A New Arrival in September

September 10, 2010 was the big day ~ my water broke a little after 8 am so we got packed and ready for our little guy's arrival...we snapped this picture as we dropped Rowan off with a dear friend around 10 o'clock right before heading to the hospital.

Creed Maclain Camphuysen was welcomed into the world at 3:43 pm. He weighed in at 7 lbs 12 1/2 ounces and measured 20 inches.

The Patterson Grandparents and Aunt Jolene brought Caiden & Rowan to greet their new brother later that evening. Raistlyn arrived the next morning

Creed is a sweet, mellow little guy. His siblings love him so much. He's made our home an even happier place.

Rowan Turned 3 in August

We celebrated with a Fairy Style bash at one of our favorite indoor climbling places that has a giant indoor tree with a slide. Rowan is all 'girly' and totally in to all things Fairy....especially Tinkerbelle and all her friends. She loves to play dress up and play with her tiny dolls.

Caiden is Four!

Merry Christmas 2009

Raistlyn, Caiden & Rowan wishing you a
Merry Christmas
from the bottom of their sweet, little hearts!

Halloween '09

Hardeman Science Hat Parade '09

Each school year Hardeman Elementary celebrates Halloween by having a Science Hat Parade. Each child is given a science related vocabulary word and instructed to fashion a hat representing that word. This is what we came up with for the word Energy - a ginormous sun - you could see Raistlyn coming down the hall from a distance with her giant spikey sun Mika's word was Adaptation

Jake's was Lakes

Darian's was Heat

Celebrating My Birthday in Fabulous Fall Fashion

My birthday just so happened to fall on a beautiful Friday this year so I pulled the girls out of school a bit early and headed out for some Fall Fun. We took Raistlyn's BFF Mikayla to Build-a-Bear Workshop to celebrate her 9th birthday. They picked out such cute animals - I couldn't believe that Caiden picked the Turkey - he's got such a cute personality!

(Check out Caide's black eye due to a little too much rough-housing with his big sister.)

These are pics from our annual trip to the pumpkin patch in Flower Mound. It's always a blast, though it was dang muddy from all the rain we had been having.
