The poor kid has run fever more days in the past month than not. Cade got some virus from his friends at Mrs. Paula's house that led to an ear infection. He was home for two days (and is luckily feeling better today!!).<br /><br />That being said, we are visiting the doc again today for the fifth time this month! I love my pediatrician and all, but I am very tired of seeing him!!<br /><br />All of this being said, I am inviting any who read this blog to come over to my house this weekend, with:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">rubber gloves</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.majesticwaterfowl.org/images/rubber%20gloves%20tri%20color.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 238px; height: 349px;" src="http://www.majesticwaterfowl.org/images/rubber%20gloves%20tri%20color.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">and a mask</span><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:NEx12hoDKsZwUM:http://www.mountainside-medical.com/product_images/uploaded_images/Molded_Face_Masks_Are_Used_In_Surgical_Medical_Procedures.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 204px; height: 204px;" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:NEx12hoDKsZwUM:http://www.mountainside-medical.com/product_images/uploaded_images/Molded_Face_Masks_Are_Used_In_Surgical_Medical_Procedures.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />in hand and join me in disinfecting my house.

(I don't even know if that is the title or who sings it, but anyways...). Josh is going to kill me for sharing this with the world, but we have done it many times in front of family. Just say we are their entertainment...moving on...<br /><br />Cameron LOVED, and I mean, LOVED it when we would sing and dance this song for him. He would laugh so hard. We would laugh so hard. Our audience would laugh so hard. It was the best.<br /><br />Now, we get to share this exciting moment with Cade. Except, the tables have turned a little. Cameron now gets to help turn our 'duo' into a 'trio' as he helps sing the song song and do the moves for his little brother. <br /><br />This is precious to see in person if you remember us doing it with Cameron. We are happy to entertain you if you live if you would like for us to, if not, enjoy this video.<br /><br /><div><embed src="http://www.onetruemedia.com/share_view_player?p=9cf81cc187e4ad3daa09ff" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="408" height="382" wmode="transparent" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" flashvars="&p=9cf81cc187e4ad3daa09ff&skin_id=701&host=http://www.onetruemedia.com" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed><div style="margin:0px;font:12px/13px verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;padding-bottom:15px;width:408px;text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.onetruemedia.com/landing?&utm_source=emplay&utm_medium=txt1" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none;">Make an on-line slide show at <span style="text-decoration:underline;">www.OneTrueMedia.com</span></a></div></div><br /><br />I love Cameron's dancing.

I am sorry you feel neglected. I have not been a good friend, just leaving you, alone, for almost two months. Now, don't get upset...I know it just sounds like the same old excuses, but I have been put in to a new place that I have never been before. Yes, that is a working mom of two. It has been a big life change. My day is so busy, from waking up at 6:00, feeding baby #2, heading to work, teaching 40 7 &8 year olds, pumping three times a day, picking up baby #1 and baby #2 (that takes almost 45 minutes), cooking dinner for baby #1 and hubby, feeding baby #2, baths, making lunches, bedtimes, and not to mention the other household duties. Good thing I have a GREAT hubby that helps along the way! Now, those are some good excuses, but here are some better excuses for neglecting you.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Mr. Cam-man</span><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHmPNG-Hr6H9SklMp5Gkw0stJ9EYGXOiph3szaEBEVxNYwmJC4OIgYvij8nyvBaQC7tW-BBMD2pXri6Q4e7lB_0wzKhT8r228S-X0OLBpOBDFRxYhyphenhyphenea1uQ9lpLe9F7YsNGYeEVMr8pPI/s1600-h/August-September+2009+022-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 212px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHmPNG-Hr6H9SklMp5Gkw0stJ9EYGXOiph3szaEBEVxNYwmJC4OIgYvij8nyvBaQC7tW-BBMD2pXri6Q4e7lB_0wzKhT8r228S-X0OLBpOBDFRxYhyphenhyphenea1uQ9lpLe9F7YsNGYeEVMr8pPI/s320/August-September+2009+022-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391551672120633170" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">The 'Cade'ster</span> <span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp6aeaBZFNUph2muxVTpAO3hGvG7JbbiTWuB5j_9DcmrXcUKEWUFsZvJcJ4McqxBilU4nKmJLJaXINmannPK30IlFbqWZ7yJhvknO6x6ThcjxCasmCcIhbJQQ0COb3Jm0VEqL5zbTPS6c/s1600-h/August-September+2009+060-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp6aeaBZFNUph2muxVTpAO3hGvG7JbbiTWuB5j_9DcmrXcUKEWUFsZvJcJ4McqxBilU4nKmJLJaXINmannPK30IlFbqWZ7yJhvknO6x6ThcjxCasmCcIhbJQQ0COb3Jm0VEqL5zbTPS6c/s320/August-September+2009+060-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391551652010133074" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Admiring his older brother</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgseeoTrTr2Q5tDicax7rCzgMSHXzMSBTOucsnyjla_KmyqwC3iA0hg3xDJNZE8K5JCzC0Q12hd5dQk7RIKgBb-lP-3K6O5gJQ5lDYaFjyXdCCTV6xihhYfDE0wzcyYz38iLjfXXJ-Wru0/s1600-h/August-September+2009+019-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgseeoTrTr2Q5tDicax7rCzgMSHXzMSBTOucsnyjla_KmyqwC3iA0hg3xDJNZE8K5JCzC0Q12hd5dQk7RIKgBb-lP-3K6O5gJQ5lDYaFjyXdCCTV6xihhYfDE0wzcyYz38iLjfXXJ-Wru0/s320/August-September+2009+019-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391551667504333042" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">One happy boy</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga4vF76rcxDuM7u0EMwxD6YhrL1Q0kneFPVXy3R6phM3rqmQ88t2QI1NhFDEilGDoy2soQr7NocG7NUle2WEVdN8d3cS6VPkkqrFWFUdwVQ0GJUFvxrU88eKkFjBwKS6cK74pvfKUghi0/s1600-h/August-September+2009+018-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga4vF76rcxDuM7u0EMwxD6YhrL1Q0kneFPVXy3R6phM3rqmQ88t2QI1NhFDEilGDoy2soQr7NocG7NUle2WEVdN8d3cS6VPkkqrFWFUdwVQ0GJUFvxrU88eKkFjBwKS6cK74pvfKUghi0/s320/August-September+2009+018-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391551660681974178" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Cade looks a little scared here...with reason</span>!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNG1hGBfGJ5nhC9fu8lqqxV3k5DT8o6vQ4SKeZftV8dlnIwfAKWw0kzL0WthW5juqdBU_e3tOmv5_wk1CkE_7y0YfFqI_WY64WCdtKfsPUbNcb-DizjhHzAzQx3cCNV7f9sJroBdepsm4/s1600-h/August-September+2009+004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNG1hGBfGJ5nhC9fu8lqqxV3k5DT8o6vQ4SKeZftV8dlnIwfAKWw0kzL0WthW5juqdBU_e3tOmv5_wk1CkE_7y0YfFqI_WY64WCdtKfsPUbNcb-DizjhHzAzQx3cCNV7f9sJroBdepsm4/s320/August-September+2009+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391551684559908402" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />Now those two boys are totally worth my abandoning you.

