The Arthritis Walk
While the Damans were here visiting, we were able to do something a little special.... Scott & I had signed up to do the Arthritis Walk 5K honoring my mother-in-law, Linda, and my friend Lisa. It was so wonderful that their visit fell on the weekend of the event. Lisa & I met when I was about 12 wks pregnant with the boys; we currently serve in MOPS (Mother's of Preschoolers) together.
Gramm & Papa's Visit
Camden & Cayden were excited that Gramm & Papa were coming to visit. They hoped that their favorite Billy Goat, Butch, would somehow make it in Gramm or Papa's suitcase; see pic of Butch below...
You never know what they're up to when Papa's in charge....
We headed to the zoo, the boy's favorite place!!
Ah, & a rare feeding moment-the giraffe was looking for snack over his fence. The boys were too far to feed to him, so we settled for some greens =)
These boys love being with family. They are getting to the age where they enjoy receiving phone calls & spending time with others. We love how most of our family makes an effort to stay connected to our boys--they need that. We all do. Thanks for making life special!

Texas Day 2010
Howdy from Texas! What a special day at preschool. These were the cutest little Cowboys around! Camden's in the blue bandana & Cayden's in the red.
No need to check your eye sight-- there's two sets of twins! These girls are a few months older than the boys.
When we got home, they changed into pj's and rested like this.....

I'm a Cowboy, Baby!!
I love this new phase of life.... exploring the world in a real way, dressed like a cowboy! Thanks to my friend Heather, we were able to enjoy the animals at her ranch.
Here's my hunky Camden....
Cayden found love at first sight! He ran to "Pony" fearlessly, saying "I ride horsey! I ride horsey, PLEASE!!"
Camden was a little hesitant, but he rode Pony nonetheless. What a courageous boy!
And yet, something else sparked their attention......
Ahh yes, who could resist chasing roosters & chickens?!
I don't know where their fascination for animals has come from, but one thing is for sure--they LOVE them. All they want to see are animals, both farm & zoo types. No balls, trucks or toys, just animals all day long, everyday. We are embracing their uniqueness by exposing them as much as possible to the things they love.

Hobbies Start Early....
So you're probably thinking, "Ahh, how cute!" right?? Well, not so cute when they are doing this at 6:45am when the rest of the house is sleeping. That's right....they put on their cowboy gear and mount up on their neighing horse before daylight breaks (Cam above & Cayden below). Maybe we need a real pony ride?
Easter 2010
We were so happy to celebrate Easter with family in San Antonio. The boys are gaining understanding about 'family', so it was special for them to see all of us together as a family.

Cayden
Every Easter, the boys have had a photo taken with these bunny ears. They've changed so much from their first picture at 7 months!!
This was a tender, candid moment....
This year, the boys were introduced to our family tradition of cascarones: confetti-filled eggshells used to crack on the head of loved ones : )
