Hamming it up!

My loveable, spontaneous, free spirited, dare-devil... that would be Kameron. Words can't really describe his personality. He is ALL BOY.

Loveable - he loves to sit in the chair in someone's lap (especially daddy's) and cuddle at night. It ends his world if he gets in trouble and has to go straight to bed without having "daddy lap time" at bedtime. He still sleeps in bed with us EVERY night. He always falls asleep in his own bed, but usually around midnight to 1am he wakes up and crawls in our bed. We are so used to it that we don't even wake up when he comes into our bed anymore.

Spontaneous - most of the time, this is NOT a good thing. For example, last night the boys were playing around in the livingroom. Kameron got a hockey stick and was swinging it around and cocked his brother right in the nose... blood everywhere. Oy! He wasn't trying to hurt his brother... but his spontaneousness has him do things before thinking them through.

Free-spirited - What can I say here? He dances to his own beat. He doesn't give in to peer pressure.

Dare-devil - unless that peer pressure stated above is telling him to jump off the top of a garbage can onto a mini trampoline and onto a skateboard... then he'll do it. Have I mentioned we've been to the emergency room once with a cracked head and I see more trips to the ER in the future?

I am sure you can see some of his personality in the following pictures:

Barnum & Bailey Circus

I know, I know... it's been a LONG time since I blogged... don't shoot me! I told you this is all new to me. So, just be patient... sheesh! :)


In June, we went to the always entertaining Barnum & Bailey circus. I have always gone to this circus growing up and this year was one of the best that I remember. It's still the same dare devil stunts but with a fun twist. There was a main character named "Bello" that was secretly "in love" with one of the pretty lady performers. Bello would make appearances in between most acts and would even perform several of the stunts in order to get close to his love. It was a cute story to watch. I don't know who enjoyed it more... me or the boys. Kaleb says his favorite part is the lions. Kameron's favorite is the clowns. That doesn't surprise me!

Kaleb loves to take pictures and he was in charge of the camera when we first got to the Ford Center downtown. He is the one that took the lovely picture of us. See the upward perspective? LOL. The second picture is one I took of the boys trying on circus clothes. Before the circus started, they had alot of fun things for the kids to do in the arena... ride an elephant, be in an interactive show with the clowns, watch an elephant paint a picture (for real!), etc.







So, I'll leave you with some parting shots that Kaleb & I took of some of the circus acts. We can't wait until the circus next year!
