This Is See-we-us!

If you have young children, you know how to pronounce the title of my blog. If not, it is off of The Wonder Pets cartoon. Jameson is loving some Wonder Pets right now. We watch it every morning going to daycare. The same video....over and over and over. I know every song they sing. Anyway, Ming Ming always says, "this is serious". All day long I sing that song, "the phone, the phone is ringing......there's an animal in trouble......well you know how it goes. If something ever goes wrong, I say to myself, "this is serious". It consumes me! I don't really know why I just explained all of that to you, but I felt the need. Of course, now I am singing the song again.

Anyway, things are good. Jameson is so fun right now. He throws his little 2 year old fits, but he's not really that bad. Hopefully, he won't be too terrible. He can talk so well now and I pretty much know everything he wants when he asks. He has very good manners too and I am most proud of that. He says "tank too" and "pease", he even says, "I love loo momma". That melts my heart every time. He is a sweet boy! he still doesn't want a baby though. We ask him if he wants a baby brother or sister and he still says, "no".  Potty training is still in the works, but not going so well. I don't want to push him if he is not ready though. He went to his first foot ball game this weekend and loved it. He keeps asking if we can go back. He grows and changes every day. He is an amazing little boy.

My pregnancy is going well. I have been very nauseated the whole time. I go a few days and will be fine, and then it hits me and sticks around for several days. I have also been having terrible headaches. I had a migraine last week at work. Not fun, but I know it is all worth it. I am almost 12 weeks and can't believe it.  When I was pregnant with Jameson, I thought my first trimester would never end. This time I haven't had time to focus on being pregnant. I haven't even looked at baby items. With Jameson, I think I had the crib picked out by this time. Funny how different things can be. I am still so excited to see this new baby. I can't wait to see what it is. I go for a check up on Sat. and can't wait to hear that every thing is still ok.

Work is horribly busy and I never have time for anything during the day. I think that is why I have been having so many headaches. I wish we had lots and lots of money so I could just stay at home.  Maybe God will open up that door for me one day! Enough rambling.......here are some really cute pics of my sweet boy.

We had concrete poured a few weeks ago and Rusty has been digging and planting grass. Jameson thought he had to help, so he is shoveling the dirt.

Don't you just wish you could run naked through the sprinklers some times. I think it would be such a great release! :)

Pouting because he was tired of me chasing him around with the camera!

Rusty is an Auburn fan and I am an Alabama fan. My mom bought him an Alabama jersey and he looks so cute in it. Rusty said it made him sick to take the picture. J has an Auburn jersey too, but I can't seem to find it....hmmmmmm.....must have misplaced it somewhere! ;)

Keep reading...I promise I will blog.

Hugs, Kisses, and Baby Kicks

You'll never guess.......

I'm Pregnant!!! 

I am 10 weeks(according to the doctor) and 9 weeks (according to the sonagram). The doctor kept my due date at 10 weeks.....but i don't want to get my hopes up. I am due April 3rd (doctor) and April  9 (sonagram). It is all very confusing. The doctor said it didn't matter because there were so few days between the two dates. I say a week makes a difference....but who am I ????? We are very excited and Jameson keeps telling us he DOESN'T want a baby. Boy does he have a surprise coming!! We ask him, "Jameson, do you want a baby brother or sister?" His response, "No". 

I have been feeling pretty good. I have been pretty nauseated this time around. I was never sick with Jameson, so it is something to get used to. As long as I don't lose my cookies, I am good! I have started a new love affair with saltine crackers and sprite. They are my best friends right now.

Keep us in your prayers. I know my life is really about to change again, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I am so glad I have a blog family to share the news with.

Until next time,
Hugs, Kisses, and Saltines

Here is my little bean. The head is the big blob toward the bottom. Isn't he or she already so cute!

We've been to the beach

Well, we took our last beach trip of the year. Last Sunday we left for Gulf Shores. Rusty has a Safety Conference every year at this time in Gulf Shores, so me and J always get to tag along. We had lots of fun and ate lots of good food. Jameson was so cute. He loved the beach and pool and shockingly, the room. I figured we would be outside from sun up to sun down, but I was wrong. J really liked sitting out on the balcony. He would take his trucks out and sit and play. It really suprised me. Once we did hit the beach, it was over. He was running in every direction. It was really fun to watch and see how big he has gotten. It really makes me sad. We took lots of pictures and in some of them he looks so grown up. I love my baby! Here are the pics from the trip.

Ready for the beach

Waving at the boat coming by

The only physical thing we have in common...hair color!

So fun

Cool Dude..doesn't he look so tall and big!

Never looks for mommy......

but always smiles for daddy! (he was just smiling at me)

Lets think about this for a second.

