McBryar Family

2012-01-27T09:21:00.000-08:00

Oh how I am going to miss this little girl:( I get chocked up thinking about it.

Time has come!!!!

2012-01-27T09:14:00.000-08:00

Has I am packing for the states I realize that I have forgotten what 50-60 degree weather feels like. I have no idea what to bring:) So different from the weather I am used to. We have a play date coming over tomorrow to swim in 90 degree weather. I never like flying especially over big bodies of water…yikes. Eight flights in 3 weeks with a 3 year old, much prayers needed.

We are so looking forward to seeing family and friends and going shopping!!!!

See everyone SOON!!!

2012-01-22T17:48:00.000-08:00

Well it is count down time!!!! Camden and I will be heading to the US in just one week. We are super excited to get to spend time with family.

Believe in Your Value

2012-01-18T05:39:00.000-08:00

During one of my devotions I came across a verse that I need to learn to live by more.

"Because you are precious in My sight and honored, and because I love you, I will give men in return for you and peoples in exchange for your life. Fear not, for I am with you." -Isaiah 43:4-5

I have always looked for approval from others to find my worth. Now that I have Camden I never want her to feel like she needs acceptance from others but only from God. If we are right with God all else will fall in to place. New Year's resolution: Worry less and trust more!

Beach time!

2012-01-18T05:13:00.000-08:00

Recently we visited Santa Clara beach. It was so relaxing and fun! Camden got to chase the waves, play in the sand, and lay in a hammock! It has been the best beach yet on the Pacific side.

Happy New Year! Fun time with friends.

2012-01-01T07:35:00.000-08:00

Christmas Came and went!

2011-12-30T05:48:00.000-08:00

Although it wasn't the same without family, the three of us had a good Christmas together. Camden enjoyed opening all of her presents and this year we really saw the thrill of Santa Claus.

2011-12-09T07:24:00.001-08:00

It's is December 9th and I cannot believe how beautiful it is here in Panama. This morning Camden and I got to enjoy a little pool time.

Christmas is here!

2011-12-01T13:46:00.000-08:00

We are a little bummed about not getting home for Christmas but who knows we could be on the beach somewhere that day. We are however happy to have our tree up, with a few hand made ornaments and presents wrapped. Now all we need is Santa to come!

The Tyson's come to visit

2011-12-01T06:59:00.000-08:00

2011-11-30T05:37:00.001-08:00

Camden was happy to see her toys!

Chloe got to play on the beach for the first time!

our furniture arrived!

It has been awhile since the last time I posted anything. More and more people are now on facebook but for all of my friends and family who are not I decided to keep the blog going. So here is what you have missed.

In July we moved to Panama. It has been challenging but also rewarding at the same time. We have met some really wonderful people and have made some great friends. Life here is a little more laid back but not knowing the language can be really tough. There are a lot of expats both from Chile and the US for Procter and we have formed some really good relationships.

We have had many visitors and cannot wait to get many more. If you are ever up for a trip I welcome all! We go to the beach(pacific and Atlantic), visit the canal, fish in the rainforest, sight seeing in the old city, Casca Viejo, and even see wild monkeys, crocodiles, tucans, and much much more. Don't be alarmed by the driving and constant horn blowing it is the norm for Latin America. As my mom said when she was visiting "there is no road rage because everyone kind of has it." When you drive you are very much on the defense. Dustin does most of the driving in the city, however I most definitely can get to the mall all by myself:)

Here are some pics and some extra that I don't like to put on facebook.

2010-03-14T10:29:00.000-07:00

LuLu has become her new friend at the neighbors house.

Doing a little shopping at Kroger.

Precious!!!!

2010-01-27T11:33:00.000-08:00

While home for Christmas Mom got a photographer to come out and take some family photos. Here are a few that were taken. Now I just have to pick which ones to get framed.

Camden has been cracking us up. She will put hats on, carry purses around, and anything that looks like a bracelet she puts it on her little wrist. Dustin asked for a girly girl and I am afraid he got one. The pink hat she has on is from the hospital when we brought her home. Well it still looks cute on her.

2010-01-27T11:14:00.000-08:00

It's Christmas Time!!!!

2010-01-02T17:38:00.001-08:00

Happy 1st Birthday Camden Grace!!!!

2009-11-11T18:13:00.001-08:00

Minnie Mouse had a fantastic time at her costume birthday party!

2009-10-24T19:11:00.000-07:00

2009-10-24T18:59:00.000-07:00

Camden just woke up from a nap and she was cracking us up! Her mouth was full of yogurt.

She ate a whole slice a pizza by herself. There are a few pics but I couldn't resist she was too funny.

2009-10-24T18:53:00.000-07:00

Camden about to make a mess.
Beautiful Chloe!

Suprised Dustin and got all my hair cut off.

I could just eat her up.

What a big girl now, she said no to the bottle, no to the sippy, and yes to the straw!

