I guess Camryn had a stronge craving for some instant mashed potatoes

Today we just hung out around the house and played. We played hide-n-seek for a little while, then Clayton went across the street to his friend's house. While Camryn is sleeping, mommy is going to clean (yes, again!). It seems like mommy gets everything cleaned and then she turns around and a room is dirty again (see picture). Oh well, I guess that's what mothers everywhere have to deal with!!!

Playing with his DS

This morning mommy did some cleaning up around the house. Then mommy took the kids to Game Stop to get Nintendo DS. Christian and Clayton traded their game boys and some of their games so that they could each get a Nintendo DS. They owed a little bit of money even after the trade, but Christian has been working around the house and the daycare and at mamaw's to earn his money. Clayton saves all of his money, so he already had it. They were thrilled with their new purchases. This afternoon while Camryn takes her nap, mommy is going to work on her licensing process and do some more housework. The video below is when mommy walked into the kitchen and found that Camryn had written all over her table with chalk. And the funny part is that she was soooo proud of herself for "coloring".

Today mommy took the kiddos to the zoo. We saw Jill, Brody, and Mollie while we were there. Wouldn't you know it though, I forgot my camera...... We had a fun time, but it was hot. So we spent a good portion of the zoo trip at the splash park. Mommy said "Oh, crap" about something, and Camryn repeated about 10 times the rest of the day "Oh, crap" I guess mommy will have to start watching what she says. You don't really think you talk bad until your two year old is mimicking you. After the zoo, mommy went to pick up mamaw Mary and we went downtown to pick up some paperwork for daycare. Then we went to eat at Qdoba. Mommy had a tour tonight, so the boys stayed with mamaw and papaw and went to Uncle Chad's soccer game. While I was doing my tour tonight, Camryn was "helping". It was for an infant spot and Camryn knew exactly what room to take them in. She showed the baby where he could go "night-night".

Christian showing off his new baseball hat that we bought while shopping

This morning we all got up and mommy made homemade waffles with her new waffle maker (Yummy). We were supposed to go to the zoo, but it was raining this morning, so we stuck around the house and played. After lunch, we went shopping for school uniforms. When we got home it was naptime for little two year olds. Camryn must have been tired, because it was the first time in a while that mommy told her it was naptime and she said "Okay" and went straight to her bed. Usually she says "No, mommy" and runs away from me. We stayed up a little later than usual last night to watch "The Wizard of Oz". Camryn and the boys really liked it. Not much else to report on for today. Tomorrow, we may try to do the zoo thing.

Papaw Fred knows how to get on Camryn's good side......feed her goldfish!!!!

This morning Daddy and the boys went to get their hair cut. Mommy and Camryn played outside and mommy cleaned out the van. After lunch, mommy took the kids to Mamaw Mary and Papaw Fred's pool to swim. While Camryn is taking her nap, mommy is going to the grocery. We are going to grill out tonight for dinner, so mommy has some things to get.

The Bookworm and Mommy
Can you tell that Clayton didn't want to get his picture taken??????

Today was a pretty relaxing day. We actually didn't have any plans and got to just hang out at home pretty much all day. Christian, Clayton, and Camryn played with the neighborhood kids for the first part of the morning, and then we just relaxed and watched t.v. and played Wii. Mommy had to go give a tour at daycare at 4:3o, but we were gone by 5:30 and then we picked up something to eat on the way home. Daddy got home pretty late because he is looking for a new truck, so he went to a car lot to shop.

"Who is that crazy lady in the mirror with the camera?"
"Ride em, cowboy!!"
Barney, meet Camryn
"Get me outta here!!!!!!"

