Camden's Xmas Program

Camden had his first program at school-

his Christmas Program

He had been practicing all week

singing his little heart out

and was so excited to go

and have Mommy, Daddy, and Beckett sitting in the chairs

watching him

So he got all dressed (super cute)

he said he looked like Daddy

(b/c he had a button up shirt on- that was too cute too)

and Beckett got dressed cute too

I just had to put this one in too-

Camden just loves Beckett to pieces

its great!

The Program was just starting

they were walking in-

you could see how nervous he was-

( there were a lot of people there)

then he saw me and didn't want to keep walking

He did make it up to the stage

but not for long

This is 1 of 2 pic that I have of him actually up there-

he was so upset/scared

he had to leave the stage before they even started singing

and come and sit on my lap

Here's the other pic-

Poor guy

nerves got the best of him

Santa even came to visit at the end of the program

and he didn't want to go and see him.

maybe next year :)

Toddler Talk

Camden says some of the funniest things

I guess that comes with being 3 years old.

I wanted to post about them so that I can have them

written down forever :)

*This was during a conversation between Cam and Daddy at breakfast

Daddy: "you're needy"

Cam "No, I'm Camden"

*When Justin had his Lasik done he had to wear these funky

eye covers when he slept-

Cam came into the bedroom

"Daddy is that you?"

*Anytime Beckett cried for the first month Camden would say

"Go check him!"

*Camden loves loves loves his little brother to pieces

so anytime Beckett is awake he is asking

"Is he looking at me?"

and

"I want to hold him"

1 second

2 seconds

3 seconds

"I'm all done"

and that's how that goes

but it's so cute :)

*Cam loves to play on our Iphones - we have some games on them for him

so he asks

"maybe I ask you to play with my my phone?"

a little backwards, but funny

*We are practicing manners

like saying excuse me

but he says

"excuse you"

anytime he burps, etc

and not talking with his mouth full,

so he chews quickly then tells me

"mom I want to talk now"

*Camden goes to school every Tues/Thurs morning

he loves to color- they usually color at least 1 picture while he's there

Justin takes him now and Beckett and I pick him up

Every morning Justin asks him to color a pic for him

and he always says no that he has to color one

for Mommy and Beckett-

if he could only stay this loyal to his Mommy :)

*Beckett got a teddy bear

Camden calls it

a

"tubby bear"

*He can't wait for snow!

There are flurries outside and he wants to go sledding :)

*He is in LOVE with Santa this year

we couldn't visit him enough

"I want to leave Santa some cookies and some for me too"

at least he's honest

*This boy could be a Christmas Caroler all year round

he has got all the big hit Christmas song down!

one of his Faves

"Ya La La La La"

aka Deck the halls

also in the top running is

Frosty the Snowman

and

Jingle Bells

although in his version it sometimes goes like this

Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Daddy smells Beckett made the egg

Sometimes switching Daddy and Beckett up with

Mommy, Camden, Cali, Patch, Calvin, and Hudson

It's so cute!!!!

*Again he's so into Christmas this year

one of his Favorite movies is

"the train boy" movie as he calls it

aka Polar Express

Christmas Party

Every year we have an Ugly Sweater Xmas Party

at our house- both boys were just so stinkin cute I just

wanted to post a few pics

I mean really -just look how cute and grown up he is

ok and he looks onry here

But he's still my big boy

I could just eat him up

and now this new little chub

check out that chin

or two

and both of them

oh man..........

and just one pic of everyones kiddos-

it gets kind of crazy around here

b/c there are so many of them-

and at all ages-

as you can see nobody was interested in taking pictures

but it is so much fun to have them together!

Oh the Memories!

Santa......again

As it gets closer to Christmas we of course had to go see Santa again

We went to bass Pro Shop-

they have the best Winter Wonderland.

Cam saw Frosty-

he loves the song "Frosty the Snowman"

He can't wait until we get some snow to build a Frosty-

so anyway he was one of our many pit stops

before making it to Santa

One of his other favorite things was this train track

He is in love with Trains

one thing he asked Santa for is a "Spencer" train

from thomas the train.

anyway this track let the kids turn it on and off

he thought it was really cool.

And of course the wonderful Santa!

Santa even had a present for Cam-

he thought that was pretty great too!

Now he asks all the time is it Christmas yet?

too cute :)

Newborn Photoshoot

Alright I'm finally getting around to putting some of

Beckett's newborn photos up...

sorry

I've been just a little busy.

nobody really told me how busy/hectic/crazy

my life would be with a toddler and a newborn.

So here ya go

I absolutely LOVE them so I hope you do too

thanks Shalaine

(Blazic Photography)

I just love it

This one looks like a senior portrait for Camden

with the way he is posing-

gotta love it too

This is my FAV

I have it blown up in our living room

This was a lot harder than you would think

to keep a squirmmy baby from falling out of this thing :)

Our little Pea Pod

Love the lip

So funny b/c this is how his lips were in all the

3D sonos

He's happy :)

Just precious!

Overall I am just in love love love with all of the pics

Shalaine thank you so much for taking the time

and a lot of time it was

to take these beautiful pictures-

your work is amazing!

Xmas Art Project

Here's Camden's small art project that we did at home for Christmas.

We traced both of their feet and made them into Christmas Trees-

you were really supposed to use paint, but I didn't have any

(and I didn't think I could get the green adn the red in the right places)

so it was much cuter to just have Cam color them :)

The Boys Bathroom

I love getting to re- do things

Re- decorate, paint, re-arrange, shopping

Well I finally got to do a little something to the boys bathroom

Here's a new shower curtain and a new rug

( Thanks to Pottery Barn Kids)

Hand towel to match

The frame was already here-

But I painted it the blue to match

And of course added new pictures of Beckett

The same with the other frame

Painted and added a pic of both boys.

Don't mind the Xmas decor

( the ribbon is supposed to make the mirror look like a present)

And a couple more blue accents

I just love that it's for the boys now

And super cute

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Tis the season!

Time to deocorate the tree!!!

Camden loved it this year,

but he thought all the ornaments were toys

( we may have broken a couple)

He loves hanging the " balls" on the tree

Luckily we invested in plastic ornaments after he was born

Beckett was not that interested -

But at least he was content

Too cute!

Just like Daddy

This is one of my favorite ornaments -

Cam made it last year at school-

It's his handprint ( minus the thumb)

Turned into snowmen

I just love it

The boys stockings-

Also too cute :)

And the finished product

Sorry this pic is so dark

Happy Holidays!!

Santa Train

We took Camden on the Santa train

that ran out of baldwin City.

It's a hour long ride-

with carolers

and Santa in his own train that you get to go visit

This was Camdens face when we told him we were going to see Santa.

Daddy and him were sitting at the depot waiting to go

Here's the train we got to ride

OK He doesn't look happy here-
but he is very excited-

He got a Thomas the train toy in the depot to take and play with on the train

We got to our seats :)

Here's a pic of the carolers singing
one of the girls

(the one on the way right)

kept looking right at Cam when she would sing

and he would get a big grin on his face

and get shy and duck down in the seat

too cute

he loved the music!

Camden and Daddy playing Trains
The Conductor (or doctor) as Cam calls him

would come and get you and move you to another train to wait on

until it was your turn to go see Santa

SANTA

And thank you Tutu for coming over to snuggle on Beckett so we could go
