We're Guitar Heroes!!!

We went to the Webster's house last night for some pizza, fun, and a little Guitar Hero! It was so fun! Darrick was amazing at it, and Teri was good too, of course. Cameron picked it up pretty quickly and I was definitely a beginner! We had a blast!We had the boys play together and then the girls played together. Teri and I probably looked better than we sounded, but it was fun!
The kids were so good, and played well together the whole time. We're not sure what they were doing in this picture, but they were totally having a blast together!
Campbell was loving all of Andrew's toys. Anything new, right?!! Andrew was such a good baby and practically slept the whole time we were there, so he's not pictured, darn it!
Darrick is SO GOOD that he can play on his back! I have to be right up next to the TV to get the notes right! Thanks, Darrick and Teri, for a fun night!!

Quick update on Jace

We went to the ENT doctor today for a hearing test / ear check-up and it turns out he only has a minor hearing problem... his right ear has a negative pressure build-up from an ear infection which is causing some pain and a little bit of a hearing problem, and his left ear is full of fluid which is causing slightly worse hearing loss, but both will be cleared up and things will get back to normal! Woot! We go in for a recheck in 3 weeks to just make sure things have cleared up nicely. Whew! That's a relief!

Cub Scouts and Elijah Woods


I'm so proud of Cameron! He's such a good cub scout leader! The Webelos had a Pine Wood Derby this past week and it was so fun! Cameron really enjoys this aspect of scouting! Sorry the pictures are so dark, the lighting in the Cultural Hall is so awful for picture taking!
He also had a boy earn his Arrow of Light so Cameron got to present his award as well. I guess the AL is comparable to getting your Eagle as a Boy Scout, so it's pretty impressive! Cameron was really proud of him.

Here is Cameron with all the little cub scouts. They all made awesome racecars and we had fun watching all the competition. Jace can't wait till he gets to make his own Derby car someday. He was talking about lightning bolts and guns and flags, too cute!

Here is Jace watching Elijah Woods do the Puppet Master on Yo Gabba Gabba's Dancy Dance Segment. We just love that show!!

Who knows why we like it so much, but we totally do!! Enjoy! We're thinking maybe this year we'll be YGG monsters for Halloween! Watch for us! It all depends if we can get costumes done that bring justice to how cool the YGG monsters actually are! Can you tell how much we love them?!!

A few new Projects and an Update

I'm working on a few new things that I hope to have done before month's end.  Curtains for the bookshelf and some new pictures for the dining room.  Then, there are always the ongoing and never-ending projects; blankets, hairbows, scrapbooking and cardmaking... I've got way too many things on my plate!  Why am I always picking up new hobbies?
My kids are doing great!  Jace is loving playing outdoors lately.  We've really had awesome weather!  He's been practicing riding his Christmas scooter and he's getting pretty good.  He's also getting a nice tan like his Mom!!  Here are some of the funny things he's said this week (Keep in mind it was just Easter):  Mom, I have the BIGGEST mouth ever!  /  Mom, see how the chocolate lives inside the candy?  It lives INSIDE!  /  Even if she wants it, we can't give Campbell any candy!!  None!  What a funny kid!  He loved having Cameron home for a week and they played all day and all night long it seems.  They are so cute together and always call each other their best friend!  Aww!!
Campbell is really working hard to crawl!  She's so close, but just not quite strong enough yet!  It's so fun to watch her try, and she gets so excited when she gets up, but at the same time I'm loving this stage, I'm wishing she'd stay a baby (Where has all the time gone?)  Camper also loves to pull herself up on just about everything! Cute!  She's really into all of Jace's toys, his cars and dino's and she wants to be a big part of the action.  Don't dare leave her on the ground at dinner time, she'll definitely have a fit!  What a feisty little 7 month old we've got!  I LOVE IT!!  BOTH my kids are getting big and eating well... Jace gained 2 pounds in about 2 weeks!  Campbell is eating just about whatever we are eating!  Life is good, I can't complain!  I love my family!

Easter

Here are two little sweethearts! McKay and Campbell! Chrissy and I have an awesome plan to hook them up and get them hitched one day! We had Easter dinner with some friends and our kiddies got to play together beforehand!
Here's the CUTEST pic of little McKay! I just love to squeeze and love him! He's definitely a happy-go-lucky person! I can't wait till Camper and Kay can actually go on a real date!
Campbell was way into her new toys! The Easter Bunny did a super good job this year!
Jace and Campbell had fun doing the Easter Egg Hunt thing, but were mostly interested in the toys, not the eggs. Jace DID like opening the eggs though to eat the treats!! We have a fun family tradition of wrapping the candy in foil... I think because we were so poor when we were little and couldn't afford the plastic eggs, anyway, it's a tradition I'll pass on! I *LOVED* how they would sparkle in the sun down in California when I was little! HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!
