Happy 2nd Birthday Camden Grace!

Today was Camden's 2nd birthday. Mommy and Daddy took the day off to celebrate Camden's special day. We started the morning by opening her presents.


Daddy picked out a t-ball set for Camden and she loves it.

After presents we took her to get her 2-year pictures taken. She was full of smiles for the photographer. Then we stopped at Old Chicago for lunch. Camden's favorite part was the chocolate chip cookies that our waitress brought to us. She had chocolate everywhere!


After a quick nap, we too Camden to the zoo. We gave her several options of things to do this afternoon, but all she wanted was to go back to the zoo. So we spent the afternoon at the zoo again! This time we made it there just in time to feed the giraffes. Camden thought that was great fun.


And of course it wouldn't be a day at the zoo if we didn't stop and feed the fish.


And to show you how disgusting the fish are, I took a picture of them!

Looking back at Camden's past two years, it's amazing how much she has grown and changed. She's definetely not our baby any more!

Splish Splash it's Camden's 2nd Birthday Bash!

We had Camden's 2nd birthday party this weekend. What a fun time!
Camden has been asking mommy to paint her toenails for a long time now. Mommy keeps telling her than when she turns two she can have her toenails painted. What better time to do it than in preparation for her 2nd birthday party. Here she is getting her toenails painted for the very first time!
We got the pool, sprinkler and slip-n-slide all out for the big bash. The kids had a great time playing in the water and we had perfect weatheri for a pool party!
Camden got spoiled with lots of presents!
She had so much fun playing with all of the new toys. Check out this apron, chef's hat and tea set. We've already had several tea parties and I have a feeling there are plenty more to come!

4th of July Dessert

I know I'm about 3 weeks late posting pictures of the 4th of July...but better late than never, right? The only picutres I took over the 4th is of Camden and Daddy making a Berry Trifle. Here are the pictures. Camden did more eating that cooking during the process though!



Camden and Daddy's masterpiece! It was delicious!

The Zoo

We took Camden to the zoo this past weekend. We had perfect weather for the zoo - 70 degrees and overcast! Amazing for July!! I was especially appreciative of that being so pregnant! When we first got to the zoo Camden wasn't quite sure what to think. She clung to mommy and daddy for the first 15 minutes. But then she found THE FISH! Her favorite part of the entire zoo trip! We spent a very long time (and several quarters) feeding the giant pond of koi fish. There were so many fish in there that they were climbing on top of each other to try to get the food. Mommy and Daddy thought they were disgusting! But Camen loved them!

She's showing how much she loves them by flashing us her new smile. I sure hope she finds a new smile before her 2-year pictures next week! Unfortunately this is the smile we've gotten for the past few weeks whenever we ask her to smile!

The Blank Park Zoo also has a great playground. Camden had fun going down the slides!


Another highlight of the trip was riding the train. Here's a picture of her and daddy in line for the train.
