Thanksgiving with the family. Grayson with Great Grandma Bledsoe

Camden not big on pictures-or having things on his head!

Camden in his big boy bed! He loves Lightning McQueen!

Had to add this cute little face! Love those chubby cheeks!

About a week before Christmas we got to gether with friends and made Gingerbread houses! We had so much fun- Brian is a perfectionist! I let him do most of the work!

 Brad, Kaitlyn, and Bennett

Taryn playing with the boys!

Our finished products!

We went to see the lights at Mission Inn with Brian’s Family. It was so fun to have Great Grandma Barton come along! We had such a fun time!

Love my Husband and my sweet little family!

Great Grandpa Bledsoe turned 80 so the family all got together to celebrate with him! I love going out to their place any chance we can get! It’s so fun to spend time with his Grandparents and enjoy the scenery at their beautiful home! And as always the food is divine!!

Grayson is quite the chunk! He is super heavy but is the BEST baby!! I love these leg warmers! So cute!

Camden and Joseph playing together! They have so much fun and actually play really nice with each other!

We were playing tag and soccer! They were funny to watch!

Camden running wild- and always thinks the toys are HIS!- Can’t wait for him to learn to share!!

One of my besties was able to come out and visit for a couple days! I love Nicolle and hanging out with her is the best! She is so fun!

Wow- it seems like I have been sewing my little fingers off these days… I have been making dresses for my nieces, dresses for a craft show, and these super cute mummy shirts for Halloween! I saw some little boys at seaworld with mummy shirts on similar to these and I thought I would re-create them! I didn’t have a clue what to dress the boys as and since we decided to do the Trunk-or-treat at the church I figured this would be a perfect theme to go on!

Boo!~ Chubby Mummy!!

Sad Mummy!

Dad and Camden at the trunk or treat bouncy house! Camden wanted to go in but was too scared to actually do it! He is quite the funny little boys sometimes!! Don’t mind the shirt being WAAAY too big for him! I think he can probably wear it until he’s 10! It was the smallest one I could find at JoAnns! Poor kid!

Here was our car at the Trunk-or-treat! We called it the Mummy Mobile-or as our friends called it…the Toilet Bowl! Either one works I guess!! The car didn’t turn out quite as great as I wanted it too! That’s ok! Grandma and Grandpa Barton came and took Camden around trick or treating all the cars and we had a blast!! I LOVE Halloween!!

We had so much fun when my family came for the blessing! We made sure to plan some fun things to do while they were here! Here are a few pics to show all of the craziness that went on!

Camden learning how to wera flippers- super silly! Uncle Daws wanted to take them to the beach so we had them out to play with! Dawson also took them to the pool the few night swims that we did! Only an Idaho boy would jump in a super cold pool in the middle of October! Good thing the weather was warm!

This pretty much shows what Grayson was up to the whole time! Not a care in the world!

We spent a couple days in San Diego and were able to go see the Mormon Batallion Center in Old Town! It was amazing! Dawson didn’t really want to go but I know even he had a good time- dressing up like a mormon soldier, panning for gold, and pumping water from the ground! I hope we get to go again soon!!

Camden thought all of the old things were pretty cool! Not that he had a clue what they were!

Panning for gold with Aunt Deeona

Learning how to pump his own water! I think we definately need one of these in our back yard! He threw a fit when it was time to go!

Yep there is Grayson again! ZZzzzZZzzz

Great Grandma Bauman getting in on the action!

Deeona is going to love me for this!! I just HAD to post it!

Got to the beach and of course it was FREEZING!!! We stayed out of the water-(except for Dawson- Crazy boy) and made sand castles, looked for shells, and fed the birds!

LOVED SEAWORLD! It was all our first times-Except Brian and I had to say we had a blast!!

What could be better than seeing a live Sesame Street show? Maybe riding on all of the super cute Sesame street rides!

Camden had soooo much fun!

The shows were fantastic!

There will definately be a repeat trip to seaworld!! I can’t wait to go again! Thanks for my family coming all the way here and being good sports about getting lost in San Diego, and going everwhere with us! We love you!!!

Getting my little Grayson dressed with the help of Grandma and Great Grandma Bauman

Grandmas discovering that the outfit is almost a little too small!

Such a sweet picture! Grayson is so lucky to be so loved!

Had to get a picture in the bonnet!

Camden is not too enthused to get in his church clothes! This was his first experience with a tie and it wasn’t going over too well! I do think he looks super handsom…just like his daddy!

Our eternal family! We are so blessed!

Four Generations!

Grandma and Grandpa Bauman

The whole Barton Family

Uncle Dawson and Aunt Deeona

This is my little angel! I look at him and I know that he came straight from Heaven! He is perfect and the best little boy!

This picture captures his personality perfectly!

My sweet boy with the blanket Great Grandma Bauman made him for the blessing!

BUBBLES! Hahaha! So sweet!

Those cute little booties! With the blanket Grandma Barton made him!

At the dinner afterwords Camden is cheezin it up while drinking Great Grandma Bauman’s grape juice delight! This is my favorite drink from growing up and luckily I was able to get Grandma to bring me some jars of this for special occasions!

I think the cake Grandma Barton got sums it up! God Bless Grayson! We are so blessed to have such a healthy beautiful little boy and such wonderful family to share him with!

