Summary Party!

It's hard to believe fall is right around the corner. Gracie will begin Pre-K this year and Cameron will remain in Level I with Ms. Kelly. We were so fortunate she is Cameron's teacher. She loves him immensely and he her. He sees her in the mornings and extends his arms out to her with his mouth wide open. (Every now and then he slips us the tongue :( ) As he is only 15 months (TODAY) he is not old enough to move up. Ms. Kelly has been teaching them sign language, so we have enjoyed him showing us what he's learned. So far, we've learned sign for "more", "juice", "please" and "eat". I look forward to her teaching more as the year progresses. His favorite word "coo-coo" (cookie). He walks to the pantry and says "mo coo-coo".

Gracie will have Ms. Grace as her Pre-K teacher. She loves Ms. Grace so we are great spirits as the new school year begins for them.

Last Friday, Bent Tree had a "Summer" party as the new school year will begin on Monday. I was watching Cameron through the window as they enjoyed their party. Don't they look so cute sitting together around this table?
Yes, he was LOVIN' the cupcakes!
Cameron & Ms. Kelly! (Seriously, he smiles like this all the time he's around her)
We walked over to Gracie's classroom to join in Ms. Misti's party but Cameron decided he needed to eat some more. This boy does not get full, it's insane. I didn't have a chance to take many pictures in her room as he was ALL over the place.
I was unloading groceries one day and asked Cameron to take my shoes to the closet. He picked them up and was gone for a very long time. I went into the bedroom to see what he was doing and he was sitting in the closet playing with my shoes. I couldn't believe he understood so I brought him back into the kitchen and asked him to start handing me stuff. He did pretty good until I opened the refrigerator. He was trying to put his Little Swimmers in the refrigerator. It kept him busy for about 10 minutes, which for us, is a God send.

Happy Anniversary!

Today is our 7 year anniversary! Happy Anniversary honey. Kenny & I have been together for more than 7 years. He was one of my best friends for several years before we started dating. For those of you who don't know the story of how we got married, you're about to find out. We were on our way to Vegas for a week of gambling, sleepless nights, etc., (j/k) but we were not on so good terms. The Thursday before our flight, Kenny went out to a "client dinner" and didn't get home until 4:00 a.m. As you can imagine, I was furious. Not only was he extremely late, he was very happy (translation=very intoxicated). I pitched a fit and said I was not going our trip. As we had already rescheduled this trip before, I reluctantely boarded the plane. On our way to Phoenix, Kenny took a potty break. When he returned, I leaned my seat back and closed my eyes. I felt a tap on my shoulder and opened by eyes. In front of me stood a flight attendant with a little silver tray, two glasses of champagne and a little black box. Yes, I was shocked. He proposed! I kept telling me he had to talk to my family and ask my Dad for permission. Much to my surprise, he said he had already done all of that. Everyone knew what he was up to except me. He had spoken to my entire family and told them he was going to propose and hopefully get married. As we were getting off the airplane, the flight attendant wished us luck. I remember telling Kenny that she was being pretty presumptuous just because we were on our way to Vegas. He said, "well, if it's ok with you, we're scheduled to get married tonight". Panick set in. I'm not ready, I don't have anything to wear, etc. He just looked at me and said, "it's all taken care of". We had packed separate bags and in his bag, he had a wedding dress, shoes, hose, etc. I was floored, it was all to surreal. We landed in Vegas and we're off to get our marriage license. We headed back to the hotel, got dressed and we're off to "Viva Las Vegas" wedding chapel. Once we got there, they had bouquet of red roses and all the little stuff. The photographer took pictures and I walked down the aisle as our family and friends watched us on the internet! We went back to our hotel room and he surprised me with a wedding cake too. It was a very memorable moment for both of us!

I love you sweetie!
