Tucker Turns Two!

Our nephew, Tucker, celebrated his second birthday on Saturday. We did not let the storms get in the way of having a good time. The kids played, ate, and played some more. I think everyone was ready for bed early. Happy Birthday Tucker Man!

The birthday boy!

All the crazy kids:)

Tucker's favorite part of the party

Not the best picture of us, but it will do:)

Just because...

Outside Fun

It is so hard to explain to a one year old that it is too cold to go outside. As you can imagine, he doesn't take "it's too cold," well. Now that Spring has finally sprung we don't have to have these "conversations" anymore. Cam is free to go outside all he wants:). Here are some pictures of our outdoor fun!

Blowing Bubbles (trying to, at least)

Playing Soccer

(I love this one)

I can feed myself, sort of...

Emily, Cam's nanny, let him feed himself spaghetti the other day. She is a brave soul! Here are some pictures from the adventure:)

So Excited!

That spoon is not cutting it!

Much Better!

Needless to say, the next stop was the bathtub!

We are so lucky to have Emily and her little guy Holden stay with Cam during the day. She is so good to him!

He Has Risen!

Easter is my favorite holiday for many reasons.

• It reminds me of my Grandma Ellen and hunting those gross marshmallow eggs in her backyard in Hartwell (my brothers and sister would re-hide them a million times). Her birthday is also on the 7th of April.
• It is the beginning of Spring and everything is beginning to come alive again after the winter.
• It is a holiday without the pressure of gifts and major travel.
• The biggest reason of all is the meaning of Easter. Jesus died for our sins and rose from the dead. That is the coolest thing!

This year we spent Easter at the farm. The boys hunted Easter eggs. We went on a hayride, made our own fishing poles from bamboo, and went fishing in the lake. We also had a yummy meal (not fish:). The weather was gorgeous and I could not have asked for a better day.

Waiting to fish. How cute are they?

Cooper caught 5 fish!

Cam finally got up from his nap. Thanks Nana for staying at the house and listening for him!

Happy Easter!

1 Year Check Up!

We went to the pediatrician today for Campbell's 1 year check up. He is 32 1/4 inches long and 26lbs 5oz. He is in the 50th percentile for your average 22 month old! Needless to say, he is a big healthy boy.

He loves to throw balls, and anything for that matter. He is eating everything, but his favorite is anything sweet (he gets that from his mom). His favorite words are bath, teeth, dog (he will even tell you what the dog says:), da da, and ma ma. His favorite place to be is outside. He is on the verge of walking. He is standing a lot more, but is still a big chicken. He will take a few steps and realize someone is not holding him, and sit down.

He is starting to get his molars and they have not been fun. He has been a bit fuzzy and not napping as well as he has been. I feel so bad for the little guy. Hopefully they will come through soon. He has also been mama attached for the past couple of weeks, and won't go to Matt. I hope it's just a phase, because he is too heavy for mama to carry around for too much longer:).
