Mother's Day 2011

Saturday, before Cameron's recital, mom and I went shopping.  It was so much fun because we have both lost weight.  It is always more fun buying smaller clothes!!!!  Mom had this magic coupon that actually gave a discount on cosmetics and fragrances -- ususally never happens.  So, we took advantage of it. 

After church I visited with Christie, Craig, Carolyn and Presley.  It was great to be able to see Christie on her first mother's day.  Mom, dad and Nana came to pick me up and we headed to Linda and Richard's.  Richard had cooked boston butt, tenderloin and ribs.  We brought potato salad, baked beans and pie.  We had a great lunch!  We all crammed around Linda's dining room table - Nana, mom, dad, me, Lindsay, Casey, Linda, Richard and Cameron.  It was the BEST!  Although a few were missing :( 

Linda, Richard, mom and dad gave Nana a wireless printer for her laptop.  I think she was shocked.  I gave her a Nana picture frame.  I gave mom a 'Mom' picture with a beautiful passage and a Pandora charm for her bracelet.  When we got back to Fultondale, I had a dozen red roses for her.

My sweet child, Roscoe, gave me a dozen purple roses for Mother's Day!  I think he had a little help :)

Mom and dad surprised Cameron with a huge blue bunny and they named it Theodore. She loved it!  By the way, it has been a year since Cameron realized dad was cool.  She was a little jealous when I was hugging up to him :) :)

It was a great day spent with my awesome family!!

Tiny Dancer

On Saturday, May 7th it was recital time for Miss Cameron.  She is just 2 1/2 and did better than most of the older children.  Lindsay said she is the youngest in the dance academy.  There were several of us there to cheer her on -- Linda and Richard, Nana, Lindsay and Casey, mom and dad, me, Rochelle, Shirley and Mike and Kelly.  Cameron's first dance was ballett to "Bird is the Word".  Her final dance was tap to "Yes Sir That's My Baby".  She was just precious - not scared one bit. 

I wish someone could have taped us all taping and taking pictures of Cameron.  I am sure it was hilarious.  Mom and dad gave Cameron a dozen pink roses.  She loved them. 

We are so proud of our tiny dancer and wouldn't have missed it for the world.