I just had to share this picture… this is the first time Camden has fallen asleep in a totally random spot! Such a funny boy!

We had so much fun at taking our little ones to the last Angles game of the season! Luckily Brian’s co-worker had tickets he couldn’t use and so we were able to go free- doesn’t get much better than that!! Camden didn’t care too much about the game but he sure did love all of the songs and lights that flashed on all of the screens! It was so fun to watch the game through his little eyes! We can’t wait until next season when he might actually understand what is happening! I live for family moments like these!

Holy Cow! We have a 2 year old! We are so lucky and grateful to have this sweet little boy in our lives! He has taught us so much and I can’t imagine life without him…I am learning the meaning and value of patience!

I have a lot to blog so I am doing small pictures!  Camden is in love with a few things right now… Winnie the Pooh, Cars ( Lightning McQueen) and runs around the house saying Ka Chow, Toy Story (“Buzz to the Rescue”-as Cam says), and Thomas the Train. I wanted to let Cam get in on the action with decorating cupcakes for Park day- he seems to love helping mommy when I am doing a fun baking project. We bought Winnie the Pooh cupcake liners (which he got to put in the pan) and made honey bee cupcakes to share with everyone on his special day! As you can see he loved them- along with everyone else at the park!

Later that night we went to Grandma and Grandpa Bartons house and let him decorate a few more cupcakes the way he wanted- loves the sprinkles! He blew out the candles and got down and dirty opening his presents! It was so fun to watch him this year get excited about what is in the packages!

The next day we had a little party where Great Grandma and Grandpa Bledsoe came- he was so excited to see his new bike from his Great Grandparents and his new Lightning McQueen helmet from Grandma and Grandpa. He wore the helmet for days after saying “hat” “hat”- such a funny little boy!

I wanted to make a special cake for Camden so I talked to my sister and brother and got ideas from them and told me the correct way to make marshmallow fondant! It was so fun and easy to make! The cake isn’t anything special I know, but it was so rewarding to see Camden’s face when we showed it to him! He loved that there were some of his favorite Cars 2 characters on top and drove the cars around the fondant track after he blew out the candles! He was a little sad when I cut into it and couldn’t drive them around anymore!

Camden is such a blessing and are looking forward to many more birthdays to come- not too soon though!

Our first real outing was going to Great Grandma and Grandpa Bledsoe’s house at 1 and a half weeks old! Grayson got to meet some great family and friends! We also had a little birthday cake for me too! 26 feels really old- but too young to be a mom of 2! haha!

Grayson not really wanting to smile for the Camera! Probably wanted to eat…like always!

Great Grandma loving on Grayson!

I always love going to the Bledsoe’s house and spending time together as a family!

Singing Happy Birthday to me!

Brian has such an amazing family- that includes the Burkeys! We love you guys!

 Tom’s Farm- always fun!

In Corona there is a really fun place called Tom’s Farm- It’s a farmers market, great place to get lunch or dinner, petting zoo, and has fun rides for the kids.  When Grayson was 2 weeks old I felt like we needed to get out of the house and take Camden somehwere he could enjoy and this is where we ended up! Living in California- we aren’t exposed to farm animals very much so it is great taking Cam somewhere where he can experience some of the things that I was able to growing up! He loves the animals!

Daddy was so nice to feed the goats and let them climb all over him! Camden thought that was funny- Brian didn’t because they ruined his shorts but you do anything to make your child happy right?!

I love his little face…

Okay so mommy had to climb in (in my new shoes) and go with Cam to see the little pigs! I hate chicken poop…and got it all over our shoes!

Cam got to ride the Carousel…

…and the train! We had so much fun with just our little family! It’s such a blessing to be able to see the world through their little eyes! The smallest things make them so happy and in turn make us as parents so happy! We are so blessed!

Headed to the beach at 3 weeks!

We have always loved going to the beach but with gas prices so high we have barely been able to go! This was our first trip this summer and Camden was having a ball!!

This is pretty much how Grayson spend the whole afternoon… love newborns!

Sand EVERYWHERE!!!

Our cute little beachbum just hanging out in the shade!

Me and my amazing husband who loves me even when I look like this!! I couldn’t make it through without him! His is my constant support and keeps me trying to be and do better! Love you!

These two pictures are kind of random but I had to add them! Aunt Renee’s birthday was here and so we made a cake for her day! Camden was so awesome at decorating the cake for her! I am so proud to see how much he has grown and learned! Such an amazing boy and i’m sad that he is almost 2! He has been such a joy to us!

This little guy is so much Bauman…atleast he looks that way right now…

3 weeks old- he’s starting to plump right up!!! Already looking buff like daddy!

Camden jumping right in the picture and wearting his favorite “buzz to the rescue” shirt!

5 weeks old and loving his paci!

6 weeks old and loves to smile

7 weeks old and has found his thumb! So different than Camden- we could never give him a paci and he didn’t like any of his fingers… we just had to deal with the crying! So blessed that Grayson will take just about anything…thumb, paci, bottle… yay!!

This little boy is such an angel! I am amazed at how much love you can have for a child! It is so much more challenging with 2 but the rewards are twice as great! I love being a mom!!
