Fall Festivities

Kevin's parents came down to visit a couple of weeks ago for Cameron's birthday. We went to a pumpkin patch complete with a wagon ride, hay maze, and cider. We had lots of fun, but I'm not sure it compared to Michigan's fall festivities!

The kids were excited that they had regular pumpkins & camo pumpkins.


Grammy & Papa bought Cameron a very cool Lightening McQueen bike. He LOVES it!




Wish I could take credit for this adorable cake, but my wonderful husband actually decorated it! Pretty talented if I do say so myself!

Cameron turns 4!

It's hard to believe that 4 years has already gone by since my baby boy was born. I know every parent says to enjoy every moment because it's gone in a blink of an eye...but I don't think you can really understand it until you see it for yourself. I blinked and my baby is four! I am so thankful for the past four years--Cameron has added such joy and delight to our family. I can't wait to see what God has in store for his future!

Cameron & I had a "mommy date" for his birthday. We made cupcakes, went to build a bear, the lego store, and the ended the fun in the slums of Columbus at a McDonald's playland. Yes, what a mother wouldn't do for her child. I was using a GPS to find McDonald's--only downfall is they don't tell you if you're heading into the slums. I wanted to leave as soon as we pulled into the parking lot, but of course, the birthday boy had spotted the play area. So...I prayed for saftey & we headed in to eat & play =)

A nice lady offered to take our picture together--Cameron, "Doggy", & me.

Making cupcakes--he's showing me he's four!

He did such a good job putting those sprinkles on!

Firsts

Halley took her first field trip with her new school yesterday, and I was able to go with her! It was a day full of firsts...Halley's first field trip on a bus, first time to the Columbus Zoo, and my first time meeting some of her new friends and their moms. It was also the first sunshine we had seen all week!

A little squinty, but happy for the sunshine =)

Halley loved the aquarium!
