Happy Daddy Day
This year, Camden and his daddy spent the day going to church, taking a nap, watching the fair parade, and swimming.
I think they both had a great Happy Daddy Day!

Beautiful Bride
It's been two weeks since my last post, and so much has happened in the last two weeks it seems like it was months ago. I won't share every detail of the last two weeks because, frankly, I don't have much time. My time is limited as I'm entertaining Camden with safe scrapbook tools while I post as Daddy is enjoying antique tractor and semi pulling at the fair.
The weekend of June 12th, we married off my little sister. For those who know me well, it is no surprise that Allison and I haven't been the best of sisters over the years. Back as far as I can remember, our relationship was filled with arguing, fighting, jealousy, competition, and harsh actions and words. We don't share many of the same interests and our personalities are much different.
She enjoys sports, exercising (especially running), eating healthy, sun bathing, and resting. She operates "fly by night" and doesn't need much preparation for her busy schedule or to do the things she enjoys. She likes to take it easy and a messy house, car, or room doesn't bother her too much. She is frugal and it doesn't take much to make her happy.
I, on the other hand, do not enjoy sports. And, it is quite obvious that I don't exercise or eat healthy. Instead, I enjoy scrapbooking, cooking, the satisfaction of a clean, organized home. I plan, plan, and plan for everything and become disgruntled when my things don't go as planned. I like to be on the go either going somewhere or completing a major project at home. A times I can be a major shopaholic and spend too much money on material things such as clothes, scrapbooking, etc.
With all that said, in the last year and half or so our relationship has grown leaps and bounds and we now have a relationship that sisters should have. Yes, we still disagree on lots of things, but we have been able set those disagreements aside and spend time together doing things we both enjoy. Over the the last 18 months we've enjoyed wedding shopping trips, yummy meals, Camden's birth, days at the pool, lots of visits, holidays, major milestones with Camden, and a wedding. I have enjoyed every minutes I have spent with my sister lately. Hopefully, in the next few weeks we will be able to make the trip to Missouri to visit and continue making fun memories.

Holiday World
On Sunday, Austin, Allison, Camden, and I spent the day at Holiday World and Splashin' Safari. It was a beautiful day Sunday and the weather was perfect. We rode some rides in Holiday World before going to Splashin' Safari. Camden's favorite was the carousal. As we were riding, he would wave at his Daddy when we passed by. After lunch we headed to the water park. The water was a bit chilly, but as you can see Camden didn't mind. I believe we have a little fishy on our hands who isn't one bit scared of the water. We had a great day, but we were very tired when we arrived home! Thank you Aunt Allie for tagging along with us so that Daddy and Mommy could rides the rides too!

Daddy & Me
I'm sure I have mentioned before that Austin is home during the summer. He always seems to have the opportunity to work during his summer break from teaching, but for the past two summers he has opt to stay home to spend time with Camden. Without a doubt, Camden has a great time when it is just him and Daddy. They play outside all day and sometimes skip the afternoon naps. Don't you think Camden has fun with Daddy when Mommy is working?
And, yes, Camden climbed up on the mower by himself, and yes, Daddy allows swimming in his clothes and diaper. But, hey, he's a happy camper!
