Wow! That is all I can say. Today has been an exceptionally hard day. Camden has fought me every step of the way, and as much as I will love his strong willed-'ness' when he is an adult, I don't necessarily love it now. He is at such a challenging age. He wants to assert himself, but doesn't want to listen to anything that Mom has to say. When Dad comes home, it's a different story. I literally had to chase him down the sidewalk this evening so he wouldn't get run over by a car. I love that he plays chase with his friends, but I DO NOT want to play chase with him down the road...not cool.
On another note, I have been trying to remember how lucky I am that I get to be home with my babies everyday. I know that so many moms want to be in my shoes, but let me tell you, it is not easy. Every day is a struggle. At the end of the day though, I do thank, God, for blessing me with my beautiful, healthy babies and for the lifestyle that we have.
Some awesome things that my boys are up to these days:
1.) Camden is getting better and better everyday at talking in sentences. He loves to use them...A LOT. Steven and I were joking this morning about how he will repeat himself several times until you acknowledge what he says. Just like his momma...I hate to be ignored! ;)
2.) Cooper is sooooo close to crawling. Last night he actually did the exact motion that he should have but backwards, so I know it will be here soon. The only bad thing is that I will then be looking for both he and his brother. The good thing is that he will be able to TRY and get away from his big brother. Bless his heart...
3.) Camden is so cute. Every time we pass Chipotle, he screams, "Mommy look, poltle!!" What can I say, the boy loves Chipotle.
4.) Cooper is now 8 months old and learning about the world around him. He loves to look up as far as possible and see everything going on outside of his car seat. He is so ready for a big boy seat, just like his big brother!
Even though I have a lot of crazy things going on in my life, every day holds something new and even when annoying, its still exciting.
Until next time,

August loves!
This month brings great joy to me for many reasons. None of those reasons would include the weather, because to be really honest it is just too hot. No matter where you are in the country, you most likely agree with me, unless your one of those people who love the heat...in which case, your crazy! ;)
The main reason I love this month is because it is the month of mine and my husbands anniversary! This year marks 4 years that we have been married. I once read that marriage means you get to have a sleepover with your best friend every night for the rest of your life. I absolutely agree! I LOVE being married and especially LOVE who God picked for me!
The second reason this August is so special to me, is that in just a few short days, I will be a proud auntie to yet another beautiful baby girl! It brings so much joy to me knowing that I will get to meet sweet Macy in a couple of weeks! I couldn't be happier for my sister and brother-in-law! With that being said, COME ON MACY!!
The next, and final reason is that I get to see my very best friend, Danna, next week! Moving away has been hard, but moving away from her, was even harder. We don't get to see each other much, so when we do, we usually spend our time watching pee-in-your-pants hilarious movies and eating cheesecake, and also just talking and laughing about all of the crazy things that have happened since the last time we saw each other! This trip is especially great because she is traveling to Texas to see ME! That means, yes this is selfish, but I get her all to myself! I know that seems weird, but we used to spend everyday together when we were growing up, so being married and living in Texas was a HUGE adjustment...for both of us! If she were reading this, she would totally agree!
Even though I don't necessarily like the heat, I do love to be in the pool, and so do my little ones. Both of them love to be outside and that is just about the only place you can be when its 100 degrees out. So we will all be a little sad when summer ends, however, we are looking forward to this fall and where God will continue to lead our family!
Have fun!
