This week we had a mixed bag. The week started fun and ended with a very sick Brooke! Tuesday was a fun day because we got to hang out with The Stoddards! They have two little munchkins close to Jackson's age and Nicole is my workout buddy! We went to McDonalds for their $1.25 Hamburger Happy Meals and let the kids play until they were beat! Jackson had a ball! Cameron slept for the first part and then just sat and watched until it was time to go home! I had a blast sitting and having adult conversation with Nicole while Jackson went up the ladder and down the slide a million times!

Wednesday we had Kendra, Jason, and Levi over to play! We got word that the Stoddards had new baby chicks at their house and went over to check it out! They were so cute! Only 2 days old! Jackson loved to look at them but wanted nothing to do with touching them (see video on my facebook) it was pretty hilaroius. Then we stayed for a little while and went to play in their backyard! A Kids heaven is what I call their yard...grass, dirt, trampoline, slides, bridges, trees, and everything else you could imagine a little person would want! Jackson loved it! He picked up sticks and found pinecones! Levi chased the cat up a couple of trees too! We jumped on the trampoline and dug in the dirt. It was so much fun the boys didn't want to leave.

Cameron took 5 steps this week and is figuring out pivoting...he is going to be walking soon! Cameron and Jackson like to eat together in their high chairs...and laugh at each other. (see video on facebook)

Uncle Cubby was giving Cam rides through the house on the scooter, he loved it!

Cameron also dicovered hand soap this week. He kept getting a white foam falling out of his mouth and he was moving his tongue around a lot. I picked him up and sure enough he smelled like cucumber melon. So we had to wash his mouth out and he was on his way again!

I became very ill Wednesday evening with aches and sore throut and I am still recovering! This cold/flu whatever it is took me out. I have been laying down for 4 days. Halsy has had to fill in a lot and I am so grateful. He has been taking care of us, working, and getting ready for finals, and fighting off a bug of his own. Cam just has a stuffy nose and hopefully it will stop at that. We are still re-training cam to sleep in his bed and it is not fun to hear the cries...but I know it will be worth it!
