life is crazy!

We got back Monday evening from a fabulous 4 day trip to Lake Travis and Cameron started his first day of preschool yesterday. I'm so mad at myself- last night we were rushing out the door to meet the IL's for my MIL's birthday, and I accidentally deleted the pictures I took of Cam yesterday for his first day. :(
ANYWAYS, had a great time at the lake.... all except for the minor near death experience when my FIL almost ran head on into a cliff, and wrecked the boat. We are all injury free, but only by a few seconds. If my neice had not screamed when she had, who knows what would have happened. I shudder to think. Other than that, it was great time- good for all us I think to just hang out together.... reconnect... Cameron absolutely loves hanging out with his cousins, and they are so sweet to Megan all the time- it's so adorable. Spent most of our time on the boat (as you can see from the almost 400 pics on Flickr, if you take the time to look) and the weather was great the entire time. Jenni and I did a mini photo shoot of the kiddos Saturday morning to surprise Anita for her birthday- the outtakes are pretty amusing.
The Cameronisms are pretty funny from the trip- Sunday out on the boat we were cruising the lake and Cameron said,"Watch out for that orange kid!" to his Papa.
"What orange kid?"
"That orange kid right there!" We were all looking around towards the shore for some kid in orange or something.
"Right there, in the water!"
"You mean the buoy?"
"Yeah, that's what I said. The boy! That kid!"
"Oh, honey, it's buoy not boy."

Every time Brent would ski Cameron would say he was walking on water. He's dying to walk on water too. We're going ski shopping for next year to get him out there on some small ones. "Walk on water" will definitely be the title of the layout I do (someday) of the guys skiing. He tubed a few times on his own this time for the first time and loved it, and he loved 'driving' the boat with Papa and going fast. We nicknamed Megan "Tator Tot" because of her life vest- she looked so hilarious in it.

Cameron's first day of school went off without a hitch- only a few tears (by me) when he went in- all smiles in and all smiles out. He did at least say he missed Megan and I while he was gone. :) That makes me feel a little better. I'm always glad he's happy to be there, but I don't want him too happy. :P
