Big Sister

Camryn really is a great big sister: she's helpful, sweet, and looks out for her baby brother. And sure, she has her moments, but she's not even 3 1/2 yet! I have to remind myself that a lot because she talks so much and has so many big ideas that she seems older, or at least she does to me.

This morning I asked her to help me get him ready - mostly just to keep them busy so that I could have two minutes to brush my hair before work - and she tells him, "Bubba - sit on your bottom." And, it takes him a minute, but he does. Then she tells him what she is doing and how to do it and why and I really should have recorded it because it was too cute. I'll have to ask her to help again and try to get it on film. So sweet.

I did get a picture of it though:

Winterfest 2012

When Winterfest rolled around this year, we wanted to take the kids since we've never been and
Camryn always has such a good time. So, we all met up at the festivities and boy, was it crazy! It was a lot of fun though.

Camryn wanted to get her face painted and of all the face paintings, she picked the A&M... we were very proud Aggies. :)

On a little ride with Grandma Linda:
Cody just wanted to run - did not want to be held or stand in line at all!
Camryn loved this ride:
And the pretty girl on the carousel:
After all of the fun, and while Cody napped, Camryn and Kevin watched a movie, each holding princesses (the things Daddies do for their daughters). One of them appears to be a little more tired than the other:

Photo Books, by Year

Inspired by another mom, I have been wanting to complete photo books for each year, for each baby. I have recently completed three books for Camryn - 2008, 2009 and 2010. I am now working on Cody's 2010 book. I hope to finish their 2011 books in January - want to be sure I get all the pictures from the holidays in the book!

I have LOVED doing this. I used Shutterfly and really love their program. It took some time (maybe 4 hours per book, to get it just right), but I cannot wait to see the finished product -- should arrive any day. In the mean time, I thought I'd also share the books here. Funny how I can look through them over and over again - especially Monkey's books - can't believe how fast the time flies.
