Another packed in weekend for the Herzogs. These last weeks have gone by so fast and we've been so busy. We tried putting Trevor on regular formula again since they said kids can usually tolerate milk products by 6 months, but he got really sick and we had to put him back on soy. Now he's doing fine and even spitting up a little less now that we changed his reflux med as well. Both boys have a runny nose and have had it for about a week now. Hopefully that will get better this week! My dad came into town for the weekend, so we went to dinner Friday night with them. Then, Saturday, Zach and the kids and I went to see his family in Fort Thomas. We had a really good time. There were some of Zach's Aunts and an Uncle there who we haven't seen for quite a while. There were lots of people to chat with and it was a lot of fun. Zach's mom got us a new camera that takes better pictures than the one we have, so we were so excited about that!! Cameron got some flag toothpicks and loved them for some reason. He got to take them home and he held them the entire drive, even through his nap.

Sunday my parents came over to hang out with us and the boys. Cameron had a lot of mood swings today, but we still had a pretty good day. We filled up our little pool and Cam played for a little while. I put Trevor in and he did not like it. He's never had any problems with baths, so I think the water being so cold was a shocker to him. Plus, I didn't have a suit on, so I couldn't sit in there with him. He had a death grip on my shirt and did not want to stay in there. He was okay with me just letting him stand, but he held his grip to my shirt until we got out and then took a good nap after getting out. So, it took a lot out of him.

Our big event over the last two weeks is that Cameron is potty training. Actually, he wears underwear all day except to sleep at night and he wears a pull-up at nap (just in case). We left him in underwear on our long drives and going out places and he's done fine. He's actually to the point now where he comes and tells us he has to go. Today....NO accidents!! He's even using the big toilet most of the time. Yeah!!! Only diapers at night and on our way to no more for him at all. So exciting!!! I never thought I'd see the day!!

Great Strides 2009

Saturday was the Great Strides walk for CF. Our team has raised right at about $9000. We didn't quite reach our goal this year, but still

raised a lot for this VERY important cause! I'm hoping to still fund raise and get up to $10000 at least for this year. So, if you still haven't heard from a friend of family member, be sure to tell them it's not too late!! We were very worried about rain this year. We got lucky and it didn't rain during the walk. We had some pizza after and then the rain started, so the place pretty much cleared out. We stayed and let Wynton and Cameron play in the rain for a little bit and then headed home. Thanks to all that came out and walked with us and also to those who donated this year! We really appreciate it!

Sunday we went to the zoo in the morning, one of Cameron's favorite places. That morning we woke up to find that our bunny, Emmy, was not in her cage. We looked everywhere and couldn't find her. We decided we'd come home and start asking neighbors, but when we pulled in the driveway, she was sitting in our neighbors front yard. Hurray! We were so happy! There was a hole in her cage we had to fix, but she should be safe now! We did some yard work Sunday afternoon and the weekend was over. They just fly by too fast. I will upload some zoo pics later.

Mother's Day

This has been a really nice weekend. Saturday morning my mom came over to help with our yard sale. We didn't do great, but got rid of some stuff. We took the rest to good will. That afternoon we went to Huber's with the kids. First we went to the kids park. Cameron got to go down this huge slide. He wanted to go by himself, but he did whole turns in it and ended up on his belly and got scared. Zach took him on this bouncy thing too, but he was too scared for that as well. So, we walked around and fed the animals, which he just loves!! There was a playground that was perfect for him and he played on that quite a bit too. Trevor was just as good as could be in the stroller. Then we went to Huber's Winery and sampled their new wine. I got a few bottles since we are out here at home. Then we went to the restaurant. You just cannot beat their fried chicken, corn, mashed potatoes and biscuits!! Nothing compares! The kids were good and it was much more successful than last year (when we had to leave before the food came).

Today my mom is coming over and I am going to take her out to get a pedicure and some lunch. Then I'll spend the afternoon with my boys. We had to go to Huber's yesterday because they were all booked up on Mother's Day. It's been a nice weekend. Busy as usual! Next weekend is Great Strides. We're hoping for good weather!

I put a couple other photos on here. During the week this week Cameron helped me put flowers in my pots. He loved it and didn't want to stop! It was fun, he did a good job listening and really enjoyed himself. We were also lucky enough to get a double stroller from a parent in my class. It's a great size, folds up small and will be very useful for the zoo and travel!

Oaks

We had an extremely busy week. I had something every evening this week. Then, Friday was Oaks day at the track. I've never been to Oaks or Derby. We were lucky enough for Zach's mom to come to watch the kids so we could have the day together. Zach and I haven't been out together since...I don't even know when. We need to do it more often! We had a lot of fun! We decided we want to try to go to Oaks every year if we can. We had grandstand tickets, although they were not that good, but we think we are more of infield people. We liked walking around and watching everyone! We got to sneak into the Infield Club, which was where we wanted to get tickets, so we saw the winners of the last two "Top Chef" making up some food. It was a really fun day. The time flew by!

Then, Saturday, we went to one of our friends houses for Derby. We all have babies, it is so funny! There were 3 toddlers and 3 babies, and one pregnant mommy. We can only imagine how out get-togethers will be in a few years! It's so nice to get together with everyone though!

We have no plans today. I need to do my potted plants, but I'm exhausted, so I think we will just relax and spend time with the boys today. Trevor is feeling much better and Cam's doing fine.
