Sunday

1. Cameron is exploring, learning, and growing
Both boys are growing up so much but it is extra fun right now to watch Cameron grow and learn every single day. He explores, tests his limits, and then continues to the next adventure. He is determined, stubborn, and persistent. It doesn't phase him when I say "no." He just stares at me and continues to be destructive. And yes...he does know what "no" means....he just doesn't really care. Here are some pictures of when he taught himself to pull the safety plugs out of the wall.

2. Fall

This fall weather has been great. The boys love to be outside. It is freezing in the morning and warms up in the afternoon. We have been super busy with play dates, appointments, and runny noses. Sorry that I never update the blog. Now that they crawl everywhere it is hard to find time to actually sit down and write. These pictures are from an evening this past week when we were playing outside.

3. New Toys

Birthdays are AWESOME. We have so many new toys that the boys love. Here is a picture of Cameron in the new car. They do great just playing in the toy room. They are usually playing with the same toy. They are starting to fight over the toys and it is pretty funny...right now. I am sure it will be a disaster soon. I am able to put them in the toy room while I wash dishes, do laundry, and clean up the last meal. We also have a huge play house that we got from the Fangs and it is a HIT. We will be playing with that thing for the next 10 years!!

These pictures are from a morning when the boys were playing together....sort of.

Owen doesn't look to thrilled that Cameron wants to play with the same toy....

So Cameron decided to bite Owen's finger....

4. My hair

Amongst the madness of this week I was able to get my hair cut and colored. It is nice to get a trim and get a fresh color. Even though I was so tired that I could barely keep my eyes open, it is nice to feel like a real adult.

5. Friends

.

This week has been fun....and busy. I am a lucky girl to have such great friends. Wednesday night Shelby came over after work to catch up. That night ended up being a late night of moving furniture, listening to Deuces on YouTube, and pouring a full teapot of water on the floor....who are we??? I couldn't function on Thursday and during our play date Tanya cleaned my kitchen and washed my dishes. It was amazing. The rest of the afternoon I walked by my clean dishes grateful to have such a good friend.

Last but not least....this flower sits next to my sink right now. I feel like I spend a lot of the day washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen. Fresh flowers are a favorite...so it really brings a smile to my face.
