Rainy day.

Today was pretty much a wash out. I went to keep Alaina and Daniel when Kimberli went to work. We played up in the playroom. It wasn't too exciting. I took some pictures just to keep record. Alaina took the one with Me holding Daniel. She did a great job for a 3 year old!

Tuesday

Well, today was another Cameon day. I go to babysit for Alaina & Daniel on Tuesdays because it is my day off and Kimberli works. I get there at about 2 and Cameron gets dropped off at about 3. It was another beautiful day! Nothing like August usually is. We played outside most of the after noon. Kim and Matt just had the huge tree between their house and Dewey's house cut down so that is the wood pile that Alaina is sitting on in one of these pictures. After ridding bikes for a while mamaw came down to see us. She is in the picture of the kids playing on the swing. We didn't get any of Daniel today because he was taking his nap the entire time.

Freedom Park

Today we went to Freedom Park. That is the new huge Million dollar park behind Parkside school. Kimberli and I went for our exercise and took Alaina and Daniel and as we got up by the park Alaina knew where we were and asked to go there. It is a very nice park! The base is made of recycled tires so it's rubbery. It kind of bounces when you walk on it. Of course we found out the hard way it is also VERY hot! I got down on my knees to play on the monkey bars with Alaina and burnt my knees and then Kimberli not thinking stood Daniel up with bare feet. He started crying so she picked him up pretty quickly. His little feet were red! It was a beautiful day!

Granny and Pap take daddy's visitation. (Because he is gone to the Navy)

This weekend was a Cameron weekend. Granny and Pap get to have him everyother weekend because daddy can't right now (he's still in Great Lakes). We didn't do much, but we did get him a new t-shirt. It is much more fun to have him on the weekends that Alaina isn't gone with her daddy but this weekend she was at Holiday World with him. We still wore Cameron out! I have the pictures to show not only his new shirt but him passed out on my living room couch in it too. Hopefully we can have all 3 grandchildren out on his next weekend to play in the pools we got them.

Lazy days of Summer

Last Friday Granny and Mommy took Daniel for a 5 mile walk.

Granny is trying to lose more weight and Mommy just wanted to talk so away we went. After the long tiring walk baby Daniel was HOT! He decided to play naked in his back yard pool. He loved it!

Pap goes to the park.

Last Thursday evening Pap took Cameron and Alaina to the park. A picture of both on the slide.

Graduation!!!!

Friday, July 25, 2008 was the ceremony. We drove to Great Lakes on Thursday night. It took us 7 house to get there.
Cameron went with us and he was pretty good on the long trip.
The ceremony was pretty neat. Nathan looked 10 years younger because he had lost 38 lbs. We walked around after graduation and then went back to the hotel to wait for him to move over to the base. He will be staying in Great Lakes for his "A" school.
He got everything moved and was able to join us for dinner at the hotel at about 6. My mom and dad had gone over too so they joined us. After dinner he went back to the base and we went back to the hotel.
The next morning Eddie picked him up from the base and brought him back to the hotel for breakfast. Mamaw and papaw joined us and then headed home. We drove around seeing the city, then had lunch at Olive Garden. Cameron was wanting nothing more than to play at a park so we drove around some more and tryed to find one for him. All of the driving put him fast asleep for a couple of hours. We ended up going back to the base to look around and see what all was there. We not only found a playground but also a beautiful beach on the lake! We went out and walked around in the water for a short while and then took Cameron back to the playground to play. He had a great time until he was stung by a bee. That pretty much ended our stay. We took Nathan back to his dorm and headed home. The trip home was only about 5 hours. Nathan is now a realy sailor! I will post some pictures.
