Easter Pictures & My Crazy Toddler

Easter was a really good, relaxing day. We had our usual Sunday breakfast and later went to my parents for a late lunch and Easter egg hunt. Cam did really good! It was him and my almost 5 year old cousin (the only little ones in our family). There were 108 eggs..18 had quarters! They made out like crazy and had a blast doing it, my dad decided he will be adding that tradition to the list-along with him dressing like Santa on Christmas Eve every year! This week has been so great with Cam, he has adjusted to being back home with me during the day and now Monday I have to go back to school! I SO do not want to go back..I just keep telling myself "Only a month and a half left til summer", but it doesn't work. I can't wait to be done and take time off before getting my nursing career going. I love being home with Cam and having "Mommy & Cam Fun Time" Oh ya, Cam has decided to start jumping off of our furniture! He is so crazy and jumps from our side table onto the couch or from the couch to the floor! I got some on video before trying to explain to him that he can't do it(even if it is so cute to see how daring he is becoming). Here's a little clip:
I was unable to get many good Easter pictures of Cam looking at the camera, due to his lack of interest..
Here are a few from our play date with Amanda, Makenna, and Kellen...Boy is it difficult getting 3 children under 3 to sit still and all look at the camera-it didn't help that both Amanda and myself had our cameras out and were calling out all their names to get them to look. Cameron absolutely adores Kellen, he is constantly touching him and hugging him! It melts my heart and practically brings me to tears. We can't wait to give him a little baby brother or sister, someday! The Easter bunny brought Cam a Mr. Potato Head in his basket and he LOVES it! He puts the pieces on himself more than the head, but it is so cute! This is a picture I was able to capture, I had to chase him down and make him stand still to get it, WELL worth it!

New Goals

I'm back! I am really bad at this, basically because it is new and I forget or don't have the time. But I am setting a new goal for myself to update this thing at least once a week...keep your fingers crossed!

Things are hectic: I'm on Spring Break and I get to spend every day with Cam...I was looking forward to it; taking him to the park, SeaWorld, walks, ice cream, EVERYTHING...well he has been such a butt lately! He throws these temper tantrums and hits and cries constantly! I feel awful and have to give myself a timeout before punishing him out of anger. Thankfully, today Amanda came over with her little ones and I was able to talk to her about it and as always got some great advice and help!

Hopefully next week will be MUCH better! Or I'm gonna hire a nanny for the summer..hehe no not really.

Here are some updated pictures of our family:

It's been forever...

I know I haven't updated this thing in forever. We moved! and then had a difficult time with getting our deposit back from the old property manager. So I have been super busy:
I started second semester..and man it isn't getting any easier. I will be only having school 4 days a week now: Monday & Friday will be theory days Tuesday & Wednesday will be clinical. My first clinical rotation is at Kaiser in the post partum unit from 1500-2330. I am really excited to be working nights. But I will be missing dinner and goodnight hugs and kisses from Cam :(
Speaking of Cam, he still isn't sleeping through the night and in fact has started sleeping back in bed with us. He got sick a few weeks ago so we let him sleep with us for comfort and now everynight at about midnight he wakes up and will only go back to bed with us. I am so exhausted! He pushes me off the bed.

As soon as I have a few extra minutes I will post all our Christmas pictures and our trip to the snow!
