Baseball Game

Redhawks

Last week we went to the Redhawks baseball game with the church group. We had a great time. Camdyn had been looking forward to it all week and really enjoyed the loud music, especially when they played "take me out to the ball game". We had been singing the song all week. Thanks Brenda!

Rain, Rain Go Away

playing in rain

With all the rain that we have had, we have been stuck inside a lot. Any time that Carter sees a puddle, he is there. I try to avoid the situations, like taking him to get the mail with me. A few times Camdyn and Carter have played in the water running down the street. Carter doesn't mind getting wet, including sitting in the water. Carter could play in it for hours if we let him.

Air Show

A couple of weeks ago, we went to the air show with the Bosleys and Audrey and Carson. We met them down at Mike's work (in the tall weeds) so we wouldn't have to fight the crowd at tinker. We got there right in time to see the Blue Angels. It was hard to get a good picture, but we got some. It was really hot, but well worth it.

San Antonio Trip

San Antonio Trip

This past week Craig had to take a trip to San Antonio for work, so the kids and I tagged along. We left the weekend before, so that we could do some fun things. On the way down there, we stopped in Fort Worth to see the Bedicheks. We met the Tindles down there and went to Sea World with them. That was a lot of fun. We went last August and Camdyn didn't care much for the shows. This time she was really into them. Carter liked them too. During the week the kids and I swam and played. Camdyn loved swimming. She liked to jump into the pool. She was really brave; by the end of the trip she would jump in and wouldn't want us to catch her. (she had on arm floaties) Carter didn't care too much for the pool or being in a floatie. He would have rather had some water to sit in and splash. That was a challenge. Craig had some long days. By the time he got back to the hotel we would swim for a little bit and then grab a bite to eat. The kids had some late nights, but did really well. Cindy Smith was in San Antonio visiting her parents. We got together one day and went to the zoo. Thanks Cindy for the get-a-way! On the way home, we stopped several times to give the kids a break. One of the stops was at Cabello's in Fort Worth. Cabello's is an outdoor store like Bass Pro Shop. It was a good trip, but we are glad to be back! Click on the picture to see more.

Progess on Land

We are making some good progress on our land. The above picture is of our pad site from the east side of the property. We didn't realize how much a slope there was on our land until we dozed the trees. The property is completely ready for construction to begin, which could be as early as this week. We need to set a closing date and after that construction will begin. The pictuer below will be our driveway. The trees were cleared and we brought in some gravel for construction purposes. During the summer when all the trees are green, our house won't be able to be seen from the road.

Camdyn and Carter have enjoyed playing in the cars while Craig and I work at the land. At least we know where they are at all times.

Carter the climber

Now that Carter has mastered walking, he is ready to take on the world. He wanted to get up on the slide, so I put his walking toy there and the very first time he climbed up all by himself. He was so proud!

A couple of Sundays ago, after church we went to get lunch and brought it home. We made it home with both kids awake, got everything ready to eat and started eating. Within five minutes Carter had fallen asleep.

A couple of weeks ago, Craig got a running stroller from a guy at work. We had been thinking about getting another one so that we could run together. This was great! We have ran a handful times with both of them. It is pretty hard, especially with all the hills in our neighborhood, but it is fun.

My Little Helper

Camdyn likes to help out around the house or at least when it comes to her brother. One night she decided that he needed his diaper changed. He actually laid down for her and was letting her change his diaper.

Last Sunday when it was pouring, my mom said that she should bring down my umbrella I got when I was a girl. I said I had it and I got it out for her even though it isn't a rain umbrella. She loved it and wanted to play with it all day.


Camdyn has not been taking naps very well lately. It is a daily struggle. I thought because her and Carter's schedules are so different. Well, yesterday Carter's schedule was a little different where his nap was the time she usually takes her. So I read her a couple of books and told her that I was going to put Carter down for his nap. I came back and she had fallen asleep. She moved her pillow down to the foot of the bed and retuck herself back in and put her bear next to her. Well, last night was the longest night ever. She woke up to go potty and it took her two hours to go back to sleep. Maybe she really is done with naps?
