Another Day in Paradise

Paradise......maybe. I guess it is all based on perception! I feel so blessed to have an amazing husband and an incredible baby boy who makes my life complete. We live a simple yet cherished life and enjoy spending time together as a family. As long as we are all together it really is.......just another day in paradise.

Imagination Movers Concert

We were able to take Camden to see the Imagination Movers in concert at the Weinberg Center this past weekend. He loves watching them on the Disney channel and it was so fun to be able to do this with him. The week leading up to it though was quite a challenge to say the least. All of last week Camden had pink eye in both eyes, a double ear infection and a sinus infection. Then on Tuesday he started to randomly vomit with no explanation. He would be fine and then it would hit him again. It went this way ALL week, ugh! I was so tired of washing sheets and seeing him so miserable. I had no idea that random throwing up was a symptom of strep throat. So finally after being at the Dr. several times last week for the other issues we went on Friday night and his strep test came back positive. So it was another antibiotic for him. I was glad that he was markedly better however for the concert. But, I don't think he was 100% by any means. He wasn't as animated as we thought he would be to see them and he kept complaining that his ears were hurting.....which is not like him. But, we still had a great time.
New IM shirt and scribble stick.....a must have for every "movers" fan :)


And since we couldn't leave without the wobble goggles.....we had to make a little purchase on our way out after the concert.
We love you Cam. Thanks for letting Mommy and Daddy hang out with you :)

Spring Fun and catching up

So much to catch up on and this post is a bunch of everything from the past month or so. We are really ready for some consistently warm weather. So far it has just been here and there but we know that Spring weather will eventually happen :) Camden was showing off his muscles before he put on his Spiderman costume. And yes, I see that his diaper is just a little full.......but since my days are just so busy right now, I only pick one child each day to get a diaper change so he had to stay in this one since it wasn't his day :) Just kidding. He wouldn't let me change his diaper until he was ready to put on the costume, silly boy!




Kennedi at 2 months old.....9.6 pounds and 22 inches long! Happy baby :)

Not-so-happy baby :(


Camden has been asking for a Spiderman skateboard for awhile......so we made a trip to Toys R Us a few weeks ago and got him one. He has slept with it, taken it in the car and it is fun to see him use it!



First St. Patty's day with my 2 lucky charms! I loved dressing them in matching green and the weather couldn't have been nicer.


Such a ham for the camera!

Love those rare moments when he wants a kiss from his Mommy :)

Don't get up Mom, I got it!

So, I was very tired this morning and Camden woke up earlier than usual. I told him to come get in bed with me. I am not quite sure how long he laid in bed with me but I must have gone back to sleep. I woke up about a half hour later to him yelling from downstairs..... "Mommy, I need a sippy and turn on a show!" When I realized how long he was "on his own" I ran downstairs to find this : He had proudly gotten his own breakfast. A balanced diet of donuts and cheeze-its. Please take note of how he arranged his plate and yes, there are 8 donuts on that plate! He had gotten a little chair, climbed up on the counter, got a plate, got the donuts and crackers out of the pantry and prepared his plate as he so desired. He just needed me to get him water and turn on his morning show of Imagination Movers.......so glad to know what my role is :)
And yes, I let him eat every one of those donuts. He was so proud I couldn't take them away and plus it is Spring break :)
