A boy and his bike

Mexico Trip

Ben had a week between school getting out and starting his internship. So we decided to take a trip to Mexico. We left the boys with Grandmas. We had a blast. Why don't we do this every year?

This is the view from our condo

Our beach where I learned that in my old age I am turning into a wimp. Ben was body surfing the gigantic waves. I tried and just got pounded to the point of then being chicken of the surf in general. I know I am a wimp...but the waves really were huge!

We look a little sad in this picture cause it is our last time on the beach before we leave.

View from our dinner on the beach.


This was so fun. We took a ferry boat to a remote location only reached by boat where they have this restaurant and performance set up. It was gorgeous...very survival like with torches everywhere. I loved it!

One day we went on zipline excursion through the mountains. It was fun with 13 different ziplines down the mountain, and then at the bottom we slid down the waterfall and swung on the ropeswing into the river. The water was freezing!

Mexico...can I come back?

Handsome boys at 18 months

I don't know why I like doing this, but I do. Here is Wes at nearly 18 months and Josh at the same age in the same cute outfit! My cute boys...




and Cameron at the same age...

Muscles

I am so far behind, but for now. Here are my cute boys flexing their muscles.

Saying Prayers

Weston is getting so old. He is 16 months now and copies everything Josh does. He just started folding his arms when we say prayers and saying amen. Tonight at bedtime Wes came and sat on the ground and folded his arms, then Josh knelt next to him and said a prayer. Then Wes pulled his binky out and said bless. It was so cute. So Ben helped Weston say a prayer. Ben told Wes to say bless Josh. Wes looked over at Josh and then wrapped his arms around him in a big bear hug that knocked Josh to the ground and Wes layed on top of him hugging him. So sweet. Of course this turned into Weston and Josh wrestling. But it was so funny cause Wes was the one starting it. The were rolling on the floor hugging each other. I love that they are such buddies and love each other so much!

My Big Brother

Yesterday we were driving in the car and Josh was counting. He said we have 5 in our family. I said you are right and counted through everyone including Cameron. This then sparked a conversation about Cameron. Josh said I miss him and love him so much. I can't wait until he comes down from heaven so I can play with him. Maybe he can bring his bike, I think it's orange. Then he said Cameron is my big brother and Weston's big brother too. Then he asked me if Cameron was a big boy or little boy like him. I attempted to explain that Cameron was just little when he died but now he was a grown spirit and a big boy. But when he is resurected he will be a little boy again. Amazingly Josh followed this conversation and seemed to even understand. We all miss our Cameron.

Playing some ball

aaaahhh. I just have to start this post with that. And with how much I miss my Cameron boy. And a few pictures...



Wes has really started to like balls lately. He picks up a ball then starts looking for a hoop to dunk it. It sure reminds me of Cameron.





At the Easter Egg hunt he found a football in the backyard picked it up and started running to the front. We couldn't figure out what he wanted (all the kids were in the back). Then I realized he was taking it to the hoop. That is exactly what he did. Got under the hoop lifted his arms and the ball up and started grunting for someone to pick him up to dunk the ball.
