Pretty Toes...

So, lately Cam and I have a Saturday night bonding ritual...she has a bath and then we blow dry her hair (she loves having her hair blown dry) and then we paint her toes. We went to Chad's office the other day and his physical therapy assistant noticed that Cam had pretty toes. So she bought her some of the nail stickers to put on her tootsies, because her daughter loves them and she thought Cam would enjoy them too. We tried them out last Saturday and Cam couldn't stop staring at her pretty stickers and showing them to everyone at church on Sunday. All the kids in nursery got a glimpse and a lot of our friends had to look at them too :) She is a riot!

Happy 4th of July!

We had a very busy and very fun 4th of July. We started our day with a ward pancake breakfast at our church...it was supposed to include a flag raising, but that didn't happen. Then Chad and I spent the afternoon painting the new baby's room. It looks really good, but I don't think that I will be painting anything else until after the baby comes...I'm a bit clumsy and it's exhausting. We ended our day with a big BBQ with friends from our ward and neighborhood. We had so much fun and the kids had a blast. The kids really liked the sparklers until the sparks landed on their skin and then they lost all of their appeal. Cam got nervous when Chad would set off the really loud fireworks, but overall she enjoyed them. I think the dads enjoyed the fireworks more than the kids :) Especially the "Ring of Fire". I am attaching a picture of the "Ring" for anyone that has yet to witness it's awesomeness.

My New Favorite Quote...

We took Cameryn to see "Kung Fu Panda" today and it was hilarious. My new favorite quote comes from the comedic genius of Jack Black when he says, "There is no charge for awesomeness."

Funny Cameryn...

Just an update on the funny things that Cameryn has said lately:
1. After hearing me tell her that I couldn't pick her up again tonight because I am too sore...she proceeded to tell Chad that she couldn't crawl into bed because she was "too sore". She is a riot.
2. Arriving at the parking lot of the AMC for her first movie..."We made it! It's gonna be a party!"
3. She tells us daily that she needs to wear a dress so that she can go to the ball and dance with the prince...we're going through a Cinderella phase ;)
4. The other morning I got her up and she proceeded to tell me that she was going to change my diaper...and that I needed some "bum cream" aka diaper cream.
5. While driving the other day she told me that she wanted to drive and that I needed to sit in her car seat.
6. Tonight after her bath she told me that she was going to go to work and that I shouldn't be sad. "I go to work...mama, don't be sad."
She is hilarious!

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?
