So, I did this yesterday....

Then I went and had lunch with Suz and her girls at Stella's. It had been a very long time and it was so great seeing her.

4th of July Parade

Oops, meant to blog about this when I did my 4th post but forgot. Last Friday morning, Team Herring loaded up with our Fourth of July gear on, strollers, snacks, bottles, and chairs, and went to the parade. Such fun, Cam had a blast! She got bored towards the end but loved it for the most part.

The 4th of July and 3 months old!!!!

Last weekend Team Peltoma came to town and we had a blast!!!! Us, them, Deb, and my sis and her family all joined us at the LCC for their big 4th of July shindig and that celebration did NOT disappoint! Wow, what a fun night!!!! Food for miles, 3 bar stations, a live band, more bounce houses than the eye could see, a rock climbing wall, glow sticks, unbelievable fireworks, and good friends! It doesn't get any better than that!! Alli kept Tess for us which was wonderful bc it just would have been too hot for her.






























































And this little missy is three months old!!! She's the sweetest baby ever and so happy. Not sure how we got so lucky but I'll take it! I love how different she and Cam are. :).

Vegas, Cam to Camp Mamy and Slick, girlfriends, and laughing

Last Thursday my in laws came to get Cam and my mom kept Tess so we could have a little weekend getaway to our favorite city Friday through Sunday. Vegas. We had a great time, stayed at Bellagio, saw Rock of Ages, at at Mario Battali's restaurant at the Venetian, then had amazing sushi Saturday night at the Bellagio. We only took one photo because we were too busy people watching, slinging cards, ringing the slots, and eating ;). Overall, a fantastic trip with my hubby that was MUCH needed!!




I did snap this out by the pool = heaven.


Back at Mamy and Slick's, Cam was having a ball!!!








Last night Heather was in town so some of us grabbed dinner at Abuelo's. Good times!! I hadn't seen Heather since January so Ioved seeing her!!




Aaaannd..... We have some laughs!

Camp out, Tess update, and Easter pics

My nephew, Ian, is at Camp Grop (Grammy and Pop) this week and he and Pop camped out last night in the backyard. How cute is that??




And I took Tess to the doc this morning to get her reflux checked out bc I don't think the Zantac she's taking is helping all that much. She weighs 14 lbs, 9 oz and is 24 inches long. She weighed 13 lbs 10 oz at her 2 mo well visit back on June 6. Supposedly they're supposed to gain an ounce a day so she should have gained 19 and gained 15 so she's pretty much spot on with weight gain. She's in the 81st percentile for height and 89th for weight. Doc says she looks great! We are going to increase her Zantac to three times a day and put a little rice cereal in her bottles to hopefully weigh the milk down to keep her from spitting up so much. We shall see but it sure makes me smile when a Doc recommends a 'good ole days' remedy like adding cereal to their milk ;). Here's to getting rid of reflux and spitting up!!!!













Here are out Easter pics from the LCC's Easter egg hunt back in April. Needless to say, the photography company was a bit behind but it was well worth the wait. I know everyone thinks their kids are the cutest and I'm here to say it's true!!!! I love these sweet girls with every inch of my being.

Sleeping all night, Cam and Tot Clock update, and Viva!!!!!!!!

Ok so I don't wanna jinx myself, and I'm sure this post will, but I don't wanna forget big milestones like this. Tess has slept past 7 am the last three mornings!! She goes down at 9 or 930 and the little sugar doesn't make a peep all night!!!!! It's the craziest thing!!! She does love that thumb though. Oh well, could be worse I suppose. Here's to getting sleep again!

Update on Cam: she's turned a corner too. Her tantrums have diminished tremendously. She's finally at a point where we can reason with her on these fits she's been having. She understands consequences and knows who is boss. :) I'll tell ya what: parenting is NO joke and far from easy but the most rewarding job I've ever had. Hands down. God has blessed us in so many ways. Life.Is.Good.

Oh and The Tot Clock. Holy smokes that thing is AMAZING!!!!!!!! Cam is spending next weekend with her Mamy and Slick (its been over a year since they've been able to keep her due to Amy's knee) while B and I go to Vegas, and you better believe in sending that tot clock with her. Luckily it travels well! For those who have issues with the children sleeping the tot clock is the ONLY way to go! Best $50 I've ever spent!!! Cameron is so excited to play with Mamy and Slick's toys, books, swimming pool, farm, and cows!!!!!

And, mommy and daddy are beyond excited to have a vacay!!! Haven't had one since NOLA in January!!!! Vegas, you're on a 5 day notice. Team Herring is coming!!!!

Almost 10 hours!!!!!!

Ok so Tess went down at 9 last night and slept until 6:45!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!! One minor problem though: we've got a thumb sucker on our hands.

Shirley took this pic at school yesterday




Then every time I checked the monitor last night this was going down....,


And then I walk in and find her doing this this morning.







I must admit, it's pretty darn cute but a thumb sucker? Really?? She already takes after her daddy on several things but the thumb sucking is one I really hoped neither would pick up seeing how he sucked his until he was 7! Oh well, could be worse I suppose. She's super happy, even snotty and super congested from daycare, and healthy. God is good!

Speaking of God... My neighbor and fellow FUMC church-member, Allison Quisenberry, asked me to join her at her bible study a few weeks ago to see if I would like it and I'm hooked! It's weekly, at our church, the ladies' ages range from 30-85, and I just love it!!! I've never participated in a bible story before now and I'm sure kicking myself for it. What a wonderful way to meet some great ladies and connect with The Lord. We are reading this for the next 8 weeks. It's phenomenal.




Have a wonderful Friday all!!
