Roscoe Village



On Saturday we spent the day at Roscoe village with the cameron family.v There was me, scott, macie, kirk, amanda, brady, bethy, ron, ginny, cara and aunt bonnie. It was so hot out i could hardly believe it but vother than that the weather was great for the day. We spent the day looking at different little shops and things and also watching a civil war reenactment although amanda and I had to take the little ones inside the bakery because the cannons and guns were way to loud for their ears. Bonnie bought the girls these adorable lttle bonnett's and brady a little toy. I love macie's hat it goes perfect with her blue eyes and she just looks so cute in it, all the ladies at church today were going nuts over it:)

thanks aunt bonnie. After that we went to bob evans for dinner which was really yummy. By then the girls were pooped though and ready to konk out which they did on the way home. It was a fun day though I really enjoyed getting to hang out with everyone especially aunt bonnie who we dont get to see too often since she lives in Indiana. I also really like riding with Kirk and amanda and just talking and hanging out with them:) thanks for a great day everyone....we are looking forward to the family reunion next weekend!!!

She's on the move:)


So its been about a month and a half now that we have been trying to get macie to crawl but after trying and trying we didnt seem to be getting anywhere. She would try to crawl or drag her legs behind her i should say but most of the time she would be going backwards. We bought her toys to put on the floor that move and thought maybe that would encourage her to go after it but nope, we would get on the floor with her and try to bend her knees up to help her and nope that didnt work either. But friends I am hear to say that on tuesday july 11th macie finally started crawling and it was awesome. I actually teared up a little like a big dork because i realized what a big girl she is becoming and its hard to believe how quickly time has gone. So we are very proud our little macie is now crawling and getting into everything i should add;)

She's got skills; well kinda anyways:)


So recently macie has been trying harder than ever to feed herself like a big girl. Just last saturday i sat down to eat a salad and layed macie on the floor with her bottle to hold herself and after a few minutes i kept hearing her giggle at something. I thought oh she must be laughing at the dog because she does that all the time, so i didnt think anything else about it and then after a few more minutes i realized she was still cracking up at something. So i get up and go down to the floor where she way laying and this is what i find:



She wasnt feeding herself she was being a big goof and just playing with her bottle. I was dying laughing i couldnt believe how much formula she had gotten all over her face. It was all over her eyelids and in her hair it looked like she had dots all over her:) oh man what a crazy kid.

Other than that little incident she has been doing pretty well. She loves eating yougurt for breakfast every morning and she is getting pretty good at holding french fries and crackers. We are still working on getting her to drink her formula from a sippy cup which has been tough but i think its going better now.

Busy Weekend!!!

Wow what an amazing but extremely busy weekend!!! Friday night I worked while scott and macie hung out for the evening and did some things around the house. Saturday i slept for a few hours, macie went to her grandma stone's for the day and scott worked. The we had to be at the church at 3:30 to practice for mosaic before the cookout started at 5:00. I am so overjoyed at the turnout we had on saturday it was amazing. I am not sure exactly how many we had but it was exciting to see them have to bring out more tables for all the people we had:) After mosaic scott and I came home and hung out with his friend unger whom he roomed with in college. Thanks for coming down unger we always enjoy having you:). I decided to go to bed a little early however and scott stayed up and made bottles and cleaned up the house bless his heart:) On Sunady we got up early for church since we had to be there by 8:00 to get ready for the service. Scott and I were talking last night about how neat it was to see the reactions of the congregation to the mosaic team leading the worship and also to the message pastor powell preached. I really could see some lives changed. I also realized during that service that personally lately i have allowed myself to become somewhat complacent in my faith and i know in scott and I's marriage and also as parents to macie....i am just really looking forward to walking away from there and pressing even harder to be where God wants me to be in that first chair comepletely in love with Him.

Sunday evening scott and I took swimming at linda and vanessa's house which was really nice of them to let us come over:) thanks guys. Macie absolutely loves the water she is like a little fish. She just splashes and splashes away forever.



We are all tuckered out now after such a long weekend but ready to tackle another week of who knows what;)

Take me out to the ballgame!!!

Yesterday macie and I hung out for the day and went shopping for a new outfit to wear to church on sunday morning. After daddy got home from work at 5:30 we went to the ball park to watch his church softball game. Macie and I sat in the shade, ate stale cheestos we found in the diaper bag from who knows how long ago, and cheered our main man on;) The Naz appostles won by 1 point after a close game against peace community church. Good job daddy we are very proud of you:)

After we got home scott tried to weed the forest next door to our house since the people that used to live there moved and nobody has been mowing it. It took him awhile to try and get it cut down enough so that he could mow over the rest. It ended up being so much work on his part but we had to do it because we were starting to get ticks and funky looking bugs in our yard from all the weeds:( Macie and I were a huge help as you can imagine;) i just worked on watering the flowers while macie watched baby einstein and tried to tear our house apart, so i had to bring her outside with us. We finally got dinner around 9:00 and then watched the rest of king arthur on t.v. and went to bed early for once.

Oh by the way macie loves her ball popper now she was cracking up at it yesterday for like a half hour...so mission accomplished!!!

Macie's First 4th of July


I can't believe how big macie is getting and to top it off she celebrated her first 4th of july yesterday. Macie wore her red, white and blue outfit that mommy and great grandma delores bought for her last year at this time when she hadnt even been born yet. We had a great day hanging out with friends, and can't wait for scott to get home tonight:)

A day at the Marion Fair:)

So monday afternoon macie, stephanie, crystal and I all went to the fair for a few hours to get some grub and boy did we eat. We were cracking up at stephanie because by time we got our food she was finished with her corndog and ready to move on to the next food stand:) We had hot dogs, corndogs, gyros, lemonade, and caramel covered fruit;) The food was so good I almost want to go back today and get more:) Then we had an almost fatal incident with an angry pig. After we ate we decided to walk through the pig barn to try and find a pig of one of the youth group kids that crystal and her husband have at church. Well i dont think we found his pig but we sure did find a pig, an angry one that is. It was out of its cage and they were tryiing to lead it back in and it was so mad it started squealing and making all these funny noises and then it came towards us which we were freaking out about, but it was kind of funny to see us 3 city slickers as scott calls it just all grossed out and scared over a bunch of pigs that smelled really bad, oh dear i dont think we will be doing that again anytime soon.

Poor macie was knocked out asleep right after we got there and missed almost the whole thing.
She finally woke up at that end and i gave her some cotton candy which she loved.

So other than eating we just walked around and got some good pics, especailly the one of crystal and the marion mayhem mascott that she begged us to take:).haha, j/k.


After that we came home and macie and I chilled for a few hours and then spent a few hours hanging out at phillip and crystals house. I definitely miss my scottie bo boddie and can't wait for him to come home wednesday night:)