This morning we got up, and went out to the daycare. Mommy was meeting an employee out there and doing a tour. The health inspector also came while we were out there this morning. After leaving the daycare we headed out to the mall to eat lunch at the food court (a great place for 3 kids who like different things!). Clayton ate more than I've ever seen him eat before. However, he didn't eat anything the rest of the day!!!! Mommy had to go to Frankfort, KY. to deliver some papers to a couple of places there for the daycare, so after lunch we went to Frankfort. It took about 1 1/2 hours. The kids were really good while I went to each place I needed to go to. So as a reward, on the way home from Frankfort, we stopped by Chuck-E-Cheeses. The kids played for a couple of hours and we ate dinner while we were there. We also went to get Camryn's hair cut for the 1st time. She only got the ends trimmed and didn't like even that too much. We were all four exhausted when we got home. Camryn says a new phrase now. She says, "Thank you, Mommy."

ALL DRESSED AND NOWHERE TO GO

Today Aunt Jessie watched the kids while mommy worked. After dinner, we just goofed around for a little while. Then, daddy left to go work on the daycare. Mommy and the kids went over to Amy's to play with Kat and Julia. After we left there, we headed on out to the daycare to work. Daddy took Clayton and Camryn home after a while because they were getting tired. But Christian stayed around to help mommy out. He was a huge help and made things go so much faster. We didn't leave until 10:30, but we had a good time talking with each other one on one. Sometimes quality time can happen when you least expect it!!

Sunday, July 20th

Today after church, we had yet another birthday party for Camryn. This time the guests were Scott's family. And Kat and Julia Callihan. We swam and had cupcakes that were arranged in the shapes of flowers. Camryn got alot more stuff. She got some dress up clothes that she really likes. She was so worn out after all of the guests left that she crashed on the couch with cousin Amber. Christian and Amber left around 8:00 with Mamaw Mary to go to Grandma Cook's old house and clean out some stuff for junk day. They worked hard and got a little compensation for it. Christian is trying to earn some money for a Nintendo DS. He is doing odd jobs for the daycare and at home and for Mamaw and Papaw. He is a little over halfway there.

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY, CAMRYN!!!! Oh, the joys of being a girly girl........
"Wait a minute Mom, I have to put on my lipstick"
Clayton on his camping adventure
Christian and Clayton after they got finished canoeing on the lake.

Today was Camryn's birthday. We had a busy day. Mommy spent most of the morning cleaning and making chili and a baked potato bar for Cammie's party at 2:00. The party today was for Aunt Kim's birthday also which was a few days ago. Mamaw Mary, Papaw Fred, Aunt Christie, Alex, Amber, Aunt Jessie, Uncle Chad, Aunt Kim, Uncle John, Liam, Barbara, Alyssa, and Carolyn were the people who came to today's party. Tomorrow we are having another party with daddy's side of the family. Daddy and Christian and Clayton made it home from camping for most of the party. Mommy and Daddy got Camryn a little talking vanity and some play food and a purse with makeup and other girl accessories. I can't believe my baby girl is already two years old. It truly goes by too fast. We are very blessed to have three wonderful, healthy children. Soon, by oldest will be starting the third grade when just yesterday I was pushing him on the baby swing in the backyard. And Clayton, my little baby boy, will be starting the first grade and it seems like only minutes ago I was rocking him back and forth in the rocking chair trying to lull him to sleep. Well, I've gone off on a tangent but it is so important to cherish each and every day, because tomorrow they may not even be calling you mommy anymore.

Jonathon, Sophia, Bailey, and Clayton

Sophia and Camryn playing in the sandbox
We are SOooo Sooooo ready to go camping

Today we just hung out around the house for the first part of the day at least. Around 1:30 we went over to The Truman's house for a playdate with the kids. Bailey, Hunter, Emily, Miss Angela, and Sophia were there also. We had alot of fun playing outside on the big jungle gym and swinging on the tire swing. Camryn found their piano and thought that was the neatest thing ever. Maybe we have a future pianoist on our hands. We had to leave around 3:30 because daddy was taking the boys camping at Green River Lake. They left around 5:30, and us girls had to go out to daycare to meet someone for a tour. Then the girls came home and watched "Hairspray", yes again.... After that was over we turned it to, what else, but a good Lifetime movie. It was fun to spend some one on one time with my baby girl who will be turning two tomorrow.

