Nana and Papaw came over for birthday cake and presents! He LOVED his cake as you can tell! I think it is safe to say that he had a fun 1st birthday!

Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Cameron!

February of 2009, Joel and I decided it was time to start trying for another child. It had taken us over a year to conceive Savannah, so we were ready to walk down that long road again. Little did we know that the very next month we would find out that we were expecting baby # 2. I was so excited! And even more thrilled when I found out it was going to be a boy. Our family was now going to be complete with a little girl and little boy.
Around 5:00 am on October, 20, 2009, 2 weeks before my scheduled c-section, my water broke. We rushed to the hospital and at 7:33am our beautiful baby boy was born. I couldn't believe it! We were now parents of not 1, but 2 children. We had no idea how blessed our lives would be by this precious little miracle.
He is such a laid back, easy going, happy baby. He smiles all the time and at everyone. He adores his big sister and tries to imitate everything she does. He loves to wave "hi" and "bye-bye". He enjoys listening to music and bouncing and dancing to it. His chuckle is contagious and his hugs and snuggles melt your heart. He is honestly the sweetest baby boy I have ever met! We are so happy that we were chosen to be his parents and thank God every day for him! Happy Birthday sweet Cameron!!

My Little Fish

Savannah had her first swim lesson this past weekend. She was so excited to start them! She did such a wonderful job. She was able to kick and paddle all by herself with just a little noodle under her arms. The teacher also let go a few times and she did a couple of strokes completely on her own without any noodle or other support. I am so proud of her!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumkins

Cameron thought wrecking the cabinet was much more fun than carving pumpkins

Working Hard!

Joel and I took the kids this weekend to a pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins. The kids had a wonderful time! Savannah really enjoyed this year drawing the faces of our jack o lanterns. She worked very hard along side daddy. She would draw and erase, draw and erase until finally she had the face looking just the way she wanted. It was so cute to see! Cameron enjoyed crawling around in all the pumpkins at the patch but wasn't so interested once we got them home.

He wasn't a big fan of his hat

We celebrated Cameron's 1st birthday this past weekend. I can't believe it has already been a year! He had a wonderful time! He LOVED his cake! I finally had to take it away from him after he had eaten 3/4 of it. He would have eaten it all if I had let him. However, I was a little afraid he may puke! Surprisingly he didn't though. It was a beautiful day and wonderful time with the family! Happy "soon to be" 1st birthday my sweet boy!

Visit with Friends

We had some wonderful friends come visit us this past weekend. We went to high school together and have managed to stay in touch ever since. It had been 2 years since we last got to see them. I was able to meet their sweet twin girls for the first time. Their other 2 children stayed behind because they are in school. We also were able to celebrate Kimeka's birthday with her while she was here. Savannah LOVED her. She had not seen her since Savannah was one. At first she kept calling them The mom, the dad, and the babies. Then she finally remembered Kimeka's name and started calling her Ms. Meeka. It was very cute!! We had such a wonderful time and hope we get to see them again soon!!
