So, at a recent trip to Target we let Cameron pick out things he wanted for his birthday. We explained to him that he could not have everything, but that he could give us his wish list. We also told him we would share this list with all the many wonderful grandparents in his life. Again, do not feel obligated to buy anything on this list...or anything else for that matter :) Just wanted to share Cameron's ideas. He is really getting into his birthday this year...and is understanding the whole idea of his birthday and gifts more than ever. What in the world is Christmas going to be like ;) :)

Buzz, Woody, and Jesse

By far, 3 of Cameron's favorite toys lately. He carries and plays with these toys all over the house. With his upcoming birthday, I have been telling him everytime he asks for something that "maybe he can have that for his birthday." At a recent trip to Target, he informed me that he "needed" Slinky, the Aliens, and Rex to complete his set, "like the movie Mommy," he said. Haha...he also asked for every other toy in Target. Haha--gotta love toddlers ;)

 

I love watching their relationship grow....

Fun at the park :)

 

Big Helper!

Cameron says, "Ahhhh, open your mouth Owen. You eat your bottle now!" Haha :)

 

Zoo!!!

We braved the heat with 3 toddlers and a newborn in tow to go visit the National Zoo last weekend. It was a hot trip, but worth every minute. The kids LOVED the animals. We are hoping to plan another trip when the weather is much cooler...maybe sometime in the Fall. Most of the animals were out and moving around in the morning. As the day went on, the animals became a little more lazy...but we still had fun..with ice cream treats and water mist through the park.

Here are most of the animals we saw while we are there. Although I do not have a close-up picture of Cameron's favorite: a COW. Yes, I said it: COW. His favorite animal of the day was a cow. I didn't get a good shot of the cow b/c I honestly didn't think it was that big of a deal. Guess we will be heading to a farm this fall :)



Cameron was on a mission all day. He loved running from exhibit to exhibit to see what he could find next. I just loved watching his facial expressions as he discovered each animal. He truly is an animal lover!


Sweet, sweet Elizabeth and Aliyah had a blast! :)


These are the only pictures I got from the Kids Farm at the Zoo, which is where Cameron fell in love with the cows. This was our last stop of the day with a VERY tired Cameron on our hands, so there was no time for taking pictures :)


Cameron was asleep before we left the parking lot at the Zoo...then was exhausted when we got home. He laid around for the rest of the evening and went to bed extra early that night. What a fun day we had!! :)



Some of my favorites from the day...

Ice cream time!

Of course we had to take the 3 stooges to get ice cream! It sure was yummy. Everyone enjoyed ice cream--along with being able to run around and jump in the grassy area near the ice cream shop. Fun trip for everyone :) Of course, Owen slept through the whole thing ;)




My favorite of the evening :) They are just SOOO cute together!
