Making Mama Proud

Some things just make a Mama proud. This evening at dinner, Camden did something only a mother can brag about. No, he did not count to three. No, he did not name his colors. No, he did not potty train today. Here's what he did do...he tooted on command! (Yes, I know I need to grow up but I just can't help myself.) So anyways, at dinner, Camden tooted by accident. He giggled a little (and so did I...again, I know I need to grow up.) So what happened next made me beam with proudness (is that a word?) I said, "Camden, do it again." The poor boy strained as hard as he could and whatda' know...he did it again! Oh, we laughed...loud belly laughs. Then I say to Kye, "Run out to the car and get the camera." And here's what happened...

I said, "Camden, do it again." He strained and he strained (see pic above). And what do you know, he still had a little left in him and made a little toot.

Oh, we laughed and we laughed. Okay, I'll be ending this post now so I can go and grow up!

Onto a New Sport






Since the Cubs really stunk it up this past week, the changing of the guards will be occurring here at the Fenton's in the next couple of weeks. We will be shifting our focus from baseball to basketball. Brandon starts his season in a couple of weeks (I think). Shortly after that, Duke games will be on the tube. Thought I'd attach some pictures of our visit to Duke over the summer.



The next time you see Jukes...ask him about his exciting visit to Cameron Indoor Stadium!

Yearbook Photo...1984


Go HERE to yearbook yourself...This is me in 1984!

Muffin Top

Sorry about not posting for 2 whole weeks...yeah, yeah...you've heard it before...busy, busy, busy. Isn't everyone? Now on to my story...

Have you ever heard me say how much I hate Fall? Yep...hate it, in all it's beautiful, leaves changing color, sweat shirt and jean wearing glory! Here's why: You see, I don't really have a fall wardrobe. I stand in front of my closet each night and try to put something somewhat cohesive together to wear to work the next day. Sometimes I look like a clown. I hate freezing my butt off in the morning and then feeling as though I am going through menopause in the afternoon. So where am I going with this???

Well, after assessing my wardrobe, I found that some of my pants were getting just snug enough to create the Muffin Top effect. Nice, huh? Wanting to make the most out of my not so abundant, slightly snugish pants, I waltzed out to the Wal Mart last night and bought this contraption that claimed that it would smooth the tummy and hip areas...somewhat like a girdle, minus the underwear part. It kind of looked like a big belt that you wore across your mid section. Just what I was looking for! I put it on this morning under my sweater and thought "hmmm...not too bad, not too uncomfortable and man...not too much Muffin Top." As the day went on, this contraption was squeezing me so hard that I thought I wasn't going to be able to breathe. During my plan time, I contemplated getting the scissors out and cutting it right off of me. Never again will I endure pain to make the Muffin Top go away!

Conversation of the Day

At the Cubs game today, waiting 15 minutes for the ice cream guy to make it our way...

Jordyn: "Mom"

Me: "Yeah"

Jordyn: "You mean to tell me they have enough guys selling beer here, but there's only one guy selling ice cream!"

This was after at least 10 guys walked by selling beer in the time we were waiting for the ice cream dude to come back. Unfortunately, this was when I had to explain to her Life Lesson #58...It's the big boys who are catered to at Major League baseball games. Everyone else is chopped liver!
