Special Art

Camden drew this picture for Grandma and said that it was her "when she was younger!"  I love the high heels. Wow, Grandma, what big hands you have! And a long neck too! So sweet!

Last night after I told Camden to eat his dinner, he sat there for another 15 minutes. He finally asked, "M did I eat enough?" I said, "What did you call me?" He said, "M."  Really?!?? I told him that he could refer to me as Mommy or Mom. I'm not ready to be just an "M." Ha!

Do The Hokie Pokie

Guess who played Wii Dance and liked it? Well, it was Grandma. They had so much fun shaking their groove things! It was pretty hilarious but so fun!

The pictures speak for themselves. I know they were having fun and I had just as much fun laughing at them and snapping pictures of them! Ha! It is rated "E" for Everyone and even Bentley tried to get in on the action. For a Public Service Announcement: Those little Wii Remotes should ALWAYS be strapped to your wrist. Camden decided to throw ours straight at the TV and it sounded like a bomb. TV glass is pretty sturdy, but we will never do this test again!

Going To Church

We had a fun filled, busy Sunday. First we thought we would take a few pictures before church since we were all spiffed up. 

 Bentley decided to be a ham. Kids...what can you do with them? He looks like he is foaming at the mouth in this picture, but he is just drooling for the camera!

 He doesn't usually like his picture taken. Don't know what has gotten into him?!?!

 After church we spent some time playing outside and then some relaxing, reading and drawing. Camden and Grandma played a little Wii and then we did something sinful. After dinner we ate this for dessert! Oh my!!

What is this sinfulness? Well, it is just Milk Chocolate brownies with Cream Cheese frosting and a bus load of chopped pecan goodness. Yummers.

Look Who Came To Visit

 

Grandma stopped by for a visit. She and Camden are going to be taking advantage of the Winter Break from school. Last night we just relaxed after we went out for dinner and a quick trip to the mall. Our relaxing involved some Miniature Bowling! How fun!!

 Aunt Bev and Uncle Jeff sent Camden some love.  Not to worry, this child has never been spoiled in any way!! Ha!

 Of course, Daddy is looking rather relaxed today! He needed some stress relief too!! And I actually got out this morning and ran a ton of errands while Grandma and Camden went skating, well, Camden went skating.

Christmas Again?

Camden and I took off for church on Sunday morning. Since we missed the Christmas program at our church a few weeks ago,  Camden got some more presents that were left at the church.  How many presents can one child get?

Camden and I will practice up on our dart throwing skills before Daddy gets back! 

 Have a super duper Friday!!

The Wedding

Last year Stephanie had a fabulous birthday party at work. It was all about Edward. We actually gave her Edward, literally. Well, he was cardboard and life size, that counts right? It was such a fun time and I didn't think that a party like that could ever be out done, but...

 The birthday girl was so excited! Everything was perfect!

There were trees with lights down the hallway and streamers hanging from the ceiling. It was a perfect recreation of Edward and Bella's wedding. 

The wedding gifts!

Then all of the ladies from the office ventured over to Applebee's for a little lunch!

In the afternoon it was time for some cake. A wedding cake would have been super, but Stephanie requested some Chocolate pudding surprise!

Next up was an Academy Award Winning performance of Bella finding out that she was having a baby!

There wasn't a body double for this performance folks. It was all acting at it's finest!

Later that evening we all headed over to the Country Club for a surprise party for Stephanie. She showed up way later than was expected but she is a diva actress!! What a great day. Birthdays at work are always so much fun!!

Making Pancakes

Camden and I made some pancakes for breakfast over the weekend. I had been buying those awful prepackaged frozen ones that just don't do a pancake justice! Camden decided he wanted to help and I let him do all of the work. Now at least he has one life skill down pat! He can make his own breakfast! Ha!

 

 Next time I will send him to Granny Sue's for some training!!

We have been having some difficulties this past week. Camden said a very bad phrase and I told him not to say that anymore. He then told me what the phrase meant. I told him that I knew what it meant and if he ever said it again I would wash his mouth out with soap. He said, "That's OK, I like brushing my teeth with soap!"

This morning after he saw a commercial for an alarm system he said we needed to get one of those. Then I went in the bathroom (at 6:15 in the morning) and Camden decided to go outside and ring the doorbell and Bentley starts barking like crazy. I came running out and asked him what he was doing. He said he was just waking up our security guard (Bentley). I am going to need a whole lot more patience.

But on the same note, he asked me last night if I knew who the sweetest angel in Heaven was? He told me it was my Grandma. It is those rare little moments that make up for all of the stressful moments that he puts me through.
