Birthday Boy

Cameron turned ONE on November 18th. Can you believe it?! Growing up too fast, if you ask my opinion :) For his special day we invited a few friends to a nearby park for a little Birthday BBQ. It turned out perfect, what a fun day. My sweet friend Julia took all the pictures for us, she is so great! Party Guests...Our friend Amanda Rock, in the bottom left corner, was also celebrating her birthday. She had just completed a FULL MARATHON and stopped by after her run. And our friend Lindsay Untch, above her, had just completed a half marathon! Go girls!Time for CAKE!! Cam gobbled it up like a real man :) Last year for Avarie's first birthday, she just poked at it and was so dainty. There is nothing dainty about Cam.Avarie and her good buddy Ryan. I think Ryan is saying, "Uh, you got a little somethin-somethin on your face there". Hehe

My 2 favorite little people in the world. Happy Birthday Cameron Spencer!! You are the sweetest Cam-chop Chuskers ever :)

An Attempt at Family Pictures...

So much work goes in to family pictures. Seriously. Coordinating wardrobes, setting a time, getting primped and groomed, being on time at the location, and making sure everyone has their best happy face takes A LOT of effort. And of course Avarie decided to be a diva on the day of our pictures....

Here we are trying to console her...even Cam offered a helping hand.Hey, staring or scowling is better than screaming!And our other successful picture! Woohoo!Though our family pictures were a little rough, the solo shots of Avarie and Cam are insanely sweet.
Such a beautiful little person. How did I get so lucky?? Yes, she is Miss Independent, but I wouldn't have her any other way. She is our tootle-bug :)And HELLO adorable. Cam has me wrapped around his short, chubby little finger. Couldn't you just squeeze this chuskers all day?!? Look at those little loafer shoes!! Hehehe :)

And I love these handsomes.

Let the training begin.

BOO!

Happy Halloween from the Princess and the Pea

Snackin' on the loot.
Cutest little peapod.

Don't forget the "Black-eyed Peas"

(notice Bennett's shirt, you couldn't see the P's on mine in this picture. Many people came up to me and asked if I had been punched....then they noticed the shirt. Hahaha) And just for the record, Avarie and Cam won BEST COSTUME DUO at our church trunk-or-treat party. Boo-ya.

And Bennett says that everyone needs to brush their teeth after all those sweets to avoid being his patient in the future ;)

Oh, hello.

I could SERIOUSLY smother this cuteness. Please don't grow up, Cameron. Be my teeny sweetness forever :)

2 Birthday Girls

October is such a fun month :) The beginning of Fall, beautiful weather, Halloween and baked goodies...oh, and 2 birthdays in our family. For Avarie's special day we started out by going to IHOP for breakfast. She loved it and was such a good girl. Later that night we had our family party with cheese pizza (Avarie's fave) and cupcakes with icecream. Watching her open her presents was awesome. She has the best reactions. She exclaimed, "Oh my! Oh my goodness!" for every present.
For my 27th birthday, I started the day with an appointment at the dental school for Bennett to finish my crown. Hooray! It actually wasn't too bad and he did a GREAT job. Then I went to the park in the afternoon with the tootles to enjoy the gorgeous weather...followed by the tradition of Red Robin - YUMMMMMMM (I couldn't resist). Then we came home for cake and presents. I must say, I was very spoiled. Bennett is so good to me and got all the presents on his own! We had our birthday date this past weekend and went to Texas Roadhouse (another fave) and saw the new "Footloose" movie. I love birthdays, holidays, and pretty much any reason to celebrate! And just because they are so darn cute...
