Here are some pics of the events that I have neglected to post until now. I have finally downloaded pictures and you are getting them all at once.
Camden the Gardner
Camden and his Gigi have been planting this spring. She even took him to the store to pick out his own plant and pot, which he announced to everyone at the store what he was doing. These are pics of them planting it. Notice the gloves and hat that he insisted on wearing like his Gigi.

Gigi and Cam planting

Cam watering (notice the tongue)
Michael’s Birthday
Michael’s birthday was on May 30th and this year Camden helped make the cake and insisted on party hats. Michael got Guitar Hero for his birthday which is another reason for the tardy posts. Most of our post bedtime time has been spent playing gigs. A lot of fun!!!!

making daddy's cake

Happy Birthday, Daddy!
Swimming
We have finally gotten Gigi’s pool swimmable and these are various shots of us. Camden is really becoming a fish and he likes to “rescue” people. He even rescued GiGi and pulled her from one end of the pool to the other. Jackson on the other hand is a more passive floater.

Ready for duty

Seth!

Yesterday was Jackson’s 1st Birthday!!! I cannot believe that he is already a year old. This past year has flown by even though I have been privileged to get to spend it at home with the boys.

Happy Birthday to you...
Jackson is changing and growing every day. Soon he will be chasing Cam around everywhere and annoying him more than he is already. Right now he is really getting the hang of the commando crawl and can get to his brother’s toys really fast. He is working on his 8th tooth. He has started using his sippy cup a lot more and I think that he is actually going to drink milk (Camden gags when he drinks it). Jax can mimic Mama and Dada and sometimes even decides to chatter. He really gets going when Cam talks to him and they try to see who can scream the loudest. He is a thoughtful and quiet child most of the time though. He watches everything around him, but doesn’t comment too much. It will be fun to see how this changes (or doesn’t) as he gets older.
His party was fun. He had his cousins and aunts and uncles and Gigi all come. Unfortunately PawPaw and MawMaw weren’t able to come b/c of illness. He loved his gifts and his puppy from his Cousin Michelle was a hit. His daddy made him an awesome train table that his GiGi is going to embellish with rivers and trees and animals etc on top.

Michael's workmanship
We all had fun and the chocolate cupcakes and homemade ice cream were a hit!

Yummy

Balloons, hmmm
