December 14

Tonight Cameron was on the stairs, not on his feet as he should have been, lost his balance and slid down about 4 or 5 steps on his face. Hence the rug burn over his right eye and eyebrow. When I was putting his to bed he reached up and touched it and said, "Mommy tomorrow we need to go to the Doctor for my owie."

December 13

Time for pictures with Santa! Cameron was so very excited and climbed right up in his lap to start talking to him, gave him like 5 hugs and was great for pictures.

December 12

I think this picture speaks for itself.

December 11




Today we had a few hours of mommy, Cameron time at Disneyland. We got there right after they opened and left at lunch time. As you can see we saw so many friends today, which Cameron was so excited about. We also saw Goofy but I wasn't able to get a picture of him.

So that's what the drip tray is for! As I was watching my coffee brew this morning it dawned on me that something was missing, so instead of grabbing a mug to catch the rest of it what did I do? Grabbed the camera!

December 9

Hooray! Today when Cameron and I walked down tot he mailbox his first issue if High Five was waiting for him, courtesy of Mam Maw. He was so excited when I told him he got a magazine in the mail, and saw his name printed on the label. He held it while he ran all the way back to the house, and sat right down on the couch to look at it.

Looks like Caleb is already training his successor at WGI. I caught Cameron reading the WGI rule book this afternoon, he flipped through every page and moved his finger around the page while he was "reading" it.

December 7

Cameron and I took Panera for lunch to Caleb at school today. The macaroni and cheese from Panera is Cameron's favorite!

Phipps worked his way in between Caleb's back and the couch cushion. Doesn't he look like he's so comfy there cuddling with Caleb, I'm not so sure Caleb was quite as comfy though.

December 5

This morning I wanted to take a picture of Cameron because even though he was wearing footie pajamas he wanted to put his Toy Story slippers on over his pj's. When I asked him if I could take a picture of him he ran over to the Christmas tree to pose.

December 4

 Time for a Disneyland day. Here's Cameron with Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates. 

 Wearing his new Santa Mickey hat with Lightning.

 And then we saw Doug, the dog from Up. Cameron walked up and gave him such a big hug! 

Cuddle pose.

Our Christmas tree was delivered this afternoon, and there it is in its new spot. It came while Cameron was taking his nap so I was able to get it all decorated before he woke up. I'm really excited to have the tree in the family room, and how cozy is it right by the fireplace? I took this picture in night mode so you could see the lights, but I need to try again with a tripod so it's not blurry.

 Cameron and Caleb getting in some wrestling time before dinner tonight.

 Tonight was the Cope Kids Christmas Party at Caleb's school. Here's Cameron working on some of the crafts they had out for the kids to do.

 He was very proud of his completed Santa ornament. See, he wouldn't even take his eyes off him for a picture.

 Sitting down for some Christmas stories around the Christmas tree. 

 Making some friends.

 Santa came for a visit!!!

 Hey, Santa just called my name!

 Look what Santa brought Cameron! Red, the fire truck from Cars for his piston cup garage, he's been hoping and hoping Santa would bring him Red.

He wasn't afraid of Santa at all, which was good because you always hear those stories of Santa showing up at a Christmas party and scaring the pants off of a little kid. At least that's what I'm told happened to me. This was just the first of a couple times that Cameron ran over and climbed up into Santa's lap.

Here are the three ornaments that Cameron made to hang on our Christmas tree.

This is one of my favorite Christmas decorations, I will save my very favorite for another day. I love this super cute Santa so much, plus Auntie Kathy made it which makes it all the more special!

On Friday we had Verizon Fios installed and dropped our DirecTV. We have been pretty happy except due to where our satellite is our signal gets really bad when its windy, and that has gotten pretty annoying. So since we have Fios for our internet and Verizon telephone we were able to get a really good bundle deal by adding the TV service, which will save a lot of money, plus we are excited about the whole home DVR we will have as well. Caleb's really happy with it, except the DVR that was installed downstairs doesn't work right, so today the new one was delivered! He had it installed within 5 minutes of getting home from work, and now everything works perfectly!

November 28

Definitely a chocolate ice cream kind of night. I love this ice cream maker, it makes such good ice cream and it works so fast!

November 27

Today while Nana & Grampy were over watching some football Cameron asked Grampy to take him to the playground. I got this cute picture when I popped over to watch him play for a little while.

November 26

Look at this cute little snow man rug I got for the bathroom downstairs.

November 25

Happy day after Thanksgiving! That means its time to get out the Christmas decorations. We got pretty much everything put out today before I got pooped out, just a couple things left to do tomorrow.

November 24

Happy Thanksgiving!
Somehow I forgot to take pictures of our meal, what was I thinking??? Thankfully I thought of it before we cut into our pies! There's apple on the left and pumpkin on the right. 

November 23

Today was all day big boy room transformation day number 2. With Cameron once again out of the house, we are really hoping to get it done today and have Cameron sleep here tonight.

 Today we had to go out and buy a mattress, get the bed assembled and complete all of the finishing touches. Here is Cameron's new big boy bed. I found it online and I really love it, look at all that storage underneath!

 From another angle, so you can see the shelves he has on his headboard. We're also really hoping he really likes his new Cars bedding. 

 The other thing we are really hoping he gets excited about is all these wall decals we have to put up. 

 The wall surrounding his bed is the Cars wall, these are all characters from Cars 2.

 On the other side of the room are his Mickey friends.

 We picked a lot of his toys out from his old room and downstairs to put on his new shelves.


 Even his art station moved upstairs. The only thing he uses with this so far and his magnetic letters, and Color Wonder markers that only work on special Color Wonder paper, so no worries there. 

 And, his beanbag to give him somewhere else to sit if he wants. There's a lot of floor room left in the middle of the room, which was really important to us, so he can have a lot of room to play.

 The reveal!

 Checking everything out...

 Noticing Mickey...

 Then straight up onto his new bed to check it out.

He really loves his car bed. Thankfully his new room was a huge hit, he absolutely loves it, and had a successful first nights sleep in his new bed.
