cousins...

Cameron enjoyed sitting with cousin Micheal during the campout. :) Although Mike seems to be enjoying to just as much if not more!

Wondering what type of cousin they're...? I researched it...

Your first cousins are the people in your family who have two of the same grandparents as you. In other words, they are the children of your aunts and uncles.
 Your second cousins are the people in your family who have the same great-grandparents as you., but not the same grandparents.

Your third cousins have the same great-great-grandparents, fourth cousins have the same great-great-great-grandparents, and so on.

The words "once removed" mean that there is a difference of one generation. For example, your mother's first cousin is your first cousin, once removed. This is because your mother's first cousin is one generation younger than your grandparents and you are two generations younger than your grandparents. This one-generation difference equals "once removed."

Twice removed means that there is a two-generation difference. You are two generations younger than a first cousin of your grandmother, so you and your grandmother's first cousin are first cousins, twice removed.

On this weekend there were gun-toting individuals...and even a rooster-toting individual...

More later on this...

We quickly packed the car up the morning of the 25th and headed to Raymond, Washington to meet with a group of married young couples. A camping trip started on Friday night at Scott, Pam, and Cody Newman's farm, but Court and I were unable to head down till Saturday.

 It was a beautiful weekend with lots of beautiful countryside and lots of good times. We sung hymns, watched cows being milked, took pictures, jumped off a piece of wood with Ellia (1, 2, 3, jump. Ok, do it again...those were Ellia's words to me during my turn on the log.).

I love this picture of Cameron peeking over his auntie Laura's shoulder. So precious!!

 In love, it's a beautiful place to be!!

More pictures from the camping trip to come soon!!

Happy Birthday to Daddy!!

Court turned 23 last month and we threw him a little suprise party!!

We had the workers staying with us thursday night/friday night and Court figured that if we had the workers staying with us we wouldn't do anything for his birthday. Hehe, little did he know that it just gave me a good cover for his party! It wasn't a very big party but it was fun!!... and Court had no idea (Up until he heard his family arrive. Oops...guess I should have remembered to have them park somewhere other then the driveway!)

As you can tell I didn't know where our real birthday candles where...and I forgot to buy some. :) So instead we used the over the hill candle that I had bought for a birthday of my dad's. Luckily, Court really isn't over the hill, because if he was then I would be too!!

so many smiles, he loves his bouncy seat!

Thank you for the bouncy seat Grandma Walker... your grandson Cameron thinks it's really cool!!

Jump Monkey Jump!!

 This is amazing!

Sorry about the shadows in this picture but I wanted to photograph this special father-son moment before Cameron broke eye contact. 

It was so cute big daddy and his little man enjoying some morning time together.  :) 

I love love love his little feet and the way he curls them up under himself...so precious!

                                   When they sleep they are precious...no doubt there!
