What We've Been Doing
It's been a long time since I have posted. Between having company two weekends in a row, doing all the family's taxes, getting fired from my property management job, and Tyler being busy with finals coming up, I haven't had much time. So here's what we've been doing, along with some cute stories.
Heidi, Mom, and Amy came to visit us here in the land of Utah for their Spring Breaks. Here we are in the Church Museum of Art having a look at Heidi's painting. She's so famous! It was fun, as always, to have them here. Cam enjoyed the pleasure of having his sleep nurse (Heidi) around again, although he proved harder to be lulled to sleep than when he was a newborn!
Mom got a nice Hotel room for them three and we all enjoyed being able to swim in the bath-water-warm pool and nice hot tub. Why don't you just check out how huge Paige's diaper is. So nice!
We also had the pleasure of having Tyler's mom come visit us in a last minute decision of a trip, so that was fun--her brother was getting surgery on his toe in Salt Lake. So she got to spend lots of time with Cameron like she wanted to do, as Granny's do, at his blessing but there were too many people around. So she enjoyed having him all to herself. We sure do love having family come around to see us!
Now for cute things that have happened with Cameron, a.k.a. the highlights of my every day life. Here is daddy and Cam looking at ants swarm a pile of corn meal we put on the floor. Apparently our basement has ants and I heard that corn meal will kill them since they can't digest it. I am pretty sure I did notice a decrease in ants, although I believe they wised up to the ploy as they no longer visited the pile after this first day.
Paige and Cameron continue to become good friends as she is unfailingly sweet with him. Here she is trying to share her toy laptop with him. We will sure miss having her around when the McCubbins clan take off to Illinois.
One evening, I was in not so great a mood. Tyler had been very busy all week and I felt like a single mother. Cameron had grown his nails and I kept not being able to cut them--we all know what a challenge that can be--and he kept scratching me on accident. I pouted and told Tyler he needed to have socks put on his hands so he would stop with the scratching. So Tyler, always knowing how to make me happy again, retrieved some of his own socks and put them on Cam's whole arms! It was very funny and I felt in a better mood the rest of the evening.

Mindy what happened with your job? Are you guys moving soon then? Is everything okay?
Look at that cute baby's ROUND HEAD!! So sweet. I like that picture of the boys looking at the ants. (:
I got a good laugh at those big socks on his arms. (: Funny Tyler. I'm sorry you felt so "single mother" ish. It's not fun is it? I'm so happy my sweety is done with school now. (:
What a great entry covering so many fun events...big (like a trip to Salt Lake) and little, like...little as an ant! So Cute!!
What a fun photo of us in the pool. I love that Paige was thrilled with swimming. What a fun event. That is great that Debbie got to come and love up on that baby. It is nice when not so many people are there.
Cam has a great life. What a blessing that he was born to you guys: a Daddy who will share the wonders of the world with him: National Geographic articles, ants in their death throes...(just kidding) When I was your age we just poured salt on snails.
Love that picture of Cam and Paige. What a loss for you guys that they are moving. Sad for you!!! :(
I love the man size sox on that darling little guy. Good ol' Ty, cheering everybody up!
WaHA! Those socks! The pix is cute enough with just his little happy face, and the socks to the armpits are hilarious.
Busy girl with fam all the time, all over the place!
i love that sock picture too!!! he is so happy, he loves having socks on his arms!!
Good blog coverage - had fun visiting that's for sure! And all I have to say is, Die you stupid Ants DIE! I'm glad you are able to move to a new place and not be exploited.
That Cam has really strong stiff legs!
