During Dan and Debra's visit, we had to take them to "Chad's Happy Place" aka Bass Pro Shop. We went to dinner at an amazing barbecue restaurant and then spent the evening eyeing the 100 lb catfish in the tank, shooting guns at the gallery, and window shopping for all sorts of fun outdoors necessities. We had so much fun with them, and are so glad that they came to visit. Cameryn is still talking about playing with "Papa and Mimi" and going to another baseball game! Wow, who is the big ole preggo lady? Is she gonna pop soon or what?

Take me out to the Ball Game...

Chad's parents were here visiting for a week, helping us put in a sprinkler system...which was a lot harder than we originally thought. (Thanks for all of your hard work, Dan and Debra!) We were able to break away from the yard for a night of fun at a Texas Rangers game. They played the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and unfortunately we lost...but we had a lot of fun and Cam really enjoyed it! She keeps asking to go back to the baseball game! Probably because she got to stay up late, eat cotton candy and hot dogs and scream as loud as she wanted :)

Pool Party

It's been so hot here, that I bought a blow-up pool for Cam. We use it on the days when we don't want to head over to the big pool in our development. It was cheap, but it came with a bunch of blow-up toys for Cam to play with. There is a dolphin ring toss, a blow-up turtle, a blow-up fishing pole with 2 fish, and the pool itself has a slide, a tree that sprays water and a flower with balls that jingle in it. She loves it, and Chad and I have also been known to sit in it with her on hot days. Isn't that a sight for the neighbors...a big prego lady in a little blow-up pool?

Reunited and it Feels SOOOO Good

Over Memorial Day weekend we drove to College Station to visit our friends the Beams. We first met "Team Beam" when we lived in Midvale right after Chad and I got married, almost 6 years ago. Unfortunately, we haven't lived in the same state since 2003, so it was high time we got together. They have a darling little boy named Connor, who is about 3 weeks older than Cam. The kids played together really well, which is saying a lot for 2 year olds. We had such a good time seeing their town, reminiscing, and catching up. We are so excited to be in the same state again, and can't wait for another visit!

This One is Smart...

After dinner tonight Cameryn was telling Chad and I that her tummy hurt. We kept asking her what she needed, a drink, a belly-rub etc. She looked at us and said "I need dessert." She is a riot. It almost worked.
I am attaching some pictures of our visit to the Harbor with our friends the Roberts. Cam LOVES their kids and we play with them almost daily. The kids ran through the fountains and we snapped photos, they had so much fun.

A New Bed and a New House...

What a busy weekend. We bought Cam a toddler bed and she's been doing really well with it, so far. She loves to climb out, but eventually she climbs back in and goes to sleep. She loves it, especially since we got her the Dora sheets...which she thinks are the greatest things ever. She looks so grown up laying in a big girl bed. She's growing so fast.
This weekend was also the weekend of garage sales in our neighborhood. So my friend (Rachel) and I went out hunting for kids stuff. I was looking specifically for Little Tikes outside toys for Cam and I found this house for only $15...nice huh? I was debating it and talking it over with Rachel, until we realized that it has a working doorbell and a mailbox...that sold it. We brought it home and I don't think that Cam has left it since. We even had to eat lunch outside so that she could eat on her little table in her new house. What a find!

Funny Cammers...

So, the other day Cam was being a pill (she's 2 so it happens.) Anyway, I told her that she was acting naughty, and she looked at me and said "Bauer a nightmare, Cameryn a turkey." Evidently she's also heard me complain about the dog. She remembers everything! It was so funny, I couldn't help but laugh and she knew that she was off the hook for being naughty.
I am attaching some pictures of Cam enjoying a favorite family dessert...Special K bars, thanks to Tif for introducing them to us, and thanks to Aunt Babbie for giving us all the recipe. They are fabulous, as you can tell by Cameryn sucking the chocolate off of all her fingers at the same time :)
