Lots and lots of pictures

Here are the pictures of the paint explosion in my trunk. Now remember these pictures were taken after I flipped out and cleaned as much as I could up. These don't do it justice!

Here is my trunk after I took a cup and scooped up the inches of pink paint that was flooding my trunk.
Mrs. Shelby Diviney!! Isn't she beautiful! Her husband, Brandon is in the background downing the cold water trying to stay cool.
Camille's first swimming trip! She loved it! However, she didn't enjoy it when she got splashed in the face. I'll have to get a better picture of her swimsuit. It is a little ladybug bikini. So cute! Thanks Bailey's!
This picture is for my dear friend April. I don't even know if she is checking blogs these days in the busy life of Shiloh. This outfit was at my house the day we came home from the hospital. In the emotional state of being a new mom, I broke down in tears. I had no idea why except for the fact that sweet April was so far away in NY. We love and miss you April! I love this outfit because it shows off every roll she has.
Here is our little cruiser under the coffee table. This is one of her new favorite places to play. She hasn't figured out how to get out though.

Happy Father's Day! Aren't they cute in their denim and white! It wasn't even planned. Clayton is a wonderful daddy and Camille just lights up when he walks into the room. She loves her daddy! Here is a sneak peak to our green living room. Pictures of the rest of the house will be here one day. Camille's room is the cutest!

Pictures with Paige

Despite the rain, we successfully had Camille's pictures taken yesterday. These weren't really her 6 or 9 month pictures, just in between. I haven't been the best at keeping up with pictures. Paige did a GREAT job and you may view them on her website. Just click on the link and scroll down until you see Camille's name. I promise other pictures are coming soon!

It's been so long, I know!

Our family has been extremely busy with our new home lately, that I haven't kept up with blogging. We are slowing getting settled into our house and there will definitely be pictures when I get everything where I like it. I have never done a list, but in order to catch you up on all my bloggable stories, I must make a list. I don't know exactly where my camera cord is to download pictures so they will come later, but I definitely have plenty to share! Here are our adventures of the last three weeks:

  • On Memorial Day, my parents treated us by taking us to see BodyWorlds. It is the museum of real bodies of different types of people. It was amazing! The most amazing part to me was the babies. They had a pregnant woman and her baby. They also had several babies in the womb at different periods of the pregnancy. God so definitely miraculous!
  • Clayton had a birthday and turned 27 years old! I can't believe how close to 30 we both are!
  • On the same day, we closed on our very first home!
  • My wonderful dad and his helper came to our house and painted different rooms for us. It is all so gorgeous! Our living room is green. Camille's room is pink. Brown polka dots are being painted around the top right now. Our study room is blue. Our master bedroom is brown with one wall red.
  • So, the first morning my dad was coming, I had to make ONE more trip to Wal-Mart to pick-up the pink paint. I had loaded down the car full of things to bring to the house. When I opened the back door to get Camille out, I could smell paint. I was so nervous to open the trunk and sure enough when I did I found pink paint EVERYWHERE! I just froze and didn't even know where to begin. Camille was so hungry and already fussy. I had no choice but to put her in the house and get busy cleaning out the car. It was all over her Pack N Play, on frames and a mirror, on the jumper cables and ALL over the bottom of my trunk. There is now small drops of pink paint from the garage to the grass where I unloaded everything. But don't worry, I did take time to get a picture once I got things under control. There is still a stain in my trunk and on her cover of her Pack N Play, but nothing was completely ruined. Thank You!
  • Last Monday my cousin Jana found out she had leukemia.
  • I attended my Orientation for my job in the fall. I can't tell you how excited I am to be teaching kindergarten part-time next year. I can't wait to get started!
  • On Thursday morning Jana passed away. She was 32 years old and a single mom of two. Everything happened so quickly. She was an art teacher and was important to many people. She was known for her funny humor! Her visitation and funeral were packed. Please say prayers for her family and especially her kiddos Cole and Zoe.
  • Camille is cutting her third tooth! It's the first one on top.
  • My friend Shelby got married on Saturday to Brandon. Their wedding was beautiful and especially Shelby. Brandon was so sweet and boo-hooood! Their reception was outside at her house so it was pretty warm. They had a photo booth...how fun!
  • Our friends from church came over Sunday night to help us move our big furniture. While the guys did the hard work, the girls watched the kiddos and got me started on Camille's polka dots.
  • I found out that one of my college roommates that I had lost touch with has jumped into the blogging world. What joy to know how she is doing again. It is always uplifting to hear thoughts from Martha.

I know I probably missed something pretty important, but that's what I get for getting so far behind. Pictures coming soon!