I know one day I will hear from Cade's mouth, "Mommy, what did I look like when I was five months old?" Unfortunately, I will have to tell him, "I don't know sweet heart, mommy was too busy to take pictures." Really, I have a few, but just not 'blog worthy'.<br /><br />So, just so you know what has been going on with the Newton's, I compiled a list:<br /><ul><li>Cade started school on August 3rd at Ms. Paula's house. He has done great!! Josh took him the first day so I didn't cry, but needless to say, when I picked him up, I balled. I guess there is no way of getting over those tears.</li><li>Cameron was going to start pre-school on Aug. 5, but instead spent a few days at his Mimi and Pop's house in Austin. He loves going there and I know that they love having him. Seriously, their house is a shrine to Cameron. <br /></li><li>Cameron did start pre-school on August 10th. It was an exciting day in the Newton household. He got his lunch box, his nap towel, his change of clothes, and headed out for the day. He cried a little when Josh left, but overall had a great day!</li><li>Then...the second day of pre-school came. Oh how we hated the second day. Cameron cried and cried. He started the day off telling me he didn't want to go. But, we convinced him to go and how much fun he would have. When Josh dropped him off, he began the crocodile tears. Josh finally had to just leave and the wonderful director called before Josh had gotten out of the parking lot to tell him that Cameron was already happy and playing with others. Oh how he knows how to pull at our heart strings. <br /></li><li>Cameron does much better now at pre-school and even asks on Saturdays if he can go. He was upset last week when I told him that he got to stay home with us. "But mommy, why is my pre-school locked? I need to see my friends." When Josh drops him off every morning Cameron has to give him a kiss and a hug and say "I love you Daddy". Seriously, if this doesn't happen every day, Cameron tells me that his daddy didn't give him a kiss and hug and that he was sad all day. Once again, he tugs on the heart strings...<br /></li><li>Cameron had his first show and tell. He had spent the night at his Mamma and Daddy Mike's that night, so Mamma had to get an item for him to bring. Honestly, I was a bit nervous that he would be the only one without something cool, but Mamma came through. (really I should of never doubted her!!) Cameron brought some jungle animals that they always play with. She found the momma and the baby and he taught his class the names of the baby animals. Honestly, this is much better than what I would of given him to bring, and I know that he must of been the STAR of pre-school that day!</li><li>Cameron got stickers for making good choices and not having to go to the thinking spot. Way to go!! He is also got to be the 'weader' (that is leader for those of you who don't speak three year old). We were so proud.</li><li>I have lost space for all of his art work. I can't make myself through it away. Anyone have any suggestions?<br /></li><li>Cade has battled his first and second cold since he was born all in one month. Poor guy, I wasn't sure if he was every going to be able to breath again. The suction bulb was our best friend and followed me everywhere.</li><li>Cade FINALLY rolled over and the little boy is everywhere this month!! We lay him down in one position and it is like he plays hide and go seek with us if we leave the room. He can roll himself anywhere! You should of seen Cameron when he saw Cade roll over the first time, (imagine a high pitched voice) "CADE, I so proud of you. You are getting bigger!!"<br /></li><li>I helped open a new campus this year! I LOVE my new school so much. Although it has been a lot of work putting together a new classroom, I wouldn't change if for anything. My classes (I only teach Reading/Language Arts this year to two second grade classes) are wonderful. I get excited and sad thinking that in two short school years I will get to see Cameron walking the halls of Creek View Elementary. <br /></li><li>On August 25, I celebrated my 29th birthday. Yes, my last year in my 20's. So sad...</li><li>Josh became a great babysitter this month as I spent many Saturdays and Sundays up at school. He is now a pro at two children!</li><li>I spent most of this month with my new best friend, my breast pump. Sorry to be so blunt, but I feel that I need to celebrate taking 10 minutes out of my busy day every three hours to 'feed' my child. <br /></li><li>And although this technically didn't happen in August, I feel it is blog worthy...we happily welcome back...FOOTBALL SEASON!! Lord, please let the Aggies be good this year...(oh and with the beginning of Football season means basketball season is right around the corner. I love basketball now!! Thank you Josh...)<br /></li></ul>So that is our life in a list. Sort of...I am sure I missed something. Five months of maternity leave has come and gone. I will forever treasure this special time with my kids. Although there were days that I could of pulled my hair out, my house was clean, my family had good home cooked meals, I sometimes slept in (if 8:00 is sleeping in?), I watched Oprah, I blogged more, and I took more pictures. But oh how I love teaching. I miss this kids and I miss seeing my bestest friends daily. There is no better job than being a mom and teacher...<br /><br />Hopefully my next blog won't be a month away...The Newton'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284903677300445014noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919181352219226905.post-12963395415505293922009-07-31T14:31:00.003-05:002009-07-31T15:06:20.285-05:00Happy Birthday Jace!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG7eLhgXUHhda4gFZMHlNNcWwkZdnEtNoKjzvtELl86SZHnbmxlvNAwUnorvaR9B_yAvwTCzY_uZ016z1inRz9CNcK0IRAz3XF2bGqFAeqhUzMJkR_TZSBe39Mp7utAN-8mNERa6k5wts/s1600-h/Sharon+%26+Mike%27s+Pics+May-June+2009+176-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 282px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG7eLhgXUHhda4gFZMHlNNcWwkZdnEtNoKjzvtELl86SZHnbmxlvNAwUnorvaR9B_yAvwTCzY_uZ016z1inRz9CNcK0IRAz3XF2bGqFAeqhUzMJkR_TZSBe39Mp7utAN-8mNERa6k5wts/s320/Sharon+%26+Mike%27s+Pics+May-June+2009+176-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364716499434739794" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We are so excited that today is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Jace's</span> 3rd birthday!

