Camden with Santa!

Camden at Christmas Village in Nashville with Santa

This is just a fun little video of our little guy having some fun with bathtime! It's a little foggy but Daddy did the best he could do in a steamy bathroom. Camden has been a little stuffy so we have been letting him have a little sauna... Hope everyone has a Great Week!

Halloween and Fall Festival

Camden's First Halloween was a blast! We took him to the Fall Festival at the church and he loved every bit of it... You can check him out Here . He loved looking at all the kids and playing some of the games that he could actually do... Camden got to fish for the first time and he dunked a basketball with a little help from Daddy, just a little.. Hope everyone had a safe Halloween.. we had the greatest time with our little Spidey!!!

Pumpkin Carving!

Camden turns 7 months on Friday, he is growing into this adorable little boy that me and Steve and everyone that is around him just cannot get enough of! Grammy bought him a pumkin a couple of weeks ago and Camden had the big helper! We had a blast!
He is getting so strong these days it is so amazing that we have been blessed this much with him in our lives!

Discovering toys, Babbling like his Mommy and turning 6 months this week!

Hi Everyone! I hope you all are having a great week and your having some beautiful weather like we are! It has been really nice for the last couple of days..

Camden turns 6 months this week, We took him to Dr. White's for his check up and he weighed a wopping 17.5 lbs. and he is 26 5/8 inches long. He is growing into this sweet little boy who smiles at everyone especially all the ladies.. When he laughs it's the best stress medicine available.. He laughs alot, chats alot and gives our life joy alot!!!

Camden loves all of his toys~ each day I think he discovers a new way to play with them. He is starting to sit up on his own and loves those feet.

Starting him on baby food was no issue at all, the boy will eay every veggie and fruit that is put on a spoon in front of him. He just loves food, what do we expect he is a McMichael boy.


I got to see his little cousins last week in Columbia while I was working down there. I met Sarah, Becky, Eli, Andrew and Lauren for dinner on Tuesday night and then the boys went with me Wednesday night to meet Sarah, Joe, Derrell and Lauren. I had a great time seeing everyone and stocked up on some Gamecock apparel for Camden.

I have loaded some fun pictures of Camden under our photos if you want to check them out.

I cannot wait for each of you to meet our little "bug"

Talk soon,

Dad's Surprise Visit and Dinner with Mom and Dad!

To say that Mom and Dad missed Camden would be the understatement of the year! Check out the slideshow below to see how much!

Dad came up and surprised all of us to bring Daisy back home and he got to spend some time with Camden before Mom stole all of his sugar at dinner.

We went to dinner at Bosco's in Hillsboro Village, it was great!

They were sure glad to see the little guy being away from him while we were at the beach.

Just Camden!

I just love this picture!

Camden is flying on Saturday!

Hello Everyone!

I know it has been a long time, I have been very busy with work and just trying to get everything in order!

We fly to the beach on Saturday, Camden's first airplane ride..details to follow on how that adventure goes. We are excited to see everyone. All of Steve's immediate family will be there: His mom, Jeff and Becky and the boys ( Eli and Andrew), Rebecca and Larry. So Camden will get to play with his cousins- he has grown a little bit since the last time they saw him! I just can't wait to relax- get my mind off of things!

My birthday was yesterday, I turned 25 again...=)

It was a great day, I got to spend it with Camden. Steve and I celebrated this past weekend. We had a great time together while Mom and Dad watched the little man!

All the cards I received for my birthday were great but this one in particular really hit the spot of friendship it read :



Thank God for Great Friends and Family! I finally got the new GPS I wanted, $100 Gift Certificate to the Spa and a new Coach purse that I love so much! Also this cute mini-digital portable photo album for all of my pictures of Camden!!!

So we are off to the beach Saturday for a week!

Take Care,

Just Camden!

Haven's Birthday

We were able to attend Haven's Birthday Party July 19th. We had so much fun! View some pictures of the fun Here!

Camden turns 4 months and gets his first bite of Cereal!!

Camden turned 4 months on Friday. We sat him in his highchair for the first time, after he figured out it was food, things got better! You can see his enjoyment and screaming~ Here! We love every minute that we spend with our "litte bug". Every second that we get to see him do something new and laugh/smile about it just makes our day!

Becky just called us and told us that little Andrew has the chicken pox, we hope he gets better soon. Maybe he will get a little scar from it and he can say it's actually from forming a web being Spidey! =)

Things have been hectic, getting back to work into the groove of things. We finally a contract on our house, they guy is moving down from Oregon to work at Saturn. He is already working so just waiting to sell his condo. So we have been looking for houses this weekend. We actually want to stay around here but just in Williamson County. We love the area and the schools are the best in the nation!

I'm headed to Memphis Mon- Wed this week. Mom will be up Tuesday.

Our beach vacation is coming sooner and sooner!

Chat later!

Where does the Time go?

Camden already wants to share his soccer ball! FYI Kelli he might need another one he is wearing this one out!!!

