Neighborhood Talent Show


 Ok this was hilarious!  Our church did a neighborhood talent show.  Mackenzie wanted to sing and play her guitar.  I wasn't sure how it was going to go down.  She first said she wanted to sing "Radio active" and then she talked about singing "Up Town Funk you Up".  I tried to talk her into something different.  Anyway, she got up there and the lady held the microphone to her and said "what are you going to do tonight Mackenzie?"  And Kenzie said, "I am going to sing like a rock star!"  Needless to say we all started laughing so hard!  The best part is she ended up playing the guitar and not singing at all.  I have a video of it, but couldn't load it...I will try again so check back!


Cameron was so excited to enter a painting of "the beautiful sunset and mountains" you can see on the stand in the picture.  And a picture he drew of a frog (below the painting).  He worked hard on these pictures.  He talks about being a famous artist and selling his paintings someday :)  I think mostly because Grammy has told him he is such a good artist and has talked to him about famous artists who sell their paintings/pictures for a lot of money....LOL

Indoor soccer


Another successful winter 2015 indoor soccer session with Daddy coaching.  Cameron had a lot of fun.  I think he scored 8 goals in on of the games, but he averaged at least 5 a game!


 Grammy and Grampy were able to come to a few of his games.  He always gets excited when they come to cheer him on!

Valentine's Day 2015


We got back from Florida the day before Valentine's Day...so good thing I was prepared and planned ahead with their presents!  I LOVE the tradition my mom and dad did for us, so I continue it on with my kids.  We hid in our rooms and they knocked after leaving a gift.  



The kids were so excited and happy with their gifts.  The bubble tape was their favorite :)



Cameron was more excited for me to go in my room and for him to leave a present.  He couldn't wait!  I opened the present to find the cutest Mickey Mouse colorful bracelet.  He had picked it out all by himself while we were in Florida and showed it to Jeremy for him to buy me!  Seriously could this kid get any more thoughtful...here we are in Florida, and he is thinking of getting me something for Valentine's Day!  I love him!  I remember walking around the store with him and then all of a sudden he went out of the store, he was walking with something behind his back but wouldn't let me see it.  He kept telling me it was nothing and to go back in the store, he was just looking for dad.  I knew he had something, and thought he was trying to steal it.  Come to find out later he took it out of the store to show Jeremy and get him in the store to buy it.  He didn't want me to see it and he couldn't tell me.  Such a great kid!  He wanted a picture of him giving me the bracelet so this is the picture we took :)

Florida Fun




 We went to Florida in February for Grammy T's wedding.  It was such a beautiful and fun wedding on the beach.  Cameron was proud to be the ring bearer and Mackenzie was so cute as a flower girl!




These pictures turned out so cute. 



The next day we all went to the beach and had fun playing in the sand.  It wasn't really super warm, and unfortunately it was windy.  However, the kids had a blast digging in the sand and collecting sea shells.  Cameron was excited to take the shells home to put in Grammy and Grampy's shell collection.  Mackenzie wanted to get Aunt Margo a shell from the beach.



Monday we headed to Disney World....good thing we were going to the park the next day, it didn't rain on us.  We were worried when we were driving in this!


 Mackenzie was so brave to kiss Donald's hand LOL


Cameron couldn't wait to plant a kiss on Daisy.  These statues were outside our hotel room.  We got there late and it was rainy.  The kids thought we were going to the park and were sad we had to wait until the morning.  So these statues helped a little :)


You always have to get this picture...right?!


Cameron and his maps crack me up.  He loves to look at them and figure out where we are.  

 Buzz tickled Cameron and commented on his spiky hair.  Actually every character that Cameron went up to, touched his hair and then touched their own hair and were 'talking' about his spiky hair.


Cameron was picking a winner... he thought that would be a funny picture!


We debated about bringing our stroller all the way to Florida...but it was one of the best decisions we made.  She got a little nap in, and the boys went on a big ride, and I got myself a funnel cake :)


Grammy and Grampy gave them money to buy some things while they were there.  They both wanted swords...so they bought these with some of their money.  Kenzie was hilarious, she wanted the eye patch too!


We joined in at the dance party.  Cameron and I were dancing until Mrs. Incredible came along!  Then he danced with Mr. Incredible and Freeze too.  So fun!


We did a day at Sea World.  Cameron wanted Shamu's autograph, but all we had was the disney world map for him to sign.  So he got out of line, took Cameron by the hand and they walked over to get a Sea World map for him to sign.




Lego Land was awesome.  I wish we had more time there!  They closed so early because of the season (sea world did too...we got jipped at both parks).  Anyway, we went there with Jonathan, Amber and cousin Trey and Lydia.  It was a fun day!





Everything is Awesome!  I was the only one who got to meet Emmett.  Everyone else was eating lunch at a hamburger place, and I wanted to go see what else there was to eat.  So I wandered over to a sandwich place or something, and Emmett was just walking by!



Cameron cracks me up!  He wanted to pretend like Darth Mal was hitting him and he was falling back.



Peek a boo!


The last night we were eating dinner and Cameron started writing on a napkin.  He asked me how to spell something.  So he said he was writing a note to the people saying "thanks for letting us stay at the hotel" and he wanted to leave it on the door when we left.  Soooo sweet!  He is so thoughtful.  I said to him, why don't you say thanks for keeping our room clean while we stayed at the hotel.  I said they didn't really "let" us stay here, it wasn't free....nothing is free.  And Cameron says back, "yes it is, our Country is free!"  And there you have it, out of the mouth of a 5 year old :)



After we checked out of the hotel we went to the Marriott where Jonathan and Amber were staying and crashed their hotel and pool.  They were at the park all day and we needed something to do for 5 hours before our plane left.  So we swam and hung out at the beach.  Then showered and left for home.



Luckily we had a direct flight both ways.  It was a red eye flight.  I loved it because we didn't waste a day flying!  This is how we started the flight,


This is how we finished the flight.  Halfway through Mackenzie crawled on the floor and fell asleep and Cameron sprawled out on the seats and fell asleep.  Oh I wish I could sleep on a plane!  We had a blast and hated to leave.  We crammed a lot into a short time!