I honestly cannot believe that it has already been four months. Oh how fast time goes...<br /><br />I finally am starting to feel that I don't have a 'newborn' anymore. Cade has really started laughing and talking this month. Every morning after eating, he plays with his friends. His friends are the animals that hang from his play mat, which include a giraffe, a red bird, an elephant, and a set of play keys (I couldn't find the other the animal that goes on there...). He talks to them and grabs at them, and most importantly, tries to eat them. The kid puts anything that touches his hands into his mouth!!<br /><br />Cameron still continues to be his favorite toy. He laughs at him when he plays and will find him wherever he is in the room. I love that each one of them love each other so much right now. I will try so hard to remember these times when they are teenagers and probably spend the day fighting like my brother and I did. Lucky for us, we became pretty good friends! There is nothing better than being so close to your sibling!<br /><br />So here is a list of things that Cade is doing right now (both good and bad...):<br />**He is on a great schedule...up each day by about 8:15, takes two good naps (about two hours in the morning and three in the afternoon) and two good cat naps during the day. <br />**We have finally mastered nursing. It took some time, and I am so glad that I stuck with it, but he is a great eater!!<br />**He randomly will eat in the middle of the night. I would say about three times a week, he will eat and then go back to sleep. Other nights we get up 3-4 times to put the pacifier back in. I can't wait to sleep an entire night!!<br />**I know he is capable of sleeping through the night. We have talked about letting him cry it out, I'm just not ready yet. I hate a crying baby...especially mine!<br />**The only way he will sleep is if he is swaddled. I have tried unswaddled (or one arm out) but he wakes himself up after about 6 hours and then we are up for the rest of the night! NO fun at all...<br />**He is now on prevacid twice a day. Dr. Ransom said we could see a spike in his reflux around 4 months, and sure enough, we have! I just hope the spitting up goes away soon! <br />**He poops about once every three days...and then he REALLY lets it all out! I never thought I would think so much about poop! This is complete normal for breastfed babies, so I'm not that worried.<br />**He has finally become a better car rider. He doesn't scream his head off every time he is in the car! (I was originally driving Josh's truck for the space, but now I moved back to my RAV so Cade can watch Cameron in the car. Thank you Cameron for entertaining him for me!!)<br />**Almost rolling from stomach to back...he is oh so close!<br />**Loves his changing table and smiles the whole time he is on it!<br />**He is losing his hair on the sides and on the back. He still has REALLY long hair on the top. I could put it in a ponytail if he was a girl. It makes for a nice comb-over.<br />**Loves to hold toys and rattles and put them straight to his mouth.<br />**Mamma gave him the sweetest little lamb blanket that he sleeps with every night. When he gets out of his swaddle, he holds on to it really tight.<br />**He loves to go from a sitting position to a standing position (with your help of course) and is so proud of himself when he stands up. <br />**He loves his Bumbo seat and enjoys eating at the table with us each night!<br />**He laughs so much!! I love his little laugh. And seriously, that smile makes the reflux, sleeping, and crying issues all go away and totally worth it!<br /><br />Current measurements (exactly the same as his brother at 4 months):<br />Weight: 15lbs 8 oz (75th percentile)<br />Height: 25 inches (50th percentile)<br /><br />Now for a funny. One day, Cameron burped really loud while Cade was in his swing. Cade started laughing. It was so funny and Cameron was so proud of himself for making Cade laugh. We have since learned that Cade loves the sound of someone burping, so you can hear this sound often in our household. Pretty disgusting, but seriously, we love to hear him laugh. <br /><br />For your enjoyment, I have posted a video of him laughing. I must say that I truly apologize for the annoying sounds that I am making. But, I will do anything I have to to hear my sweet boy laugh!<br /><br />We love Cade and are so happy you have joined our family!!<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dymew8fMds5GVKCSLG6kTOV2zQ_yvSKdldv9AfN8uZCkAzQu8ULjxNhhyiyM45yqeJi3WtKkiwGtIrpb6WAOA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>The Newton'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284903677300445014noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919181352219226905.post-66458306813683605022009-07-22T09:25:00.003-05:002009-07-22T14:35:20.989-05:00Cameronisms Part 2For Cameronisms Part 1 click <a href="http://thenewtonbuzz.blogspot.com/2009/01/cameronisms.html">here</a>.<br /><br />Cameron keeps us laughing on a daily basis! I thought I would share a few of the latest:<br /><br />One morning I was still in my pajamas, which happen to be capris and hit me about mid calf.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cameron:</span> (in a very concerned voice) Oh Mommy, why your pants break?<br /><br />Anytime Cameron has to go poop, this is our conversation:<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mommy:</span> Do you want me to leave?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cameron:</span> Yes, I need some privazzzee. (privacy)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mommy:</span> O.k., I will shut the door, so tell me when to stop.<br />I slowly start closing the door, waiting for him to yell stop. Eventually, the door shuts completely and I hear...<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cameron:</span> STOP!<br /><br />Thank you Mamma for these next two.<br /><br />Cameron was at Chick-fil-a with Mamma and Daddy Mike. He went up to the counter (with Mamma looking on) to get his ice cream. The man sort of ignored him, but finally acknowledged that he was there and gave him his ice cream.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mamma:</span> What do you tell him?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cameron:</span> (in the sweetest voice) I love you.<br /><br />And, yes, I save the best for last.<br />Cameron is obsessed with a baby doll that Mamma has at her house. The name of the baby is Baby Josh (thanks Riley!). When Cameron woke up from his nap yesterday at Mamma's house, this is what happened.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mamma:</span> Do you want to go to the jungle?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cameron: </span> Yes, but I have to feed my baby first.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mama: </span>O.k., I think we left the bottle downstairs.<br />They go downstairs. Mama finds the bottle just in time to see Cameron sitting on the couch, lifting his shirt and nursing the baby.