Camp Cameron!

He is turning 3!



Today we celebrated Cameron's birthday with a camping themed birthday party.  The kids painted wooden snakes, embarked on a scavenger hunt for {plastic} bugs and spiders, dug in the dirt to discover 75 {purchased} worms, ate creepy crawly gummy candies and smores on a stick, and played in the tent in the backyard.  It was THE PERFECT birthday party for our little man.  He had all of his favorite friends, yummy treats, and outdoor adventures.  Cameron felt loved and celebrated all day long; he was appreciative, sweet, hysterical, and adorable.  The week had been filled with epic wind, thunder and rainstorms, but for several hours today, it was warm and clear outside so we could host Camp Cameron.

On the eve of his actual birthday, we tucked him into bed with a lot of dirt under his fingernails and sugar running through his veins.  He is snuggled into his brand new, orange sleeping bag, with his new flashlight and mini-camping lantern and a new shark toy in bed with him.

Dirt. Candy. Friends. Fresh Air. Sharks. Worms. Trucks. Tents.



BEST. DAY. EVER.



Happy Birthday, Buddy.

Motherhood

Happy Mother's Day!



Being a mom brings millions of moments of joy-- all of the simple, uncomplicated daily adventures with the kids and all of the organized, thoughtful, significant experiences that come with life.  I love all of the ways that Doug, Sophie, and Cameron make me a better person, a better friend, a better woman, and a better mom.

This week's special moments:



Sophie on her first trail ride
Cam playing independently SO WELL at a neighbor's party


Whitfield family golfing

My kind of Mother's Day brunch: donuts!

Cinco de Mayo/Birthday Party with friends and neighbors
Sophie's first bike ride to the Merc for ice cream with Daddy!


Father-Daughter dance magic






 

Cameron told me all week long that "Mother's Day was snuggle day."  Lucky, lucky me.
