4 months and counting...

Cambry had her four month check-up last week and is doing great!!! She now weighs 15 pounds and is 25 inches long. She's just down right healthy and the doctor had no complaints. Such a blessing since every time with Colten he was put on antibiotics for fluid in his ears. The dr suggested starting cereal and we have tried it a few times. She wasn't so sure about it at first, but then decided it wasn't toooo bad...

She also rolled over from her back to her tummy last night and was quite surprised with herself. She has been determined today to do it again and again. Go baby go!!!

We went to the ranch over the weekend and had a great, relaxing time visiting my parents and rest of the family. It's such a blessing to get away for a short time and just enjoy taking it easy once in a while. Everyone was excited to see the kiddos and Colten was thrilled to just play outside in the dirt. We had a wonderful time and always feel a little more refreshed.

A fun fall weekend

We are tired, but had a full and fun weekend. Friday night we headed to the local stadium for some Friday night high school football. We went with the intention of watching a friend from church play, but realized we had the wrong night when we arrived. Colten was so excited to go and watch the "big boys" play, that we just couldn't turn around and go back home. So instead we stayed to enjoy the game being played. It brought back so many fun memories of Friday nights in high school, and made me feel so far removed at the same time. Colten loved it and really got into the chants and cheers, we just had to remind him the Aggies weren't playing, it was another team...Gig 'em Colten!!! Even Cambry enjoyed all the excitement and lasted a few quarters.

Saturday we met some friends at the Love Creek Orchards in Medina. It was warm, not really fall-like weather, but tons of fun!!! The kids loved it...we walked the pumpkin maze, rode the hayride, petted the goats and chicks, listened to some music and saw lots of fun fall-ish stuff.

We attempted a picture of both kids, but Cambry was sacked out at the end of the day.

We have been meeting in our home for Life Group this month, so Sunday everyone was over and we had a great evening of study, food and fellowship. Now bring on Halloween...we can't wait!!!

One year ago

I was going through Cambry's baby book and adding photos today. I came to the page talking about my pregnancy and I had written that a year ago today was when we found out we were expecting. Wow, how time flies...it really does seem like just yesterday.

Since I was not blogging at the time, I find it only fitting that I post some pictures of her actual "birth" day. So...here are a few of my faves:

It is truly amazing what a difference a year makes. Last year we could not even fathom who this new baby would be or how our family dynamic would change. Now we cannot even imagine life without her, she has made our family so complete. We love you Cambry!!!

Where to begin?

Here it is for all of you out there who have asked...I have a blog!!! So...where to begin? The kids of course!!! Colten is now 3 and our newest and most precious addition Cambry is almost 4 months. What a change it is from 1 child to 2, but what a ride and a fun one at that!!! Colten is just the best big brother and loves his baby sister so much, he just can't get enough of her it seems. Cambry is great, and such a happy content baby...she brings us so much joy. She just seems to love life and just wants to be where everyone is, especially her big brother.

Colten is into...

Wearing any shoes, BUT his own and "hunting" anything in sight with his Nerf gun. And yes, has attempted to shoot Cambry a time or two.

He is loving preschool and doing so wonderful with his new teacher, she's the greatest!!!

Cambry is into...

Rolling, she has almost mastered the belly to back roll, but is much more interested in the back to belly feat...she is definitely a mover and a shaker!!!

And just being lovable, she's just too sweet!!!

Well, I'm happy to join the "blogging world". More to come soon...
