CA girls

Four of my fabulous friends from college visited a few weekends ago. It was great to see them!  I definitely miss all of my peeps from CA, but I don't think I realized how much I missed them until they were here.  Lyndsy and I share the same birthday so they flew out to celebrate.  Lyns also brought her 8-month-old, Landon.  He is SO cute and pure entertainment!  Deanna, Kim, Whitney, and Lyndsy (looks weird to have their "real" names on here--I don't call any of them those)...thank you so much for coming out to CO!  I love and miss you!

A few of my favorite girls...Whit, Nim, Lyns, and Deed

All of us and the babies

Thanks again, girls.  Come back soon!  xoxo

Getting ready to go to a baby shower with mommy on March 21st.

Happy St. Patty's Day!

One more shot of the green shirt.

Showing off some thigh rolls...love it!

Close ups

Oh I just LOVE him!

Yum!

Camden has been eating rice cereal for the past couple of weeks now.  He is a hungry boy so we thought we would introduce solids.  He does a great job eating it and loves gnawing on the spoon too!

A little tilted in the Bumbo while eating.

Even more tilted.  Maybe it helps it go down easier. :)

All done!

Mr. Bear (sponge) Retires

Mr. Bear has been with us from day one.  He provided extra padding and support for our little guy during bath time.  However, he has seen better days (see last pic) and it is time for him to call it quits.  Here are a couple photos of Camden's last bath with his buddy.

Why?

Why does a 4th grade boy pick his nose in class?  Why does he then proceed to eat his boogies? Why did I watch it all happen?  Gross! We are state testing right now which means I am bored out of mind!  I just circle the room approximately 812 times while the room is dead silent and the kids sit through an unbelievably difficult test for their little 9 and 10-year-old brains.  As I circle, I make sure they are doing the correct session and that they are not doing anything to the booklets that would impact their scores.  One student in particular has a habit of folding pages and writing on his lap rather than using the desk, so I watch him a bit closer.  At one point I glance over to check on him and he is digging in his nose.  Apparently I caught the tail end of the "treasure hunt" because he then stuck that little finger of his right in his mouth and began to chew...yes, chew!  Ugh!

Extra special day

Today is a big day...Jonathan is turning 28, Camden is turning 5 months, and exactly one year ago today we found out we were going to be parents!  Whoa, that's a lot!  

Jonathan, happy birthday!  You are more than I ever hoped or prayed for.  Thank you for being my best friend, the best husband, and the best daddy.  I love you so much!  

Camden, you are so big!  You are the best baby!  I love how you scrunch your nose when I kiss your cheeks.  I love your high-pitched happy squeals.  I love your laugh.  What did I do 5 months ago without you?

March 3, 2008...good thing I went to the dentist!  A little recap for most of you: they were going to take X-rays and asked if there was a chance I was pregnant.  Being off the pill, there was a chance, but I told them I doubt it.  They skipped the X-rays.  I went to Target right after the dentist, purchased a couple of tests and the double lines appeared!  

One year later, here I am with a sweet baby boy and a 28-year-old hubby!  What a day!
