Another day in PARADISE............right

I think that I am just going to write and then going to post the pictures.  I am using google + still to post so I am waiting for my recent pictures to upload so I can share them with you.  Reading this you will not know either way...except all the pictures will be posted and then the words....

I want to talk a bit about Cameron.  He is a strange, wonderful little soul.  I think that I always talk about Owen on the blog because he doesn't like to leave my side so it is easy to say what is going on with him.  Cameron on the other hand is a bit different.  He likes me to be around him....sometimes.  He is like a little teenager.  He likes his mom...and then doesn't.  Sometimes he doesn't want kisses.  Doesn't want me to sit next to him.  And then other times he can't be held and cuddled enough.  Very similar to me.  We must have the same sensory disorder.  Ha.

He is becoming such a little social butterfly.  When we play with Ethan and Jonny he is off.  The past few times at the pool he has made friends and went and followed, played, smiled, and laughed.  I never thought that he would be the one to go off and separate from me last year.  It is so fun to see how he is growing. 

I am missing my little babies.  Holding them in my arms.  Lots of friends pregnant and having babies.  These boys are growing.  Making sentences.  Watching TV.  Playing with each other.  Making friends.  Remembering things. 

I love our little team.

Today we went to the park.  Then we went to the Children's Museum.  The museum was packed.  I guess I know why no one is at the pool...they are all at the museum

Ok....I am going to go celebrate nap time. 

One last thing.  LOVE pandora.  Love my country music.  Love to dance with the boys.  Love Summer.  NEED rain.  But love summer.  We are picking the tomatoes and I actually have a squash growing!!!!

The life

Today we had the pool today....all by ourselves.  No people watching.  No kids to steal the toys.  Yes...the pool was just ours. 

And at the pool Owen kept counting until 12 as loud as he could then jumping in.  Ha.  It actually made me think how long we have been stuck at the number 12.  Guess I should keep teaching.  hahaha

Oh, my poor yard.  This is summer of NO rain and 100 degree temps.  When I say no rain...I mean NO rain.  Look at my yard.  The blessing....no mowing the grass!!  On a different note... I had tomatoes from the garden today in my salad. 

First thing this morning Owen walked over to the garden.  He picked a tomato and ate it while walking back to the car.  So. Stinking. Cute.

A quick update.  Things are not as out of control around our house.  Don't get me wrong...I have had an interesting summer.  I am sure that I will have many more crazy days.  The boys were at Greg's last week so I was able to sit around a mop a bit, go to the pool, get out of the house for a few days, pick up lots of work, watch lots of movies, and enjoy many drinks.  I was ready for them to come back but the timing of their trip could not of been more perfect. 

Out with Stephanie.  Therapy at it's best.

Owen has started calling Cameron, "Cam," since he has been back from Greg's.  It is so funny.  He must of picked it up there and I am afraid it will stick.  They are playing so well together it has been so nice.  I am even able to go and prepare dinner while they are playing in the back yard.  





Here is an instagram picture from our trip to Valpo.  I was very nervous about the boys just sleeping on the floor.  But they did great.  They didn't get up, play in the room....nothing.  Well Cameron's normal talking all night...but that's it.
