Water Balloons

What is summer without a water balloon fight? Camden loves this activity. We would do it every day if it wasn't so hard to fill those things up and then try to tie them too. What a pain!! Wish they came premade and then we would do it every day!!

Tim left Italy this morning and is on his way to his final destination. We will all feel much better when he gets there safe and sound. We sure do miss him. I think I miss him the most because I have already had to change 3 light bulbs. Smiley Face.

This morning as Camden was getting on the bus, I waved Bye to him and he gave me "The Nod". How can it be that my little baby is too grown up to wave to his Mommy?

Finding Our Way

~Best Friends~

It was a rough night trying to get adjusted to our new normal. Bentley is completely depressed without his Daddy. He won't even touch his favorite snacks. Camden jumped up every 10 minutes when he heard a plane fly over thinking that it was Daddy. There was also a whole lot of crying going on. Camden got a pair of his shorts and kept smelling them and told me to smell them because they smelled like Daddy. Yes, this is heart breaking but we have to get thru it and we will. It's not going to be easy and mostly an up hill battle.

By the time it is over we will all be stronger and besides absence is supposed to make the heart grow fonder. Unfortunately that is a hard lesson to learn especially for a seven year old. So time will heal us, Jesus will protect us and we will grow stronger together as we wait for Daddy to come back to us! However he might find Mommy in the Loony Bin. Ha!

Saying Goodbye

Daddy took off this morning on a Deployment. We are all going to miss him so much. I don't know who will miss him the most. It is a toss up between Mommy, Camden & Bentley.

We want Daddy to know how proud we are of him and everything that he has done, not just for us but for his country. We will think about him everyday! Good luck Daddy. We love you with all of our hearts!

Lazy Days of Summer

Yes, that is right, the Lazy Days of Summer are over. No more floating around the pool, doing Cannon Balls, riding the waves at the beach, eating ice cream cones, wearing flip flops, etc. This summer season is leaving us too quickly, but we are ready for the next season of our lives. Fall will bring its own fun memories for us to enjoy.

White Lake

I just wanted to document our 18th Anniversary trip to White Lake. It was Camden's second visit there. The first time he went he was only four months old. He didn't even know he was there, but this time he got the full experience. He stayed in the water every second and then we played putt-putt, went to a water park and the Amusement Park. He loved it and can't wait to go back.

Bentley

Here is Bentley. The really wild dog. He is spoiled rotten and thinks he is the king of the house. He has been trying to catch a squirrel in our back yard for the past 3 years. I don't know what will happen if he ever does catch one. He likes the beach almost as much as I do. He is a great guard dog, snack lover, squirrel chaser and Camden's best friend!

School Days

This was Camden's first day of school on August 25th. He was so excited to be going to the Second grade! We hope that we will have a great school year and learn a lot. So far we haven't had any homework. I am sure that will be short lived. He is growing up so fast.
