Fourth Birthday

For the Fourth birthday we were so in to tractors! He loved tractors and everything had to make a tractor noise! So precious!! He insisted on driving the tractor on the cake!!

PaPa let him drive his real tractor. Don't you love his haircut that he gave himself? Does every child cut their hair when they are four?

Third Birthday

The Third birthday was all about Cars! We watched that movie too many times to count. All Camden could talk about was Lightning McQueen! Everything he owned and played with was Cars!

The famous dump truck that traveled with us to the beach for several years!

Second Birthday

The Second birthday would have to be Elmo. This baby loved him some Elmo and that was all we watched on TV for a whole year! We also got him a PupCake which he loved!

Such a special time!

Is the party over yet? I am really tired!!

First Birthday

I thought this week I would take a trip down memory lane and look back at each birthday that Camden has celebrated starting with the first. Camden's First birthday was so special. We celebrated with family back at home. I had been dreaming of this occasion forever, so it was a ton of fun to plan. He was still such a little baby boy then!

Pictures

Looks like someone got a hold of my camera again. I found this while downloading pictures. I am sure this happened while I was in the shower the other night. There were also some not so flattering pictures of the dog. So maybe it is time to skip showers all together and just start doing sponge baths! Sure, why not!

Camden asked me, "Is there a Baby Fairy that comes and takes away all of your baby stuff and gives you big boy stuff?" I asked him what the Fairy was going to take and he said, "Bear." Oh my, are we ready for Bear to leave our family?

Camden told me, "Mommy I can make my head spin around and around!"  Now I thought I was the only one that could do that!! Please hurry up and come home Daddy!!

Tattoos

Camden just loves tattoos. These tattoos were fine for him to play with and I thought they came off pretty easily. I, however, was somewhat alarmed when we got home from church the other day and he had these tattoos up and down the sides of his body and his arms. I sure hope he didn't show them off at church! Oh my! I would find out at bath time that these tattoos do not come off at ALL, they have to wear off. We have scrubbed with everything you can think of and almost a week later he is still sporting some very fine ink! He told me that the one on his side means "God".

Last night the phone rang and Camden wanted to get it. I saw that it was the school calling with their weekly update on PTA meetings, book sales, etc, so I told him to answer it. He stood there listening for several moments. Finally I told him to hang up. He said, "I am not hanging up! I will get thrown out of school for good if I hang up on my Principal!" I told him it wasn't really his principal on the phone, it was a recorded message from her! He said, "Well it sure does sound just like her!"

Hart Braker

I don't want to forget the notes from Camden. Recently Camden got into some serious trouble for running thru a parking lot. When we got home I made him go to his room. Then the notes started coming. He always slides notes out from under his door to me. Usually he writes that I am mean or he doesn't love me and the notes always have math problems on the inside. I can understand him trying to express his feelings in the only way he knows how to, but I am slightly confused by the math problems. Maybe it helps to tamp down his anger! He has been doing this for about two years! Just something else for the memory bank! Ha!

Camden's prayer the other night:"Lord please bless the people with only one leg and bless all the people with zero legs!" When he was finished I just looked at him. He said, "What, it could happen!"
