Picture Time

Carter-Family

Last week we took Carter to get his 1 year photos. We decided to take family pictures at the same time. We went to JcPenney's which is where we have gone every time since Camdyn has been born. It has always been a good experience there except for once or twice. Carter and Camdyn did really good, despite the off schedule day (I was asked to sub at Sonshine school that day and so Carter only had one nap.) Camdyn has always been really cooperative when getting her picture taken. Overall, we were pleased with our pictures.

Chips Anyone?

Chipper

I know you are probably getting sick of hearing about our land, but we are excited about it...and thus we blog. Craig rented a chipper to get rid of some of the brush that we cleared at the land. We only had the chipper for 4 hours, which was plenty of time to do the work, and got us thoroughly tired. Craig's Dad and Alex helped us (thanks guys). The chipper got stuck in the mud once, which was a 30 minute struggle which we overcame. So if anybody in our neck of the woods needs mulch just let us know. Click on the pic to see more.

Carter's1st B-day

Carter B-day

Can you believe that Carter is ONE!! Time flies by when you have two kids. My parents came down for the weekend and we had a quaint little party with just family. We thought Carter would dig into his cake and make a huge mess. This kid puts everything in his mouth, from dirt to sticks to batteries...everything that is except birthday cake! He wouldn't touch it, and when he did he was mad that the frosting stuck to his hand. We couldn't believe it. We still had fun though. He got some nice gifts from Aunt Stacy and Uncle Scott, and from Aunt Kristy and Uncle Alex. He also got his own sandbox from Grandma and Grandpa Collins (sand not included). Maybe he will do better at his next first birthday that we will have next week with Craig's parents. Click on pic to see his birthday party Album.

Working the Land

2007_03_03

Here are some pics of our land. Craig and I worked out there for about four hours this morning. My sister's husband Alex helped us and we got a lot of work done. Click on the pic to see more photos.

The Land! The Land!

For those of you who don't know, we purchased some land in Edmond. It is about 4.5 acres and heavily wooded. We intend to build a house on it one day. Craig spent a couple hours out there the other day with a chainsaw and started to clear a path for the driveway. We will try to keep this site updated with any progress we make on the land.

Enjoying the Outdoors

Trip to the ER

Friday afternoon we had a little scare at the Williamson house. I was playing outside with the kids and Lauren Cady. Lauren and Camdyn were running around the yard and Camdyn kept falling. I thought she was just being clumsy. The last time she fell, she just laid there. I went over to her and picked her up. She was completely limp and blacked out for 5-10 seconds. After she came around, she sat in my lap for awhile. It scared me enough to make a trip to the ER. (This is the second time in about two weeks that she has blacked out). If you haven't been to the ER in a while it is not a fun place to be...everyone there is sick or injured. We arrived at OU Children's Hospital at 5:30pm and were released at 2:30am!! Camdyn did great though, she stayed awake the entire time and was an angel compared to some of the other kids in the waiting room. She even laid perfectly still when they took pictures of her head (yes a CAT scan). Everything came back clear and they told us to make an appt. with Camdyn's pediatrician. Luckily Kristy and Alex were able to watch Carter while we were at the Hospital or our ER trip would have been even more miserable. While they were watching Carter, Carter starting throwing up. They spent the night cleaning up after him. Sorry guys. Keep us in your prayers as Camdyn continues to get tested.
