Camryn and Daddy Fun!

Camryn LOVES her daddy! She really does think he is the greatest! Paul can always get her to smile and laugh no matter what. Camryn is always so excited to see Paul whether he is coming home from work, or even just coming back upstairs after being gone for 5 minutes! One of the first things Camryn learned to say was "Hi Daddy" and it is still probably one of the things she says the most. (A close second is "Doggy") The picture below is of Paul taking a nap and Camryn taking advantage of the situation. She saw that Paul was asleep and decided that she needed to watch TV with him. So she climbed up on top of him and plopped herself down and then proceeded to watch the TV. I thought it was so cute! After she sat there for a good 15 minutes she leaned over and gave Paul a kiss (more like a head butt) and then got down to go play. She is so funny sometimes! The next picture I LOVE! The little castle was an early Christmas present from Grandma Goodwin. Camryn LOVES to hang out in it. But what she likes more is when there is somebody inside to enjoy it with her. Camryn and Paul are such good buddies!

Grandma Goodwin Visit!

We recently were lucky enough to have a visit from Paul's mom Debra! We had such a great time hanging out with her! I think Camryn especially liked having Grandma around. She got to play, chatter, and eat treats with her all week! Debra even brought Christmas a little early with her. The video below is of Debra and Camryn putting together a new toy, and Camryn was VERY pleased and excited about it!

We sure enjoyed having Debra visit and we are looking forward to seeing her again soon! We love you Debra!!!

100th Post!

Wow!!! I've done 100 posts! Kinda crazy. Anyway.

Today was a busy day! I needed to do some serious cleaning and Camryn was a super busy body today too. So when we went out to do some errands, I decided it was time to bust out Camryn's winter coat. She is SO CUTE!!! She can barely put her arms down and it reminds me of the movie A Christmas Story. She was pretty pleased about it though. I'm pretty sure she liked it! Today I also got to see TWILIGHT!!! I thought that they did a really good job! In fact, if anyone wants to go see it (or see it again) I would love to go see it again!

Also, I was "tagged" today as well! By being "tagged" I answer some questions (which I'll do) and then at the end I tag others to do the same thing. It is a fun way of getting to know people.

These Boots Were Made For Walking!

Camryn found these in my closet and took them to her daddy. You can see what the result was. One very pleased little girl!

Ninjas and Pumpkins...

Ninjas and pumpkins don't mix. Camryn is a little girl not easily scared... but that all changed when she was faced with the pumpkin that I carved for Halloween. I guess I made it to scary this year. More on that to come. Anyway, as I posted before Camryn was a ninja for Halloween! Paul and Camryn loved running around the house yelling and posing like ninjas. It was pretty cute and funny! I tried to get some good pictures to show her costume.

So here is the tragedy photos and video. Camryn looked at the pumpkin for a minute and decided that she did not like it at all!!! She didn't want to go near it! Paul and I both tried to show her that it was ok and that it wasn't going to hurt her. We patted it, poked it, even picked it up and gave it hugs, but Camryn was not convinced.

This is her running away from it. It was pretty traumatic I guess.

This video is kinda long, but I had to include it. We tried! I guess ninjas and pumpkins just don't mix.

Busy Last Couple Days

We have had a busy last couple of days here at the Goodwin residence. My parents were able to come for a nice visit and we stayed pretty busy! We played games, went shopping, ate, but mostly just had fun and enjoyed each others company. Camryn sure loved seeing her grandma and grandpa! I think she thought they were pretty fun to play with! On Saturday, we drove up to Stillwater, MN and made a little day trip out of it. The weather was gorgeous and I don't think could've picked a better day out of the week to go! Camryn got a little spoiled too. Her daddy let her try a couple different kinds of candy and she even got her own sucker! She was very pleased to say the least! We also let her try pop rocks... She actually really liked those too! (She is definitely my daughter!) Saturday night was our ward Halloween party! I always look forward to this party! I love to see all the costumes of the kids. This year Camryn is a ninja for Halloween! She is so funny and cute in her little ninja outfit! (Hopefully I will have better photos later on this week.)
Anyways, we just had such a great time visiting with mom and dad! It was so good to see them and to just relax and have fun with them. We just want to say thank you for all the things you've done for us and we love you very much!!! We are going to miss you but we know we will see you soon!

Last Weekend

Last weekend my bestest buddy Brittney and her husband Ryan came out for a quick visit! It was so good to see Brittney and to hang out with the two of them. We played a bunch of games, ate some good food, laughed, told stories, and we even went to the sculpture gardens in Minneapolis. (I just wanted to say to Brittney that I am so glad that you were able to come out for a visit and we really enjoyed spending the weekend with you guys! I hope we can do it again soon!!! I love you Brittney!)

Now, I am very upset with myself that I didn't get a picture of Brittney and I (once again!!!) But I did get a family picture in front of the cherry spoon bridge sculpture that I love! While we were at the gardens, we saw a little chipmunk that was not to scared of people. Paul was able to entice him to come close with Camryn's crackers, and Camryn LOVED it! She thought it was the greatest! She would point at it, look up, and chatter on trying to tell you all about it. It was pretty cute and funny!
Lastly, here is a random picture of Camryn having a great time at dinner. Paul was feeding her, and I think Camryn was showing him just how messy she can get. She sure didn't care how gross it was!
