To Market, To Market

Cameron is all about writing things down on sticky notes now that she has learned to read and sound out words. Eric mentioned this morning that he would be heading to WalMart for groceries. So our little one, traveled back and forth from the kitchen to her desk to make an accurate list for Daddy on his shopping trip.

For those of you that don't read "5 year old", I will translate.

lunchable, ice cream, apple, milk, creamer, poptarts, bread, and popcorn chicken

Needless to say, Dad only made it back with the milk, creamer, and poptarts.

Gymnastics

Here are some new pics of our girl doing gymnastics. Sorry they are a little blurry as I took them with my phone.

Gentlemen Start Your Engines

Eric and I from time to time feel the need to feel a little high class. What better way to do that then to go to a NASCAR race? I mean, where else can you say that you were one of the elite patrons (meaning we had all are teeth). We met up with some family friends from San Angelo and had a great time tailgating before the race drinking cold beverages. The best part was the patriotic tribute to the Fort Hood soldiers and their families. At race time, a HUGE helicopter landed on the infield and the pacecar emerged from its back end. Kind of like it pooped a fancy car. We had awesome time and awesome seats and that wasn't just cause we had sleeves on our shirts and no mullet.

A Super Incredible Halloween

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a long haired girl in an oversized Incredibles costume. Yes, I know that the Incredibles had skin tight costumes that aided them in defeating the villian, but when you order a costume designed to fit a 4 year old and your child is a small 5 year old, this is the result. We thought she looked adorable anyway. We also got tons of mileage out of this costume. She wore it for her birthday, 2 days of gymnastics, her class party and then on Halloween. Best $25 I've ever spent. And based on it's size, I'm thinking it may still fit four years from now.

All smiles at SHS trunk or treat

Getting the good stuff to satisfy her sweet tooth.

"Enough pictures, Mom"

Loving on Cherry the Devil Dog (our neighbor's dog)

Training Goldie

Giving Goldie a belly rub. Not the most flattering picture of Goldie.


All smiles from our two long haired girls.

Cameron has loved training her new dog. She and Goldie have been working on "sit" and "stay". It is so funny to listen to Cameron get this stern voice and give her command. Then of course she rewards Goldie with tons of scratches in all her favorite places.

Happy 5th Birthday

Cameron celebrated her 5th birthday on October 11th with some of her most well dressed friends. Being the frugal family, we decided to get as much use out of her Halloween costume as possible by having a costume themed party. We had a house full of princesses, a bride, a witch, Captain Hook, Tinkerbell, a football player, a cheerleader, a golfer, and a few superheros. We had a great time decorating bracelets, playing pin the nose on the pumpkin and of course eating cake. Oh how the time has passed too quickly. Five years went by in the blink of an eye. Eric and I are so blessed by our sweet Cameron.
