Lots of Updates

We spent Father's Day in Frankfort at a 12 hour mountain bike race Zach did. It was SOOOOOO hot!! I was there with the kids from about 7:30am until noon. We left for a nap and then came back with a friend and her little one around 3:30 until 7. The guys did a great job! Zach did all his laps for the team, but the other two decided not to finish their last laps, it was just sooooo hot.


Cameron and daddy doing a little ride around the parking lot.



Trevor loved going around on his bike too! It was hard for me to keep up with Cameron though when it was just us.

"No more monkeys jumping on the bed."



Trevor is now in a toddler bed. He had been trying to get our of the crib and was getting stuck straddling the top rail. So, before a big injury, we had to take the rail off. I thought I'd leave him until he was like 3 or potty training because he's my last baby, but he's a climber!! Last night I went to check him in the middle of the night because I could hear him whining once in a while. I couldn't find him. Finally, I saw his little toe sticking out from under the bed. He had crawled under the bed/crib to the corner in his sleep. Today before his nap, he took all the clothes out of his hutch thing, then got his blanket, book, and lovies and fell asleep on the pile. You never know where you're gonna find them when they are first out of a crib! I already put a child proof lock on the hutch so that I don't have to do laundry twice a day.

The kids in the grocery car. Seems like we do this like every other day. Milk and bananas, just can't buy enough!

Big steps for Cameron this year! He is not scared of the water like he was last year. He will now jump right in! He gets so excited to jump in. He counts to three and then goes. It's so cute!

In other news.......mom is back in town! Yeah!!! Cameron was more excited this time than ever, he kept saying, "Why is it taking her so long to get back to Kentucky this time?" I guess as he gets older he will realize these things more. We went to the cabin Thursday. I pulled weeds, put some kids toys together, and got the computer set up for mom. The kids played and had a blast as usual! I always have to drag them out of the cabin. Cameron is going to spend the night tomorrow and Trevor the next night. So, that will be fun for them and it will be nice to have some one-on-one time with each of them. I feel like I need to be teaching Cameron more than I have been. He can now spell his name, mommy, and if he has a quick reminder, Erin's name. He can also recognize the numbers from 0-10 almost all the time. I will have more of a chance to teach both of them a little when I have them by themselves, so I will take advantage of it! My sister comes on Wednesday, I can't wait!!! It's been way too long! You need to move here Erin! We have a lot planned over the next week or so. Dad comes for the 4th of July weekend and my sister's birthday. It will be great to have the family together. I especially like that they can spend time with the kids. They have changed so much since they saw them last. They are little boys now!

Happy Birthday Daddy

Cameron sang this for his daddy. We practiced several times and he started getting silly, but it turned out cute.....I love the end, it's Cameron!!

This is Trevor's new face. He makes it if he's trying to get a toy back that Cameron took or if he's trying to open something.....it's so funny! Here he's smashing grapes.

Permanent Marker!!!

Summer has officially started and things have stayed busy! Cameron's belly is doing better, so that's great news! I took the kids to the zoo one day last week, we had a play date one evening, we met daddy at a park for a lunch picnic and play time, played with a bubble machine, and we had lots of pool time. Trevor is not so fond of the big pool this year. He's a little scared in there, it's the age. Cameron is finally warming up to the pool. His swim coach said that he's not doing as much as the others and wants to know why he isn't learning faster. I think he's just very timid with new things like this, but he has come from not being able to be in the water without latching to an adult all the way to jumping in the pool all by himself and swimming to the steps (with a vest on, of course). He jumped in by himself for the first time yesterday, that was a big milestone! He was so proud of himself and I was so proud of him too. He earned himself an ice cream! Another big event was that Cameron decided to draw all over himself, the computer table, the keyboard, and the computer monitor with purple permanent marker. Lucky for him, some nail polish remover got it all off the comuter things. The table is still a mess and his belly button is still a little purple however. I never expected this out of Cameron, especially to write on himself. He doesn't like to be dirty or have things out of place. I couldn't believe it. When I took the picture above, I didn't know about the computer. I was actually laughing and telling him not to play with markers anymore. I took a picture to remember it. Then I went to check the basement and found the rest of his "art work." What a memory!

Saturday I did the CF Climb at Papa John's Stadium. This was the first year, so there was not a large outcome. I am not in shape at all! I thought it was just some steps and a laid back thing. We got there and had to wear ankle chips and it was an official race!! My friend JoAnn did it with me. We were dying, but I was able to make it around the entire stadium. Needless to say, I'm pretty sore today! This morning Zach had a triathlon. It was 90 degrees and humid. I don't know how he did it. He came out about 70th (mid-pack) from the water, then was at about 40th place after the bike and then back to about 60th after the run and at the finish. We almost didn't make it because Trevor was throwing up clear liquid and gagging this morning. He also woke up at about 4am doing this. He had no fever and was acting normal, so I took the kids and we got there right before the race started. The boys did great watching and loved playing with some new water guns I got for them. Trevor has not eaten a thing all day today though, only liquids. So, I'm worried he may have some sort of virus or something. We'll have to see how tonight goes! Maybe we just need to have a more relaxing week this week and do some indoor activities.

Trevor's First Hair Cut

As you can see, my baby doesn't have much hair!! The back was getting so long though, it stuck straight out and went over his ears. So, we got a little $3 trim. When they'd snip the scissors he'd say, "Uh, oh!" over and over. He was a good boy!!

Time Out

Cameron was in time out....Trevor went over to pat him on the head and take care of him. Too cute!!