2009-10-24T18:50:00.000-07:00

Mom and Jay came to visit last weekend. We had a good time but with Camden being sick we didn't get to get out too much.

I know it has been awhile since I have posted so I am going to try and catch up.

Zoo Time

2009-10-02T18:33:00.001-07:00

Bailey and Jordan came to visit with Shirley and Darrell. We had such a great time going to the zoo and shopping at the new outlet mall.

I just thought this was so sweet I had to take a picture!

Florida Vacation

2009-09-12T18:24:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun in Florida with the Lombard's and Abernathy's. There was always something going on and the kids kept us entertained all the time. It was fun to go to the pool and watch all the little's experience the water especially Camden (it was really her first time being in a pool). It was sad when it all ended and everyone had to go their seperate ways.

2009-08-01T19:07:00.000-07:00

2009-07-26T18:20:00.000-07:00

Okay this is what you get when Daddy gives the bath.

Look Who can Stand!!!

2009-06-21T13:55:00.000-07:00

A day at the Park with Mommy and Daddy!

2009-05-31T18:04:00.001-07:00

It was a little windy today so we had to wear a cap. Thanks aunt Kimberly!!!!

!!!Can't you just eat her up!!!
Getting ready for the slide. She wasn't so sure about it.

Notice it isn't very big. She loved it though.

She loved having Daddy there to play.

Chloe exhausted from the walk to the park had to find a shaded spot. I didn't even have to tie her up she was so tired the leash was laying right beside her.

Can't get enough!!!

Daddy held her while they rode the dinasour.

Looks just like my DADDY!

2009-05-31T17:51:00.000-07:00

"Just a Swinging"

2009-05-30T18:50:00.000-07:00

Today we took our normal walk but decided to stop off by the park to try out the swing. Camden loved it. This video is from my cell so I will have to get a better one with my camera. She laughed the entire time.

"Splish Splash"

2009-05-24T13:59:00.000-07:00

Having a great time in the swimming pool.

Chloe didn't want to be apart of the action so she went and laid in the shade.

Having fun with Jen.

loved splashing in the water.

Sharon Woods

2009-05-24T13:37:00.000-07:00

"Peek a boo"....Chloe

Cheezing it for the camera. Enjoying her stroller ride through Sharon Woods.

Chloe determined to make it to the car with no interruptions before she passes out from the heat.

Love it when Aunt Jen comes to town!!!!

Chloe is having a bad day!!!!

2009-05-21T07:55:00.001-07:00

Poor little Chloe has chewed a big sore on her arm. She has to wear the cone to keep her from continuing to lick it. I don't know how long it will last because she just stands in the same spot and doesn't move. It is sad yet funny all at the same time. Love her heart.

Camden gets a new hat!

2009-05-19T18:08:00.000-07:00

Camden got a new hat! She needs to cover her ears from the wind. Two ear infections, OUCH!
Having fun in the sun. Loves to ride with her toes in breeze.

Ready to play.

We got a new highchair and she thinks she is big time now. We practice with a cup hoping one day she will get it. She drinks some but ends up wearing most of it. She does really well holding it herself.

2009-05-17T19:08:00.000-07:00

Sitting pretty. Got some new shoes/socks this weekend. They are so stinking cute!
Looks just like her Daddy right here.

Chloe is always watching over Camden

2009-05-16T17:21:00.000-07:00

Warm Weekend!!!!!

2009-04-26T18:06:00.000-07:00

We went to Ault Park today. Camden had a good time strolling around. She loves to be barefoot. Dustin would go really fast and her feet would stick straight up in the air. She loves her new stroller and it has lots of room for her to grow. The sunshade is fantastic keeps the sun out of her eyes, the whole reason I bought it. Chloe had a good time as well. She was beat when we left and super hot!

Camden got new PJs

First time in shorts and a bow in her hair. Barely has enough for it but it worked for the picture.

Look who is growing up!!!!!

2009-04-24T18:12:00.001-07:00

It was picture day at school

2009-03-18T16:56:00.000-07:00

2009-03-18T16:41:00.000-07:00

Love this picture of Camden but do you notice the lovely white hair that is sticking up off of my head. "LOVELY"

Camden got a new outfit!!!! I am addicted.

Finally she loves bathtime....she hangs the left arm out of the tub when she is really relaxed.

Camden Laughing!!!

2009-03-12T18:52:00.000-07:00

Oh yes she is sitting all by herself.

Loving boppy time!

Camden sitting up like a big girl in her stroller!

Chloe excited that we just got back from a walk.

So tired and sleepy...strolling puts her to sleep.

Chloe always has to get in on the action.

More pics from our Austin Trip....we sure do miss them!

2009-02-19T17:20:00.001-08:00

Aunt Kimberly was always making her laugh

You just want to pinch those little cheeks!

They are getting so big.

Loves looking at herself in the mirror, kind of like her Daddy!!!

