A hot one!

Today was HOT! I had told Kimberli to bring Alaina and Daniel to my house so that I could babysit because she had to work all day at the hospital. She got there at about 7:30 and I kept them at my house till around 3:00. At 3:00 we went into her house because Shannon was dropping Cameron off there for me then.

We stayed in all day and played because of the heat. Alaina and I pretended to buy train tickets and take a trip to go visit Uncle Nathan in Great Lakes. I don't normally work on Tuesdays but they had ask me to today so I came into work at 4:30. Kim got home by then and mamaw took Cameron to her house and played while they waited for Pap to come and pick him up. Pap took Cameron to Freedom Field to play before taking him home. Here are some pictures of our day.

Ed & Matt put up a fence.

Well, not a real exciting story but fact. Matt & Kim decided to put a fence down the one side of their house that runs up against the new neighbors with the scary dog. Eddie and Matt have been setting posts for a week or so and today they are putting up the fence. It looks very nice. It is a hot day though so I am sure they will be happy to be done soon. Here is the picture.

Matt's new room

Matt moved out of his apartment and into his new room with his friends. He has been sleeping in a friends room waiting for the room to be finished. Today he was given the go ahead and Eddie took over his bed and a few things from home. I had to work so they sent me a couple of pictures. Here they are. I feel much better after seeing it. It appears very nice and has a huge window so that if need arrises he can get out.

North v East Football game.

Tonight is the North v East football game. I am working. Matt keeps the stats for the radio broadcast in which his father is a commentator. Kimberli went to the game and took the kids. She has sent me a couple of pictures with her phone so I thought I would post them for all to see.

Cameron learns to ride a trike!

Again, yesterday was Tuesday. I had Cameron. We were at aunt Kim's. Alaina and Cameon mostly played in the sandbox while Daniel took a nap. At one point though, the decided to ride bikes.

Usually this consists of Alaina riding and Cameron getting on and pushing with his feet. Today however after MTHS. of Nathan working with him every Tuesday, he decided he would do it right!

We were all very proud! We even sent a video to daddy in the Navy. Now all he can talk about is getting a horn like Alaina's only blue.

Nothin much.

Today we didn't do much at all. I wanted to post a couple of pictures I took while visiting Kimberli, Alaina, and Daniel.

The one thing special today was that after I came to work, Alaina got a new hair cut!! I have a picture of her on here with the new style! She looks adorable! She is just growing up too fast!

A day with daddy!

Yesterday 8-23-08 we took Cameron to Great Lakes to visit daddy. Cameron's mommy dropped him of at our house at 5:30 a.m. and we left the house at 6:00. We planned to go on Saturday and stay till Sunday morning. The plans changed when the hotel we had gotten a room in wasn't what we wanted. The trip over went as planned. We got there at about 11:30 our time (it's one hour earlier there). We went to the base and Cameron yelled..."that's the Navy, that's where my daddy lives"! He was very anxious to see him. We picked up Nathan and drop to Chicago to meet a couple of Nathan's friends that were also going to Chicago for the day. The day didn't work out as planned. We went to eat lunch and then have ice cream, then off to the Shedd Aquarium. We didn't get into the aquarium because lines were a couple of hours long so we looked at boats and headed to the Sears Tower. Nathan, Pap and Cameron went up to the top while Matthew and I stayed down and waited. It took longer than planned so we had to rush back to the car to get Nathan's stuff and then get him to his 5:45 train. It seemed to fly by. Way to quickly! It was fun though and we all got to see eachother if only for a few short hours. I took some pictures with my phone to post on here. We can't wait to see daddy again and hope he will get to come home for the next visit in about 3 weeks!
