Father's Day

The week went well for us! I was home with the boys after we got back from Chicago. We spent Friday outside in the pool and playing with probably every toy in the house!!

Saturday we went to a BBQ fest in Indiana. My mom came along because she loves BBQ. Unfortunately, we got there after many people closed up because awards were starting, but we still got some BBQ and Cameron was able to go on some jumper things. He loved that. We were all so hot we had to go for some Dairy Queen after. Cameron loved his ice cream!

Today we went to Incredible Dave's. We got there right when it opened and were the only people there. Cameron got to go on all the inflatable jumpers for free and go in the obstacle coarse with us. He had so much fun...and so did we! Cameron told Zach, "Happy Father's Day" all day long. It was so sweet. I told him to cherish it because we may not get that in a few years. After naps we went to get Zach some tank tops for our Florida trip and then

gave Cameron his first hair cut!!! People keep commenting on his curl in the back of his head when we're out places. He has way more hair down the middle of his head. So, I finally decided to give him a cut. I did it myself and buzzed the bottom and around his ears. He was such a good boy and was excited that he got "buzzed." I guess for most of you it's hard to tell he got a cut, but we can tell and I kept a lock of hair for his baby book. It probably won't get cut again for another 2 years. We'll see!!

Trip to Chicago

Well, my mom and I took both boys on their first road trip. We went just north of Chicago for my cousin Jodi's wedding. The wedding was the night we got there. It was a lot of fun. I was completely exhausted by the end of the night! The next day we went to a local working farm so Cameron could pet some animals and run around. Then we went to see my mom's cousins on her dad's side of the family. The next day we went on a trip through Elgin. This is where my mom was born and lived until high school. She and my uncle reminisced about all the old homes they lived in and places they ate and played. We stopped at many different places. This was a long day of driving and both boys did amazingly wonderful! Even in good moods (until Cam's nighttime breakdown). The last day we went to Wisconsin, stopped in a couple cheese factories to pick up some cheese and then went to see my mom's cousins on her mothers side of the family. They have a lake house and it was just a perfect little vacation home. I could live there. Cameron took a long nap that day, so had a little more downtime. The trip home really went fine too. So, now I know we can make a road trip, however, I don't think I'd go longer than what we did. It's hard stopping all the time for feeding Trevor and potty breaks and it's a long time for kids this age. We are home for a week and then we are going on a trip to Florida with Zach's parents. So, I'm going to spend the day today doing laundry and getting things unpacked before I have to repack for next week.

Trevor has gotten so much stronger this last week. He is now sitting by himself very well. He catches himself most of the time now. He is also scooting well. He gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth and then jumps forward (like a frog). If he could just figure out how to get his arms moving, he'd be crawling. I think it will be soon!!

Morning at the Zoo

School is finally out!! Tomorrow I will be home with the boys.....so there will probably be more posts the next few weeks. However, I leave Wednesday to go to Nashville for a conference for work. I will be there through Friday evening. Then, Saturday morning, Cameron, Trevor, my mom, and I leave for Chicago to see my cousin Jodi get married. I'm pretty nervous about the car ride. We'll see how it goes. Trevor really doesn't like the car much or being in one position and Cam has never been longer than 2 hours. Cameron has little accidents now since his potty training, but he doesn't like to go in public bathrooms for some reason. I think we may have to bring the small potty with us!

Trevor is getting around quickly now! He isn't crawling, but he pushes up on his arms and scoots very well. He sees toys he wants and goes!! He also went on a swing for the first time yesterday at the park. He loved it.

This morning we met Heather, Curtis, and Wynton at the Louisville Zoo. Cameron asks at least three times a week to go to the zoo and see the animals. We like to go right when it opens so we can eat lunch there and then be home by nap time. He and Wynton ran around the whole time. Cameron was exhausted by the end of the day. I tried to take a pic of him and Trevor in matching outfits, but no smile from Cam...he was pooped! He slept about 3 hours for his nap! Trevor went on a swing again today and laughed the whole time. It was so cute!!
