More splashing fun!

We  went to the splash pad again yesterday (can't get enough of free fun!)  And thanks to my niece Heather Ella got to get in for the first time!

She absolutely loved it! I know it doesn't really look like it in the pics but she totally did! She was holding her tongue out so it would get wet and sucking on her fingers ♥ She even got mad when the water stopped (you have to push a button to make it go for 15min. so it doesn't run with out anyone being there)

Cam did a lot to get and keep her wet

And a whole lot of splashing himself

Heather is such a great girl (when she wants to be lol) She loves my kids and is sooo good with them. I'm so blessed to have her around

Silly little girl was so worn out within 2 hours she zonked right out

Lunch time!

Word building

Ok so Cam will be starting Kindergarten in a few weeks so I thought I would try to come up with more learning games for him I came across this diy-spinny-spellers I couldn't make them exactly like she did but I just used tape and wrote on that

 I used the mega blocks that he doesn't really play with much anymore

 

 of course he had to spell some big words (not by himself) but he asked how it was spelled so I helped him. He sounded each letter out then found the letter and put it together

We did this with all of his words. He was super happy when he learned he knew the word without having to sound them out (Rat, Cat, and Bat)

Trains & Diamonds

Ok so we bought Cam this insanely HUGE set of trains a few years back (yes we went a little crazy) and he played his little heart out for a long while with them. Well they sat in tubs for so long that I ended up giving some of them to my cousins boys. Then he played with them for a little bit then they sat again.... Well I was just thinking of putting them up on Craigslist today (Didn't say anything just thought of it) Well this is what ended up being the thing to play with today :-P He played with them ALL DAY LONG adding pieces and moving things around to make it "AWESOME!" lol Just when you think your kids have out grown something they bring it back out and make it new :)

And yes I know he's going to kill me later when he finds out that I put him on the Internet in his skivvies

And Ella has been having a rough 2 days not sure if she's teething or not but she's only happy when she's chewing or sleeping other than that she's crying constantly. Poor thing, I'll be taking her into see the Pedi in the morning to make sure it's not an ear infection or somethingThis is her favorite chew toy, Her diamond ring. Hey she's got good taste :P

Splash pad fun

You'll have to excuse the horrible cell phone pics, but I left the house without my dang camera. I wanted to document Ella's first time in a swim suit though
Isn't it sweet?! She makes it even cuter though ;) As you can see this is how she "plays" with her friend Rendon. Nothing much to it at this point in her life just a lot of fist chewing lol. She'll catch up to him a little later.
And you can't forget about Cam!! Wish I had gotten more pics of him but my phone has a delay and all the pics I tried to get of him didn't turn out :/ He had a lot of fun though after he finally decided to get wet. Any other place I can't keep him dry but this splash pad he likes to keep dry??? Silly kid.

Update on the kids

I haven't posted here in A LONG TIME! I know obviously ;) But I'm going to try to keep it up now. My son has done a lot of growing since I last posted about him.See! Crazy huh? lol

He's 5 now and thinks he's grown :) I love every crazy moment we have had and look forward to many, many more


On another note Tim and I had another baby. Her name is Ella. She's 2 weeks off from being 5 yrs. younger than Cameren and I'm sure she will drive him CRAZY lol. But for now he loves her. From the beginning he has been such a big helper and loves being around her
Ever since he first laid eyes on her they have been inseparable. Yes he's holding her hands on her first car ride. "So she won't be scared"He pushes her in the swing, and feeds her quite a bit (even now)He loves to help out with her bath timeand yes he makes sure she's around when we read. He says "We're a family and that's what families do"I think he's proud of being a big brother, and I'm really proud of how he's handled itAlso Daddy's one proud papa. You can literally see him light up when he comes home from work and Cameren runs to him yelling "Daddies home!" then scooping up both his kiddos and finding a comfy spot to have his family time This is cousin Amber. She was a HUGH help during my pregnancy! And I thank her so much!!This is Aunt Cindy And Pawpaw Pledger And Aunt VickieGrandma Villegasand Cousin Christy I know I got more pics of everyone holding Ella but for some reason there not on this computer???
