A Cameron funny and Happy Easter!


First off, Cameron is such a funny kid. He is constantly saying the cutest things that make me and Brett laugh. Cameron is at the stage where girls are gross and he doesn't like kisses and he doesn't like the word love, because he thinks that it is a "girl" word. Anyway, the other day he said to Brett (with a disgusted look on his face) "Dad, when I grow up and get married, am I going to have to kiss my wife?"
So funny! Give him a few more years, and I am sure that he will feel differently.

We had a great Easter today! The boys were up at the crack of dawn ready to go and see what the Easter bunny brought them. In a matter of minutes, they found their baskets and were sampling some of the yummy candy that was in them (Nothing like a little chocolate at 7:00 am). Then it was off to church . After church we came home and Jed and Kathy were here. They came over to spend the afternoon with us. I had to fight the boys to get our annual Easter picture taken and then of course the ties and Sunday dress were quickly replaced with shorts and t-shirts. We had a really nice afternoon. We had a little BBQ and Texas sheet cake for dessert (which I have already had way to much of). Then it was off to the park. The weather here was absolutely gorgeous today 70+ degrees and sunny! Can't beat that! Happy Easter!



Someone's being sneaky! Caught Austin sneaking some candy from his brother's basket!