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cameron:</span> That my milk. (pointing to his nipple)<br /><br />I guess I should start nursing in private. When Daddy Mike asked Mamma if she told him that boys can't do that, she said she was going to leave that up to the parents. Oh how I will love that conversation!The Newton'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284903677300445014noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919181352219226905.post-30330578493109836402009-07-21T08:21:00.003-05:002009-07-21T08:33:02.022-05:00Tornado DrillWe had a little scare last night. Well, really just a lot of running to different windows in the house looking at this:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRoEC1cba3kGbeGz1lm_vi4D5HqMSCsl0pj1weCyIWHuwhRwUA_bjztazC1NGtafhLaLAWWomr8-7UbfbLB18p4O6NoVfhYohNAV9YQkGuNKuaQJXUuarv3LO8g1CYcCbx7VPgoIQT_Ds/s1600-h/July+20th+09.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRoEC1cba3kGbeGz1lm_vi4D5HqMSCsl0pj1weCyIWHuwhRwUA_bjztazC1NGtafhLaLAWWomr8-7UbfbLB18p4O6NoVfhYohNAV9YQkGuNKuaQJXUuarv3LO8g1CYcCbx7VPgoIQT_Ds/s320/July+20th+09.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360905377743254818" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">(this is not my picture, but definitely the cloud we saw!)</span><br /></div><br />At 6:45 last night, it was a little overcast, so Cameron and I were going to walk to Uncle Dennis' house for a visit. Cameron was going to the restroom before we left and in about 10 minutes, the wind picked up a little and it started raining. By 7:05, all of the news stations were saying that Brazos county was under a tornado warning, and then the unbelievable happened...they cut in to my Bachelorrette: Men Tell All for a little weather coverage. What are they thinking? The weather man was having a hay day with all of these reports of funnel clouds touching down. It did get kinda scary when we saw that cloud forming out of our front window. We were very close to heading for the closet. Lucky for us, all we ended up getting was a bunch of rain.<br /><br />We thank the weather for our entertainment last night!<br /><br />And just to let you know...they did return to regular scheduled programming just in time for my satellite to go out! I missed about 30 minutes of the TWO HOUR show!!The Newton'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284903677300445014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919181352219226905.post-43138255846718701722009-07-15T16:12:00.003-05:002009-07-15T16:57:29.559-05:00A Year of BloggingI am so happy to say that I have made it an entire year of blogging!

In Josh's words..."Dawn, we need to get that internet fixed for you, it is your only connection to the outside world!" I truly have a husband who understands!!<br /><br />So, a long awaited post is finally here...and I answer the question for you...<br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What did the Newton's do for the fourth?</span></span><br /><br />I can answer that question very easily...A WHOLE LOT!!! Let me explain the story to you in pictures...<br /><br />Our day began bright and early. Sharon (aka Mama or MIL) had plans for the whole family to be at Veteran's Park in Bryan for their annual Fourth of July picnic. She also wanted us to decorate our wagon with red, white, and blue as the kids participate in a parade.

So after lunch, we headed home, the kids slept, I made my annual fruit pizza, and around 5:30, we headed over to Josh's Aunt Deb's house for swimming, hot dogs, hamburgers, and yes, our annual bike ride to George Bush library for fireworks.<br /><br />As <a href="http://thenewtonnest.blogspot.com/">Katie</a> says, this is NO NORMAL bike ride.<br />Picture it:<br />*About 15 adults, each on a bike<br />*One two seater bike complete with an adult and an 8 year old.<br />*Two bike trailors with a five year old, a four year old, and an almost three year old.<br />*One bike seat with a three year old.<br />*All riding through A&M's campus like we own the place.<br />*PTS (remember them Ags?!?) having to stop ALL traffic so we can cross the street.<br /><br />It is truly a sight to see, but one of the things I look the most forward to each year. Infact, Josh and I bought me a bike specifically for this occasion! I wish so badly that I had a picture of the group. This is a must for next year! We parked ourselves in an open field across from Reed Arena and enjoyed the fireworks. Cameron really loved the green and red ones. He told everyone that over and over again, and still talks about them. Fireworks are so much better through a child's eyes!!

We decided to go 'low key' this year, with just celebrating with the family. Of course, 'low key' never really becomes 'low key', right? We had 4 pools, 200+ water balloons, a pinata, pepperoni rolls, a game of hot potato, lots of presents, and to top off a great day, a Cranky the Crane ice-cream cake.<br /><br />Cameron told me months ago that he wanted a Cranky the Crane cake. How in the world was I going to make this? I pondered for months. (remember last year, I made his cake...) About a week before the celebration, I decided that I would let Maggie <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Moo's</span> make the cake, and boy was it yummy!! They did a great job designing it (better than I could of imagined!) and we really enjoyed eating it! It was a great end to a HOT summer day!<br /><br />Cameron is a very lucky little boy, and I don't think he quite knows it just yet. He celebrated with some awesome family that celebrated in the heat of the day (Daddy Mike even took a trip down the slip in slide). Thank you all who celebrated with us...we really appreciate you making our boy feel so special.<br /><br />Enjoy these pictures from the big day.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">What Cameron woke up to early Sunday morning:<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Ht89YqZXcqMu3vNghQQJlJfQe3hXC1eO6X3E2QQQgSndGrzXRtlPw5oXBKQzeRLwgsl-KS4-xqaugrn6uU6CQ3INv5qVjq_gNo3bNJozUGp-XQWq4WXKNzWTi5xNEpPf61_8ecip2tA/s1600-h/Sharon+%26+Mike%27s+Pics+May-June+2009+177.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Yes, my little brother is officially married. It is crazy to think that he is old enough to have a Mrs.!! Some of these pictures were taken by their two photographers, who can be found <a href="http://eephotography.squarespace.com/blog/?currentPage=2">here</a> and <a href="http://bophotography.squarespace.com/blog/?currentPage=2">here</a>. They did an amazing job!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Let's begin with the rehearsal dinner.</span><br /><br />We began the evening with the rest of the wedding party rehearsing the big day. Erin and Dennis picked a beautiful location for the wedding at <a href="http://www.redcorralranch.com/pages/weddings.html">Red Corral Ranch</a> in Wimberly, TX. We were a little worried about the heat, but it turned out to be perfect. The big oak trees and occasional breezes helped us brave the hot day! My mom and dad hosted a wonderful rehearsal dinner at the ranch (on location at the Big Red Barn). We had a fun evening of yummy BBQ, a great video, speeches, and lots of laughter. Once that party was over, the groom and his boys headed to their cabin for the evening, as the bride and her gal pals headed back to the main house. We were all in anticipation of the big day!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Going to the chappel...</span><br /><br />We spent the entire day getting ready for the 6:00 wedding. Erin was absolutely beautiful in her wedding gown and Dennis looked very handsome! Before the big event, we all took some pictures, cried a little, took some more pictures, cried a little more, waited, and waited...and finally the big moment was here.

