4th of July dance

Sorry it is sideways, just tilt your head. It was too cute to not post!

4th of July

Sorry these are so late. No good excuse, I won't even try.

Our 4th of July was fabulous. Every year we go to Centerville and have breakfast at the park, watch the parade, then play at the park afterwards. Since Cam is such late riser lately (9:30!) we had to skip breakfast and head straight to the parade. Cam loved every minute of it!
We all did this year, more than usual, because it was such a cool morning. Wishing for that right about now!
This is the only picture I could get with Cam the whole day. Busy boy.
Watching the "ambulance truck" come by.
 Cam for some reason is not interested in calling them what they really are, fire trucks.


I LOVE this little face!

After the parade we headed to play in the park and grab some lunch.
This was Cam's first time playing in any of the bouncy houses. I was a little worried when he went in to the obstacle course one, but he was fearless!


I love this one. You can see Scott is having a blast too, rolling all around.
                               There were a ton of creepy spiders on this slide. Good thing Mommy didn't play!


Later that night we headed out a little early to enjoy our surroundings and got ready for the fireworks.
Cam, of course, loved every minute of being outside.
                             You can see he has "perfected" catching the football. His face shows it too.

                         Ya, Cam decided to lay on some strangers blanket...

Arent' the mountains gorgeous??
          I did not get ANY pictures of the actual fireworks. I was too busy watching Cam's expressions throughout the show. He enjoyed them so much, especially with his Uncle Robby.
Now it's time to get ready for the fireworks and festivities on the 24th!!!!

Jon is...

Cam thought Jon was quite funny this night.
Can you tell??

Grandma Bennett


Scott's sweet Grandma passed away Friday morning after a hard battle with pancreatic cancer.
This picture was taken a year ago, at Cameron's first birthday, her with her grandchildren.

Grandma Bennett was such a great women that helped EVERYONE she could, especially her family. She was a great example to so many.

These past few weeks I have been able to see her daily since she has been staying with Scott's family. She and I were able to get to know each other a lot better and I am extremely grateful for that.
It was an honor to help her with the little things she was unable to do. Lady did such an awesome job taking care of her mother and has taught me many things throughout this. The whole family did all they could during this time and it was a great example of how families work together in times of trial.

Lady, I am so proud of you. You are amazing and I know your mom appreciated every thing you did for her. I love you!

Grandma, We miss you. Thank you for making sweet memories with all of us this last little while. I am so happy you are with your loved ones again and are free from pain. We will see you again someday and what a great day that will be for us all!
We love you!!
