Just some of my favorite pictures of Cameron :)

Happy New Year!

I can't believe it is 2010! I feel that 2009 went by so fast. It probably helped that a lot happened in 2009. I graduated from college, had a baby, and passed two difficult sign language tests. It was a busy year for us. We are looking forward to many wonderful things this year.

Christmas was spent as my parents house in Texas. It is always good to be with the family. It was our 3rd Christmas together and Cameron's first. We bought Guitar Hero for ourselves this year and bought a couple of toys for Cameron. He isn't old enough to understand what is going on, so we thought there was really no point to buy too many things for him. Grandma Dee and Papa bought him a couple of toys, a children's Book of Mormon story book, pj's, and an outfit. He is one spoiled kid, but I'm sure he doesn't mind ;)

On New Year's Eve, we had a fondue party. It didn't turn out the way that we had hoped, but it was fun for me. I have never done fondue before. At this time, everyone was getting sick, so of course no one stayed up.

We are now home and start work and school this week. Not too excited, but that is life. I do start back at work this week so Tyler will be alone with Cameron for about 2 hours. It will give him some bonding time with Cameron. It will be good for both of them.

Cameron is turning 3 months on Tuesday. It has just flown by. I can't believe how big he is getting. He is staying awake longer and loves to smile. Papa was the first to get him to laugh. It was the cutest thing ever!! Unfortunately, Papa was the only one to get him to laugh. I guess I will just have to work on it. I'm sure he will come around soon for all of us to enjoy :)

We hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday.

2 Wonderful Years!

I can't believe that we have been married for 2 years (technically tomorrow). It has been the greatest years of my life so far. I have found my prince charming and I love spending every minute that I can with him.

We now have a beautiful son together. I am looking forward to more children with him. It is just so exciting to have a family now. I still love being alone with Tyler, but Cameron makes it just that much more special. He is the world to me. I can't picture my life without him now. He is on my mind 24/7. Being a "stay-at home" mom now, I watch the clock waiting for him to call saying that he is off work/school and on his way home. I love it when he walks through the door. My heart just races for him.

I am looking forward to many more years together and creating a bigger family. I love you so much Tyler. Thanks for being my husband :)

Our Engagement Pictures

Us Now

2 months!!

Our little boy is 2 months old! I can't believe how much he is growing. He is 11 lbs 13 oz (50%) and 24.5 " (75%) tall. I am glad he is growing. He isn't a chunk, but he is growing well and healthy. We are blessed to have such a cute and good baby. He is now smiling more and more and it is the cutest thing ever!! He sleeps about 8 hours a night and it is great since it allows me to sleep at night too. He is starting to stay up a little bit more in between feedings. He is still trying to learn how to hold up his head. He does great when on my stomach, but not so good when we put him on the floor. Hopefully he will get over that soon. We are still trying.

He gets to go on his first plane ride next week to Texas. We head there on the 24th to spend Christmas and New Year's with my parents. It will be nice to go to warmer weather for a little while. It allows my sister and brother in law to see him finally too. They are both excited.

Tyler has finally registered for his last semester for his Associate's Degree. We got his schedule so that I will be able to go to work for a little bit at night. That way we don't have to leave Cameron with a stranger. It will also give Tyler some daddy time which I know he will enjoy :)

Nothing else is really going on. Just going day by day and I am looking forward to each day, especially as he grows and becomes more fun than just something that eats, sleeps, and poops. :)

Baby Blessing/Christmas Card

Cameron had his baby blessing yesterday. Tyler did an amazing job. The blessing was great! Cameron has a lot to look forward to as he gets older. It was nice to have family there to participate. We also had the guy from upstairs participate. We have grown close to them as we have lived in their basement. We even said that Cameron can call them "grandparents." I remember growing up and having "grandparents". It was fun.

This year for Thanksgiving, I decided to cook since my parents were in town for the blessing. I got a recipe from my sister-in-law because Tyler wanted turkey that wasn't turkey. He wanted a different flavor. The turkey turned out great! I was so proud of myself. I cooked the entire meal for us, but I was thankful to have my family here to help since I was also taking care of Cameron. It was a long day.

Now it is Christmas season. We put up our tree yesterday with my parents here. I haven't been able to do that in a long time, so it was nice to have them here. Cameron is way too young to understand what is going on, but next year will be fun and from here on out.

He is turning into such a cutie. I love watching him grow every day. He is getting so big! I am really not looking forward to going back to work because I will have to leave him, but I know it is good for me and for him. We also need the money, but it is figuring out how I can go back to work.

The Lord is really blessing us this year. I just got word that I passed my state level certification as well for interpreting. We have accomplished my goals we had set before having Cameron. We wanted to pay off the car (now we own both of them), pass my level 2 test and pass the NIC written. We did all that plus I passed the NIC performance as well (NIC is the national sign language test)!!

We have had a good year. We have a beautiful son who has been great since day one, we have a roof over our heads, food on our table, jobs, and friends and family who love us. We are so thankful for everyone. We hope you all have a great Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Christmas Fun!!

Santa!

We had our family Christmas party this weekend so that my aunt can spend the next 4 weeks with her daughter who is about to have twins and so that my grandparents would be able to come up when it isn't snowing. It did snow, but not as bad as it could have. It is always fun to see family. We did get a cute picture of Cameron and Santa. We look forward to many more pictures!
