the older they get the longer the post...

Today Camden turned 4 years old!! Wow, she is getting up there. I was looking through all the old pictures and thinking, man that seems like forever ago, but at the same time, just yesterday! Oh, how we love this little girl!!
Always such a happy little monkey!!

I asked Camden what she loves to do and what she wants me to put on her birthday post, so here is what my big girl said...

She loves to go swimming!

She loves to color and paint!

She loves to play pretend and dressup!

She loves to play outside when it is warm!

She loves being a big sister!

She loves school!

She loves to play with her friends!

She loves her baby sister(she hopes)!

3 yr old pic!!

Camden is such an easy going kid we just can't get enough of her!!

The last thing that she says that she loves is her new earrings!!(I will post about that and her fun birthday later)

"Mommy wook!!"

Camden was always a book kid. She loved books when she was little and she still does. Cawa's on the other hand not so much! Usually he just makes Camden mad by hitting the pages and gabbing loudly through the whole book. Although Cawa's doesn't like to read books that doesn't mean he lacks the attention span. It is quite fascinating cause he can't sit through a 5 page book but he can sit for hours (literally hours, ask Ruth) looking through motorcycle magazines. Turning the pages at pictures of motorcycles and gear. He says "mommy wook, wook!!(look)" over and over again. Funny, huh!! I wonder where he gets it then i go lay down for the night and oh yeah, his dad does the exact same thing!! Boys and their toys!!

it's all done...

So forever ago i asked if anyone had any extra licence plates laying around... remember that? Ya, like i said forever ago. Well they were for Cawa's room and i have had it finished for awhile now i just never posted anything but i have had a few requests to see the finished product. So here it is.

His empty room!! Before pics!!!
Putting up the brick!!

Now the finished product!! After pics!!

Thanks to my amazing husband for the bed, laundry hamper and frames. Thanks to my mom for helping me with the quilt. And thanks to my Dad for all the licence plates!!! and Melinda for the awesome New York and Texas ones!!

Sorry the reflection sucks!!

I was proud of my curtains. I made them myself with left over scraps from his quilt. And my big "C" is a little lopsided but thats cause i cut it out with the saw myself.(Never a good idea)

I even got as far to organize the closet which stays very nice and organized thanks to my -OCD toy putting away where it goes- problem!!!

Party Time!!

For Cawa's birthday last week we were in Utah so we decided to have a party for him. My amazing mother-in-law made all of the pizza and we had to food and cake part at her house!! So a huge thank you to her!!
We went swimming at the Clearfield aquatic center (which was really fun)!! Here are some of the non-swimming spectators!!!

Camden loved the big slide!! Her face says it all!!

This is proof that even I got in the swimming pool. It may not have been a pretty sight but i sacrificed for my baby!!

Cawa's was having a rough day because of his lip but he still had fun on the baby slide. He wanted to go over and over again.

Grandma bought Cawa's this train set for his birthday and he love, love, loves it. It has been set up everyday since his birthday. Thanks Grandma and thanks to everyone who came to Cawa's party!!

Even Uncle Jay!!

I love this pic!!!

the perfect birthday...almost

Cawa's had such a good birthday, til the very end. We were at Grandma and Grandpa's house so that is a plus from the start. Grandma started out the day with pancakes and a morning birthday song!!
We had a fun day with Grandma and Grandpa. We went out to eat, went to a basketball game, then finished the day off with cake and presents!!

Patiently waiting for his present to be put together.

Having so much fun, playing with Cawa's new basketball hoop. Camden was getting really good at making it. She celebrated everytime!!

This is Cawa's face when he missed!!

Cawa's was so excited playing with his toys, he was running around playing so happily and then....disaster hit!

He fell off the window seat and put his top teeth through his bottom lip. And he ripped that little piece of gum on the top lip thats connected to the front teeth. He was bleeding all over and miserable that night and all the next day.

This is the outside of his lip. (don't mind his dirty mouth, he won't let me clean it very good, still) this picture was taken today so his poor injury happened 3 days ago.

Here is the inside of his lip. It's kind of gross, sorry if you have a weak stomach. It looks like his teeth cause it's white but that is the inside of his lip.

I am hoping that it heals right. I am a little worried but what do you do now!!

Mr. Cawa's is 2!!

My baby is 2!!

Wow, where did the time go? He was so little and sweet, and it doesn't seem that long ago! I will try not to go on and on about my baby but i will tell you a few things that Mr. Cawa's loves!!!

He loves his big sister!!
He loves to cook, bake or do anything in the kitchen!!

He loves his daddy!

He loves motorcycles(dirt bikes)!

He loves choo-choo trains!!
He loves to cuddle with his mom and dad at night!

1st birthday!!!

He loves splashing in any kind of water!!

He loves his pa-pa's very very much!
He loves to be with his dad in the garage!

Cawa's is such a fun part of our family and we love him very, very much!!!

Holy Baby Powder!!!

Last night we were all just hangin out being lazy and the kids were playing by me while i sat on the couch playing on the computer. They decided to play in Cawa's room which has most of the toys so that is normal. They shut the door, which normally we don't let them but hey i said i was being lazy. So they were playing for like 25 mins or so and laughing hysterically (which should have been my first clue) anyway they were having fun, so then a few mins later Cawa's comes out and shows me a little thing a baby powder which i don't even pay attention (bad mom and my second clue). I didn't even look at him then he ran back into his room, passing Brook in the hall and Brook said "Whats wrong with his pants?" Lightbulb!!! and this is what i find...

Pure joy with a fine layer of white powder on top (of everything)!!!
It was actually really cute cause they said they were learning how to change a babys diaper, to get ready for the new baby.

How on earth do you get mad at this sweet little innocent face?!?

You don't, i just laughed and cleaned it up. I asked Camden if she was going to play with baby powder again and she said "No... it's all gone!"

At least i will have some good helpers when the baby comes. But i think i need some more baby powder!!!
