Our little Talker April 25, 2008

Just thought I would post a video of Cammie talking.  She can really say a lot of words now.  It’s amazing how her vocabulary has grown in the past month.  It’s so cute when she says the word “Sprinkles”.  Enjoy!

Also, here is a video of the kids singing the “ABC SONG”.  Cammie is starting to get it.  Carter could sing the song perfect by like 18 months.  But, he was OBSESSED with the alphabet.  It’s just not Cammie’s thing! :)

 

 

 

Wild Wild West Day April 25, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — Cory @ 5:10 am

Today was the big end of the year party at Carter’s school.  It was so much fun!  They set up all kinds of fun at the school.  There were lots of inflattible moonwalks and slides.  They had facepainting, panning for gold, a petting zoo, hayrides, and other games.   There was also a bookfair where we bought Carter our favorite book “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”.  Does anyone remember that book??  Brad and I loved it when we were kids.  Anyways, the kids had a great time at the party.  It was a wonderful time to celebrate a great school year.  We are so blessed to have found this school.  The teachers and everyone there are so special.  They truly love children and love the Lord!  I feel so happy to know that he is in such good and loving care there!  Cammie is going to love going there next year!

Here is the link to the pics from our fun day:

Didn’t the girls way outshine the boys??!! :) Work it girl!! :)

Last weekend Brad and I chaperoned for our youth group’s Tacky Prom.  It was so much fun!  Ashley and I were in charge of decorations so we cheesed it up for them.  I set up my camera on a tripod and let them all pose funny for pictures.  It was SO much fun to dress up tacky!  My dress was SO awesome.  I can’t wait to wear it again!!  HA!!  Ashley looked hilarious with her blue bridesmaid dress and dyeable shoes!!  We had a great time!  Oh, to be young again! :)  

The Tacky Mom Chaperones!

When Ma and Pa Came to Town… April 12, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — Cory @ 8:43 pm

Brad’s parents, Mark and Carol or as we like to call them “Ma and Pa”, came to town last week.  I know their nicknames sound a Little House on the Prairieish!  When Carter was little he couldn’t say Grandma and Grandpa so he called them Ma and Pa and it stuck.  Well, when they were here Carter told them that he wanted to call them Grandma and Grandpa but he couldn’t stick with it.  I think it’s too late to change! :)   I like calling them Ma and Pa because it’s what Carter named them.  I think they like it too!

Well, we had a great time when they were here.  We went to downtown to have lunch with Brad one day.  We also went to the park and the outlet mall.  Most of the time we just hung out around the house playing trains and dress-up.  The weather was pretty yucky the whole time.  Of course we hit the new Wal-Mart and the grandparents spoiled the kids.  Carter got lots of new trains, Cammie got some dress-up clothes and they both got some dvd’s.  The checkout lady said “Looks like the grandparents came to town!!”.  The kids were in heaven and Carter said “Ma and Pa love me TOO much!!”.  :)  

Ma and Pa–we had a great time with you!  Thanks for coming to visit us!  Also, thanks for letting Brad and I get a date in while you were here!!  We love you!

Well, I think Spring is officially here.  Yesterday I wouldn’t have been able to say that, seeing as it was 50 degrees out.  Today turned out to be a beautiful day!  Sunny and 70!  We decided to spend some time playing with the kids outside.  Daddy, Carter and Cammie played hide and seek.  Carter could not find Brad even thought he kept popping his head out of the bushes! :)   Mommy and Carter had a few races.  Can you believe he beat me everytime??!!  I guess I slowed the pace down a little. :)   I have had a lot of practice running lately due to Boot Camp at the YMCA.  My back has started to act up again so I’m having to lay off the running for a while and stick to the aerobic type classes.  I was really getting into running, on Friday I ran the mile in 9:10 which is AMAZING for me!  I think the last time I ran a mile before this year was in Jr High!! HA!  Anyways, I guess I will stop so I won’t make it worse. 

We had a great time with the kids.  Just one of many nights to come playing outside!  We are really looking forward to Brad’s parents (Ma and Pa) coming on Thursday.  The kids will have fun being spoiled!!  Here is the link to my web album with some pics.
