Wedding Weekend

So I got to go to my cousin Luke's Wedding a few weekends ago. Jake and Cameron stayed home because Jake had to work. Steph, Michael, Matthew and I all drove to Colorado together for the wedding. It was so much fun. It was nice to have a fun, relaxing weekend away from my stresses. I sure missed my boys though...Cameron especially. I have never been away from him that long. I loved being with family. I miss Steph since she transferred to BYU Idaho. When we get together it is always exciting. We just laughed and laughed the entire time!!!

The many faces of CAMERON!

This post is going to be really random and cover a lot of time. I haven't posted for a while. Trying to catch up. Sometimes i just can't find the motivation to do it. We are loving our new basement apartment, even though it is temporary (the house is being sold). We hope to have a more permanent place soon!! Cameron is growing and growing. Every day he still amazes me with his new developments. The biggest one lately is going DOWN the stairs by himself. It gives me much more peace of mind. He isn't talking yet but he understands really well now pretty much everything he says.

Well here we go!!!

So Cameron just got his first hair cut!!! It was quite the ordeal.

He had to sit on my lap and did not enjoy it at all! We did not time it very well because it was nap time. He got a sucker and that helped a lot though :) He looks so grown up with his hair cut. I love it!! He is no longer a bald boy.

BALD CAMERON!! (6 months old)

CAMERON WITH HAIR (15 1/2 months old)

Cameron likes to put on our shoes. He gets frustrated because he can't walk in them.
We are living in a basement apartment right now.

I am babysitting the children of the woman who owns the house.

This is the little girl (Lizzie). She is the cutest girl and

Cameron loves her. We have to be twins all the time. This is a

picture of us being twins. I am running out of pink things

(her favorite color).
Tracie's birthday cake! Cameron had to sit

with Grandma. He sure loves her.

We love her too!! Happy birthday!!!

Cameron pulled all the paper out. I had to

get a picture of this!!
This is one of Cameron's many Christmas presents. He loves riding it

around. He makes really good car noises.

Another Christmas present.
Cameron has such a contagious smile and laugh.

Christmas!!

We had an arm wrestling contest. Jake won!
Cameron in the storage room! The cousins loved it in there
Bradley in the same place.


Beatles Rock Band! We got pretty good :)
The stairs and light switches were a big hit
Dad's Birthday pizza -- olives and spam!
A silly picture.
Ben was doing push ups with Bradley & Cameron on his back. It weird to see my brothers all grown up and strong
The Goodson family!
It wouldn't be a Goodson get together without a weird picture.
The Trampoline was a big hit


They loved going outside with Grandma.
I was breaking up the ice so it wasn't so slippery. Bradley thought it was hilarious.
The cousins liked to get in the laundry basket and have us pull them around the house.
This big yellow ball was a huge hit!

Christmas has come and gone and I can't believe how fast it went. We had a great holiday with tons of stuff happening. We found a place to live for the moment!! We are living in a basement apartment. We love it and it is wonderful to have a place of our own. We are finally moved in which took a while because all our stuff was in storage and brought it to our place in trips slowly. We got a lot done before Christmas and yesterday i did the final load from the storage unit!

We got to have Christmas with both families again this year! We feel very lucky to be able to see my family as much as we do. We decided to fly to Virginia for Christmas again to see them because we probably won't do it very often as our family grows. We sure love them and it was great to be with family for the Christmas season. I really miss my family sometimes, so it was amazing! I wish flying was not so expensive though :) We played a lot of games and Beatles Rock Band. Tons of fun!!! We also got family pictures done which is great. It is going to be hard to keep up though as more and more kids come and new spouses. Cameron and Bradley are pretty much the same size, but a year apart. They are so cute together. Bradley is a very sweet older cousin and took good care of Cameron. He would always say "baby" when I put Cameron down for a nap because he wanted to see him. Bradley liked opening and closing doors and Cameron liked vacuuming. They are a good team. Christmas is so much fun with little ones.

Cameron's 1 Year Old Pictures!

Cameron just recently got his one year old pictures done. A friend of Ashton's did it (Tiffany Carter) and she is amazing! She just does it out of her house. If anyone is looking for someone I would definately recommend her. Cameron didn't really smile but they still turned out great. I can't believe how much he has grown in a year. He amazes me every day with the new things he does. I promise to do more posts very soon.

Cameron's 1st B-Day!

Cameron getting clean after making a mess

Cameron getting into eating his cake

Cameron was tenative at first and wouldn't even touch

the cake. Jake just shoved his hand into it. Then

Cameron got into it!

The Fire Truck Cake

He loved opening his presents!!
Cameron got a book!

So Cameron has turned ONE YEAR OLD! I don't know where the time has gone. Since we are living with Jake's parents, we decided to just do a family party. Cameron's Great-Grandpa's birthday is on the 3rd of November so they had a combined party. Cameron's is on the 4th of November. Cameron got way too many presents :) He actually seemed to enjoy opening them. He also got a fire engine truck cake which i spent too much time making. It turned out pretty good though. All in all he seemed to have a great birthday. He also had his year check-up at the doctor and is still huge. He is 33 inches and 25 lbs. He is off the charts!!! He is walking everywhere now and getting hair. He is starting to look like a little boy. He is no longer my little baby :( He amazes me more and more everyday with his development and personality. He is the sweetest boy.

He loved shoving the cars off the bench and watching Steph get them. I tried to capture his laugh. It was very fake!

Happy Halloween

Jake was a CEREAL KILLER....a little play on words

Cameron had a great first halloween! It would have been his second one if he would have been born on his due date. Anyway, for his costume, he was a pumpkin and was adorable. Jake's work had a party and we all went. Cameron won the prize for funniest costume and got a lollipop. We didn't go trick-or-treating, but we knew Cameron really wouldn't appreciate it. He would just want the candy. We gave him some and he loved it!!
