New Table

I have spent 30 minutes of my life trying to figure out how to blog about our new table. Mom asked me to blog it so she could see it, but I thought that would be super boring.

(Like way more boring than 37 pictures of Cameron playing his piano :)

So, it might be boring, but here it is. We bought our last table when Lila was Cameron's age. At the time we thought it would fit our family for a really long time. It had room for 6 and we thought that even if we had one more baby that would be plenty. Well, not so much.

Once Griffin was born it got really tight, but we made it work. Now that Cameron is here and eating, we just didn't fit at all anymore. I would make meals and have the kids eat at the table, and Ryan and I would sit on the couch. Not cool. I really value family dinner time and this just wasn't cutting it.

So I began scouring KSL (classifieds for those not in Utah) to find just what I wanted. Our kitchen is a weird shape, so a bigger rectangle table wouldn't fit. It had to be a big square and it had to have 8 chairs without padded seats (because you know how gross those get). It took a couple months, but I finally found what I wanted.

We love it! It is so nice to be able to eat together...and we even have one extra spot. Though the kids say that is B.J.'s spot. I think we all agree that the lazy susan is our favorite feature. It reminds me of dinner time in Dothan visiting my grandparents.

Funny Faces!

In other food related news, Cameron has decided he'd like to try feeding himself. Not my favorite idea, but I let him do it long enough to take a picture.

Good-bye to our old "little" table. You have been replaced!

Just More of Cam

He never gets tired of playing this piano...seriously

My current favorite picture of Cameron. I love the big blue eyes, the dimples, and the elf ears. He is now 5 1/2 months old!

Happy little guy.

You can get a little glimpse of his hair here. It is still pretty thin, but it is long. This kid is sporting a pretty nice mohawk!

He is just such a happy kid. I think having had kids that didn't have such a nice temperament has made me really appreciative of this.

Of course Griffin always has to get in on the action.

"Duh" face.

Randoms

Just some random pictures from the past couple weeks.

Deja Vu

I feel like I've seen this scene before...

Yep, I have. Back in 2007 with 4 year old Jack and 3 year old Sunny.

Blue and Gold Banquet

Jackson had the Blue and Gold Scouting last week. Unfortunately, he was sick and wasn't able to go. One of the parts of the banquet was for the fathers and sons to bake and decorate a cake without the help of Mom. The theme was "Leap into Scouting."

So, even though he was sick, Jackson and Ryan went ahead and made a cake.

It's a frog (if you couldn't tell).

Hanging out with Henry

Henry came to stay with us on Saturday night while his parents went to dinner and a movie.

He did a lot of smiling.

Not much sleeping.

He played with his cousin.

Yep, Cam's naked. He was fresh out of the bath.

He liked the swing.

Bad thing being it didn't have batteries. Good thing being I have lots of little kids to push it by hand. Free labor.

He also did some crying, but I was kind enough not to take a picture of that.

We had a fun time with Little "Hun-Wee". He is such a cute little baby. You would think it wouldn't be big deal to my kids to have another baby around. I mean, they have one of their own. But, nope...it is super special when Henry comes over and they love spending time with him.

Valentine

I know it's not Valentine's Day yet, but I just couldn't wait to share these.

I found this idea on Pinterest and my brother and his wife made them for me. I think they turned out so cute.

Thanks Uncle Joshy and Aunt Jess.
