Camping!

We have been doing a lot of camping lately. From the sounds of my husband, we are going to be doing more of it too. It kind of bites time out of my gym goal. But we try to stay very active while we are there. The first time we went camping with Lee and Kristy Stanford and went for a night. It was SO HOT and SUNNY! Wonderful considering we had rain alllll week before! I got really burnt. The river was SUPER high because of all the rain so we couldn't go swimming! So this time when we went back, we took Carters new water table! It was great! He would wander over and play with it whenever he wanted to. He would dry so fast because it was so warm. I admit I even like having it there. I would willing get splashed!! We'll be going back again for sure! Both times we went to Nature Family Hideaway campground. Nice place. On our first camping trip Carter got to meet a horse and a cowboy! He picked the horses nose.. We saw a paraglider, lots of planes. We were backed onto a dirt road, which was a dead end, and lots of people drove down it, then turned around and went back. Well the second night we were there, a family drove by. As they did, we heard a kid yell "LOOK DAD!!! A COUGAR!!!!" So Cam and I look at the hill, to find this 'Cougar'!!! It was a deer. We had a pretty good laugh over that.

How does it work with Logan? I see you have a tent and am curious because we want to camp this summer too.

I sleep in the back or our van with Logan. Bring me a couple foamy things and logans bassinet. Works quite nicely until he starts sleeping through the night. Then He will go into the play pen in the tent.

So i have been wanting to post all the projects i've been working on. But we are sick. Lovely flu. But the reason I am posting... Erica started rolling over yesterday! I could barley drag myself out of bed, but then i was greeted with this. She looks SO proud of herself when she does it too. Shes been trying since she was 2 months old. So I was wondering when she would get all the way. Shes 5 months in a week or so. She would only do it when you weren't looking. But now shes going crazy! She gets on her belly and tries to push with her feet. SO CUTE!!  She wont stay on her back anymore. Then when she rolls over she stares you down until you praise her. This is this morning. She is an old pro now.

Blogging it because I cannot talk about it.

Cam and I have told people more then once, "Carter is suspect Autism Spectrum Disorder". But after so many months of waiting, and having a specialist sit you down and say  "After observing you son, we firmly believe that he has Autism".   I now realize that I was not prepared to deal with the fact that Carter has Autisum.  I was, and still am, Devastated.  After the specialist told us of her conclusions she then asked , "Now after hearing that, how are you feeling? Are ok? Do you have questions? Can I help?" Honestly I thought I was fine. "We knew this was coming" I said. "I'm fine". Cams answer was the same. After she said "Yes, but sometimes having it confirmed makes it sink in, and you don't react how you thought you would". She was right. As soon as she said that I looked deeper and I knew I was ready to burst into tears. I wanted her out of my house and NOW. I knew Cam was dealing with his own feelings, so I h...

Kids Calenders

So I feel like I am doing A LOT of projects lately. It has been wonderful. I feel as if the "I just had a baby" haze is slowly lifting and I am feeling (sort of) human again. My first project was 'Cams Christmas Countdown' . There are more to come! This one is more of an on going project. But I loved the idea so much that I decided to share. I was at a friends house awhile ago, and I notice her wall was covered in Calenders. I of course asked her why. She told me that she doesn't have time to keep journals for all her kids, so she buys them their own calender every year, and keeps all of their appointments, play dates, birthdays... anything thing to do with that child on their calender. So when they get older, they can go through them and see what they did growing up. FANTASTIC. Ever since Carter was born, I have felt guilt at not keeping some sort of journal for my kids. I barley write in mine anymore. I usually will sit down with my journal and need to rec...
