Finally...Family Pics

A year and a half after Camden was born, we finally have our first family pictures! Here are some of my favorites...

Pretty decent considering our little guy was not in the mood to cooperate that day! Oh the joys of a strong-willed boy...wouldn't trade him for anything.

Music Class

Camden and I love our music class we take on Tuesdays! It is so fun to watch Camden sing, dance, and play instruments. It has also been a great first step to him learning to follow directions in a group setting and listen to a teacher. We plan on signing up again next semester for more fun! Daddy joined us for our last class so we were able to get a few pics and videos of Camden enjoying himself. :)

Yes, my son is always right in the middle of the action...he is certainly not shy! This is one area in which he has improved dramatically, he sits relatively still on the blanket during story time each week. The parachute is his absolute FAVORITE...he loves running underneath it and squealing!

While Mama's Away...

Camden will play! Grampa and Mimi came to entertain Cam while Mama went on our annual Girls Weekend with her Baylor friends. As always, he had a great time with them! Thanks for making the trip, Grampa and Mimi, and thanks to Daddy for always wanting Mama to have fun with her friends!

Looks like Camden had fun!
Feeding the ducks with Mimi. Game Day gear with Grampa...Go Big Red!
Cheering on cousin Brooke at her volleyball game.

And here are a couple of pic's of Mama and her gals! What a fun trip! So thankful for my sweet friends and fun get aways!

We went to Charlotte, NC this year to see where Lauren lives. It was so beautiful this time of year!

Trick or Treat?

Camden, appropriately dressed as a monkey, really enjoyed his first real trick or treating experience. At the beginning, he was hesitant to knock on doors and was more concerned about the kids dressed as football players than the candy. But he quickly learned the value of Reese's and Butterfingers which happen to be Mama and Dada's favorites!

Cam enjoyed putting candy into his pumpkin. "Smiling" with Mama

Apparently monkeys like to climb fire hydrants.

Dada teaching him the art of trick or treating!

Lollipops are his favorite! (Maybe because that is the only candy he was allowed to eat...)
Monkey see, Monkey do.

Happy Halloween!

Costumes at Music Class

Every Tuesday morning, Camden and I go to a fun mommy and me music class. It is especially fun because we meet our friends Meghan and Noah there! Cam loves dancing, singing, and all the instruments. This past week, the kiddos dressed up in their Halloween costumes for class. It was too cute! Camden is really into turtles right now and wanted to keep hugging the little boy in the turtle costume...it was pretty funny! I'll try to get some more pictures of the class before our semester ends, but for now, here is the group!

*This was at the end of class and Camden was so over having his hood up! :)

Nichols Family Camp Out

Last weekend was our annual Nichols Family Camp out and this year we headed to Tyler State Park for some fun. The weather was beautiful and Camden always loves time with his family!

There was a great tree for the cousins to climb on right beside our campsite! My sweet Mom

Enjoying some time by the water...it was pretty sad how low the water was due to the drought!Camden liked looking at the lake!Our big boy climbing away!Breakfast timeToby aka "The jungle gym" Silly boys! Grandmother, Aunt Mary Ann, Leigh Ann, and Kellie came out to visit. Toby was less than thrilled when we came out in the same shirt! He changed...haha!

Follow the Leader...

I love this picture that of Camden following his older buddy Bryce while playing at the Arboretum. So thankful that my little boy has great influences to follow and pray that he will always be surrounded by friends that will build him up.
