Party!!!!

Friday night Ronda threw a party for all her friends to meet her family. Her parents were in town from Texas. It was fun to meet all of her family. We always have so much fun with Ronda!!!

Tatum loves Cameron so much. She wanted him the whole night. At one point in time he gave her to me so he could get a drink and she got right off my lap and put her face in her hands and started crying. Her little heart was broken that Cameron gave her to me. She went right over to Cameron and grabbed his hand and led him outside to play. It is so fun to see them together and how much she loves him.

Wow I am so white compared to my mom and Ronda. Sorry if I am blinding you with my whiteness :)

Thanks for a fun party Ronda and for letting us meet your family!!!!

Best Family in the World!!!

I have the best family in the world!!!! I love them so much and couldn't ask for a better family. Most people know that the past couple years have been really hard for Cam and I as we have been dealing with infertility. There has been many days filled with tears, frustration, anger, sadness, just about every emotion you could possibly think. Cameron and my family have always been there for me. I can't even count how many times that I have called Cam, my mom and my sisters just bawling and they know exactly what to say and do to comfort me. I love that they cry with me and help me feel better. They have been there supporting us with every decision we have made when it comes to all the infertility treatments we have done and my surgery.
After many failed treatments and through much prayer we realized that there was a different plan for us when it came to starting our family. We both received the answer that the way we are suppose to start our family is through ADOPTION!!!! We both are so excited. I am not going to lie, it was hard for me to accept that I may never carrie my own child, and feel them kicking me and being able to nurse my baby, but I must say I have never felt more peace and comfort about the decision we have made to adopt. Both of our families have been so supportive and excited about our decision. They get more and more excited with us as we all learn more about adoption together and get closer to having our profile online (which should be online this week!!!).
I can't thank my family enough for all the love and support they give us. We can't wait for our baby to join our family!!!! I will try and post more often as we continue this journey to starting our family but you can always visit our adoption blog camandstacyadoption.blogspot.com

Cam's Birthday!!!

Tonight we celebrated Cameron's birthday. It was a lot of fun. We had it over at our clubhouse which worked out so nice because the kids could watch a movie or run around and play outside and then we were able to set table and chairs up so that we all had a place to sit. It is always fun to have all of our family together. We missed Kira but other than that everyone in our immediate families were there. How awesome is that!!!! Here are some pictures from the party. Happy Birthday Cameron. I love you!!!!

Tatum gets jealous if you are holding Bridger. It is so cute so you end up holding both of them. I could snuggle them all day!!!!

Me and my mom being weird. We think we are so funny sometimes. I love that my mom will act crazy with me.

Grandpa with the little cuddlers

Cameron has so much fun with Tatum and she loves him. It is so cute to see her get so excited to see him!

This is my Grandma Davis and Grandma Barton. I am so glad they both came. It has been awhile since we have seen them. We are horrible at visiting them and need to be better. I was so excited when my mom told me they were coming.

Glimpse of Motherhood

This weekend I got a glimpse of motherhood. We watched my sister Jana's kids all weekend. They came over on Friday and we took them back this afternoon. It was a lot of fun. She has four kids aging from 9 years old to 18 months. They all were really good. So let me explain why this experience gave me a glimpse of motherhood. So they came over Friday afernoon and we had a pizza party that night. Then it was bedtime. Tatum has been a stinker when it comes to sleeping and this night was no different. She wanted to be held to sleep so I ended up down on the couch holding her all night so she would sleep. Well morning came and Cameron went off to work and I was doing Anneka's hair and she asked to go to the bathroom but before she made it to the toilet she started throwing up. No warning or anything. I felt so bad for her. She is such an angel and felt so bad about making the bathroom a mess. She apologized all weekend about it. Anyway I got that all cleaned up and then a little bit later Tatum rolled down the stairs. She didn't get hurt, it just scared her. Then that night Corbin said his stomach hurt. Well I didn't know if it was true or he just didn't want to eat because Anneka wasn't eating and he kept playing and jumping around. Well I was wrong. At 2:00 am Corbin woke up throwing up. The three older kids were all sleeping on the air mattress together, so it woke everyone up. Anneka and Griffin were scared so Cameron took them downstairs while I helped Corbin get cleaned up. After getting everything cleaned up we went back to sleep. Luckily Tatum stayed asleep through it all even when we had to turn the lights on. When I got back in bed I just started laughing. It was so funny to me everything that had happened and that we were up at 2 in the morning cleaning up puke. By the time we took them home they were feeling better but not 100%. Hopefully they will be all the way better tomorrow and hopefully Tatum doesn't get sick.
Anyway, I know that was long but it was a fun and eventful weekend I wanted to share. I am so thankful my sisters live close with their kids so that we can see them all the time. It was fun to spend the weekend with them. I am also very grateful that I am able to go up and help my other sister Katie with her little one Bridger and see all her kids weekly. He is so cute and fun to snuggle. Being able to help my sisters with their kids makes me more excited to be a mom someday. It makes my desire to be a mom even stronger. Hopefully some day soon it will happen. Also, it makes me excited for Cameron to be a dad someday. He is so cute will all of our nieces and nephews and they love him so much!!!

New Addition!!

There is a new addition in the Barton family. My sister Katie had her baby boy about a week ago. He is so dang cute. I love holding and snuggling him. Cameron is so cute with him. It makes me excited for one day having our own and watching Cameron with our own kids. (no I am not pregnant if I just made it sound like I am) Anyway, I thought I had pictures on my camera but I don't so I will post pictures of him when I get them from my dad. Oh and they named him Bridger Barton Call!!! Congratulations Katie, Aaron, Peyton and Lincoln. We are so excited to have another nephew!!!

First sewing project

Some of you may remember awhile ago I posted that Cameron gave me a sewing machine for my birthday. I don't know how to sew but I wanted one so I could learn. I have not used it and Cameron keeps asking me when I am going to start sewing. Well today was the day. I pulled it out, read the manual and starting sewing. The end result was this blanket I made for my niece Anneka. I know it is probably the easiest thing to make but I was proud of myself. It is not at all perfect. As you can tell it is not completely straight but I think it is pretty good for my first sewing project. I can't wait to make more and try making other stuff. Fabric stores here I come!!
