Cameron's Batman Bash!

On Saturday the 23rd, we had Cameron's birthday party at the park. He chose Batman as his birthday theme about 4 months ago and stuck with it. It was suppose to rain that morning, but we lucked out and had a couple of hours of good weather. We had a good crowd so it was good that it was outside. Nana, Grammy, Papa Curt, Uncle Drew, Uncle Josh, Aunt Jenny, cousin Emma and some of Cameron's friend came to the party. The boys started off by feeding the ducks and there were LOTS of them. The ducks really liked the Kix cereal. Then the kids played on the playground. After playing a little while, we opened presents and ate Batman cupcakes.

After having the friends party at the park, we went back to the house to open family presents. Everyone ate lunch first to refuel before going into round 2 of presents. Right before opening presents the tornado sirens went off. Luckily we didn't have to take shelter and Cameron got to open all his presents before naptime. It's amazing how many toys he got. He had so much fun and is already planning next years theme.

Pumpkin, pumpkin

On October 22nd, we went for round 2 of the pumpkin patch. This time we went with family. We brought Uncle Drew, Nana, Uncle Josh, Aunt Jenny and cousin Emma. The boys were so excited to show Emma everything. It was the perfect time to go because no one was there. The kids had a lot of fun looking at all of the cut outs and playing in the jail. We did get a few pictures of the kids in front of the pumpkin patch. It was a great way to start Cameron's birthday weekend.

Fun with Nana

Nana came to visit on October 12th to stay until Cameron's birthday. Nana came to help me while day was on a "business" trip in St. Thomas. While Dan was in the Carribean, we had fun shopping, playing at the park, and watching movies. Nana helped us get everything ready for Cameron's big Batman Bash! What we do without her!

4 months

Woohoo! Sometimes I wish it would slow down because she is my last and other times I'm glad it's going fast because as she gets older, my life gets a little easier. Meredith had her four month check up. She weighed 16 pounds!!! That's almost as much as Cameron weighed at a year. She is such a butterball! This put her in the 92%. She was 25 inches long and was in the 77% for height. She is a social butterfly already and loves to be entertained by her brothers. She constantly craves Cameron's attention. Meredith is starting to roll and scoot. I really want her to stay immobile as long as possible. We plan on starting her on cereal this week because she is constantly trying to steel food off our plates. Meredith is becoming lots of fun and it will be interesting to see what kind of personality she ends up having.

Fire Trucks, oh my!

Today we went to the annual firestation open house. The boys look forward to going to this every year and not for the reason you'd think. The thing that keeps them wanting to come back is the popcorn. Dan stood in line for fifteen minutes to get the popcorn for the boys to go with their Dr. Pepper. The boys loved getting to the firetrucks and the careflight helicopter too. They even got to put a fire out using the hose.

Pumpkin Patch

On the first Saturday of October the family loaded up to head to the pumpkin patch. The boys love going every year for the bounce houses and I like going for the photo ops. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. The weather was gorgeous and the fields were full of pumpkins since it was the first weekend. After taking pics, the kids got to play and wander around. The boys loved the Star Wars cutouts. The bounce houses were their favorite thing to do. They even got to ride the train with dad. I don't think Dan will be doing that again next year; it was a little crowded. Meredith had fun watching.

After the pumpkin patch, we went to schlotsky's to eat. After eating, we went behind the restaurant to feed the fish in the pond. The fish would follow the boys walking on the edge of the bank in hopes of food. I've never seen anything like it.

We had an amazing day with all 3 kids and it was fit free which doesn't happen very often. The pictures of the day are already posted on the right. Enjoy!
