The Three Amigos

The past couple of weeks have flown by and I have been very bad at keeping all of Cammie's fans updated as to her activity.  The week of June 13th pretty much passed in a blur.  Joe was working everyday that he was supposed to be off doing HVO training.  Tuesday we went and had lunch with him after going to the park.  Thursday we went to Chapel Hill Farm with Jessica, Jayden and Aunt Debby.  Friday Cammie had another swimming lesson and she swam the whole length of the pool and back with just a float and a noodle.  Saturday we went to Kaileigh's birthday party at Mary's house and then to the Browns for Kristen's graduation party.  Both were lots of fun.  Joe had off for Father's Day which was nice and then Monday morning we left to meet Jenn and Matt at Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg.  That was LOTS of fun.  The ride down was pretty stressful.  Someone screamed for about an hour and then fell asleep ten minutes before we got there.  We hit the waterpark and had fun!!  We had a late dinner at Jungle Jims,  I got the best Chipotle Lime BBQ wings.  I think I would eat just about anything if it was in that sauce.  YUM!!  Cammie finally passed out at around 11 and we all slept in Tuesday  morning.  We headed to the O'Neill's room and then went to the waterpark again.  We got chinese take out for dinner and poor Joe had talked all day about kung pao shrimp and they screwed his order up and he got cashew chicken.  Wednesday we left for home around 1130 and Cammie was good for a while.  The GPS took us some horrible route through Richmond and then through DC.  Thanks a lot.  Cammie screamed for a while and then fell asleep at 29 and 70.  Sigh....  I had told Kristen that we wouldn't be home until the next day by mistake so she thought something was wrong that we were home early.  She came by after work to pick up her things and then Paul, Jessica and Logan came over for a little bit.  Cammie liked playing with Logan.  Friday my Mom and Dad came and picked up Cammie to go to the Land of Little Horses.  They had a full busy day and lots of fun.  Cammie really liked it.  Saturday we had dinner at Woodbine Inn with Bill and Sue Rosier, Leslie, Ben and Mama Rita.  It was so much fun and they got me some cute gifts for my birthday!   We stopped at Donna and Bill's on the way home.  Yesterday the Fishers came over for dinner and that was lots of fun.  Joe cooked a roast on the grill and I used my new kitchen aid mixer to make mashed potatoes and we had yummy corn and Granny Franny made a delicious blueberry cobbler for dessert!  Cammie loved playing and showing off for Poppop Fish and Granny Franny!  Today we have just kind of been hanging around.  Not very much motivation left.

Busy busy busy!!!

Cammie's latest project is trying to teach the dogs to jump through her "hulee" hoop.  They have all walked through it but it's really funny when she tells them to jump.  I wish I could speak dog because I would love to know what Bailey was thinking.  Last Thursday was Cammie's last gymnastics class and they had a little ceremony which was so cute.  All the kids stood on a podium and got a medal.  I forgot the camera and didn't even think of using my phone. Geez.....  Friday Cammie and I went to the library and then to see Joe at the firehouse.  Cammie had fun playing ball with the "boys".  Today we have been hanging out at home, Joe is working a trade so he hasn't been home for a while.  I got a ton of cleaning done and we have been outside a little bit, it's been really hot and humid.  We have also been watching for the giant groundhog that we saw last night in the strawberry patch.  I don't want to run into him again!  Other than that not a whole lot has been going on.  Potty training has its good days and bad days. 

Carnivals have started!

Thursday we had a busy day!  Gymnastics in the morning, then we all went to Ms Sue's to get our hair cut and mine highlighted.  Joe and Cammie ran some errands and then she fell asleep in the truck so he hung out and chatted with Bill.  That evening we met Timmy and Tanner at Gamber's carnival and the girls had so much fun!!  They got on so many rides and laughed the whole time.  Cammie beat a bunch of people (including an older man) at this one game and won a big stuffed dog, then she won a little pink bear by throwing a dart to pop a balloon and she gave it to Tanner which was so sweet.  She also won a goldfish, which we put in the Rosier's pond.  A good time was had by all!! 

Friday morning Cammie had her second swimming lesson which went really well.  Afterwards she told me she needed to pee on the potty and she did it on the big potty!!  Potty training has been going so so I guess.  She does really well at times and has no interest in it at others.  Joe did some more work on her swing set in the evening and she got to swing a little bit.  Of course she fell backwards off the swing and bumped her head on the ground but she cried for a minute and then wanted to get back on the swing. 

This morning I dropped Cammie off at Emily and Edd's and I went to help at the Lab Rescue Dog Walk in Annapolis.  There were so many people and dogs there, it was great!!  It was such a nice day too!  The person organizing it (Carol Lagundo) did an awesome job!!!  AND we raised a lot of money, surpassing the goal that was set even before the event!!! 
Looking forward to having an uneventful day tomorrow.  I just want to hang out and get some stuff done at the house and chill out with Joe and Cammie and the beasts!!! 

Our future soccer star!!

I can't believe it's June already!! Saturday we had a cookout and Alice, Donna, Bill, Daniel, Kristen and Paul came over to eat and hang out.  All the food was so yummy and we had a really nice time.  Sunday Joe had to go to work so Cammie and I just hung out and then he got OT on Monday so we went to see him at station 9.  Cammie liked that a lot and she liked seeing Daddy get dressed to go on a call.  After that we were going to go to the playground but it was too hot so we went to see Donna for a little bit.  Paul fixed the bed cover on the truck for me since it started to blow off for some reason when I was on 29 so I had to pull over on 70 to take it off.   That was fun.  Tuesday we went to Jones Junction Toyota and got an 11 Camry SE that is so pretty and has lots of fun features.  It was the first time I ever got a car off the showroom floor.  Cammie was really good the whole time we were there, and then Joe left with her while we were waiting for the car to be detailed and the power went out in the building.  Luckily it didn't affect me but I was definitely ready to leave by the time they were done.  Today Joe got a couple of hours OT, it's his kelly day so Cammie and I hit Walmart for a bathing suit and then we went to her first swimming lesson at the YMCA.  She did so good and I really like the teacher.  I think it will be good to have the individual instruction too.  Her next lesson is Friday and she seems excited about it.  After that we did some stuff in the garden and made a trip to Home Depot.  Joe grilled some burgers for dinner and we got to soak in the tub and enjoy an adult beverage.  Good day and a nice evening!!
