Pictures from this past weekend

Camden with his new flashlight and Hulk wristbands he got from my mom as one of his presents. Everytime we go to my moms he loves her flashlight and of course not one that we have here so my mom bought him one like hers and he loves it. Tonight he shut off his light and was looking for bugs in his room. I told him I hope there was no bugs in his room and he said mom I am just pretending I am outside looking for bugs. His wristbands he also loves....he had to wear them to bed last night.

They boys....Brett looks evil with his play gun!

Gma Brenda playing Candyland with Cassie and Camden.....(Cam's favorite game)

Playing in the snow......He loves baseball so we have to play it when we go outside even though there is snow on the ground! I think he takes after the boys and there love for baseball!

Busy Weekend

This weekend went way to fast and it's Monday, uggghhhh! Friday I was off of work so we went to Spencer for dinner, shopped, and got some groceries. Friday night we headed to Paullina to visit with Mike, Anne and baby Tristyn. We didn't stay long since the weather was starting to get kind of crappy. Camden always has a good time when we are at there house because they have 3 older boys he likes to play with. He was playing in there kitchen and he came in the living room with his hand over his head and said he bonked his head on the table. I didn't think it would be that bad since he wasn't crying but holy cow did he have a huge goose egg and it was instantly black and blue. He was a trooper and never cried. Thank goodness he doesn't have pictures anytime soon:)
Saturday we layed around all day and that night we had my work Christmas party. We had a nice supper and then after supper they had Karaoke for everyone. It was a fun night to go out with some of our close friends. By the time we left it had been snowing again and I being the only sober one had to drive home on the crappy roads.
Sunday we had Christmas with my mom at my house. Buzz, Tab, Cassie,Ozzie, and Brett also came down to have Christmas with us. We grilled burgers, watched football, and opened presents. Camden and Cassie were running wild as Buzz, Ozzie, and Brett kept shooting them with Nerf guns. It was fun to have everyone down here and it was nice that I wasn't the one to have to drive home..HA!....(Yes Buzz I enjoyed my nap after you guys left....HA!)
Through the night last night we got some more snow and today it's blowing like crazy and pretty much in Blizzard conditions! Brad went to work at 1:00 today and I am sure he will not enjoy working today in this weather. I am not sure how much snow we received throughout the weekend but it seemed like alot and I think we are supose to get more snow the next 3 days! That pretty sums up our weekend. I will post some pictures of the weekend later today or tomorrow.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANDI! HAVE A GOOD TIME IN CHICAGO!

So glad the work week is over......

It's hard to go back to your normal work schedule after you are used to vacations due to the holidays. Even though I only work 4 days a week and only work usually til noon it was tough going back to work this week and try and get back to normal. Today I just had to go in for a meeting and now my weekend has started. This week there was not alot going on. Tuesday I had an 18 week checkup and everything was good and baby is doing good. I am starting to get some fluid so I am not thrilled about that. I got it with Camden when I was 7 months pregnant, so this one I am starting it a little earlier. It's not bad right now but I have to watch it since I had high blood pressure and protein when I was pregnant with Camden. I just have this feeling already that I will not be making it til my due date if I am starting this already! In 4 weeks we have another appointment and ultrasound. We can find out what we are having in we choose too. Yep with this one I think I want to know and Brad is not so sure yet. So who knows what we will do. If we do find out we will not be telling anybody! HA!
This week is Camden's first week back to school and he was ready for it. Everyday he was asking me when it was time to go back to school. He is so excited because next week he is the snack leader and he gets to be the line leader and do other things for 3 days. It must be something pretty cool. Last night was also our first night back to Sunday school in awhile.
This weekend we have my Christmas party on Saturday night and then on Sunday we will be having Christmas with my mom down here.
I think today I am going to spend the day cleaning and get that out of the way so I don't have to do it this weekend! Have a good weekend!

Boring Weekend....

This weekend for us consisted of laying around the house and watching football. Brad had to work overnights all weekend so Cam and I didn't do alot. Yesterday morning we started getting some more of the lovely winter weather consisting of freezing rain. Brad and I had a funeral to go to yesterday afternoon and it was pretty icy out. (Our thoughts and prayers are with the Tom Raymond family with the lose of his father.) Today I got up and was getting ready for church and Camden also was supose to have his Sunday school church program during service today and I got a phone call that it was cancelled again due to weather. Which was probably a good thing because some of the kids would have to drive from out of town and it was pretty icy this morning. The rest of the day has consisted of watching football and doing laundry. We are hoping the Vikings get beat today! GO EAGLES!!! Well hope everyone has a good week as it's back to work!

Just WRONG!!!!

I was watching 20/20 last night and the last part of the show was about breastfeeding and when you should stop breastfeeding your child. Well my opinion is nursing should last no longer than a year old! I plan on trying to nurse this next baby but only plan on doing it for 3-6 months. There were mothers on there last night that were still nursing there children(not babies) at the ages of 5 and even as old as 8. Absolutely disgusting!!! And to top it off these mothers didn't care if they did it in public or not. They said it was a way to bond and comfort there children. My gosh there is other ways to comfort and to bond with your children at that age. I hardley could watch the show because it was just gross seeing an 8 yr old hanging off a mothers breast. Maybe some will disagree with me but I am sure many will also agree with me.

Happy New Year!

He looks so thrilled in this picture. They made hats and celebrated New Year's at daycare!

Playing his new game Hungry Hippo!

Presents, presents, and more presents!

Going out for New Year's

Opening presents from Gma and Gpa Stevens

It's hard to believe that it is now officially 2009. This past year for our family went by very fast for us. We celebrated the new year going out for a nice supper with 2 other couples and then hung out at a bar and celebrated afterwards. I actually made it past midnight this year to ring in the New Year. Overall it was fun going out and hanging out with friends! New Years Day we headed to a Hawkeye party at our friend's house to cheer on the Hawks. There were lots of people, lots of good food and the Hawks came away with a win. Shortley after the game we headed to Sioux City to see Mike and Anne's new baby girl, Tristyn. She is so cute and so tiny! Camden wasn't so sure about Anne having girl considering he is used to their 3 boys! After visiting for awhile we headed home last night and I was so tired and asleep on the couch by 8:30!

I posted a few pics of Christmas last weekend and some of New Year's.