I just uploaded about 20 albums to our family website. So, if you are bored (say at a ranch in Cotulla, TX...) and have some extra time on your hands, check it out.<br /><br />Grandparents...I expect you to look at all of the albums. I did this for you too!!<br /><a href="http://newtonfamily.shutterfly.com/"><br />Our Family Pictures on Shutterfly</a><br /><br />Enjoy!The Newton'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284903677300445014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919181352219226905.post-72546302258941667692009-06-14T15:49:00.002-05:002009-06-14T16:08:52.222-05:00"I don't wanna be 3..."Well, it is official, my little Cameron is three years old today! When you tell him that today he is three, he replies with:<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">"I don't wanna be 3, I wanna be 4!!"</span></span><br /><br />Well, I don't want him to be 3, or 4, I want him to stay 2!! He is growing up way to fast! Josh and I are so lucky to have such a sweet, sweet boy. We have so much fun with him daily and he truly helps us laugh every day. I am amazed at the things that come out of his mouth each day...if I could only see what was going on in his head.<br /><br />Happy Birthday Cameron. Mommy and Daddy love you so!!<br /><br />Dear 3 Year Old Boy,<br /><br />We can't believe you are three today. We can both still remember the day you were born as if it were yesterday. The anticipation leading up to that day was gut wrenching. It was as if it would never come. And now, we could of never, ever imagined how much joy you would bring the both of us! Where is time going?<br /><br />You amaze us each day. We have SO much fun with you playing Thomas, wrestling on the floor, watching your MANY shows, playing in your shark pool, eating popsicles on the back of the truck at night, giving you your baths, reading bed time stories...and so, so much more. Your imagination is really coming in to play right now. You love to watch a movie and then pretend you are that character. You make up your own songs and even have your own language that only you understand (well and sometimes your cousin Jace). You are starting to get an opinion about many things (what you want to wear, what you want for dinner, what jibitz you want on your crocs...) and I think it is preparing us for what is to come.<br /><br />Your best friend is by far your Daddy. And you ask him daily, "you my friend daddy?". The two of you have so much fun together and you are definitely daddy's little helper. Anywhere daddy is, you are usually right beside him. You love to meet him at the door each night when he comes home from work. You can make him melt with your sweet "I love you daddy's" that come from nowhere. <br /><br />You are such a sweet brother to Cade. You constantly give him your 'mama' when he is sad to comfort him. It is so sweet how you even find the satin edge of your blanket (your favorite part) and put it in his hands. When Cade cries in the car, you usually sing him songs (your favorite is Jesus loves Me). You had about one day of jealousy when Cade came home. You are so patient with him. I know that the two of you will be best buds one day.<br /><br />You are definitely a momma's boy, and your momma loves it! Anytime you get hurt (even the littlest thing) you come get a kiss from mommy. You say it makes you feel better. In the mornings or nap when I go in to wake you up, you always make me lay down with you, you put your arm around me and say "I just love you mommy". Melts my heart every time. I really appreciate you making me laugh everyday when it is just me, you, and Cade. There is never a dull moment thanks to you!<br /><br />We hope that this next year brings you much fun and laughter. We hope you continue to love life the way we love having you in ours! Enjoy your special day!<br /><br />Love,<br />Mommy and Daddy<br /><br />p.s. pics of the big party to come later!The Newton'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284903677300445014noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919181352219226905.post-77628039931732918892009-06-11T22:02:00.002-05:002009-06-11T22:14:25.366-05:00Seriously?!?I had to write about this tonight...<br /><br />We were headed to the local neighborhood pool so Cameron could go sliding down the clam slide that he has been begging to go down for a week now. So, Josh and I pack up the kids, head to Little Ceasar's for the $5.99 Hot and Ready pizza for dinner (yes, very nutritious), and take turns with Cameron in the pool so the other adult can watch Cade.<br /><br />I am sitting next to a nice, old (yes, she was old) lady with her grandson, holding Cade. We began talking. She admires my children, and then asks me how old my little baby was. I reply with '11 weeks'. And she replies with "Oh my, <span style="font-weight: bold;">SHE</span> is so big for 11 weeks. Exactly how much does <span style="font-weight: bold;">SHE</span> weigh?" Let my explain, Cade has:<br /><br />**Blue onesie---check<br />**Blue pacifier---check<br />**Blue blanket---check<br />**A big brother that keeps running from the pool saying "Hey brother"<br /><br />I don't know why this bothered me!! I know, I know...get over it right? But I know that looking at a newborn can be quite confusing, but give me a break, I do everything I can to cover this kid in blue. <br /><br />But not only that, she nearly chokes on her words when talking about how big my baby is! The kid likes to eat, what can I say? And seriously, he isn't that big!! He looks very normal, and healthy.<br /><br />Some people. I know she probably meant nothing by what she said, it just struck a nerve with me. I will get over it...thanks for letting me vent!The Newton'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284903677300445014noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919181352219226905.post-55434976276480147782009-06-11T15:43:00.005-05:002009-06-11T16:06:06.173-05:00Comparing my boysCade after his two month check up, in a navy onesie on the boppy...