Camden in his swim trunks!

With Uncle Ricky (my dad's brother) and below with "Aunt Fam" (my best friend from college)

Cam loves swimming in the bathtub

Bed time in his cute pj's from "Aunt Brooke"


Beautiful "Home Run" quilt that Aunt Marie made us, Thank you!!


We had a lot of fun times the past few weeks. The three of us went to Lake Martin in Alabama for our annual lake trip with our friends the Dukes and Kelley Fam & her fiance Luke. We have been going to Brooke's family's lakehouse for the past four years. It was a great time with friends however the weather was not our friend. Faye made her way into Alabama and it rained the whole time we were there. We didn't get to go out on the lake at all, but we had fun visiting and cooking and playing games. I included a few photos of Trey and Cam on the pier the Friday we got there when the weather wasn't quite so bad. Of course we have some bathtime pictures which Camden loves! We also made it by my uncle Ricky's house in Birmingham which was a great visit! I also put up a pic of the beautiful quilt that my great aunt Marie Jones made for Camden. It is a baseball themed quilt that couldn't be more appropriate for our family:) Thank you Aunt Marie! Camden is getting bigger everyday he is now in 3 month old clothes and at his last visit he weighed 13 pounds (75th percentile) and was 24 1/2 inches long (90th percentile!) he is doing really well at the babysitters and sleeps through the night for dad when I go to work three nights a week. Pray for my work, it has been especially challenging for me lately and I am trying to work through the difficulties I've been having.

August Activities


We have had alot going on this first few weeks of August. Trey's uncle Gene from Dallas came in and we celebrated his birthday with him. Then last weekend Trey's grandmother Maylene came to visit and we celebrated her birthday early as well. We joined Getwell Road United Methodist Church and Camden went to church for the first time. See his sweet picture in his "outfit" as Trey calls it (he doesn't care much for the sweet dressy clothes for a boy!) Camden did really good, we didn't put him in the nursery b/c he hasn't had his vaccinations yet. But he slept through most of the service and we gave him a bottle and had to leave once to change his diaper but other than that he was perfect. We are talking with the preacher to have him baptized/dedicated in the next month or so. We want him to be raised in a Christian home and this is ours and the church's way of promising to God that this is our plan. Camden is getting so big and he really has a sweet disposition. I love our time together in the mornings because he and I have our "coffee talks". I tried to include a video of it for you to see but it took too long to upload so I will try again later. He looks around alot and coos and smiles more in the morning. It is really special. I also have included pictures from Camden's 8 week pose with the stuffed giraffe and sock monkey. He has gotten so big!! On another note, pray that our babysitter gets better. I started back to work this week and Cam was to go to a lady who lives across the street from us, but after I left to head to work Rochelle called and said she had to be rushed to the hospital Friday night because she was having a panic attack and thought her throat was swelling shut and then she ended up being diagnosed with strep throat. I just hope that she is better and that our arrangement will work out for next week. We had to scramble to enlist all the help we could get to watch the baby so I could get back to work. And pray for Bryce Duke who is in town with his mom my best friend Brooke. He fell while at his Cappy's house off of an ottoman and broke his clavicle! It was a freak accident and he is doing ok, but has a sling and is in some pain. Poor thing!
