Here's a cute picture of Cameron. He was laying on Fern's lap. Fern said I'm supposed to explain that he looked so happy because he was with her. While I agree with this theory, I must point out something: Wasn't he looking at ME while I took the picture? Boo-Yah!
Our friends, Ryan and Natalie, are camping the entire week with Natalie's family. Of course when we found out about it, we rudely invited ourselves up for one evening, which happened to be tonight. We had a blast, Natalie's family is very tolerant of us and we always have fun with them. Natalie asked me to bring a salad to contribute towards dinner. Well, my last name is 'Sweet' so of course I did an unhealthy salad (oxymoron?), which is simple, yet divine!
First I cut up 3 Granny Smith apples.
Then I took 3 frozen King Size Snickers bars out of the freezer, put them in a ziploc bag, and used a hammer (and some pent up aggression) to smash the candy bar into little pieces. I added these to the apple pile.
And finally, I added a large container of Cool Whip and mixed everything up.
It seems bizarre and maybe kind of gross...but it's actually super good! See? Sam loves it so much he wants to marry it. Just try it and then you can judge it!!
Here's some fun pics from the evening in the canyon. OH yeah, Parker only got hurt about three times. Once when he banged his head on the side mirror of a truck, once when he fell over backwards on his camping chair, and another time when he tripped. Not too bad for him!
Two final thoughts:
I'm getting my hair colored on Thursday so we all don't have to look at my ugly gray hair for much longer. Phew! Let's all take a moment to thank Pat and Carl for passing along those genes from the dirty gene pool. :)
We had Cameron's 4 month appointment last week. He weighs 15 lbs 3 oz and is almost 25 inches long. His head is plain ol' goofy. We're going up to Primary Children's hospital on the 23rd to meet with a head specialist. He'll determine if Cameron's bone plates in his head fused too soon or if something else is going on...it will probably result in a helmet. I'm okay about it because I knew something would need to fix the off-center ears and bulge on his forehead. Luckily insurance has started paying for helmets! My pediatrician suggested we decorate the helmet like a hockey player and perhaps get Cameron a mouthpiece that looks like he's lost some teeth...not a half bad idea! I guess I'll just wait until the 23rd to find out what we're going to do for the little guy.
Whew, I smell like campfire so bad. I better go.

in that really cute picture of cameron on my mom's lap, if you look at the bottom you'll see her finger next to a... toe? hmm.. now i really wonder why he's smiling...
Looks like there were scones and guitar playing, also. What a fun night. You really know the best parties to crash!
I have made that very same salad except instead of apples I used crushed pineapple and instead of a candy bar I used fudge striped cookies from Wal-mart. It was really good. I am going to try your way now.
Good luck with Cameron's head. Landon might be sporting a helmet along with Cameron, although maybe not because he does stay on the other side of his head when I lay him down. Either way, I have sympothy because I do know it is possible for Landon.
I have no way to respond... when i have grandkids, i hope they are just like carson, parker and cameron- they are the best!! I know my other nieces and nephews are awesome, but I didn't have as much time with them-- thus unable to influence their adorable personalities--- wait, did i just dis' myself?? the office has no air cond. today, it is hot, hot, hot, and i am not in my right mind. hahaha
First of all: Camerons smile is awesome.
Second of all: I've had that "salad" before too. Minus the apples and whipped cream. It's delicious!
Third of all: I laughed out loud at Parkers camping injury incidents. But I only laughed because I'm sure you did too.
Last of all: Thursday is going to be a great day!
Nothing but love!!!
1) I LOVE that salad.
2) I think you should just go natural so you can start getting senior citizen disocunts.
3) Why does Natalie Kay Service comment on everyone's blog but mine?
4)Your kid is the most accident prone child EVER.
That picture is dang cute!
Also, I have had that salad and it is weird yummy! Anything with cool whip and snickers has to be good right?
Good luck with the Primary's appointment. Hopefully he is seeing Dr. Walker, he's the best. We originally saw another guy with Ginny who didn't even check her for the right thing. We ended up having to take another trip up, but luckily got a great Dr the second time around!
i love that you call something with snickers and cool whip in it a "salad"!
and the helmet might really come in handy for cameron, since he DOES have two older brothers that love to rough house!
Cameron has beautiful eyes!Snickers salad... yumm!
BYU-I food service acutually makes that same salad. There might be another ingredient they add but it's basically the same thing. Yummy!
