Camryn's on a roll

I was just bragging last week at how good Camryn has been. Then she turned on me. She's been full of herself and completely disobedient. She pushes me to the limits sometimes. She's been in that mood where if she doesn't want to do it, she's not gonna do it. In Walmart she insisted on walking so we didn't get a buggy. She immediately started asking Jason and I to hold her but we refused. At some point I realized she wasn't with us. About 50 ft back she was sitting in the middle of the aisle sucking her fingers. With Taylor, I can give her a look and she jumps. Camryn is a different story. I gave her a look and she just looked back. I brought out the stern voice of authority and she just glared. I wanted to pick her up and spank her bottom but you know I'd be the one getting in trouble then. So I picked her up and gave her a talking to. Then I put her down and we tried again only to find her sitting in the middle of the aisle again. Oh for the love!

Tonight she looked up and saw flies buzzing around. She has a terrible fear of bugs at this stage in her life. She kept obsessing over them and I finally told her that she just needs to pray and ask Jesus to protect her from the bugs so she would calm down. This is what she said.
"Thank you da Lord. Please make the bugs fly away. Amen"
Then she said, "Hope Jesus comes through!". Sigh.

Future career






We had a wonderful trip to Hendersonville this year. I've been going to the same camp for over 10 yrs and Jason started coming with me when we got married. It's fun watching our kids make memories in the same place. We always visit several waterfalls when we're there and Taylor's favorite thing to do is collect rocks. We went to Hooker Falls, Looking Glass Falls, sliding rock(but they were too crowded for me to slide:( ), Piggy Park (ice cream), putt putting, and Jump Off Rock for the first time. The weather was gorgeous. Mid to low 80 during the day and low 60's at night. Perfect! No rain either. Mimi and Poppa came with us (Jason's parents). The kids rode in their car everywhere we went so Jason and I had uninterrupted conversations the whole weekend! It was awesome!! That's enough talk. I have a million pictures to post.

I Can't Make This Stuff Up

I just got back from Publix where some strange guy tried to be Camryn's father!? She had taken a 3 hour nap so I knew she needed to get her energy out. I let her walk down the aisle instead of ride. On one aisle this guy saw Camryn skipping and I told her to come back. The guy looked at Camryn and said, "STOP! Get back down here!". I looked at him kind of surprised and Camryn just laughed. She's not the kind of kid to take orders from strangers. When she came back to me he told me she just needed to hear a voice of authority. Just then, Camryn started skipping the other way. The man yelled at my child again!!! He said, "STOP RIGHT NOW! STOP!". Camryn took one look at him and started running! I had to take my cart with groceries and Taylor inside and start running after my child. The crazy man had scared her to death and she wasn't stopping. When I finally caught her she said, "I not stopping. I keep running. I gotta go!". I don't blame her! I wanted to run as fast as I could too!

The other day Camryn found a bug on the playroom floor. She came up to me and said, "Momma, ders a bug on duh floor. Here." She handed me her Barbie. "Kill it with Barbie." Now that's one thing I never even thought of using.

When we go to the mountains, we always go to a place called Piggy Park for ice cream. We were standing in line with some other people and it was a little crowded. I looked down and Camryn walked up to a lady, grabbed her butt and then kept walking. When the lady turned around, all she saw was me!! She thought I grabbed her butt! She totally set me up. When we asked her why she did that she said she thought the lady was Mimi.

Name That Business!!!

We are very excited to announce that Jason is going to be starting his own business!! He has worked so hard over the years to finish his Civil Engineering Tech. degree and passed all 3 survey tests. I could not be more proud of him!! He will still be working at the same company but he will also have his own land surveying business. He has worked out a deal with his company so that he can do extra work for them and some on the side if he wants (or has time). Soooo, here is my question. What should we name his business? We have to come up with a name so we can start getting things started. I was pretty much set on Hottie Tottie Land Surveyors but Jason doesn't want to sound conceited.:) We are looking for good suggestions. We obviously have to pick a name that hasn't already been taken. Palmetto, Atlantic Coast, Tricounty, and Tidewater are all taken. We want to be creative but we don't want to sound unprofessional. I would love to hear your suggestion!!! If we pick your suggestion to be the name of the company...........
we'll say thank you:) What?! We're not seeing the money yet! I can't buy you anything!!! How about a big ole hug? Love you all!!!!
