Go Big Red!


Halle Girl

Love seeing this girl's personality come out and her discovering new tricks!





Siblings "Sharing"

I'm sure this won't be the last time Camden insists on sharing something of Halle's.  Yesterday I was taking a picture of Halle and Cam said "I want in", so I said ok thinking he meant in the picture....turns out, he meant the Bumbo seat!

Sweet Conversation

One of my hopes is that Camden and Halle will grow up knowing about their brother Beckett and that he will be a normal part of our conversation.  As a mom and a Christ follower losing him makes me long for the day where we will be united in Heaven.  I can't wait to see all three of my kids together.  I pray that Camden and Halle will come to know Christ at an early age and that Beckett's life will be a good way to have conversations about Heaven.

I didn't want to forget this conversation we had at lunch today.

Me: Who is God?
Cam: He loves us very much.
Me: Where does he live?
Cam: In Heaven with Beckett.  I wanna have shake milks (we had milkshakes on Beckett's birthday this year) and give him a balloon).  A star one (we sent a read star balloon up in the air this year too).  Who is Beckett's mommy?
Me:  I am.  I miss him.
Cam:  I miss him too,  Can I play with him?

Then he quickly moved on to wanting to know who Copper's mommy is...

A few minutes later,

Cam: Who is Beckett's Daddy?
Me:  Daddy is.
Cam: You are my Mommy and Daddy is my daddy.
Me: Beckett is your brother.
Cam: And my special friend.

Love my boys!

Halloween 2012

I loved watching how much Camden got into Halloween this year!  It is so fun to watch him experience things.  He would go up to each house, knock, and say "Happy Halloween" before anyone even answered!  The cutest part was that he always said "trick or treatING" not trick or treat and he was good about saying "thank you"!  He's already asked the past 2 nights if we can go again when it gets dark and Daddy gets home.  And in true Halle fashion, she was a breeze!  She slept in her stroller most of the time.  It was a fun family night! Warning: all of these pics are from my phone so the quality is pretty poor!
My 1st attempt at a cute pic of both kids...
it ended quickly as Cam was not that into sitting still!
Every time we got a pic of him he wanted to say "roar" and would look scary!
 
Brave boy walked right up to the houses all by himself!
Our little dragon wanted a lift after a while...
Sweet sleeping beauty
We had to take a stop for a chocolate break
Love these two!
And my little guy!

Lately

Love them. 
A fun treasure hunt with friends complete with binoculars and... 
 a gold medal prize!  He loves to wear it!
How cool do we look?  This is how we went for a walk on one of our cool days last week... 
Someone likes to eat their hands all the time these days! 
You can't go to Home Depot aka The Tractor Store without Cam taking a ride. 
 Flying with Daddy
Huge head control improvement!  And she loves that baby in her mirror. 
She was even having a conversation with her here! 
Lots of playtime outside while its still warm!

Nana, Nana, Nana!




We've all gotten a little spoiled to having family visit so much since Halle was born.  This past week Nana came to visit for a couple of days!  And as usual, we all LOVED having her here.  Camden has said multiple times that he "really really misses Nana" since she left.  I feel exactly the same way!  Here are a couple of shots of our time with her!
