I have a monkey!

So long to the days of, "Oh, he can't reach that, we can leave that there!" That's right, Decovin not only can climb up onto the couch, he can now climb up on the coffee table and kitchen chairs...everything is fair game now!

Yesterday, I was in the computer room checking my email, like I do, when all of a sudden I hear Gwen Stefani BLARING in the living room...I run in there and Decovin is sitting on top of the coffee table next to the stereo where he had switched it from TV to RADIO...he was very pleased with himself and bouncing up and down to the music...

*sigh* He's growing up too fast!

Another cute sidenote, Decovin has also figured out how to ride his Power Wheels that we got for him. He will crawl on the 4-wheeler and/or the go kart and he knows he has to push the button down and hold it in order for it to go...as for steering...well, that is talent that he has yet to master...one day he will avoid the walls! :-)

This past weekend was super fun! Amanda, as you all know, graduated from Des Moines University and is now officially: Dr. Amanda D. Camden, D.O.
Sounds so fancy! We are all so proud of her and still can't believe we have a doctor in the family! So cool!

Amanda invited me to go to one of her banquets the night before the graduation and so we got all dolled up and went to it first and then later we met up with some of her other friends at a martini bar called "The Lift" in downtown area. It was super fun and I was so glad she invited me. Plus, who doesn't love a good martini?! ;-)

Saturday was the graduation and it was only 2 hours long...I thought that was pretty good for a bunch of doctor's graduating! We all cheered her on when she walked across the stage....take a look for yourself:



It was a good time! Congrats again Doc!

Other than that, not much else is happening...we leave Friday for our mini-vacation to Arkansas to visit my Aunt Mendy and Uncle Jim for a few days and to go camping one night at Mount Magazine State Park...should be interesting anyway! :-) It will be D's first time camping...(which is why we are only going one night...lol!) I will be sure to let you know how things went!

JP OUT!