My Sweet Boy

So I am a horrible mother.....My first born turned 2 two weeks ago and I am just getting around to blogging about it. So here it goes.

Jameson turned 2 on Aug. 5. He is so amazing and brings so much joy to my life every day. Two years have flown by. I know I will blink and he will be starting school. He is your typical 2 year old boy. He runs, screams, demands and throws fits. He is also sweet, loving, happy, and will make you smile on any given day....I don't care who you are. He can speak in sentences now and can pretty much get across to me what he wants. We have started potty training (going pretty good) and he has been transitioned to a "big boy bed" to which he says "Hey big bed" everytime we walk into his room now. We had a birthday party a few weeks ago. It was a truck theme because we live and breathe trucks, bulldozers, and tractors. He had a blast. I would love to show you some pictures, but to my disgust, I lost the memory care out of my camera and all of his picture were on there. I also have no pictures of his new room. You remember my last post where I explained that my brain no longer works.....well, this is a perfect example. I have misplaced the memory card to the camera . We have turned our house upside down and had no luck. So, you will just have to imagine how wonderful and cute the party was.

I could go on and on about how amazing God has made my child, but you would get tired of reading. Just trust me, he is the most adorable, sweetest thing you have ever met. I am so thankful that I have him in my life. I don't know what I would do or be without him. He is truly my little blessing.

Jameson,
You are my sweet boy and you know that. Even though you still don't sleep through the night, and you demand so much of mommy's time and energy, and you always want mommy to "seat" when she is very busy cooking supper, I still love you more than life itself. You will always be my angel baby....even if you do continue to wake up every night until you are 20. :)I love you so much Jameson. Thank you for making me so happy and for loving me.

Love,
Mama

Here is a video when J is about 1. He has changed so much!

Oh isn't he so cute!!!!! I was dopping cherios on a paper plate in the floor and Lilly was eating them. He thought it was so funny. Don't you just love to hear a baby laugh. (You will have to pause the music at at the bottom)

I have no idea

Do you ever feel like life is chewing you up and spitting you back out over and over again? That is me right now! I feel like I am spinning in circles and I keep spinning and spinning and spinning and gaining no ground. Sometimes I stop and think, "self, when will I ever spring back". I know I am not the only one who thinks this way, but it just gets old, you know what I mean?

"I have no idea" is one of my most used phrases right now. The ONE and ONLY thing I hate about motherhood is my lack of thinking skills. It's like once J was born and laid on my tummy, the doctor said, "ok Candice here  is your brain and I am about to throw it in the garbage." I can't remember anything and I find it very hard sometimes to multitask. I misplace things, forget memories pre-baby, and can't focus for long periods of time (I sound like a commercial for bad side effects to a certain drug) I am completely blown away that I can't remember things. My brain is working in over time. I wish I could write down all the things that pass through my mind in 10 seconds. It's amazing. Of course, every single one of those thoughts are concerning Jameson....and Rusty.....but mostly Jameson. :) Rusty can take care of himself.

I say all of this just to let  you know why my blog has slowed down. I don't have time and my life is running in circles and I am sure you don't want to hear about the latest poop, pee, or snot bubble! Ha. However, I do LOVE  my life and wouldn't have my brain back for anything.  Well, maybe just a little bit of it.

J is still battling with asthma and allergies. That is an endless cycle in itself. He has been sick all summer. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I feel much better now. Anyway sickness=no sleep. No sleep=cranky tired mommy. Cranky tired mommy=bad mommy! Do you see how this is not good.

So, J, do you think you could start sleeping and grow out of your asthma and allergies and let mommy think of other people for a while? Please......

Sorry I have no exciting news to share, but to me, it is exciting and fun. Everyday is a new memory I will soon forget! Ha Ha. ;)

Hugs and kisses.

Growing

Everthing is growing at the Camp household. Jameson is getting to be such a big boy. He amazes me each day when he says something new. He is really getting into this talking thing. Not a day goes by that I don't laugh at something he says. My favorite thing he says right now is, "hold on tight"(he grabs himself in the chest when he says it) and "bulldooder" (bull dozer) He brings such joy to my life. What did I do without him (sat down, watched TV, slept, took naps, went on trips....um I mean my life was so boring without him) Just kidding. I love my life and love being a mom.

Every year I plant lots of flowers around the house. I just like making it look lively outside. This year has been a great year for my flowers. They are so pretty. I love walking outside and seeing so much color. I took some pictures, but they don't do it justice.

Summer has been a blast so far. We basically stay outside all the time and play....HARD! Life is grand isn't it.

Spreading some hay for daddy.

Children's Day and Advice

I think Mother's Day should be renamed, "Children's Day" because if it weren't for them, there wouldn't be a Mother's Day. Just a thought.