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkk02F10rzF63uY_tF2zRwGeOACoJKRP2cdEbYGmZxdXaEnoJzbAqZgonOecvKA4vRvwepiWvIv9RZ1NcWNE8ysn0U1iyZQFr4SQ1Suy_vMxIXxpsdtVUbT_OSrhBHRYNcMSiyR7sqi2g/s1600-h/May+2009+023.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkk02F10rzF63uY_tF2zRwGeOACoJKRP2cdEbYGmZxdXaEnoJzbAqZgonOecvKA4vRvwepiWvIv9RZ1NcWNE8ysn0U1iyZQFr4SQ1Suy_vMxIXxpsdtVUbT_OSrhBHRYNcMSiyR7sqi2g/s320/May+2009+023.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346176200298643778" border="0" /></a><br />Cameron after his two month check up, in the same navy onesie, and on the boppy.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisiHn7XSDxDHM6jcAwxwmQZxKdbqCA8VnHwKJAIMHhvRWq4H9JerL2GIRz5-ZQIcllbDknx3btgd3Wg0SuS2_1ipQrUAUuTZbeYLvLKvoIT-OiPGX6ANB4-T4Ay1Cs5T0aaCThjdQgoRg/s1600-h/cameron12.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 233px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisiHn7XSDxDHM6jcAwxwmQZxKdbqCA8VnHwKJAIMHhvRWq4H9JerL2GIRz5-ZQIcllbDknx3btgd3Wg0SuS2_1ipQrUAUuTZbeYLvLKvoIT-OiPGX6ANB4-T4Ay1Cs5T0aaCThjdQgoRg/s320/cameron12.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346176203842345362" border="0" /></a><br />I love comparing their photos!

I had to get up once to give him his pacifier at 5:30 a.m., and he went right back to sleep!<br /><br />We were at my mom and dad's house this weekend for my brother's wedding and Cade slept a little longer each night. Saturday night, Josh's parents took Cade so Josh and I could enjoy the wedding reception and Sharon said he slept right through the night. It is funny because Cameron slept through the night the first time after a long weekend away from home. True brothers...<br /><br />Now, if this continues, trust me, I will love it. But there is something bittersweet about them sleeping through the night. I hate getting up, but if I have to get up, is there any better way to spend your time? It is great just getting to sit there and feed him, and hold him, and many times fall back to sleep with him. It is just mommy and Cade time. Then, they grow up to be three year olds, and they don't need their mommy at night anymore. You get more sleep, yes, but your special time is taken away. Now I need a tissue...<br /><br />Congrats Cade on making it through this milestone!The Newton'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284903677300445014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919181352219226905.post-76268574225146420892009-05-31T10:00:00.003-05:002009-05-31T11:09:42.828-05:00The Birds and The BeesIt has been quite interesting around our house lately, well our backyard actually.<br /><br />One morning, Cameron wanted to go on the back porch and play in his sand table. As I was opening the back door, I was almost dive bombed by one of these:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyQ07czEcs3WlljVKvHo-vf7lULzZ9wpfqY49wb0iCeNc63tKaFGFQhOXYzVNKJslOKQ4AB1-4axA-oobmZn6T9yvmfrPn_bodtMhBNe8DutI9FUf5BWVjAJBMd0EQNs5fHueYRrOe0_s/s1600-h/May+2009+001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyQ07czEcs3WlljVKvHo-vf7lULzZ9wpfqY49wb0iCeNc63tKaFGFQhOXYzVNKJslOKQ4AB1-4axA-oobmZn6T9yvmfrPn_bodtMhBNe8DutI9FUf5BWVjAJBMd0EQNs5fHueYRrOe0_s/s320/May+2009+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342008904926650002" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It seems that these 'friendly' birds decided to build a mud nest right above our back door. I could never get a picture of it because every time I stepped outside they would fly around the back porch to protect their nest. Poor Cameron couldn't play outside for about two days because these birds would just show up out of nowhere, and even worse, Max had to make a run for it every time I let him outside to go to the restroom! One night, Josh scraped down the mud nest and we haven't seen the birds since.<br /><br />Then, later that same day, I was on the phone with my mom, looking out the window explaining to her about the birds, when I saw a football in one of our trees. A football you ask, oh I wish it were just a football... But, then I look closer and see this in our tree:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA1taFiyM_bxkJS20yI4FwKL9a_d122-_ypp9UkIhrWZkRAWT-jgme6013-SABAIOCjk0Yobr6lALik0pZeO51Uoubjh6qkPmo7X20D8YOJvTtvuZMGKhfj-Dj0x1kW_SMvZ95-GXspJw/s1600-h/May+2009+002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA1taFiyM_bxkJS20yI4FwKL9a_d122-_ypp9UkIhrWZkRAWT-jgme6013-SABAIOCjk0Yobr6lALik0pZeO51Uoubjh6qkPmo7X20D8YOJvTtvuZMGKhfj-Dj0x1kW_SMvZ95-GXspJw/s320/May+2009+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342008909025474930" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr6lJzhyqRvzhOCgkEZyuddPAbeP5F9zBe-FvMwHjuy9saV8tipMe2v2E2vI661bM33SSS5UX0zTqljzfT-WOjkkH5mgXwxHsx2Zh1oZTkBMhtbAKOdIx9gF694kgaxptWMbuAONF2jX4/s1600-h/May+2009+002-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 201px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr6lJzhyqRvzhOCgkEZyuddPAbeP5F9zBe-FvMwHjuy9saV8tipMe2v2E2vI661bM33SSS5UX0zTqljzfT-WOjkkH5mgXwxHsx2Zh1oZTkBMhtbAKOdIx9gF694kgaxptWMbuAONF2jX4/s320/May+2009+002-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342008915449188066" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Yes, those our bees!! Luckily, the tree they decided to live in was way in the back so the bees never made it near the door. We called animal control and apparently they don't handle bees. One of Josh's co-worker's husband is an exterminator and he said he would come one night and take care of them. <span style="font-style: italic;">Sidenote: Apparently you shouldn't mess with bees during the day, only at night.</span> So the day he was supposed to come, the bees disappeared and we haven't seen them since. It was really weird, one minute they were, and the next they were gone.<br /><br />After an interesting week, I have come to the conclusion that Cameron got a lesson on the birds and bees WAY too early!!

