If it's too cold for anything else...

Hop in the hot tub for an hour ...or two!  Christian & Camden had a blast!  When we finally came in, Christian kept saying "My do dat 'gain when Daddy home.  Dat weally weally hun (really really fun)!"

Playing in the pasture+ your birthday + cupcake = little boy paradise :)

Here's a better slideshow of Camden's whole 2 years :)

Camden's Birthday Party ....

Thank you to everyone for making it so great for our sweet baby boy!!

Just a quick tip...

If you're ever weedeating near your AC unit, make sure not to catch the tiny little unprotected wire that is randomly sticking out the back.  It can, or in our case DID, cause the entire AC unit to stop working.  I did this 2 days ago- now the temp in most of our house is slightly higher than comfortable!  *Sigh*....so much for trying to help out the hubby....

Happy Birthday to my BABY BOY!!!

I absolutely cannot believe that Camden is 2!  It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating his ONE year birthday....and 2 days before that, we were bringing him home from the hospital! Definitely bittersweet.  I did make Camden a video, but due to copyright laws, I cannot use the audio that is in his video on YouTube.  Therefore, I had to swap the very sweet audio that I had on there... "Beautiful Boy" was the original song.  I swapped it to something YouTube had to offer ("Arms Wide Open")..although it doesnt seem to be working---I'm going to post it without sound so that you could all at least see the pictures...

Camden,

Happy birthday baby boy!  Please slow down on this whole growing thing. Your mama is having a hard time keeping up!  You came into our world 2 years ago today, and everyone who knows you is a better person for having known you!  You have a spunky little BIG personality that is so cute and funny.  You love giving hugs and kisses... and I love it too.  I dread the day that you outgrow the constant urge to want to be held and loved on by me.  I can understand everything you tell me in your 5-7 word sentences.  You definitely let me know when you want something and exactly what you want and when you want it (now)!  You imitate pretty much everything Christian says and does and have small conversations with him-- so cute!  Anytime you get in trouble, you immediately say "Give you hug!" and hug me and say "be 'weet!" so that you can cuteness your way out of trouble ;) You currently refer to yourself as "Ham" or "Hamon"..or when asked your full name, you respond "Hamon 'Cott Bwah-bwah".  Your favorite song right now is a ZumbAtomic song, "Chihuahua".  You also sing "I like it" (Enrique Iglesias) and "Blue skies" (the song I sing to you and Christian every night).  The current obsessive show at our house is Toy Story, thus the Toy Story birthday you're having tomorrow :) You count to three and know most of the colors.    You are such a joy in my life.  I honestly cannot imagine how much less colorful, funny, and happy my life would be without you in it.  You are such a silly little boy.  I love you more than words can say-- don't you ever forget it!

Hey!

Wow, what GORGEOUS weather we have had lately!  This morning I took Christian to school and then worked on our backyard (filling in holes dug by a certain dog named Shelby), weed-eating, etc.  Camden played with Nini most the time- thanks Nini!  I think we'll go get some flowers this afternoon and the kiddos can help me plant them ... I LOVE this time of year!  Today was also group picture day for Christian's class... I just cannot WAIT to see the "Scott-look" expression that I'm sure he plastered on for the pic ;)

Yesterday, Popo kept Camden for SEVEN, yes SEVEN, hours!  Scott, Christian, and I went to Dallas to buy Scott's "new" work/running around in car.  It is a mustang....and it just so happens to be YELLOW...bright, bright yellow.  Popo called it a canary, Coco called it a bumblebee.... I prefer sunflower myself ;)  Oh well, it is in really good shape for a '99 Mustang with only 68k miles on it!  Christian acted like such a little sweetheart for the 7 hour trip!  We had to stop in the Apple store in the Northpark mall for Scott's to get a new iPhone (his quit working) so while we were waiting, we checked out the Disney store ... oh my goodness, that is probably the coolest place ever!  I had never been... and I'm pretty sure Christian had a smile on his face the whole time we were in there!  Yes, yes, he got to pick one toy and we brought home Cam one toy :) A HUGE THANK YOU TO POPO FOR KEEPING CAMDEY! I know he had a blast.


I cannot believe my baby turns 2 tomorrow.  It seems like we JUST had his first birthday! Stay tuned for a sure to be tear-jerker birthday post tomorrow :)
