Baby Belly Pictures

Instead of posting a picture on my blog each week I decided just to start a slide show. So, if you're interested in watching my belly grow weekly than look at my side bar each week for an updated picture. I have posted my 16th and 17th week (from today) so far. Have fun, and try not to judge too much as you watch, not only my belly grow, but my whole body grow too!

Cade's 1st Tooth

I woke up this morning and I was playing with Cade's mouth. You know, helping him make goofy sounds. Anyways, I happened to rub on his lower gum and I felt something poky!! I looked, after a few of his screams, and he let me see his first budding tooth! It's on the bottom, left. I don't think you can see it in the picture, but trust me it's there! He's growing up so fast, it's sad but exciting at the same time. I'm sure all mom's know exactly what I'm talking about.

Happy Brithday Cameron!! And a Happy New Year!

Happy Birthday yesterday Cameron. I couldn't post anything yesterday because I was busy with Cameron all day. Cam is now 26 years old, he is sure getting old haha. So, here were our activities for the day. Yesterday morning Cade woke up at 7:45 so I decided to take him into the Living room away from Cameron so he could sleep in. Cam hasn't been able to sleep in at all for a long time due to work and the holidays. I put Cade in his bouncer and put on his cartoons and I slept, on and off, on the couch for about another hour. Then I got up made Cameron's cake, his favorite, a yellow cake with chocolate frosting, and then started making biscuits and gravy, one of Cameron's favorites. He woke up when I was finishing up. He said it was the best gravy I have ever made, just in case you were wondering :). After Cade's nap we went over to his parent's house around noon and had lunch, cake and ice cream w/ his parents, brother Dave and his family. Nancy, Cam's mom, was nice enough to make us chicken noodle soup, thanks. He opened gifts after blowing out candles. I got him new waders and a vest all for fly fishing, a pair of jeans, a work shirt and a gift card for i tunes. His parents gave him a brand new set of golf clubs and a really nice bag. His brother gave him some nice Nike golf balls and of course a pack of Bowman Chrome Baseball cards. At around 3:30 Cam and I left Cade w/ his parents and went to Tucanos for dinner, a Brazilian restaurant. It was really good, but dang expensive. After, we were actually able to walk around the mall without Cade, which was nice, and then we went back to the Long's. We hung out for a little while and then went back home. The rest of the night we pretty much relaxed, while Cameron put all his fishing gear together. Haha it was so cute, he was just like a little boy. (I will add the pictures later)

So, happy birthday again Cameron. I hope you had a wonderful day. I'm pretty sure you got and did everything you wanted. Thanks for being such a wonderful husband, father and best friend. I hope you have another wonderful year.

Happy birthday and Happy New Year!

Usually when we celebrate Cameron's birthday with his family his mom is the one that makes the cake. This year I decided I wanted to make it for him. So, here it is. He almost set off the smoke alarm when he blew out the candles.

Mason was the little elf who delivered each gift to Cameron. It was so cute.

Here's the fishing vest I got Cameron, he actually picked it out off of Ebay.

The golf clubs Cameron's parents gave him.

The golf bag from his parents. He's opening up the golf balls from his brother here.

Christmas 2008!!

I thought I should add our Christmas pictures before the New Year. I've just been putting it off because I had so many pictures I didn't want to try to decide what pictures I wanted to post. So, here's just a little taste of our Christmas. Enjoy!


I usually do all the Christmas decorating on my own because Cameron really does not have any interest in it at all. So, this year I thought I would include him by saving the angel for him to put on the tree. So, when he came home from work that day I told him about my plan, he kind of made fun of it but I made him put it on anyways. So, here Cameron is with Cade putting on the tiny little angel ontop of our tiny little tree.
I was very persistant on having Cade visit Santa Claus this year. I finally talked Cameron into going with us the last Saturday before Christmas. Cade wasn't scared at all, I think I actually liked it. Santa let me take my own picture instead of making me pay 15 bucks for theirs, thanks!


We spent Christmas with Cameron's family this year. For the first time in years all the siblings and their families were able to be there. It was so much fun spending it with so many people, especially the kids. Cade loved being with all his cousins, but he was a little scared of all the touchy feely from them. His cousin, Lexy, who is only about 2 months older than him loved him to death. She attacked him with kisses and hugs everytime she saw him. He was so scared, haha, it was so funny. Oh, Cameron's younger brother, Geoff, made balloon animals for all the kids, they loved it!
Christmas Eve we all participated in a Nativity program. It was so much fun, or funny to watch. Cade played baby Jesus, he was so good and just layed there the whole time. His cousins Chloe and Claire played the angel and Mary great w/ child, and Mason played Joseph.

Cade was the first child to wake up Christmas morning @ 7:15. This is him waiting patiently to open his presents, haha. He looks so funny. These are all the stockings from Santa. I love how Cameron's mom, Nancy, decorates for Christmas, it's always so beautiful. This is the Christmas tree w/ all of our 100's of presents.

The other kids finally woke up at around 8:00. Here they are running up the stairs to open their presents under the tree after already opening their stockings. This was Cade while we were opening presents. We took a break half way throught presents to eat a yummy breakfast and then finished up the presents around 11:00. Here are all the grandkids after all the presents, but Lexy, she was taking a nap.

Saturday morning we all met back at Cameron's parents house to take family pictures. I didn't get any pictures with everyone, but here is a picture of our little family.

We had a wonderful time for Christmas. By the time it was all over we were exausted from all the excitement and lack of sleep. But, we all had a wonderful time being together for Christmas. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, at least half as wonderful as us.
