Our mommy helped us make this book
so we could share with you
some of the fun we have each day,
year in and year out, too!
We know we grow so much each year
and time goes by so fast,
so we send this gift to you
to help make memories last.
We hope it will render smiles
and bring us closer to you
across the mountains and miles
we send our love to you!
And when you get to missing us
or feeling a little blue,
just open up this special book
and feel us there with you!
Hugs and Kisses,
Kameron and Kenna
It had traced copies of your little hands and feet and I had printed Crackups from Kenna and Kameron Quotes on them. Neither of your toes ever changed except for growing a little larger!
Crackups from Kenna:
When Kameron was sent to his room for sticking his tongue out at Mom (!), Kenna sat quietly thinking. After a few eyebrow furrowing moments, she looked up very seriously and said, "Mama, when I do this (stuck out her tongue), I'm not really sticking out my tongue. It just means my tongue needs some fresh air!" Age 3
"Witched" Witch (after seeing the Wizard of Oz Wicked Witch)
Piggy Pack (Piggy Back)
Pack-Pack (Backpack)
Dolly Dolly (Holly Hobby doll)
Pit (put)
Bag ("Did you try to beg?")
Tarred (tired)
Lobster, rooster (Her new hampster)
Hide and Sink
Are you sure there aren't any sharps in this pool? (Sharks!)
Her favorite outfit:
Pink-striped Overhauls and black shiny tapping leather shoes!
Quotes from Kameron
"Mom, when I grow up, I'm going to be an archeotect and dig up old things!"
Mom: "Well, hon, that sounds pretty neat. But I think an archeologist digs up old things and an architect draws blueprints and plans."
Kameron: "I know and I'm gonna draw up the plans so we know where to dig up the old stuff!"
Age 4
Mom (30 and aging fast..) "Boy, Kameron, I sure would like to just stay home from work and watch this old movie on tv today."
Kameron: "Well, Mom, so would I, but you know, that's just the way life is!"
Age 5
On aforementioned birthday, Mom and Kameron were pulled over by a CHP Officer. He asked to see my license. Kameron leaned over me to look up at him and asked, "Are you gonna arrest my mom?" "No, son." replied the officer. "Good!" said Kameron with an audible sigh, "because I don't know how to drive this car home!" Age 5 1/2
While riding up the chairlift towards the ski slopes with Kameron, I was casually swinging my dangling legs back and forth. He gave me a very funny look and said quite seriously, "Mom, these chairlifts have motors in them. You don't have to pump!" Age 5
Dad: "Come on, Kameron, get dressed."
Kameron: "I don't want to. It's too much trouble."
Dad: "What do you mean, it's too much trouble? Why?"
Kameron: "Because you have to move your body around so much!"
Kameron: "Dad, why do you get mad at people you love?"
Dad: "I don't know, honey. That's a good question."
Kameron: "No, it's not. It's a bad question!"
When Kameron saw his baby sister for the first time, he noticed the tiny red birthmark between her eyebrows (that showed up faintly the rest of her life if she got overheated!) and said "Oh, look, she has an owie!" and promptly kissed it to make it "all better."
And thus began the big brother, little sister relationship....complex, competitive, belly-laughing funny, loving...