Anyway, this was my second Mother's Day and it was very special. On any holiday, I always wake up on the verge of tears. Anyone else???? Why is that? Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Mother's Day, childs birthday. I am always on the emotional side. One wrong word or sweet kiss and I am done. So, Rusty had written me this letter that verified once again how much he loves me and what a lucky woman I am. The very first, "Dear Can", the tears began to come. Then, I read Jameson's card and opened my gifts and tears still came. It was a great start to my very special day.

Mother's Day is just a reminder to me of how blessed I am to have Jameson. He is my life and the joy of my day. It is also a reminder of how lucky I am to have a mom. I love my mom so very much. She is my best friend. I guess I get so emotional because I know how blessed I am. God gives us these days to remind us just how much He has given us. I am so very thankful that he allows me to celebrate Mother's Day.

Now, on to the advice part. Jameson has started biting at daycare. He has bitten a child all three days this week and once last week. Any moms been through this or going through this? Give me some pointers on how to stop it. We have tried everyting. Im afraid I am going to start receiving hate mail from some moms if it doesn't stop soon. Help!

This sweet little face will bite you! Hard to believe isn't it.

Where does the time go?

Saturday was our 6 year anniversary! On Friday, Rusty took me to a cute little bed and breakfast. We are lovers of b&b's. We laughed Sat. when we left because we were by far the youngest one's there. We are old at heart. Anyway, J stayed with my mom Friday night and was a perfect angel according to my mom (who, by the way, would say that even if he had burned her house down). Russ and I had a great time together. It was nice to relax. It seems like the years pass by more quickly now. Could just be me.

The past six years have been amazing for me. I know that Russ is my true mate. Who else could put up with my mood swings and demands. I am so very thankful that we fell in love so many years ago.  (most of you know we fell in love in elementary school) so I won't bore you with that story again. If you care to hear it again, just leave a comment and I will be happy to share! Anyway, lots of things have changed in the past 6 years (for the better). The one thing that brings me the most happiness is, the way our love changes each year. I truely do love Rusty more today than I did when we got married. There is so much love and respect in my heart and in our marriage. The only way to keep that love growing is through God. I know this is the only reason we are still happily married as well. You can't make it without Him. I love you Russ. You are an amazing, Godly husband and father. I love being your wife and love going to b&b's with you even though we are the younest one's there. Happy Anniversary! I love you. Thanks for making me so happy. You're cooler than the flip side of my pillow baby.

So, here is where we went. It was the neatest little place.

This is the face I couldn't wait to get home to! The other love of my life.

Guess what we've been doing

Starting him out early. We hope he will make us some good money one day.

He loves to sit in the jeep.

Finally got him to look at the camera!

There is a common theme to all of these pictures (beside the shirt).....do you know what it is? You guessed it, "outside". This is our life once the weather becomes warm. We are outside all the time and will do nothing else. So, if anyone ever needs us, just check the yard! Ha.

Happy Easter

It's a little late, but Happy Easter. We had a blast this Easter celebrating Jesus. He is alive and proves it to me daily by blessing me. Jameson had a great time too. He had fun opening his Easter basket Sunday morning, then it was off to church. He was the most handsome boy in church (of course). After church we headed to Pop and GiGi's house for some good eating. After a quick nap we went to Gam and Paw paw's house for more good eating and an Easter egg hunt. Jameson would see an egg and run as fast as he could, pick it up and say,  "I foun ouh". ("I found one" in baby talk). :) It was good to get to spend quality time as a family for a change. Sometimes we get so busy with everyday life that we forget to really spend time with each other. Here are a few pics of my handsome little man.

Picking flowers with daddy. Is he cute or what!!!!

Really getting into it

Got it!

Not cooperating with Gam

Ready to go hunt some eggs Paw Paw

Found one

Our favorite thing to do at Gam and Paw Paw's

Sat. night before Easter, our very best friends Brandy and Jonathan came over with their little girl Maddie. It took Jameson a little while to warm up to Maddie, but after an hour or so they were having a blast. It is great to have quality "friend" time too. Brandy is my best friend and I hate that we live apart. I wish we had more "girl time", but what little bit we do get,  is amazing! You could so tell that Brandy and Jonathan have a girl and we have a boy. i.e......Jameson would run full speed and fall down so hard and Brandy and Jonathan would sort freak out. It was so funny. Jameson is very active and you know how much more boys tend to fall and run around than girls do. I didn't realize how we had become so used to Jameson falling until Brandy and Jonathan came over. Rusty told me he didn't know what we would do if we had a girl. She would be broken to pieces I guess. :) 

Gotta love those stairs!

Maddie loved throwing stuff down to us

Everthing else is going well. I am super excited about the weather. It has been beautiful here lately. We are all finally getting better and spending most of our time outside. Life is grand! Lots of love to my readers!
