On December 7th Cameron and all the special needs kids at his school went on a field trip to the bowling alley. It was so much fun. Ricky and Michael got to come help out too. They each had a little buddy that they would help get the balls down the lane. It was so neat to watch them be so patient with them. I’m glad they were invited to go.
Cameron’s buddy was his teacher’s daughter, Jade. She is in love with him. I think it goes the other way too:-) She got special permission to ride the bus with him. He thought it was the coolest thing to ride on the BIG bus!!
Here’s Cameron with his teacher, Mrs. Hudson.
Ricky’s little buddy, David.
Jade helping Cameron out.
Oh he got SO excited!!
Close to the final score! I was shocked this picture actually turned out.
To help Ricky earn his Wood Working Merit Badge, he made Cameron a new bed. Cameron couldn’t be more excited. It was cute. Ricky had a blast using daddy’s tools. It was an all day affair. The stain was a little stinky for a bit, but all in all I think it turned out to be an awesome bed. Good job Ricky! Now I need to think of something else he can build for fun??!!
Christmas 2010 was a blast! We had a very simple day. We opened all the presents and played until it was time to go to the Alva’s and celebrate Christmas with some other families that don’t have any family around. It was so nice. It helps keep your mind off of missing the family gatherings that you know your family is doing. That is the only hard part of living here in Texas. I miss my family. Christmas this year was special to me. I can’t believe that we have Adam. He is such a little miracle. I know now that our little family is complete. He is such a good baby too. He doesn’t sleep well, but he is still a very calm baby. Most days that is. Of course he has his moments. It’s so cute watching the other boys bond with him. They all love him so much. I just love this little family I have been given.
Here is a lot of pictures that were taken on Christmas:
The boys getting ready to see what Santa brought!!
They were very happy.
Adam even loved the toys he got. He just sat in my lap and played with them:-)
Hudson loved his candy cane bone. At first he didn’t know where to begin chewing!
The mess of Christmas!
Adam just couldn’t hang in there. He fell asleep in the mess. It was so cute.
On to the Alva’s. They got an xbox kinect, so that is what the boys and big boys wanted to play. It was fun to watch.
Alexis and Andrea. Two awesome friends of mine!!
Randy and Paul playing the kinect.
Cameron and Keaton hanging. I think Cameron was more interested in the cookie that Keaton was eating. Cute!
The lovely Taegan!
Mommy and Cam man!
Ben trying out the Kinect!
Even Cameron gave it a try and loved it!
Another awesome friend of mine, Cherise. Love her!
When the boys weren’t playing on the Kinect or with the dart guns, you can find them on the Wii.
Party at the Alva’s wouldn’t be a party without a little card game competition! Of course they are the fastest and win. It is still fun to play though:-)
