Girls Weekend

The title says it all. Merri drove in from Portland and we had so much fun together. Dave took the kids to my Mom's house (thank you Mom, and Dave a million times over). We went to the spa, she got a massage and I got a pedicure. We walked around downtown Bend and looked at some of the eclectic shops. We also had to hit the Old Mill district. We had a wonderful lunch and shopped, mostly for our kids....isn't that funny. We had plans to see a movie, but mostly we spent time talking. I even lost my voice. It was a much needed break for me. I have felt on over-load for a long time, and sure needed some me/adult time. We might even make this a yearly tradition. I wanted to take so many pictures, but my camera is on it's last leg...this one picture was the only one that kind of turned out. :( My new camera is on it's way!

This is for you Caitlin...

Do you remember this shirt that you gave to Cameron when you were going to BYU? Well now it fits Brandt, I had to take some pictures of him wearing it...just for you. We still have the BYU teddy bear too. :)

TEETH!!!

My little Brandt has got himself a brand new set of teeth. He has been working on them for a while. I was playing with him this afternoon and there they were! It is like they just showed up. SOOOO cute. He is growing up way too fast, I even had to upgrade his carseat because he was getting too big. Now he has to sit in the shopping carts like a big boy. :( Of course I have the fitted padding that fits over the germ infested carts, and I wipe it down with sanitizing wipes before that...and I wash his hands after we leave the store. Do you think I am a bit paranoid? Nah, not me...we can just call it "protective". :)

Cameron Michael: Spring 2009

Here is a picture of Cameron, in a new Spring outfit. I think he looks so grown up and cute. I just had to put it on here. ~He is starting to write his name, ( he just mixes up a couple letters)He is a great debater, he knows how to BBQ a hot dog. He can color in the lines with great precise. He knows how to work the PS3 WAY better than me. Just a few things that this 4 year old is learning to do.

Spring = Flowers

I took Cameron to the store, and he got to pick out whatever flowers (within limits of course)he wanted. It was so fun! We came home had to rake the winter "gunk" away....and then we got to planting. I think it turned out pretty well. The bad news is we went back to Washington for a week and it snowed 4 inches in Bend while we were away. :( The flowers do not look as good as before. Oh well, it was a fun time and we can just do it again!

Spring Festival

Our neighborhood had a Spring festival today. Here are a few pictures of the festival. (If I would have gone there would have been a lot more, ha ha) :)

Brandt and Coco

I know it seems like Brandt is always in his jumpy bouncer, but he really does like it. :) Anyway, Coco always goes and sits or sleeps next to him while he jumps. It is very sweet. It is hard to take a picture when a baby is going wild, but Coco was sound asleep right next to him . I could not figure it out. She is a very cautious cat. (won't go near Cameron) I think she must sense how sweet and gentle Brandt is. :) :) :)
