a trike ride and the park

 Parker's first ride on the trike

 You can't tell, but he loved it!

 Camden giving him a push

 My big guy at the park

 A little too bright for him to look up at the camera 

 One more try

Camden is a different kid at the park these days.  He used to be so cautious and timid, now he just goes for it!

Rewind: Valentine's Day 2012

 The Valentine's Camden gave to his classmates 

(so thankful for creative websites to help me out)

 Teddy Grahams and gummy bears were in the bag

 A heart-shaped bowl filled with treats for his teachers

 Who is this kid?  Doesn't even look like Camden to me!

 Heart pancakes and a couple of goodies for V-Day breakfast

Valentine cards from his friends along with projects he made at school and CBS

Some Good Lovin'

Both of the boys give one another some good lovin'! Camden will randomly give Parker a hug or kiss (so sweet) and Parker has started to do the same.  In this little sequence the boys are playing for a bit before going to bed and Parker decides to hug his big brother!  Love it!

 Checking out the toy

 Goes in for the hug!

 Camden is done and trying to move away, but Parker isn't finished yet!

The little guy isn't giving up!

Treasure in the Toy Box

Parker went over to the toy box with something very specific in mind.  I was trying to help him out, but everything I handed him or pointed to was not what he wanted.  I would've never guessed what he was after, so it's a good thing he grabbed it on his own!

 Diggin' in the toy box

 Mommy, help me out here, I can't find what I'm looking for!

 Hmmm...I've taken all these toys out and I still don't see it!

 Oh!  I just spotted it!

 Got it!

 See, Mommy, I was looking for this baseball card

...so I could chew on it!

The Vacuum

Camden and Parker have quite a few personality differences.  At 13-months-old (these pics are from mid-February), Camden did not like the vacuum...or any loud noises for that matter.  He was a mellow fellow and wanted everything around him to be the same.  Still, at 3.5, he's not a huge fan of the vacuum.  Parker, on the other hand, loves it!  Loud noises?  No problem!  The product of being a second child, perhaps!

 Sitting in the middle of the rug right after his nap just waiting for Daddy to make that thing move!

 Woohoo!  This is great!

 Yay for the vacuum!

 So fun!

 Thanks, Daddy, I just love that thing!

 Meanwhile, Camden is in the other room doing stickers

 Concentrating

 Happy to be far from that noisy thing!

Post-nap snack face!

Flashback Friday

April 27, 2010

Camden was almost 20 months in this picture.  Daddy was already living in WA while we stayed in CO trying to sell our house.  Look at that chubby, sweet face! :)

Outdoor Fun!

Last weekend was beautiful!  We had a picnic in the front yard, went to our neighbor's baseball game, then had some fun with water!  Camden played with the big kids (they were chasing each other with cups full of water) and Parker played with his new "water table" (a gift from Grammy. Thanks, Mom, he loves it!).

 Ready for a baseball game!

 He loves being outside!

 Helping Daddy with some yard work

 Everyone sweeps their yard, right?!

 Ready to rock the water table

 Silly face

 Getting a drink

 Fun!

 Watching his big bro

 Camden stopped by to put more water in for Parker

 Then he was off (that's why there aren't many pics of him)!

He was loving it!

April 21-22

Mid-April Sunshine!

Beautiful weather on the weekend means a lot of fun family time outside!  

 Standing on his own!  We're making progress!

 Parker LOVES slides!

 Sitting in a boat at the zoo

 Gorillas!

 Love this kid!

 Komodo dragon

 At this point, my goal in life is to get them both looking and smiling for one picture!

 Casey (lives across the street) walking with Parker (who is obviously over it)

 So happy to have the ball the big kids were playing with

 Sweet boy

 Casey loves our boys and we love her!  She is such a great girl!

 Balla!
