June Fun at Disneyland!

Early in June the Handshoes came down south for a visit and a fun-filled day at Disneyland. It was so fun to watch Camden and Ivy wait in line and go on rides. Camden had a blast!

Ryan, Jill, Margaret, Brian
Camden & Ivy

Camden's first ride was Small World...he loved it! The ride was closed when we came for his 1st birthday so this was extra special.

Riding the Casey Jr. train...

Margaret and me

Camden started dancing to the music playing in the train car, it was so cute to watch him enjoying the ride!

While at lunch we ran into some other friends, among them, Emi...always ready to strike a pose! She and her little buddles got bibbety-boppety-booed up to look like the litte princesses that they are.

Lexie & Miya

And last but not least, Kaila! Camden was pretty taken with her this time! And Ryan and I are always taken with this sweet baby!

Waiting for the Tiki Room, Ivy was a laugh a minute and Camden was trying to keep up with this spunky little girl!

This pic makes me laugh, he looks like such a little schmoo here and still isn't quite sure what this whole ride thing is all about, but is just going along with it.

Ivy is very affectionate! Heehee! I love how she is attacking Camden with a big hug!

A little playtime on the grass with Kayli and Auntie Candi...pretty sure Camden just got done showing them his tummy

Saying goodbye to Auntie Margaret, who just happens to be perfectly coordinated with Camden! We never like saying goodbye to the Handshoes, but always look forward to seeing them again.

Mommy's & Daddy's Day...Round 2

My second Mother's Day with Camden was just as wonderful as the first, if not more so. As this little guy grows and grows I just fall more and more in love with who he is becoming. I am never forgetful of the fact that we are so fortunate to have a child in our lives. He brings so much wonder and joy to our day, we could not imagine life without him and can hardly believe we ever existed before him.

Life with Camden now move spretty fast and it can be hard to keep up. Father's Day came pretty quickly after Mother's Day so I am doing this all in one post. Ryan has been an amazing father to Camden. For someone who was nervous about being a "good enough" role model for our son, he has certainly stepped up to the task and excelled. Camden could not ask for a more loving, involved dad than Ryan. Nothing makes me happier than watching these two together.

Mmmm! Everyone loves pancakes!

Camden got pretty excited when Ryan opened his gifts!

All in all, a couple of wonderful days to celebrate that have quickly become favorites for us!
