Friday, Saturday, & Sunday Mornings...

You could say our family is addicted to Starbucks. Before Cameron was born, we used to go get our coffee on the weekend and take a drive around town. Back then we would probably get in the car around 9:00 a.m., and get home an hour our so later. Well this past year we have had to get creative. So now when Cameron wakes up on the weekends between 5:45 and 6:15 we feed him breakfast let him play a little, and then it's off to Starbucks. Only now instead of our tour of town, we head straight to the beach! He still has his p.j.'s on, we just bundle him up. He loves it. Sometimes he crawls all around other times he likes to pull himself up on to a log. Let me tell you there is never anybody there so we get the whole beach to ourselves. We are able to do all of this and be home by 8:30 a.m. Since having this little guy our days are much longer! No more sleep in's.

Kaden Is Here

As most of you know both of my sisters are/were pregnant...That is until today Amy and Scott welcomed baby Kaden Drew to their family at 7:03 am. He weighed 8lbs 7oz, which is pretty big for our family. He is 20 inches long. We are all so excited he is finally here, after all she delivered 12 days late! Congratulations Scott & Amy!

OK so I have missed posting several events and I'm a little over whelmed by it so I decided to just list the events.

#1 my birthday....Paul took Cameron and I to Leavenworth over night. We had a great time just the 3 of us. Cameron had his first taste of ice cream. He was in heaven!

Next Cousin Jenkins turns 2.... Happy Birthday little buddy! We love you....

Finally an Echelbarger tradition....The Beach party! We spent the day playing with cousin Jenkins at the beach and the evening dancing on the back lawn with a live band. A very fun weekend indeed!

Eat or Sleep?

I am so far behind right now on posting everything that we have been up to lately. I just had to share this cute video from yesterday to get be back into the blogging groove. Hope everyone is enjoying the summer!

Day Trip....

To Plain Washington. Saturday morning we packed up Cameron and headed over Stevens Pass. We had two goals in mind here. Mine was relaxing and catching up with Sandy and Paul's was kite boarding on Lake Wenatchee. Both were accomplished and we all had a great time. Thanks Sandy and Steve for having us over!

Zoo Day...

Today we spent a fun day at the zoo with Leslie and the girls, as well as Ashley and Jenk's...The animals were feeling social so the kids got to see most of the main attractions. Cameron has a ways to go before he looks at what I'm trying to point out to him. Les did have some success with the otters that were swimming right in front of his face though. I think the best part for every kid is waiting for that treat at the end of the visit. I think Cameron's favorite part was getting to change into Ava's pink sweat pants cause mommy bought Kirkland diapers for the first time and they apparently leak really bad! Oh yes I did have a change of clothes for him like I have always done since the day he was born...I just left them in the car, because we have never needed them and I didn't want to take anymore extra gear. Lesson learned! Thanks girls for a fun day!

Today Cousin Jenk's came over to swim in our little plastic pool. The boy's had a lot of fun. Before we could get a suit on Jenkins he was already having a blast naked in the pool. So Cameron followed in the no bathing suit trend. That's why there are not any pictures posted of the kids in the pool.

I had no idea that Cameron could really scoot around in the pool by himself (with a watchful eye of course). Usually I hang on to him, and make him sit up and splash with his hands. He had a lot more fun today and so did his Mama!
