Buzz LightYear and the Rose Bush

Cameron alwasy takes FOREVER to come in from the car because he stops to look at every bug, twig, or leaf on the way. This particular time he was flying like buuzz Lightyear shouting "To Infinity and Beyond" I was way ahead of him with my arms full of groceries when I heard him cry - REALLY cry. i dropped everything and turned around to see him holding his face sitting on the step in front of the Rose bushes. He had Flown right into the bush FACE FIRST. Poor little guy! I carried him into the house and tried to get him to let me fix his youches.

He wouldn't let me put bandaids (even thought I have Buzz Lightyear and Woody Band aids) so this was my great Idea to get Neosporin on and not get Neosporin on the couch/bed, etc. I think it was pretty ingenious:

It definately looks much worse than it was, but still the cuts are pretty big, but now a few days have gone by and they look better already!!

Poor Little Buzz

Kid Update

Cameron

Cameron amazes us every day with his smarts!! He loves to do "I spy" type books and he has all of them memorized already :) He is soooo into Toy Story (all three - but I think #2 is his favorite) He has a bedtime sticker chart and when I asked him what he wanted for a prize at the end he said "A big Buzz Lightyear that flies and says 'To Infinity and Beyond'!!" So I ordered one yesterday and I can't wait to see what his face when he opends it!! He is so swet with his sister - a little rough at times, but he adores her. When she is crying in her bed at night he sneaks into her room and climbs onto her brib and sings/talks to her. I almost felt bad asking him to go back to his own bed after that one! He loves to run around and pretend that he is flying. He has a very vivid imagination and if I can I like to sit where he can't see me and just listen to him play with his toys. He sleeps in his own bed and sleep totaly crooked! He usually ends up sideways across his pillow. He still holds his ear when he gets nervous or is worried about something. He gives the sweetest and bestest hugs and kisses.

Katey Jane

Katey Jane is a mover!! She is almost crawling - moslty scooting, but she comes and gets me now. She also walks around holding on the the furniture!! she is soooo happy that she can go where she wants. She has started taking juice from a bottle/sippy cup. So nice. She loves to EAT. I think she would just keep eating forever - which is good because she is such a little thing! she is starting to wave Bye-Bye and she LOVES to  make tons of noise! she jabbers and babbles at the top of her little lungs! She loves songs and signs - she is getting close to signing back completely! She is the apple of her mommy's eye - she is so beautiful and fun to get gussied up!!

Sunny and Cold???

When we went outside today Jackson said: "Hey, it's sunny today!!" We said "I know, how fun is that??" to which he replied, "but wait....how can it be sunny and cold?"

Oh Jackson - you are too cute for words!

New Things

Cameron has almost mastered potty training!! YAY! While he is able to tell us now before he goes to the bathroom, thus cutting back on the amount of poopy underpants we have to clean,  he is not tall enough to go by himself.....our little man is so much more rown up than he looks! He LOVES nursery and goes without a complaint every week. He has been sleeping in his own bed for quite some time, but within the last couple weeks, he began to STAY there all night. We have definately not missed our 5am bed buddy :) Even though he is so adorable!

Katey Jane is babbling, standing, and trying to crawl. She has mastered rolling and sitting, but I think she might skip crawling all together and just walk. She is clapping and is starting to copy us and the noises we make. She can make the sign for "milk" and understands "milk" and "food". She is so much fun!

Halsy got a new calling to teach the 4 year olds on Sunday and he really enjoyed it! I think it will just keep getting more fun for him.

I am starting a biggest loser competition with my girlyfriends starting tomorrow - UGH. The winner gets $40 and bragging rights, and hopefully motivation to keep going!! Wish me luck!!

Night Fury and Buzz Lightyear

Cameron was going down for a nap and he wanted Halsy to lay with him when Halsy said:

Halsy:  Cameron, are you going to have sweet dreams at nap time?
Cameron: Yea
Halsy: What are you going to dream about?
Cameron: Crocodiles and Dragons
Halsy: Really!?
Cameron: and Night Furys (from "How to Train your Dragon")
Halsy: Are you going to ride one?
Cameron: No
Halsy: Who's gonna ride it?
Cameron: Buzz Lightyear.....and Woody........Buzz is going to ride on the back

Gosh dangit I love this kid!

The 2 year old mind

Halsy brought the kids to the church building tonight for tithing settlement after my Valiant Girls Activity. Cameron doesn't really come to the church building unless it is for church, so when he was driving in the car to come he said to Halsy;

Cameron: Are we going to church?
Halsy: Yes
Cameron: But Daddy, we don't wear our pajamas to church, that's silly
Halsy: Well, what do we wear to church then?
Cameron: My tie

He is so darn adorable!