Everybody was Kung Fu Fighttttttiiiiinnnnnnnggggggg!!!!

Today we went to the movies to see "Kung Fu Panda". It was really cute. It was also Camryn's very first movie experience. She did pretty good. She only got fussy once and I had to take her out for a few minutes. Usually as long as she has blankie and paci, she can conquer anything..... The rest of today, mommy is going to catch up on laundry and housework, fun, fun....

Clayton lost a tooth today.................

Papaw's girl

Today Aunt Jessie came over to watch the kiddos again. They played outside alot, and played Wii. After dinner, mommy, Christian, and Camryn went for a walk to Mamaw and Papaw's. Daddy and Clayton stayed home to paint some things for daycare. Later on that evening, Christian and Clayton went with Papaw, Chad, Jessie, and Josh to watch Chad and Josh's soccer game. They didn't get back until around 10:30.

Sunday, July 13th

Today was a normal church day. Got up, rushed off to church in a mad frenzy, came home, ate lunch, then took naps. The boys went with daddy trap shooting, because they are not into the nap thing anymore. Later on, we are going to cook out some hamburgers and hot dogs again. Mamaw Mary is coming over to eat with us. She still can't get around very well and has to stay off of her feet as much as possible, doctor's orders. Mommy is going to get some laundry and housework caught up because the next couple of days are going to be hectic with licensing coming out hopefully this week.

Saturday, July 12th

Another busy day for the Judd household. We all slept in until about 8:30. Camryn and mommy headed off to the grocery, while daddy cut the grass for our cookout later. At 2, our sunday school class came over for a cookout/swim party. We had a great turnout and awesome weather. The kids had a blast going from the trampoline to the pool. Everyone left around 7:15, and we went over to the Diehls house for awhile. Mommy crashed right after she got the kids ready for bed tonight.


Peggy picked a good spot to sunbathe.....

How many people can you fit in one pool????
Clayton and Trevor

"Logan, do you want to get in the pool with me??"
Isabelle has the life!!!!!

Today Aunt Jessie came over to watch the kids again while mommy worked at the daycare. They had a really good time playing outside and swimming all day. When daddy got home, we went to Aunt Kim's and Uncle John's so that mommy and daddy could go out to dinner. We picked up the kids around 8:30 and hung out for awhile talking. Daddy invented a game to play with the kids. He wraps them up in a towel and swings them back and forth in the air. Liam and Camryn were lining up to do it over and over again.

Camryn loves to play dress up at daycare
2 year old room
Eating Room
Preschool room (mommy isn't quite done with this room yet)

This morning, after breakfast, mommy dropped the boys off at Jansen and Brayden's house so that they could play. Then mommy and Camryn went to the daycare. We worked for about 2 1/2 hours, then we picked up the boys. After lunch, we jumped on the trampoline for a little while. Then it was time for Camryn's nap. The boys watched a movie and t.v. alot today. They are pretty worn out from going going going so much lately.

Paisley
Paisley and Clayton - B.F.F
Parker and Christian
Parker
Jacque and Lana

Gosh, the last two days have been hectic. Okay, let's start with yesterday. We got up and went to McDonalds for breakfast. Then we went to Six Flags. We met our friends from Alabama there, Jacque, Parker, and Paisley. We had so much fun catching up. We got stormed on, so we left the park and took a shuttle over to their hotel, which the kids thought was so cool. Then we took the shuttle back to Six Flags when the storm was over and stayed about another hour or so. We didn't get home until 8:00. We took baths and went to bed. Today, Aunt Jessie came over to watch the kids while mommy worked at the daycare. When mommy got home this afternoon, Jacque and the kids came over to play. They only got to stay a little while though, and they have to go back home tomorrow. But we are so glad that we got to spend some time with them. The kids got along like they hadn't even been gone from Louisville for 2 years.
