Camden was so excited to go back to school!! He hard a hard time falling asleep last night. He woke up at 6:30 this morning ready to go :) With the little bit of extra time we had together this morning I asked him his fave questions:

Subject- Basketball

food - Corn Dogs

Sport- Basketball

Song- "I don't know, just pick one for me"

Movie- The Incredible Hulk

Best Book- "The Chronicles of Narnia, wait, no it's the book where the man made a perfect shape of Texas out of cheese. I can't remember what it is called" (First, Cam has never read the Chronicles of Narnia and Second, WHAT!!)

Awesome Activity: Sports ( I never would've guessed :)

His Hero: Dad (really? Why not Mom? Oh well, maybe Cooper will be my saving grace)

Something people might not know about me is that I like Baseball

Cam's autobiography- I love swimming. My middle name is Joseph. I like to play sports. I like Baseball and Football.

I have been so excited for him to go back to school, but I miss him already!

Oh! Camden was watching cartoons this morning and when I got back from my run he was so excited to tell me that "Michael Phelps got the Rosetta Stone so you should get it" I was so confused

Riley's Favorite Things

Riley is all ready for school! She can't wait! I am in denial that I am old enough to have a third grader. I can't believe this summer has gone away so fast! Monday is the big day and Riley's teacher Mrs. Roberts asked her to fill out a poster "All About Riley." I thought it was so cute so I will share it with you!!

Her favorite subject is Art

Her favorite food is Ice Cream

Her favorite sport is Swimming ( she's loved watching Michael Phelps)

Her favorite song is "All These Things That I've Done" by The Killers

Her favorite movie is "IronMan"-(she hasn't seen it yet, we were goin today but b/c of traffic we were late so we saw The Hulk, I guess she thought she would love it)

Her awesome activity is swimming

Her favorite book is Fudgeamania by Judy Blume

The one person who inspires her is her DAD (what am I- chopped liver)

Something people might not know about her is that she is a very good swimmer

In her mini-autobiography she wrote " I love to swim. I have lots of friends. One thing you probably don't know is my middle name is Faith."

So there you have it!! It was fun seeing what she wrote about herself. So I decided I would ask my boys these same questions to see what they would say. I will keep you posted!

The Family Reunion

We had so much fun in Colorado this past week. My sister Virginia, my bro Eric, and I all went to my sister Kirsten's in Denver, Colorado (you should hear Cooper say Denver, Colorado--it is so cute) I counted it all up and I believe there were 18 cousins that all got to play together. A first in a long time. My family is so spread out that it is very rare to see each other. We were still missing my brothers Josh, Seth, and Jared. My kids had a great time!! Although we had a lot of fun we had quite the scare!! If you can see in the picture above of Camden he has a lump on his neck under his ear. We took him to an instacare and they have him antibiotics and said to see the dr when we get home right away. His doc didn't know what was going on and wanted to rule out all the bad things first. So-- we spent our whole day up at Primary Children's hospital testing Camden for cancer. Pretty scary but all tests were negative. The doc said he looks real healthy. He gave him a stronger antibiotic to get rid of the swollen lymph node. This whole thing made me do a lot of thinking. What would I do if I lost one of these little guys? I don't know what I would do. I am so thankful to have them in my life. It is amazing how these kids have taught me so much. I have become a better person b/c of them. I wouldn't change anything!! I love ya Cam and am so, so, so glad you are healthy!
