Off to work

Cameron was putting a bunch of toys and stuff in his green bag the other morning and kept saying he was going to work.  Then while we were eating breakfast he said he needed his work shirt on, and I said "what is your work shirt?"  He pointed to Jeremy's shirt and said "like that one, like daddy's".  So I went in his room and got him his button down, polo, church shirt and put it on him.  After breakfast Jeremy put his coat on and got his bag, so Cameron went and got his coat to put on and picked up his bag.  He told me "bye mommy, I'm going to work, see you later, I love you."  Then he walked out to the garage with Jeremy and was frustrated that he couldn't really go to work with him.  So we pretended he was going to work downstairs in his play room and I took his computer down there.  He got bored after 5 minutes of being at "work" and came up to play and watch t.v.  I think it's so cute to watch Cameron and how he looks up to his daddy and wants to be like him.  I love watching them interact and see how much Cameron loves his daddy!

Fun with cousins

It was Macey's 6th birthday today, she had some friends (and cousins) go to Family Fun Center.  Cameron really wanted to try to skate, so of course I let him try!  They had skates that went over his shoes.  The first time around the track he held my hand.  Then he used the skate helper thing.  He did really well and had fun.

Cameron and Molly cruising the hummer

Cameron got pretty confident and insisted he skate up this ramp and off the jump!  He got mad when I held onto the thing to help him, so I decided to take a picture instead :)

Mackenzie slept some of the time and the rest of the time she smiled...

...and tried to eat her toes.

Cameron did such a good job skating.  I thought it was cute how he just wanted to try it and didn't even know what it was or what to do....I put the skates on him and he just went!  It was a fun day and he was exhausted after 3 hours of skating, bounce zone, and the jungle place.  Which made for a good nap :)  I think I will take him there again in the morning....they have a mom's deal....I only paid $8 for unlimited fun...we could have stayed until 4 if we wanted!

5 month old

I have been really busy and have slacked on blogging about Mackenzie.  She has started rolling over and mastered rolling from her back to her stomach and then back over on February 5th (this was the same day Cameron was potty trained!) a very exciting day for both of them.  She enjoys eating baby food and carrots seem to be her favorite.  Everyone told us that once she started on rice cereal she would sleep longer, but that hasn't worked for her unfortunately!  She is a horrible sleeper, the longest she has slept is 3 hours straight!!  That is usually at the beginning of the night and then it just gets progressively shorter and shorter to 20 or 30 minute increments.  Jeremy and I are zombies and we just hope and pray that one day she will learn how to sleep better.  She is such a happy girl for not getting much sleep.  She takes 3 or 4 naps daily that are about 20 minutes each....if one of her naps happens to be the same time Cameron naps then I get to hold her and she sleeps longer about 1 hour.  Either way I don't get much done during the day except play with and enjoy my little twerps!  It is such a fun job I have, I wouldn't trade it for anything :)

Valentines party

We look forward to Grammy and Grampy's Valentine party every year...it's always a blast!  We meet at Family Fun Center to eat, play and laugh the night away.

Grammy and Mackenzie holding the sack she made for her with her Valentine present in it.  The cousins always have fun giving Valentines' to each other in their sacks.

Cameron found a lemon hiding in the balls....

Cameron and mommy on a taxi ride.  He had fun using his tokens to play games, but her mostly liked to ride the rides.

In the bounce zone where Cameron had a BLAST (quite literally as you will see in the videos below).  He  always has so much fun playing with his cousins, they are so nice to help him and make sure he is okay.  When everyone went to play lazer tag mommy and Kenzie came in the bounce zone with Cameron and jumped around in the toddler area.  Kenzie thought it was pretty fun.

 Spencer and Troy hanging out in the jungle

Grampy making Mackenzie smile....it doesn't take much, she is such a happy girl.  Her smile is so contagious and cute.

We were laughing so hard when Janessa bounced Cameron the first time....we had no idea how far he would really fly.  So then I got my camera and started filming.  As always the first one was the best and I didn't get it on camera, but these other ones were pretty funny too!  We are already looking forward to the party next year.  Thanks again Grammy and Grammpy!

Too cute

I love my kids!!  We were at Training Table eating lunch last Saturday and Cameron was making Mackenzie laugh.  It was so cute, Jeremy caught the last little bit on his phone....but of course they had been doing it for so long that this wasn't even the best of it!

I love how fun nice, kind and loving Cameron is with his sister and how she lights up when she sees him. She knows that is her brother and there is something so special about their bond!

I love to hear them laugh!

Bye bye diapers...

I LOVE how happy and proud of himself he is in this picture. 

I bought Cameron this little musical potty before Mackenzie was born, but just didn't have the energy or desire to potty train him.  So a few months ago I got the potty out and would just have him go when he wakes up and after bath time.  The last 2 weeks I put a little more focus on it and would ask him if he needed to go several times a day.  He would go those times and got really excited when he would go....of course the excitement might have been because I gave him a ring pop every time he went.  Well I am happy to say that Cameron is potty trained. He still likes his little potty but usually goes on the big potty all by himself. On Sunday after Jeremy's family all went home I decided to put Cameron in underwear and really work on it the whole day.  He caught right on and hasn't had any accidents yet.  He even asks to get out of the bath when he needs to go potty, he goes and then gets back in the tub (I'm pretty sure Jeremy doesn't even do that lol) Cameron has the #1 down great, but hasn't tried #2 yet....hopefully it won't be a big deal for him.  I'm not sure what I plan to give him for #2 since I give him ring pops for #1...guess I started out too big huh?  

I bought a bunch of cute Mickey underwear and he thinks it pretty cool he gets to wear big boy underwear now.

Future underwear model???

Bed & Breakfast :)

Jeremy's dad planned a ski vacation for all the siblings.  Of course he planned it the year we have had the least amount of snow in a winter!  But it was considered great snow for those coming from California, Florida & Texas :)

Jeremy's brother and his family stayed with us!  It was so fun to get to know Trey (5) and Lydia (3) Cameron was in heaven for the 5 days they were here.  He was so bored when they left.  He got used to having someone to play with from the time he got up until the time he went to bed.  I caught a few Kodak moments.  Trey and Cameron were sitting on the couch watching TV and as Cameron kept saying "we are sharing snacks".

Another cute Kodak moment....Cameron "sharing a sucker with Lydia", I thought it was funny they went and sat on the stairs.

 Jeremy's grandparents just moved into an assisted living place so we all went to visit them.

The kids had lots of fun at the circus.  Cameron didn't get a nap that afternoon however, so he fell asleep halfway through it and woke up for the last half hour.  Mackenzie also fell asleep.  Good thing Cameron, Mackenzie and I got to ride an elephant before the circus started and everyone fell asleep :)  It was fun and something Cameron couldn't stop talking about after.

Uncle Jonathan, Lydia and Cameron

Uncle Garry and Aunt Amber with the kiddos.

Lydia and Cameron had fun in the bath together.  

We went to a BYU basketball game one night, kids went tubing, took family pictures, and went skiing.  I didn't get any pictures of us skiing, but it was such a beautiful day and we had lots of fun!  We also had everyone over for dinner one night to celebrate Amber's birthday.  We had a full house, but it was great to have family all together.  Too bad the last day some people got sick with strep!! And too bad some family didn't get to stay very long.  But good thing everyone had fun.
