Big Puffy Girl Handwriting

Let's start off with a cute picture of Camden and his helicopter toy.
And now for some fun writing by the kids. Shelby already likes to color, which is interesting for me because Camden was not at all interested in coloring or reading at this age. He just wanted to be on the move. However, Shelby is constantly bringing books over to us to read to her and will happily sit and scribble if given the chance. The difference between my children is so amazing - the same parents, same household, same way of doing things but totally opposite kids.

I asked Camden if he could write the alphabet and he sat down and just did it! I was pretty impressed, not realizing he could write them all. Too bad he added some extra scribbles while I was grabbing the camera - but you get the idea.

I'm Gonna Crawl With Those Pancakes On

Here's just a few recent pictures. Not a whole lot of excitement around here lately, but here you go:

Shelby was helping do the dishes...

We got enough snow a few weeks back to make a freaky looking snowman. I would have gone with pebbles for a mouth, but I was at work so....

It was quickly destroyed anyway...

We visited Matt at work one afternoon for lunch. Shelby enjoyed the mobility of scooching on the beautiful hardwood floors.

This is the face Camden was practicing for his picture day at school. I'm pretty sure the actual picture day photo wasn't much better - if you know Camden you know that he's got his own idea of how to do things.

And, finally, a very fun video of the kids playing together and actual footage of Shelby CRAWLING. Yes, you heard it here first...she finally figured it out.

Thomas the Tank Engine

On Friday, Camden and I took some friends to see the Live Thomas show at the Key Arena. We had tickets that were a gift from Uncle Neil and Camden was excited to go with his friend Grant (they even wore their matching shirts...). The day before I told him how it was a fun evening for him and me to go together without Shelby. He said, "no....but I LIKE Shelby!". Once Grant got loaded up in the car it was all jibber jabber from the back seat the WHOLE way to Seattle.
We got there and the kids enjoyed their 6th row seats while eating some popcorn. They could hardly wait to see Thomas!!

It was a fun show although I'm sure we all lost a little bit of hearing because it was pretty loud. Camden and Grant were glued to the action up front and at the end of the night we had two tired but happy little boys.
