A Little Surprise

I got this book in the mail the other day!! This was what I wanted for Christmas and I hope Camden will look back at it one day and have some fond memories. I know I will treasure it. It has been so great having Daddy be able to watch us grow everyday and see how crazy life has been at times! Now we have it all recorded in a book!

Camden said in his prayer the other night, "God please be with the broke backs and broken hearts that need you!" So cute, but I was trying so hard not to laugh.

Let's Talk About Food

This is a shout out to Granny Sue. She made some killer Chocolate muffins. These things are to die for!! She really made them for Danny and he was kind enough to share with us a few weeks ago! Yummy! While Mom was here she made some awesome Chocolate Chip and Banana pancakes. They were delicious, however, Camden smelled them and had to go throw up. I don't know if he is just overly dramatic or if the smell really did make him sick?

Of course, on Saturday night we headed out to Fuji's which happens to be one of our most favorite restaurants ever!! We stuffed ourselves and then we were miserable the rest of the evening, but it was so worth it!! This one is for Tim. It will be the second place we visit when you come home!

Camden told me this morning that he had an "Oopsie" in the bathroom. I asked him what his Oopsie was. He said, "When my stink came out, I peed really really powerful and it got on my underwear!" I know that doesn't really go with talking about food, but where else can you get entertainment like this??

A Little Scary

Madeline and Emily decided to get a facial done at Belk. Don't worry Tim, I did NOT do any shopping!! We were just in there to look around and we got a free Make Over for the girls. The scary part was Camden jumping right in the middle of things. He was paying a lot of attention to what was going on.

I wonder if he will be a Make Up Artist one day? Whatever he is, I hope he will be a good one!!

 

Our Weekend

Boy did we have an exciting jam packed weekend! We crammed a ton of adventures into one short weekend. Camden has been crying since his company left. We have had special visitors for over a week and now they have all gone and he is kind of sad. So here is the recap of our weekend: We piled onto the bed to catch some movies. We watched "Courageous".

 On Saturday we headed out for a morning session of skating.

 We played some DS.

 Camden drew a "very large pair of pants".

 On Sunday morning we all went to church.

 Grandma got some Bentley love. The best kind!!

 I will have to get to the food in another post. There was so much that it will take some time to write about. I think we were having a contest to see who could gain the most weight!!! HAHA!

Special Visitors

We had some very special guests for the weekend. Mom, Emily and Madeline came to see us. Camden was going to be so surprised because he had no idea! We ran up to school to pick him up a little early. He didn't seem to be so thrilled? Don't know what was going on with him. He seemed shy and not quite sure what to do!

Perhaps his strange behavior had something to do with this Report Card? It was OK, because he actually did a very good job this semester. We are very proud of him!

Movies

May ~ 2008

Grandma left yesterday and Camden and Bentley are resting up. I think they were both exhausted, not to mention that Grandma probably needs a few days to detox as well. I could not keep up with Grandma and Camden, they were very busy with lots of playing and entertainment. Plus they played card games which Mommy is not too good at! Ha!

Last night Camden asked if we could go see a movie this weekend. He wanted to know if I wanted to see "The Miracle" or "African Americans"? He told me "The Miracle" was about whales stuck in ice and the other movie is about airplanes. The airplane movie is actually called "Red Tails" about the Tuskegee Airmen. I love how he so eloquently describes things to me. Sometimes I can guess what he is talking about and sometimes I have to ask a lot of questions.

Nealie

This is Nealie. She is a precious little angel from Heaven and she was sent here to teach us all something. Nealie has Leigh's Syndrome. She does not walk or talk, but boy does she shine. She can light up a room with her little personality.  I am truly humbled by her Amazing Grace.

Nealie has a special Mom too. She is my work friend, Amanda, and she was hand picked by God just for Nealie. I am covered by guilt when my child is running around like crazy and will not stop talking and I think of what Amanda would not give for her child to do the same. A true lesson to be learned.

I wonder if Nealie will ever know how many souls that she has touched in her lifetime. Yes, I think she does know. She is pretty special.
