Neighbor Update

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for our neighbor. Some friends organized an early birthday party for her son (who turns four at the end of next month) this past Saturday.  She was determined to go and she went.  It appears that was what she was holding on for as she passed away early this morning.  Please continue praying for her husband and little guy.

Swimming Lessons

Camden is not a water baby.  At all.  He doesn't mind getting in the pool, but he does not want the water anywhere near his face (this is true in the bath too). Rumor has it, his Daddy was the same way! :)  Turns out he had private lessons in his own backyard to get him to put his face in the water.  Like father, like son.  Now, however, Jonathan loves the water.  He ended up surfing throughout high school and is a huge fan of snorkeling.  Maybe, just maybe, Camden will like it someday!

 His head is supposed to be on her shoulder while he kicks

 Waiting for his turn

 Kick, kick, kick

 Back float with Miss Courtney!  Gotta love the NW...no tans here!

We're 4 for 4

It's official, the whole family loves cereal!  Parker just joined the rest of us by becoming a fan of our favorite breakfast food.  Our pantry is always stocked with at least seven boxes!  It's no joke, we love this stuff!  Here's Parker finishing off my bowl of cereal on a couple different mornings.  

The Hubs and Our Big Boy

An impromptu photo session with Jonathan and Camden led to a few smiles and lots of funny faces!

Second T-ball Practice

Don't worry, I won't post pictures from every practice, I just had to show you a few shots of Camden in his baseball pants!  He is loving T-ball!  We're bummed this week is the last one (it's actually next week, but we'll be at Family Camp).

 Playing 1st base again

 Cheering on his team

 How sweet is that...they're brothers

 It was hot for these NW kids!  Look at Camden's rosy cheeks!

 Running hard

 Outfield

 Awesome stance, bud!

 Parker continues to busy himself with the spare baseballs

 He likes to throw them everywhere and usually hits someone!

 Taking a break to watch his brother

Mesmerized by the guy kicking goals.  He sat down on his own and watched him for quite some time.

Take a Hike (Tahoe post #6)

I love hiking!  Camden did great and Parker went along for the ride in the Ergo.  Fun times!

 Just being crazy!

 "Fishing"

 Love my boys!

Gramps and Grammy were there too!

Bike Riding (Tahoe Post #5)

We have some staple Tahoe activities (like I've mentioned) and one of those is bike riding.  The timeshare has bikes so it's convenient and fun!  The boys rocked it in the burley while Gramps pulled them along!

 Ready to roll!

 Big head + helmet + new walker = a bit unsteady

 Let's do this!

 1st stop...Starbucks!  This kid is always hungry!

 Next stop...the Squaw Valley Fire Station.  Camden loved every minute!  The fire chief, Pete, was the nicest guy!  The boys sat in a few trucks and he answered all of Camden's questions (he had a lot)

 Parker in the antique truck they now use in parades

 Crazy driver!

 3rd stop...the park!  It was a beautiful day!  The boys loved swinging with Gramps and Grammy!

The burley put Parker to sleep on both of our rides!
