Back to school day with grandma, girls night out, and a super fun trip to walmart

Camden gave Keagan and Kaiden transformer and spiderman shaving kits for his birthday. The boys shave several times a day. Good thing they are keeping all those dang whiskers away!


The other day Keagan came and got me and said, "Mom, Kaid is playing in the water." this is major no no in our house because the boys get a little out of control. So as I walk toward the bathroom (door closed) I said, "Kaid, are you playing in water?" I open the door as he says, "no mom! It wasn't me!!!" Hmm, all evidence to the contrary! I am a little nervous about this kid!

This is what I get for thinking a mom of three boys can wear white pants! This little handprint was so perfect, I couldn't resist a picture

Camden just chillin in the bathtub. (one of his favorite places ever!) Maybe a little too relaxed!

a sweet moment with the boys. They were so cute taking such good care of Cam

On Tuesday my mom came and picked up Keagan and Kaiden to have a back to school lunch. They went out to Wingers and then to see the incredible hulk. Maybe not so much for young kids, but it was the backup plan since the Dinosaur museum had a line all the way to China. When Abomination appeared on the screen Keagan screamed out "Oh man, I have waited my whole life to see him!!" We had loads of fun with five kids 7 and under running around the theatre. Good stuff!

My cute mom made these back to school bags filled with school supplies for all the school age grandkids.

We wrapped up the day at Grandma's house where they got to watch Super Mario Brothers in Grandma's bed. Super huge thanks to super grandma!!

My cute mom and sister Lori and I decided we deserved a night out. We went to Bon Lossee (sp?) for scalp treatments which is always wonderful! Lori got the super treatment with two girls styling her hair.

Mom with her straight hair that looked so cute but was driving her nuts.

After hair we headed over to Mimi's Cafe where mom treated us to yummy dinner. (Don't worry that it only took us about 15 min to decide where to eat, we are pathetic!) After dinner we partied it up crazy style looking at baby stuff and shopping for fabric. We are hard core! So sad that we finally had a night out and we were too tired to do anything, but it was so much fun to just be together! I wish the rest of the girls could have been there too!!

This is my tired little baby after a super fun trip at walmart. The picture doesn't even do the shopping experience justice. I will just give you a taste of the fun Cam was at the store today...
First thing we got hair gel that cam opened and smeared all over his hair (that's when I buckled him in the front of the cart)
Next he reached back and opened the danimal yogurt drinks and girgled yogurt everywhere!! (Floor, clothes, groceries, yum!)
Then he decided it would be so fun to dump the entire dozen eggs everywhere- thank you! my favorite mess!
Finally we got in the car to go home and he reached over and tore open the brownie mix that he thought he should probably shake all over the car.
Did I mention how much I love shopping with my kids!! (Keep in mind that Keagan and Kaiden are running circles around the store as Camden is trashing it!)
Can't wait to take all FOUR of them shopping!
I really should get paid to buy groceries!

Camden's birthday party in crazy weather, what's new??

It started out as a beautiful day, sunny sky, warm weather, balloons, cupcakes, etc. Then the friends started to come and so did the storm. I don't know what it is about my kids birthday parties, but I cannot throw a party without extreme wind or rain.
-

My cute little niece Addie

Heather, Lisa, Janet, Me, and Summer... some of my very loyal friends who come to these crazy parties even though they know they will either blow away, get rained on or freeze. Thank you, I love you all!!

Don't worry that a crazy storm that blew the party away... it started out great for Camden with a wasp stinging him between the eyes twice!! Anything else??

Kids are great! Luckily they didn't seem to mind the weather, they played anyway. With help from mom and Summer, the kids jumped and jumped on the bubble wrap before it blew away. So cute!

Look at those big two year old "Hulkie muscles" so tough!!


Good bye party! Thaks to everyone for all your help in recovering what we could.

Very resourceful boys! They grabed the bubble wrap and used it for shelter so that they could still play in the rain.

My cute little birthday boy!

Gotta love it!! Huge thanks to everyone who came to the party and braved the storm! It got too crazy to even open gifts at the party, but Cam and the boys had a blast opening gifts at home. They all loved everything, so thank you friends!!! Who knows, maybe we will get snow on Keagan's birthday! If anyone's lawn is looking brown, let me know and I would be happy to plan a party in your yard!

Family reunion camp-out

Kaiden was so excited about having his own candle as we celebrated Camden's birthday. I love the expression!
Really-- all I can say YUCK! Boys and camping equals gross! They had a blast rolling in dirt all day and who am I to deprive them of their fun? (but you know they got baths every night!!)

Grandpa Jim was so much fun, he let all the kids use his metal detector to find hidden coins and lots of burnt tin. They loved searching for treasure!

Every year there is so much for the kids to do. Thier favorites are Bingo, Crafts, and the annual pinata! Grandma Sandra even put together a treasure hunt for the boys where they got tonz of fun stuff as they visited each campsite. So much fun!!

Notice Cam's serious concentration as he empties globs of paint on his backpack. So intense!

Enjoying my family around a campfire is one of favorite things!

Keagan and Kaid both caught trout at Potter's Pond. They were so excited. After thier big catches, they were convinced that every tug was a fish. Kelly was great to be so patient and re-cast for them every few minutes :)




Kelly and I went on a walk by the stream where kelly caught plenty of these big bad monsters!

Kelly's extended family has been camping at this spot every year for 30 years now. We found this tree that his dad carved in 1986! In case you can't read it, it says Mike (his brother), Kelly, and Sam (his sister). I love that his family is so good about keeping up this tradition!

Kelly and I out on a 4 wheeler ride.

Camden being the youngest brother. Poor kid puts up with ALOT!

Cam came running full speed toward me and totally faceplanted! It was so funny!! (only because he was fine, of course) Poor guy totally ate it!

A quiet moment in the woods with Piper. So cute!

Kaiden was a little punch drunk at the end of a long day of fun!

Happy birthday Camden!!

I can't believe my little cam is already 2 years old!! Time flies! It has been a super fun year with this sweet little guy!! He is such a funny and cuddly little man! Even today got up on my bed and snuggled up to me and said, "Momma, I love you so much!!" Oh, I love you too!! What would our little pack of boys be without you!!




{ps. this picture was taken camping, which will be my next post, so please excuse the dirty little face!}
