This was a couple hours ago. He thought it was the hilarious that they popped out all over the place. He tried to do it after I did but mostly he just dumped them out and he didn't think that was as funny :)

Emily and I were laughing SO hard. It was the funniest thing to watch his pathetic attempt at crawling. It doesn't help that he is so big for his age. This was his favorite of Emily's ring tones.

(Don't forget to scroll all the way to the bottom of the blog to turn off or pause my music.)

Ben figured this out. When he is playing, he likes to be left alone on the bench, but he wants to make sure EVERYONE is listening :)

Cam has been SOOOO much fun lately. Seriously! He is scooting all over the place and starting to crawl. He eats everything he can get his hands on. He has 8 teeth and he knows how sharp they are. What is it that tempts everyone with whom he comes in contact to stick a finger in his mouth. Just to check if they really are sharp? I guess, well he bites them. :) He's finally starting to grow some hair...finally.

Well, I couldn't restrain myself. Wouldn't he have made a pretty little girl? Lol




Chaz and I took Cam when we went picking strawberries. He enjoyed it thoroughly. I had to keep crackers in each hand so that he would stop eating strawberry leaves. I can't believe he could even reach them but Chaz and I kept pulling leaves out of his mouth.





He thinks the empty bath is his playpen. He tries really hard to turn on the water. Thank goodness he can't reach yet!



His first Ginger Snap. Omigosh....

Long time no post... Get ready for LOTS of pics:) The weather has been gorgeous here so we are having a blast outside. Cam LOVES it outside. He loves Rogue and Riken (the dogs) and the cat. He can't get enough. Tons of waterskiing, BBQs, parks, etc.


Benny...first time on the boat. It was so gorgeous! He went tubing but I couldn't talk him in to skiing :(


Emily and Liz on the tube.




Lizzy is getting really good at skiing. Can't say I'm surprised but I am very impressed! A girl after my own heart....




Cam cam and Grandpa. Best buddies. Cam lights up whenever Grandpa comes in. He loves to just hang out. He gets offended if Grandpa walks past him without saying hi.






S'mores anyone? Our friends Kathy and Conner were camping and they invited us out for a BBQ. It was tons of fun. Cam had his first s'mores and loved them. We played games and went to the park right across the street from the campsite. It was a beautiful evening. Tons of fun.




First time in a hammock. It doesn't look like he's having fun but he could not stop laughing. It was so stinking cute!



Standing man! kind of. He's getting there. He loves to try. He walks along the couch and stands for about 10 seconds before he gets too excited and tips or collapses. He sure does try though.



He had to have Mom's hat :)


I guess life is more fun if you are IN the toybox. So here he is


Talking all the way home. Always talking...and always happy, almost.

My little guy was being SO funny this morning. He was laughing like this for like 5 minutes before I grabbed the camera. He really is a good natured kid all the time. We're extremely lucky!

Always playing catch-up...

Okay...I haven't posted anything in forever because SOO much was happening, which means I have that much more to catch up on. This will be a long one so HANG ON:)

March was a CRAZY month. Ben, Cameron and I were sealed in the Portland Temple on March 17th!



It was amazing. Having grown up in Oregon, this one is my personal favorite. It is so gorgeous.

It was such a special experience. One we'd looked forward to for a while. Words can't describe the feelings and emotions we experienced. Cameron was so handsome! Our friend Kathy made Cam's little outfit. It was perfect! We're lucky to have her. It was a REALLY long day (plus Portland is an hour and a half away) so I was terrified that Cam would be a mess and scream the entire time. Nope, he was perfect. Cooed once as he was being sealed to us but otherwise just looked around a lot.

Here are some pics...


















Like I said Cameron was an angel which was impressive, because by the end, I was exhausted.

Ben's parents and sister were there, my parents and Rob, Jocelyn and Jesse came. Most everyone had to travel a long way to be here for it which was hard but we were so glad they came.

Callie, Ben's sister, had JUST gotten home from her mission in Maryland. We knew of each other from working at Copper Hills Youth Center but this was the first time I really talked to her. It was really great that she was able to be there. Timing was perfect.



This is Callie and Cameron. Cam, of course, has drool ALL over his chin...



Rob, Jocelyn, Rylee and Jesse came too! This was my first time meeting my little niece Rylee. She is sooooo funny. Too many pictures. I'll do a slideshow.





PLUS Ashlyn, Melissa and Jenna got to come for a week so Cameron was spoiled beyond belief. Here is a bunch of pictures of my sisters.




This is gettting REALLY long. I'll stop now. Pretty crazy month but it was so much fun.