The McBryar Family together

2009-02-19T10:01:00.000-08:00

ExerSaucer Time!!!

2009-02-18T12:34:00.000-08:00

Well I got out the ExerSaucer to see how Camden would do sitting in it. As you can see I had to surround her with towels. It took her a minute but in the end she is still sitting in it thinking what in the world is all this stuff. It may be overstimulation right now but she seems to be enjoying herself. And as you can see with Chloe still mad that Camden got yet another toy.

2009-02-10T08:04:00.000-08:00

We had a great time in Austin visiting with Kimberly, Wade, Jax, and Lawson. Jax took us to ride the train, we went to the mall, I took Jax all by himself to get a icy, we ate at a few of their favorite spots, ate wonderful cookies from Tiff's Treats, went on wagon rides, played at the park, saw Jax's school, and finally played with lots of toys and sidewalk chalk. The weather was to die for. Most of all I miss hanging out with my sister. Now that we have children it was so great to just be together. Maybe just maybe if me and Kimberly pray hard enough we will live close to each other again. That would be the greatest!!!!

Here are a few videos from the trip....Lawson doing his jig when he wants something to eat and Camden talking to her Daddy and Chloe telling them both how much she loves and misses them.

Please excuse my lovely sounding voice......

Trip to Austin TX

2009-02-09T06:52:00.000-08:00

This was a wagon and stroller ride to the store to get milk. It was so nice there.

Camden is doing so good at holding her head up and she loved to laugh at herself in this mirror.

Seriously is what she is thinking.....

We couldn't get Jax to get in the photo so it is just Lawson and Camden having a good time with each other.

Loves having his picture taken.

Down below are photos from Zilker Park which Jax loves. We got to go on a train ride. And we had a picnic there as well. Jax and myself fed the birds, which Kimberly hated.

Jax was the big boy who sat between Camden and Lawson. He took really good care of Camden the whole week.

Still cracking me up!!!!

Jax wanted Camden to play with him so bad...you can see all the toys he was trying to give her.

Lawson loves to show you his tongue.

Snowy Days

2009-01-28T08:20:00.001-08:00

Oh the dreadful snow....we have all been advised to stay inside. we have had about 10 inches or more of snow in all over the past two days along with a nice layer of ice of top of that.

Chloe does not get excited about the snow at all.

We bought this for Camden and she absolutely loves it. Just wanted everyone to see what makes her so exicted when I am talking to you on the phone. She is amazed at the star that plays music and its face lights up. As you can see in this picture the toys are flying around from her hitting them.

She can also see herself in the mirror and she thinks it is great!

With these two photos I was trying to capture her flipping over from her stomach to her back but couldn't get the middle photo she does it so quickly. She is doing so good at holding her head up.

And here again chilling in the Bumbo seat.

Learning to sit up in her Bumbo seat

2009-01-22T07:14:00.001-08:00

YAY! Jen came to visit.

2009-01-19T11:03:00.000-08:00

Jen came to visit us and Chloe was loving every minute of it.

Trying to give her kisses.

Chloe not happy that Camden got a new toy and she didn't.

Loving the star that plays music and lights up!

Carrying on a conversation with Mr. Bird.

All dressed up to go shopping!

Yes more kisses!

Nana Shirley bought this bow in four different colors for Camden to grow into. They are so cute!

Dustin spoiling Camden by bouncing her on this ball. She actually loves this and falls asleep almost every time you do it.

Camden's Head Held High

2009-01-13T16:22:00.001-08:00

We have been practicing real hard on this and tonight she finally did it. She has been able to hold her head up when you hold her but never wanted to on the mat.

She is getting so big:(

She is starring at herself in the little mirror on the mat.

When you pay one attention you have to pay the other the same amount.

Home for the Holidays

2009-01-13T08:43:00.000-08:00

Camden was baptised at North Cleveland Church of God on Dec. 21st. She looked beautiful!

Bailey holding her little cousin

Now Jordan

Camden's first Christmas

2009-01-02T16:55:00.000-08:00

Doesn't get much sweeter than this.

Camden laughing at her Daddy

Christmas morning.....she is always sleeping

GiGi gave her this outfit. Her shirt says Santa Baby however her socks were to big so the only way we could get them to stay was put them up over her pants. She still looks adorable.

Passed out again.

Chloe is very excited about her Christmas goodies, Can't you tell?

Roll Tide Roll, of course Poppi G bought this for her.

Her first trip to Church

Everyone please forgive me I didn't take many pictures but there are a few.

The Arrival of Camden Grace McBryar

2009-01-02T16:48:00.001-08:00

The look says it all about how Dustin feels about his new little girl.
Camden was beautiful from the moment she came into this world.

It was worth every pain that was felt. Thank you Lord for my little girl.

The proud grandparents....Papaw Darrell, Nana Shirley, and Roxie. We called them at 2:30am and they were on the road 2o minutes later. They wanted to make sure they were there for her grand entrance.
