Memorable Moments with Cameron 6/6/2011

Today Cameron told us that he wanted to have 10 kids when he grows up and gets married. I would be a VERY happy grandma for sure!!! He wants to have 5 girls and 5 boys! He told me he already has the names picked out for the boys. They all have to have 3 letters...Jim, Tom, Bob, Tim, and Joe. He doesn't have the girl's names picked out yet, but he did tell me while we were jogging together this evening that they can have up to 4 or 5 letters :) Watching him with Callie, it doesn't surprise me that he wants to have a lot of kids...but then again he could change his mind!

I scream, you scream!...

Cameron's Piano Recital

Cameron has been taking piano lessons for about a year and a half. He has been with his current teacher since September and I think he is doing really well. He had his recital on May 15 and he did a great job. Here is the video of his performance and a few pictures.

Mother's Day 2011

I had a very nice Mother's Day as always!

On Friday, Cameron's wonderful, amazing, awesome teacher cooked breakfast for all of the mom's. We had a lovely time chatting and enjoying the company of our sweet kids. They made us all cards and paper flowers. It was so special!

On Saturday, I went to the annual Mother and Daughter banquet at my mom's church. I got to spend the evening with my mom, my daughter, both grandmothers, my sister, an aunt, and a few of my cousins. The men cooked and served us a delicious meal. It's always a good time.

Sunday I decided to go to church with my mom and surprise her. Then we spent the day enjoying family. It was a wonderful day!

Easter 2011

Since I'm behind (again) on blogging and it's been a month since Easter I'm just going to post a few of my favorite pictures from the day. You can see all of the pictures here if you are my FB friend.

We had a wonderful day celebrating the Resurrection at church. We then went to my grandparent's house for lunch and of course an egg hunt for the kids. We got some great family photos as well. Then we went to my parent's house for dinner. I love this time of year!

Memorable Moments with Callie 4/30/2011

Tonight I decided that I am going to start posting "Memorable Moments" on my blog. Some things strike me as so adorable when they happen and I just want to remember them forever. I won't post pictures unless need be, because honestly...that is why I put off blogging sometimes because it takes so long to upload the pictures. Anyway...here's volume 1 of Memorable Moments....

We had a long day today with hockey, baseball, and finally having a dry day to mow the jungle that has become our back yard... This evening we were just relaxing on the couch and listening to music while the kids played. Callie found a little pad of paper and she was carrying it around pretending to take our orders. She kept pointing at the paper asking each of us "pets bee?" and we just kept saying "yeah..." because none of us could figure out what she was trying to say. Finally Brandon figured out that she was asking us if we wanted a Pepsi. When I said "Are you saying Pepsi?" her little face lit up and she said "Yeah...Pets bee!"

She and Cam are still taking orders and delivering bills...Cam named their restaurant "Cameron and Callie's Cafe" :)

Forney Museum of Transportation

Cameron loves old cars. He always gets excited when he sees them on the street. We decided to look up some new places to go while we were in Colorado and I came across the Forney Museum of Transportation. He was instantly thrilled about going! If you are ever in the Denver area, it is well worth the time to visit! They have a lot of interesting vehicles and I took a ton of pictures which you can see here if you are my friend on Facebook. Some of the main attractions there are "Big Boy" which is the world's largest steam locomotive, Amelia Earhart's car, and a HUGE Case Steam Tractor. Cameron was speechless! He kept saying "Whoa...that's awesome!" Here are a few of my favorite pictures...