After much going back and forth and changing dates, we finally decided on a weekend in May for a trip to Sea World and a two night stay at the Hill Country Hyatt. So early Friday morning, Mama, Daddy Mike, Riley, Jace, Aunt Katie, Uncle Jordan, Mommy, Daddy, Cameron and Cade all packed in two cars and headed for San Antonio.<br /><br />This was by far one of the best places for kiddos and I highly recommend this vacation to anyone with children. The Hill Country Hyatt is amazing with these wonderful pools, a lazy river, activities all throughout the day and so, so much more. Sharon and Mike hooked us up with a joining room complete with a living area and a balcony. The kiddos would run back and forth to each other's room which made sleep time in the morning slim to none!! (thank you Riley for knocking on our door over and over again at 7:00...we love you!) Sharon and Mike took a room for themselves at the end of the hallway, and as <a href="http://thenewtonnest.blogspot.com/">Katie</a> said, I think it was planned!!<br /><br />We got there Friday afternoon and after seeing the place, we decided to forgo naps for the day. The kids loved the pools and swam and swam and floated and floated... (you get the idea). Cade was a trooper and slept in his stroller the whole afternoon. After swimming for most of the afternoon, we headed to the lobby for some face painting! Cameron went with Shamu, Riley chose the ever popular A&M logo, and Jace, well, he chose the nice pink ice cream cone with sprinkles. His daddy was not too proud and his ice cream cone only lasted about an hour before it suspiciously disappeared!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnR5_UFXjYl1fXmIZLNWQF_o0LBMaIsDTAoC-1VzXw7oDpPZZQenrbIiGZMWr4-Y4oQVo-afHteYVSRiXSalBmJh3KfpvCI28kBYGql0ZVnn7sMgcqV0toTJlUt9zbOGz3ITnhb8Dazxw/s1600-h/Sea+World+May+09+073.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnR5_UFXjYl1fXmIZLNWQF_o0LBMaIsDTAoC-1VzXw7oDpPZZQenrbIiGZMWr4-Y4oQVo-afHteYVSRiXSalBmJh3KfpvCI28kBYGql0ZVnn7sMgcqV0toTJlUt9zbOGz3ITnhb8Dazxw/s320/Sea+World+May+09+073.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338773414084919666" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1esy7WyLYWJczclHyiOVQU4k43cA1TD8RArPbRngluECNhgjTnB-L71ruTjDNDzR3XKNHBYs2_H0G7hup_zQBvEqe2OqqyD55PES-frTqIDORRYSaaE8Yb9SciY1-ms9bhDkngrlK6Dw/s1600-h/Sea+World+May+09+014.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1esy7WyLYWJczclHyiOVQU4k43cA1TD8RArPbRngluECNhgjTnB-L71ruTjDNDzR3XKNHBYs2_H0G7hup_zQBvEqe2OqqyD55PES-frTqIDORRYSaaE8Yb9SciY1-ms9bhDkngrlK6Dw/s320/Sea+World+May+09+014.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338768623725965922" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIg1fKIvX4ZWeFPsR1WSbvJjOgTygzNeDMKMNVXXI0VjDebTh3C0Cc5J7Gt5QvbqWZAuoKUD473cx9hCRWr9xZ3GKChQDQThaPMyN_hPkeGRUcq-lRgBiW-1O6mZk-KgBZsqDQUPGaBtY/s1600-h/Sea+World+May+09+020.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIg1fKIvX4ZWeFPsR1WSbvJjOgTygzNeDMKMNVXXI0VjDebTh3C0Cc5J7Gt5QvbqWZAuoKUD473cx9hCRWr9xZ3GKChQDQThaPMyN_hPkeGRUcq-lRgBiW-1O6mZk-KgBZsqDQUPGaBtY/s320/Sea+World+May+09+020.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338804387379343074" border="0" /></a>That night, we headed to a Mexican food restaurant for some yummy food and margaritas! Yes, even Sharon had a rita!! You go girl! The highlight of the evening was right before they served our dinner. Let me paint a picture for you...<br /><br />Remember the no nap decision we made earlier? Well, we were paying for it now, so we decided to bring in the DVD player for a little movie during dinner! Many stares headed our way.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhROf3r4uot28Qb41jk_Gb0HPPVJZZ4krxeB7dVm9Slmhsr5fBK2beGRAm4pUUmV07sheA_IRM8Y6mSAJf6QKAnVQfmZ4BTPgjh9vwRdh9Zp5FK7LSfKIUYf90tD1q_r5gfVPzeTfGIhv0/s1600-h/Sea+World+May+09+042.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhROf3r4uot28Qb41jk_Gb0HPPVJZZ4krxeB7dVm9Slmhsr5fBK2beGRAm4pUUmV07sheA_IRM8Y6mSAJf6QKAnVQfmZ4BTPgjh9vwRdh9Zp5FK7LSfKIUYf90tD1q_r5gfVPzeTfGIhv0/s320/Sea+World+May+09+042.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338768628079190658" border="0" /></a> Then, Mike order an appetizer for the table. Guacamole, how simple is that? Well, all of sudden some man shows up at our table complete with all the guacamole fixin's. Many stares headed our way once again as we had a live guacamole demonstration at our table! Then, the best of all. During the quac making, the live mariachi band showed up at our table to serenade Josh for his 31st birthday!! I was laughing so hard I was crying!! Josh HATES and I mean HATES any kind of attention directed at him!! Sharon and Mike got him real good!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQLDdzcPVdtwvS5feXw5Exq6OBdxSGkfDY2-L4epLVbfWC2q7SaTQMWHiMjSFzaK2szcAbP_ZaXj9AT5WN9FRRto70U18yfxgaIDFbFzK2ylDoGjLY3c0DJH2skRGlQGW9nhwyuomKu04/s1600-h/Sea+World+May+09+035.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQLDdzcPVdtwvS5feXw5Exq6OBdxSGkfDY2-L4epLVbfWC2q7SaTQMWHiMjSFzaK2szcAbP_ZaXj9AT5WN9FRRto70U18yfxgaIDFbFzK2ylDoGjLY3c0DJH2skRGlQGW9nhwyuomKu04/s320/Sea+World+May+09+035.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338768617856287842" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Josh enjoying his serenade:</span><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjASVR5qFz0kP1y5iYIS3RTRNCCILu5MVdmPvQKbReFNItWhQG3LIU0B34DpsXPAIzfJemviRCVJiSQ9nZPr69FoSHM93IVArqHJNiatvC-gVVHbQITw1OdQK0OUeefJrXnYfZfcJFWgmc/s1600-h/Sea+World+May+09+041.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjASVR5qFz0kP1y5iYIS3RTRNCCILu5MVdmPvQKbReFNItWhQG3LIU0B34DpsXPAIzfJemviRCVJiSQ9nZPr69FoSHM93IVArqHJNiatvC-gVVHbQITw1OdQK0OUeefJrXnYfZfcJFWgmc/s320/Sea+World+May+09+041.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338773396208876834" border="0" /></a> At this point the whole restaurant was staring. Yes, we were that table....Kids watching a movie at the table, live appetizer making at the table, and a live mariachi band in action!! This was one great night!!<br /><br />After our entertaining dinner, we headed back to the hotel for smores on the beach!! I might of had two smores, but whose counting right? Daddy Mike helped the kiddos build a sand castle and we sat around and enjoyed the evening!

