Down on the farm...

Tonight we went to this fun place near us called Johnson's farm. It has an awesome playgound, farms animals you can feed, a hayride and you get to pick fruit. Cameron had a blast! He love picking the fruit the best- we got apples and nectarines. Yummy! Azer pretty much slept the whole time- which was nice. Here are some pictures of our adventure:

Now that's a good lookin' bunch- LOL!

We're learning about Cows this week so this was fun for Cameron.

Getting a peek from the Az-man

Cameron riding the "go-carts". Really Ryan had to push him the whole way-
but he still enjoyed it!

Picking the fruit.

Love the smiles

We have some Cuuuuuuuutttttteeeeee kids! I'm not biased at all ;)

WE HAVE CONTACT!

So after my post the other day about Cameron's potty training we took the fabulous comments into consideration and went at it a little harder these past few days. Ryder played a HUGE roll in getting Cameron's "big boy underwear" on. We showed Cameron Ryder's picture wearing them and he was all for it! YAY! He did also poop and pee in them a couple of times yesterday- not so yay there- but it's got to start somewhere, right?? We've also been setting a timer and asking him every so often if he wants to sit on the potty. If he does then he gets a skittle. I did NOT want to bribe him with candy but I DO want him potty trained before he's married so whatever works at this point! LOL! We of course had to take pictures of the momentous occasion- what kind of mother would I be if I didn't ;)

C. chilling on the potty

And the BEST news of all?? Today he actually pee'd on the potty!! YAY Cameron!!!

Beach baby, Beach baby...

As we only live just over an HOUR from the beach we had to go before Ryan's school started and we got too busy and we missed the season. We had a great time and I'm sure we're going to have lots of fabulous times next summer. I Lalalalalove being so close to a beach. Cameron was hesitant about the water and preferred to be on the sand but he did get in a couple of times.

The water seemed a littler warmer than the CA beaches I've been to and there were a TON of jellyfish. They looked like ice on the sand. There was a little kid near us touching them so I don't think they were dangerous- but we all steered clear nonetheless. There was also way LESS seaweed. Hooray!

Cool dude Cameron

Azer was a happy little guy.

Making sand castles

Putting Azer's feet in the sand/water for the first time.

Making Cookies

Cameron LOVES to help anytime he can in the kitchen. If he sees Anyone in there doing Anything he is pulling a chair from the table to come and help. Most of the time I am guilty of trying to dissuade him from "helping" but the other day I decided that was not the right attitude to have so we made cookies together. Here are some pictures of our fun:

Pouring some flour- *we* may have added a little too much.

Missed the bowl by about an inch....

Yummy dough

Getting ready to bake

The delicious end result!!

The clean-up may have been a little harder but the process was SO much more fun!

The joys of the mobile

The pictures say it all:

Mini-Me

This morning Ryan was getting ready for his orientation at the Law School. Cameron was roaming around in his pj's. We went downstairs to get breakfast started and Cameron came down a few minutes later dressed as Ryan's mini-me. That kid is too funny! Granted the clothes were in the dirty pile and he got the shirt on backwards- but it's the thought, right?

Ryan and his mini-me.

At least we've now got a viable Halloween option- Dr.Evil and mini-me. Guess it's time to start shopping for the gray suits and bald caps.
