*An Evening at Nannie's House...



Aunt Pam, cousin Kelli, Shelbi, Camden and I went to visit Nannie Wednesday evening. We had a really good visit. Nannie loved seeing her great grandkids. She thought Camden was so precious and big and sweet.



Nannie is 89 years older than Camden! Right after his first birthday she'll turn 90!!!

Camden turned 25 weeks the day we visited Nannie.





Kelli brought her Basketball State Champ medal to show Nannie... Camden "tried it on for size!!"

*Sea World!! Spring Break 2006


OK... I got a little out of order trying to keep up with the Lady Cougars. I'll back-track a couple of weeks here and show a little of our short vacation to San Antonio over Spring Break...

It was a lot of fun. We went down on Thursday afternoon. We stayed at the Marriott Rivercenter on the Riverwalk. We had 2 day passes to Sea World, so we went both Friday and Saturday. It was nice to get to spread out seeing everything over 2 days. We ate at the Riverwalk all 3 nights. The kids really enjoyed it; especially Joe's Crabshack on Saturday before heading back to Waco.

Shamu was so cool!

And this little dude was too funny!

The penguins were "cute & cuddly!!"

One "highlight"... Realizing Thursday evening after arriving at the hotel that Shelbi's suitcase was in WACO!!! Oh well, nothing a couple trips to Walmart and Target couldn't fix!

Little bitty was 23 weeks old during our trip...

We took tons of pictures, and I have a Sea World photo album posted below...

*Another week old! (24!!)



Time is flying by so fast... doesn't seem right sometimes! I told Camden last night, "I wish you could stay little like this so I could hold you and love on you!" He just grinned at me as if to say, "I have bigger plans, Momma!"

"Little" Big Sis gets some practice reading. And Camden loves it!


Poor baby...let the "torture" from "Big" Big Sis begin!! ;-)

Y ..... M ..... C ..... A !!! (too funny)

AWWWWWWW!!!!! Camden and Gracie (Alli's "baby") both have a new friend!! Gracie just had her 2nd birthday :) Camden is noticing our cat Felix and our dog Bebo, and any other dog or cat, too. He LOVES them!

My sweet, sweet little man :)

*We Celebrated our Lady Cougars' State Championship!!




We finally got to celebrate as a community our Lady Cougars and their phenomenal journey this season to the 3A Basketball State Championship!

There was a hamburger supper followed by a "pep rally" style celebration, complete with comments from coaches, players and even politicians congratulating the State Champs and giving them city and state proclamations of their championship status.


Local community leaders helped sponsor the celebration and our own Journey Christian Community (Joe & Matt) provided sound and video equipment and production for the program.

The team's manager, Lauren Gleason, and two other choir members, Laura Day & Chelsea Lambert, sang "Believe" (Brooks & Dunn) which became a theme song for the team this season.

The gym was set up complete with the blow-up Cougar head used at the football games, the beautiful new State Championship banner that will forever hang in the China Spring gym, and the impressive state championship team trophy. The team wore their state champ metals and their new state champ t-shirts.

Young and old alike got the team members' autographs, mostly on their new state champ t-shirts.

The athletic booster club president, Brian Richardson (my bro-in-law), auctioned off a team basketball signed by the entire team and coaches... it brought $1000!!!

The whole night was magical, much like the entire Lady Cougar season. We even had "Cinderella" at the ball!! HA! Coach 'A' had a deal with the team...if they made it to Regionals, he'd wear a dress! He made good on his promise in front of the entire community at the celebration!!!

The evening was punctuated with the Channel 6 10:00 PM newscast featuring the special night's event, with the ending video featuring none other than my two beautiful nieces (Alli Richardson #11 [Senior] & Kelli Richardson #10 [Freshman]) and my BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY showing off his "Cougar" onesie I made him for the state tournament. The team and coaches had all signed the back of his onesie!! My baby was a STAR!!! (hee-hee!)

*My Baby is 23 weeks old!


I can't believe my tiny baby is 5 1/2 months old already... almost a half a year has gone by since we had him!


Camden already has 2 teeth!!

He's rolling across the floor, and raising up on his knees and scooting some. He's sitting up on his own some when propped. He sits very well in his exersaucer, a walker or his highchair. He's eating veggies, fruits and cereal. Lucky for us he's sleeping as good as ever all night, and he's decided to flip over on his tummy now to sleep. He is such a sweet, good and happy baby! His sisters adore him, and so do Mom & Dad, and just about everyone who meets him!

Camden is becoming VERY interested in whatever we are eating and drinking!! He was attacking Joe's Sonic cup with ice in it!










Daddy loves his little buddy!! :)


Such a cutie!! :)

We love you, Camden!!