To make a long story short, Aunt Katie was going to watch Cameron for me, but silly me thought that the doc's appointment was at 11:50 and on a whim, decided to call the office. Yes, the appointment was at 10:50. Luckily, we were already out and about, so I just headed to the doc's office. Cameron got to eat a big sugar cookie at 11:00 in the pediatrician's office. I am sure Dr. Ransom just thinks I am a great mom!!<br /><br />Cade is doing great! He is still battling a little thrush, so he is on yet another antibiotic. He weighed in at a whopping 12lbs. 5 oz. and 22 1/2 inches long. That puts him the 75th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for height. Silly side note...Dr. Ransom had a medical student in today and when she checked Cade's height, she put him in the 30th percentile. Now, that is great and all, but my husband wants two basketball players. I made Dr. Ransom check it again when he came in for the check up. I felt bad, but the student had indeed done it wrong, so I didn't feel that bad.<br /><br />Cade was a trooper for the shots. I didn't want Cameron to freak out because he gets his shots in three weeks, so I told him that Cade had to get medicine in his legs and he was o.k. with that. Cade screamed a little, I closed my eyes (I hate needles), and Cameron watched from a distance.<br /><br />I love that Dr. Ransom always ends his visits with 'Dawn, you're doing a great job'. He doesn't have to say that, and heck, he's probably lying (remember the sugar cookie at 11:00 a.m.?), but just that fact that he says it makes me feel pretty good!!<br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />And here is a little about the Cade man at two months:</span></span></span><br />**He is smiling all the time!! I love seeing his sweet smile, especially in the mornings.<br />**He really seems to notice my voice and always turns to look for me.<br />**He is sleeping from about 9:30 to about 4:00 every night. I have to get up about once in between that time to give him the paci.<br />**After eating at 4:00 a.m., he goes right back to sleep but starts waking up between 6:30-7:30. That is when Josh and I tag team and play the 'Put Cade's paci in' game. It is a fun game and anyone who wants to play is welcome to come right on over any morning!!<br />**He is usually up for the day by 8:30.<br />**I am trying to get him on a schedule. He takes a great 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon, we are working on the morning nap. I love my afternoons b/c I have worked really hard to get both boys to nap at the same time.<br />**He is a great eater and since the prevacid for his reflux is working so great, we don't have to clean up near as much spit up.<br />**He hates the car and is fine for about 10-15 minutes, then let the screaming begin. Sorry for anyone who has been on the phone with me when this happens!<br />**He is not a fan of tummy time, but will put up with it for about 5-10 minutes.<br />**He loves his rain forest play mat that his Mimi bought. And I am very grateful for the mat also as it allows me to get a shower in each day.<br />**Overall, he is a very happy baby and we are so lucky to have him!!<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Don't you just love this little grin?<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOohGbRuoAVlR2N5p-Nv_L3rPNCTvVnF-Xp9WR4VROq5yZpYhPH0ChWGaXaox8C5lbWDo0Mn9pPTxedWok7lIQvvcRbwViu70LdZdezjZgy200AlNx08y7cWVjVa2fJGLYTP6GRq5YTmI/s1600-h/May+2009+030-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOohGbRuoAVlR2N5p-Nv_L3rPNCTvVnF-Xp9WR4VROq5yZpYhPH0ChWGaXaox8C5lbWDo0Mn9pPTxedWok7lIQvvcRbwViu70LdZdezjZgy200AlNx08y7cWVjVa2fJGLYTP6GRq5YTmI/s320/May+2009+030-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338417921412040834" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I think he looks like Rico Suave in this picture (or he is pooping?!?)<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjudCJ0ALjg7qlFA6fOTqadPHdZiHZc5uJMn0UdyustOWbjuxDmoQyBwrCINAFfXbw6OVJV70UgiUT7I58dDjmIfxUemK0nulo6Hi9dOfkZH9_fmgEDMQckdZZays9Hpq7zXiGVmqgHoYI/s1600-h/Sea+World+May+09+030.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjudCJ0ALjg7qlFA6fOTqadPHdZiHZc5uJMn0UdyustOWbjuxDmoQyBwrCINAFfXbw6OVJV70UgiUT7I58dDjmIfxUemK0nulo6Hi9dOfkZH9_fmgEDMQckdZZays9Hpq7zXiGVmqgHoYI/s320/Sea+World+May+09+030.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338417933686963698" border="0" /></a></div>The Newton'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06284903677300445014noreply@blogger.com3
