Surprised?

Yes, you can stop laughing. This really is Cameron's.

Torrey and Cameron saw this when I was away in the UP and I am pretty sure as soon as they saw it on the side of the road and pulled over for Cameron to sit on it, it was already his. I seem to notice a theme in the life if my boys when I am not around! When we showed it to Cameron, I was waiting with him outside the garage and Torrey was inside and opened the door so we could get Cameron's expression on tape. Torrey and I commented later that he was just as excited about getting a bag of cotton candy at the fair later that night! So he and daddy had to check it all out....how it starts, where the muffler and motor is and of course give it a good wash and wax. Fortunately it has a hard pull start or there would be a 3 year old boy riding off down the street, snow or no snow!

At least he is learning to take care of his things...is that a good rationale behind this craziness!? See the irony in the picture? A proud boy with is little man snowmobile and his favorite pink Barbie Jeep right next to him!!
And as far as Haiden...he is just as happy in a rickety old swing hung up in the basement.

Adventures

Life had been filled with adventures these past few weeks. Cameron's latest obsession is Rescue Heroes. We play them all the time and want to watch the video when we are not pretending to be them. Here he is outside climbing the tree with a little rope trying to propel down and rescue someone.
And of course a Rescue Hero would not be complete without all of his gear!
And little Haiden has ventured into the world of green beans!
He also just took his longest trip away from home when we went to visit our newest cousin Levi up in the UP. His first time across the bridge and in a hotel....he was a fantastic traveler.
He loves a hotel just as much as mommy does!
Playtime with cousin Levi. I think Haiden liked being the big boy in the room!

Bathtime and a Birthday

Torrey just celebrated turning 39(no that's not a typo) and I tried getting a cute pic of all my boys and here is what I got...
No smile
and crazy smile
Haiden had his first bath with Cameron. I am curious to see what Haiden will do when he can hold his own against his big brother!
Cameron showing Haiden a cool trick that just happens to take place close to his head.
Already trying to get his little brother to do things that mommy and daddy say not to! How to get kids to NOT drink their dirty bath water is a mystery still to me, but with boys I guess there are worse things they could ingest!

Camping Adventure #2

We had an amazing time at Cran Hill Ranch with Torrey's family. Cameron was in his little piece of heaven being outdoors and playing all the time. Cran Hill is such an awesome place and I look forward to creating more memories each summer. It already has become a tradition carried down from Torrey. FYI....Torrey's family received a camper of the week plaque 1 day after I was born. How weird does that sound. Both boys did fantastic in every way. Enjoy just a few pics from our fabulous vaca!
Beach time!
Morning coffee...yes for Cameron, too!
Pony rides
Play time in the camper when it was raining
And of course campfire and snacks
Don't want to leave little man out....he spent lots of time just hanging out!
Oh....who can forget the ice cream...every day!!
