Camp Titus

Labor Day Weekend is a time for loading up your truck with sleeping bags, tents, hot dogs, smore supplies, fishing poles and the entire family for a nice long weekend of camping. That's exactly what we did. Ok. Not exactly. But we did have tents, hot dogs, smores, fishing poles and the entire family out for a fun time at Camp Titus. :-D

(ps- another shout-out to Emily for taking most of these pictures. I wouldn't have had a single picture without her. :-D)

The spread: hot dogs, chips, pasta salad, beans, watermelon, pineapple, strawberries YUUUUUUMMMM!!!
Grandma took over my boring spread and made it fabulous! :-D

Rachel loves babies

Brinley made herself comfortable

Teaching Titus how to fish

Three generations

Out at the shooting range.

Not only did Emily take all the pictures, she also made this fabulous cake. I told her what I wanted and she rocked it, people. Totally rocked it.

I give you (drumrollllll)...........

GIANT SMORE CAKE!

Brinley lent a helping hand when it came to digging in.

Frosting fight!

"Mama?"

Smore time!!

He fell and conked his noggin on the dirt. :-D

Present time!

Thanks Gram!

He really loves books

He had LOTS of help opening gifts!

He got a broom from the Halbgewach family
He wouldn't put it down and kept smacking me in the head with it! :-)

He ran off with his broom
(we had to hide it in order to get him through the rest of his presents!)

A rockin' guitar from Grandpa and Nanny

Clean-up was a breeze with all the help we had. Thanks to everyone who made it successful (especially my handsome husband-- he's so good at the details)


We had so many people helping us and celebrating with us from far away!
From Colorado:
Uncle Terry, Aunt Chris, Sam, Ryan, Uncle Doug, Aunt Vicki, Grandpa, Grandma
From St. Louis:
Tracy, Emily, Austin
From North Platte:
Aunt Cathy, Brig
Facetimed from South Carolina (and wished they were here the whole time):
Uncle Ryan, Aunt Shannon, Evan.

Thanks to everyone for making it special. :-)

ps-- just realized that I didn't "Shout Out" to my Aunt Vicki. "Why?" you ask? For the simple fact that she SAVED TITUS' LIFE at his party. He choked on a piece of ice and wasn't breathing. She flipped him onto his tummy and pounded that sucker out of his throat. Yea. I know. Scariest moment of my life. :-D Love you, Vicki, and THANK YOU for saving our little buddies life. All in a days work for a nurse, right?
