Colorado Vacation

In early June, our family got the chance to travel to Colorado for a family wedding. We got to spend a lot of time with Toby's family while there and went up to Frisco and stayed for a few days after the wedding. We really enjoyed the beautiful weather and scenery! Toby has already spent quite a bit of time trying to convince me that we should move there. :)

Family picture on a hike (which we got lost on) ~ Mama pregnant with Beckett @ 17 weeks
Cam was quite the trooper in the backpack carrier!
Hiking with Grampa Aunt Marla, Uncle TJ, Grampa & Daddy biked Vail Pass (Daddy didn't let Mama & Beckett go!)
There was so much snow at one point they had to carry their bikes over! Crazy!


More snow!

Camden enjoyed morning coffee and breakfast with Grampa and Mimi every morning. They were so sweet and let Mama and Daddy sleep in!


One afternoon Mama, Daddy, Uncle TJ & Aunt Marla went on a hike. And what a hike it was! Mama was glad she did it, but it was quite the workout hauling Beckett up Mount Royal with an elevation gain of 1385 feet. In fact, I just looked up a description of the hike and it said, "This popular hike is not for those looking for an nice easy flat trail. The hike up Mt. Royal is straight up so get ready for a good workout with rewarding views at the top." So true~it was AMAZING once we made it. :)




Uncle TJ needed two walking sticks for the hike back...

Aunt Marla and Mama happy to be walking down instead of up!

We made it! On top of Mt. Royal!Camden got a few more sweets on this trip than he normally does. :) Ice cream with Mimi!

Little guy in a big chairFirst taste of chocolate pudding...he loved it!
And we certainly couldn't leave out the beautiful couple...congratulations Brandon & Jessi!


The best-looking usher!

Thanks Nana & Papa!

A couple of weeks ago Toby & I headed to San Antonio for a basketball conference/get-away and my parents came to keep Camden. It was the first time we have gone away together since we had Cam and he did great! Toby & I really enjoyed ourselves and sadly took zero pictures on our trip. Nana took several from their time together and you can see how well they kept Camden entertained!


Cam & Nana heading out for a trike ride!


Camden showing off one of his favorite tricks...a hand stand!


Going for a walk with Papa


Nana & Papa must have said something really funny!



Playing at the park with Nana

Outside Fun

We have been taking advantage of the semi-nice weather here before it turns crazy hot! Camden loves to be outside!


Camden LOVES the park! Helping to push some of his lifegroup buddies in the wagon. So sweet!



The sand table has turned into a sand box...he can climb into it himself!
Don't judge since his mouth is on the water hose, but he loves drinking water out of it!


Playing in the fountains


Camden takes driving very seriously....

Camden Goat

Toby had a nick name when he was a little boy...Toby Goat. He got this because of all the climbing he does and I think he passed the trait down to our little guy! Cam has recently discovered how to climb on the couch, recliner, and many other fun household objects. One of his favorites is the ledge on the outside of his crib!



There is a video too, but I've tried like 5 times and can't get it to upload! If I feel patient later, I will try again. :)

Outings with Daddy

I laugh at how different things are for Cam when he goes out with Daddy as opposed to Mama. With Daddy, he hardly ever rides in a cart and gets to play with lots of fun things...let's just face it, Mama is not brave enough for this! Daddy also has a special way of making random errands fun; check out the evidence below!












Cam loves watching lawnmowers and thought he was super cool to "drive" one!

Another haircut

Camden is obsessed with dogs! Toby thought he would like watching the dogs at the dog park and he was right!



Sadly, Camden didn't get a donut on this Saturday morning donut run. :(


Too bad he has no idea that these rides actually move! Haha!



Cam gets so excited when he sees pillow pets in the store! I never let him play with them, but it looks like Daddy does. :)

Mama's Day



Although Mother's Day was a pretty busy day between church and tutoring, we were able to squeeze in a yummy lunch at Posado's and I got spoiled with gifts from my two guys! Can't believe this time next year I will be a mom of two!

Way Behind!!!

Between being 16 weeks pregnant, chasing around a busy 13 month old, and tutoring like crazy as school winds down, I am behind! I'm going to try and catch up on what we've been up to lately!!!
