Cali Trip--Part 2

After our Bakersfield visit, we headed over to Papa and GG's house in Atascadero. During our stay, Parker met more family members for the first time...his Auntie Kristen, Uncle Ryan, and his great-grandparents! Auntie Sara and cousin Dylan stayed in A-town after the wedding as well, allowing us to spend extra time with them. Mom and Eric, thank you for everything!

GG teaching these boys how to play...yes please!

Camden loved the piano (let's hope he's musically inclined like Daddy)

Time to mow the lawn!

I love Dylan's face in this one!

Uncle Jason met us for burgers. It was Parker's first time meeting him as well...bummed I didn't get a pic of the two of them.

Camden did not want to get out of this swing!

Cali Trip--Part 1

On May 17th we headed to California for Krista's (Jonathan's step-sis) wedding. We were so excited to see family and share in her special day! Here are some pictures from our time in Bakersfield with Grandpa and Memaw, the rehearsal dinner in Morro Bay, and the wedding (also in MB). Dad and Karen, thank you for everything!

Auntie and Camden (he hasn't seen her since he was a baby and took to her right away...they're buds)

Backyard fun with Grandpa (they spent some quality time in that sandbox)

Parker hanging out in the Bumbo--a perfect place for getting kisses from the doggies!

Hangin' with Grandpa. Notice the curled toes...love!

Holding on

Parker loves to hold onto things and he loves this ball! These pics go back to May 12th when he was just starting to keep toys in his hands for a long period of time.

Trying to figure out how to get it in his mouth

Got it!

Serious stuff!

Still holding on!

Mommy's Day

I love being a Mommy! I am so grateful I have been given the gift of two boys, they are the best! I'm blessed to stay home and watch them grow and change daily. Jonathan did a great job of making me feel special, loved, and appreciated on Mother's Day. He made me a slideshow of pictures and wrote notes from Camden, Parker, and himself...so thoughtful!

I also have the best Mom in the world! She supports, encourages, and loves me. She is my best friend and my biggest fan. She has been such a positive influence in my life and I'm so thankful for her! I hope I can be like her someday!

In addition to my Mom, I have two fabulous mom-in-laws. They have made me feel welcomed and loved since Jonathan and I started dating and continue to do so. Thank you for raising such an amazing guy! :)

First Mommy's Day with this sweet one.

My little guy (Camden wasn't into pics at this point).

My favorite boys!

Love them!

Big Boy and Baseball

We went to a baseball game on Easter (the first one for both of the boys) and ever since then, Camden is obsessed with it! Everything about baseball...the uniforms, the songs, the mascots, the positions, the bat, the ball, the glove. He really wanted a glove to be "like the big guys." So, here he is with his first one. I'm guessing we'll be buying more of these in bigger sizes as time goes on!

This one is a little blurry, but I had to post it because it's a real smile!

Ready to play

I'm not sure what's going on here, but that's quite the pose!

Easter Goodies from Gramps and Grammy

My parents made Camden's day! They sent him a "cool" Easter basket that he could not wait to open! He was so excited to check out all of the goods inside. Thanks, Gramps and Grammy!

"Camden hold basket, Mommy take picture."

"Look at this, Mommy!"

Mini football, baseball, and basketball. This boy loves balls!
