Silhouette

 I woke up this morning for some reason wanting to play with my silhouette and the camera.  So I showered, did my hair and got set up in the kids room.  I started to take some shots when William wanted to know what I was doing.  With the remote in my hand I would snap some shots and then go check them out, and then in the place I was standing was William saying, "CHEESE".  He is so cute, so of course I had to get his silhouette as well.  Then I would say, "My turn" and return to my spot for another shot while William would go stand next to the tripod and held onto it.  I would hit the shutter on the remote and he would get so excited.  I think he thought he was taking the picture of Mommy.  It was real cute and he was having fun.  We continued to play our game for another 10 minutes or so.



Finger painting.... a traumatizing experience!

What kid doesn't like to finger paint?  Apparently mine.  My preschool classes always got really excited when I would pull out the paints and let them paint whatever their hearts desired.  Maybe William is still to young, because he wanted NOTHING to do with it.  He cried and cried and I just laughed.  I'm such a nice Mom.  Who knew paint could be so horrifying?  I guess for now we'll stick with crayons and markers.



Our baby has a name!

It took us long enough to agree and on a name that we both love, but we are happy to announce that "Baby Girl" will have a name before she is born.  This name came to me a couple of weeks ago out of the blue, just in the nick of time.  Last night, I told Lee that I wanted to sit down and pick a name because it was driving me crazy.  We talked about the two names that we narrowed it down to and last night agreed that ______ would make the perfect name for our baby girl.  Since we are so close to meeting her, we are going to keep it a secret and reveal it to everyone when she is born.  :)

"My favorite color is DIRT.  When Mom takes the trash out, I escape outside, run to the garden and play.  Later that week, Mom dug 6 slivers out from the bottom of my feet."

"Hey, this used to be my seat!  I would like it back, please.  I'm pretty sure I still fit."

Resting...........................

 I'm at that point in this pregnancy (37 weeks and 1 day) where I am just full on tired and achy from head to toe.  Most of my free time is spent here on the couch.  And while I am laying on the couch, William's favorite place to sit is either on my hips or beind my back.  He is such a silly little man!

He is a really sweet boy.  Here is is giving me "loves".  :)

 This picture was taken about a month ago.  Not to bad looking.

 WARNING: Bare naked face below!  Much scarier than the one above!

And this ladies and gentelman is what complete and total exhaustion taking over your entire body looks like.  WOW, check out those bags under the eyes!  This was taken today.  I told you, I've hit that "point".  It's a "No make-up, I don't care to run a brush through my hair" kind of day.

Father and Sons camp out

 Friday afternoon I sent my two boys up the mountain for their first Father and Sons Camp out.  Lee was pretty excited about the whole thing and William didn't know where they were going, all he cared about was that he got to go "Bye-Bye" with Daddy!

William LOVES being outside, so Lee said he was everywhere and having a blast.  They even had a Bobcat loader for a digging project they were doing and every time William heard it come on, he ran to investigate.

That night it got C.O.L.D.  Lee had forgotten how cold it got up there and apparently him and William didn't sleep much.  They snuggled in the same sleeping bag to keep warm but they were still freezing.  By morning, William was pretty cranky from the lack of sleep and the cold, so after breakfast and fetching William out of the stream, my boys headed home. 

Even though it didn't turn out as good as Lee had hoped, they both still had fun.  My Dad took my nephew Ryder and my brother Randy took his son Clayton as well.  Better luck next year when William will be a little bigger.  And next time we'll pack more blankets!
