April was a little boring!

We did manage to get the front yard all cleaned up, all my flowers and pots planted, and the backyard is a continued work in progress! We got our new shed, it's huge! To alleviate the lack of storage space in our home, and we got the patio cleaned up, some new sod laid, a tree cut down, and dumpster day accomplished. 
Of course, Cameron had us entertained as usual, sometimes naughty, sometimes sweet, and always innocent! 
We found a KSL deal voucher for a month of discount toddler karate class, and since Cameron has been way into Kung Fu Panda, we signed him up. I never know where some of the things he says come from, but one particularly funny day right before his first karate class, he was playing with his Kung Fu Panda action figures, and he blurted out, "trust me. You kicka your butt!!" It was pretty funny! 
He loved doing the obstacle courses and fun exercises during his class time- I think that if we can find a more convenient location for lessons, we will keep him in Karate! 

We did celebrate Dan's birthday- And another sweet moment happened while I was out shopping. Cameron and I were trying to find Dan a birthday present- he's hard to buy for, because he never wants anything- and we were browsing in Deseret Book. Well, DB has these cheesy Book of Mormon and Bible figures. Cameron got so excited over them, that I just had to let him pick one guy. He finally settled on Enos the Prophet. When we got to the car, he asked me to open his new guy please. I opened him and handed him the figure- he exclaims- "oh Mom, this is pretty. It's Jesus, Mom." 

I got in the car, and started to drive away, and he pulls out his little toy woody, and proceeded to have Woody play with Jesus. It was really sweet. I love when he says things like this, or just bursts out in song- Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam! I hope he always knows who his Savior is! 

On to the next shenanigan- Cameron hasn't had a ton of interest in coloring- it doesn't hold his attention long, so we don't do it often, or for very long. He has become more interested in it as he is maturing and going to school, so he gets to color more often. Well, up until this day, I have avoided the common toddler shenanigan of coloring everywhere but paper. Dan and I were in the backyard, and he had been out with us, but had let himself back in the house. It was close to lunch time, so I followed not long after and came in to find he had colored on everything- even fresh duck eggs. I was humbled- because I had secretly been carrying this pride about that my son hadn't nor would he ever do such a thing!!! I guess some trials of parenting happen to us all!! 

We ended April with our friends the Jessop's for their 2nd daughter Addi's

first birthday!! We had a fun evening at the park, where Cameron so kindly "helped" open presents, and played with one of his best friends. He also gave Daddy a turn in the swings!