Camden had a great time at Grammy and Grandpa's house this weekend while Mommy and Daddy went to see Kenny Chesney, It was an amazing concert. All the artist that sang did a great show!I will post some pictures soon! I will probably steal some from Candy..=o)
Steve and I had a wonderful time and it was great to just get out. Eventhough we talked about our little boy all night. It was great spending time with Candy and Jimmy too. Grammy and Grandpa took him all over, I think mom's been waiting to take him out forever. I know she loved it.

We spent some time at the pool Friday and Sunday, Jodi came over and spent some time with us all. It's so relaxing to just be out there!

I am off to Alabama tomorrow. This will be my first time to be away from Camden more than two nights at a time. I am going to miss him. Mom is coming up tomorrow night so she will be here to help Steve. What would we do without her?

I am still in Physical Therapy with my back and side.It's getting better but still hurts at the not so great moments. But Therapy is doing wonders!

I will chit chat later!

Have a great week!

Camden~ 3 Months

Camden turned 3 months on Wednesday~ You can see some updated pictures HERE

Going to try and write some more later~ Trying to balance going back to work and all!

First night without Camden ~

I am officially back to work as of this week. Camden is 12 weeks today. Grammy is here and going to be with Camden all day~ this makes it a little easier to leave him for the night. Steve is taking me to the airport and I am Chicago bound. I will be back Thursday evening and he will go to Lisa's that day.

Feels weird getting on a plane, have not been on one since December!

I know everything is going to be fine, I have a wonderful husband and supportive family that will help with Camden.

Camden loves his Grammy! He just smiles and smiles at her! I love her too she is my rock while I am away...

Get ready for Bonnaroo traffic~ Hence why we don't get to go through ATL to SC today.. YUCK~!.

But at least Jack Johnson is going to be there... Steve and I are jealous of the people that get to attend.


It's that time of year again, when neighboring Manchester temporarily becoming Tennessee's sixth most populated city.
The 2008 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival kicks off this weekend and, with nearly 80,000 people coming to the Coffee County area, the Tennessee Department of Transportation and Tennessee Highway Patrol are getting ready.

The giant music festival begins Thursday evening and runs through Sunday, with the heaviest traffic expected Thursday. As a result, travelers on Interstate 24, as well as state routes and local roads, will be impacted.

South Carolina Bound

Tomorrow evening we are headed down to Columbia for Jon's wedding! Steve is in the wedding on Saturday. We are so excited for Christina and Jon.

We can't wait for everyone to meet little Camden. Becky and Jeff are keeping him while we attend the wedding and he will get to see the boys! We are staying at Sarah's so she will get to spend some time with him also!

Larry and Rebecca might go to the wedding with us.

Not sure if we are so excited about the first long drive with Camden down there but it will be in the evening so it should not be so bad! I hope it just gets cooler around here and down in Cola this weekend.

It has been a little depressing around here this week, my last week home with leave. Next week I go out Wed-Thurs to Chicago. I'm sad about leaving him.....

Lullaby ~ Perfect song from me to Camden!

Since there will nights when I am not home with the little fellow away for work....I'm going to miss him terribly when I go back to work next week. How can 12 weeks go by so fast?


When you're so lonely lying in bed
Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
Everyone's sleeping all through the house
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby to yourself
And if you are waiting, waiting for me
Know I'll be home soon darling I guarantee
I'll be home Sunday just in one week
Dry up your tears if you start to weep
And sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Lullaby, I'm not nearby
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Don't you cry, no don't you cry
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Cause when I arrive dear it won't be that long
No it won't seem like anytime that I've been gone
It ain't the first time it won't be the last
Won't you remember these words to help the time pass?
So when you're so lonely lying in bed
Night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
Everyone's sleeping all through the house
You wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby to yourself
Sing this lullaby, sing this lullaby
Sing this lullaby to yourself

Camden Two Month Shots!

Two Month Check-Up~ Tuesday

Camden weighed 10 lb~ 12ounces ( 25-50% Percentile)
Measured 23 inches long ( 50% Percentile)
Head Circumference 15 3/4 cm ( 50% Percentile)

Camden passed all the "little" tests that Dr. White gave him and he overall had a great check-up.
He also got his shots today which after Dr. White examined him I left and let Daddy hold his hand for that part, right now I just don't like the fact they are inflicting pain on my 9 week old. I will deal if he falls down or gets hurt accidentally but Daddy can deal with the shots. Camden did fine with them bearly making a sound when they did it, Steve refers to him as a "Real Man".

Camden met his Uncle Jeff and Aunt Becky along with his cousins, Eli and Andrew this weekend. You can browse some pictures of the weekend Click Here!

We had a great time with them all at the park and just playing around the house. It was great to see the boys and how much they have grown. They are both full of character! Camden cannot wait to see them in a couple of weeks when we drive down for Jon's wedding. As promised I drilled Becky with Baby questions and she helped with many of them. Camden smiled at all of them the whole weekend!

Shawn's graduation went well and it was great to see all the Family Saturday, Aunt Jodi watched Camden while we went to the graduation before the cook out at Weasel's. I think she truly enjoyed his company as he did hers. Then we went to the cook out afterwards and everyone got to see Camden.

Mom has been up since Tuesday to help out with Camden. I went back today to find out about my MRI results, I will write more on that later.. It has been a long day!

Good night!
