Derek is 6 weeks old!

I can't believe it has been 6 weeks already since we had baby Derek. Time truly flies with #2! He weighs 12 lbs. 7oz. and slept throught the night last night, 9pm - 5:45am. I was SHOCKED!!!!! Cameryn didn't even think about doing this until 12 weeks. And, it only happened once :) Let's hope he makes it a habit! He is smiling, cooing and so laid back. What a precious little man!

Mother's Day 2009 and More. . .

Wednesday's at Mimi's is starting to become a tradition! We love to swim, play in the blue sand, climb on Papa's new tree house, chase the dogs and eat homemade popsicles. I think we opened the pool officially this visit with multiple trips down the slide and cannonballs off the jumping rock. Nothing beats cooling off on a hot day than Mimi's and Papa's pool!

I Want to Play Tennis!

Every year Tyler and my Dad (Papa) play tennis together in the H.O.T.T. (Houston Oilman's Tennis Tournament) and the W.O.T.T. (World's Oilman's Tennis Tournament). I think that is the only time they actually play all year :) It has become a yearly tradition to go out and watch them play and enjoy the free food, drinks and fun. I sometimes get to play too when I am not pregnant :) So, this year we brought both Cameryn and Derek out for the fun. It was hot and humid but we survived. I think Cameryn has a new thing to add to her list that she wants to do when she grows up. Hopefully she can one day play with Daddy or Papa at the tournament. I think she would do great!

Cameryn's 1st Church Pre-School Choir Program

Cameryn loves to sing! She sings while she is playing, eating, coloring, bathing, showering and even when she is going to the restroom. She sings pretty much all day long!

Her favorite songs to sing are the ones she makes up, daddy's favorite songs from the radio and Taylor Swift's song - "Love story".

She also loves to sing about Jesus.

I was hoping that one day she would get to sing at church in the choir and within days of talking to Tyler about this, I got an email that our new church was having a Spring Pre-School Choir program. I was thrilled - but practices started one week after Derek was born. I was determined to have her participate so I made our 1st Derek outing a trip to choir practice. He slept the entire time.

So, I figured this would be her chance to sing on stage, and sing some of her favorite "Jesus Songs."

She did great! She memorized the songs so fast, that even when we missed a few practices she didn't miss a note. Plus, mommy and Cam enjoyed singing these songs everyday in the car - she made me play the CD over and over again :) And, special thanks to Grandma Lynda for coming with Cameryn to her very first practice.

Check out the video below of the 1st song of the night - she is directly behind the microphone next to the girl with the bright pink bow.
