Try and Try again!

So we didn't even have to wait a year. We had another birthday party for Cameron and this time with trick candles. It took him 2 tries (but still from far away) to blow them out this time. What a set of lungs he has.

30 Years and still climbing that hill.

I can't believe that we are old enought to be having a 30 year old birthday party. My attempt and throwing my husband a big suprise party failed miserably. The weather made it so that we couldn't meet and play at the park any more so I was sure that he would catch on when I started doing a deep cleaning of the house. But when the first guest showed up he was still surprised. I think he still enjoyed the party surrounded by those he loves. These are the only pictures he would let me take.

I wish you could see the flame on the candle in this picture but I had to be that far away to get both him and the cake in the picture. He is one of the only people I know that can blow out his candles from that far away (on the first try). I want to see if he can do 31 individual candles from that far away next year. =)

Oh, and here are the girls...it's been a while since I've done a post and even though it may not seem like they have grown much to some of you, both of my babies are looking so grown up to me these days.

We are ready for spring!

Now that we have a dog...I have a great excuse to get Cameron to go on walks with me. =) It was even his idea this time. LoL! Erica also got a bike for her birthday a few weeks ago, so we all took a trip around the block.

Erica got the hang of riding her bike very quickly and it looks like it's about time to take the training wheels off of Sams bike. It amazes me how quickly they seem to be growing up sometimes!

Suprise!

We have just increased the size of our family by 2! First we agreed to go and get a guinea pig for our girls. Sam named him Bugsy. They like to chase him around under the table.

Then about a week later Cameon suprised us all with Scout. He is a beautiful Golden retriever that is about six months old. He is very good tempered and even though I've never been much of a pet person I can't help but love this dog. The girls and Cameron are all very excited to have him around too. Welcome to the family Scout!

Improvements...sort of.

Erica has improved upon her dance outfit! It is so adorable I couldn't help but post this for you all to enjoy!

I do promise to dress her better when we go to real dance lessons in the spring. =) You just have to love her creativity.

Dancing in style!

So it looks like Erica is ready to be enrolled in dance classes with her older sister this year. A few days ago she was in her room and created this beautiful dance outfit all by herself. =) Oh and once it is on she won't take it off.

Her newest move is to stick out her foot and then she points and flexes it. Then she'll do it double time. It is hilarious.
