The Campbell Family...

Christmas at the Campbell home...

2010-12-21T08:18:00.001-08:00

We have been doing many things this Christmas season. We stopped school and started doing some fun things for the rest of the year. And I got NO complaints from the kids.

The first thing we did was to make lap books on

The Christmas Story!

(I think they did a great job on them)

Then we started in on some crafts. We have made snowflakes and turned or front hallway into a blizzard. With singing snowmen(thank you Grammie) and snowflakes hanging from the ceiling. It looks great.

Then we made big Christmas light bulbs to hang around the kids doors and paper Christmas trees that sat on our table for awhile.

Then we made some salt dough ornaments. And they turned out beautiful.

Last night we went to Trevor's Boy Scout Annual Christmas party and we had a great time. I was asked to make something sweet for the kids, so I made these reindeer cupcakes. They were a hit and a ton of fun to make with the kiddos too!

And of course a Christmas party wouldn't be complete without HO HO there.

Tuckor rehearsed what he was going to tell ho ho before we got there. He was VERY concerned about getting it all right. He did great and left with a big grin on his face. Tannor ran into is arms and then wouldn't say a word to ho ho for awhile. Then he finally said that he wanted a new gun.

Tymbor just smiled and smiled at him and then tried to eat ho ho's beard. It was real cute. Ho ho was stunned to find out that ALL those kids where ours. lol

We have been having a fantastic Christmas so far and are looking forward to having Papa and Grammie here with us on Christmas Eve and Christmas day!

Merry Christmas to all our family and friends!

Thanksgiving...

2010-11-25T17:26:00.003-08:00

The kids have been coming up with plays here of late all on their own. So it was no surprise to us when they came to us today and said that they had something for us to come and see.

They had put together a re-enactment of a pilgrims Thanksgiving. Everything you see in the pictures they came up with themselves.

I must say that they thought of almost everything and I was VERY proud to see the "greens" on the table.

But I was even prouder of them when during the re-enactment, they all bowed their heads and gave thanks for the meal on the table.

These kids are always coming up with ways to impress us with their imaginations. And I think they out did themselves with this one.
Happy Thanksgiving. I pray it was a good one and blessing to everyone!

Thanksgiving and a few other things...

2010-11-16T05:55:00.001-08:00

Taylor's girl scout troop had a Thanksgiving meal together last night with two other troops. The food was yummy and the girls all had fun.

Just had to add a picture of my beautiful nanny. Love this girl like crazy and it helps that all the kids, including Tymbor love her too. All she has to do is pick Tymbor up and in a few minutes the little thing is out cold. Sammie just seems to have the touch. I have to keep an eye on her though, as her and her mother have tried a few times to get out of the house with Tymbor in their pockets. =)

This is the picture of Tuckor making Taylor's cake that I forgot to post below, mom. He put everything in the bowl and then used my mixer for the first time. And he LOVED it. I love how all the kids love to help in the kitchen.

And because it's funny to watch. Here is a video of Tuckor trying to blow up Taylor's balloons for her birthday.

Taylor's Birthday Book

2010-11-16T05:40:00.000-08:00

Taylor had been counting down the days till her birthday since the first of November. And I must say, putting a ton of thought into what it was she wanted. We let them choose what they want for dinner, what kind of cake they want. And we always ask them for a few things they may want as a present.

SO our thoughtful little lady took it upon herself to make this....

I tell you, I could have not pulled the day off without this help. =) She thought it was particularly funny that she made ME a "to do" list and a shopping list.

What can I say, Love that gal.

Taylor's Birthday

2010-11-16T05:07:00.001-08:00

For as long as she has been able to talk, Taylor has wanted everything PINK. So it was no surprise to me when for the last couple of years she has asked for a strawberry cake with strawberry icing.

Usually she wants cupcakes, but this year she asked for a cake. So I made her a layer strawberry cake with strawberry jelly in the middle. Needless to say, it was a HUGE hit with her. Her reaction when she saw it was great.

Wesley took all the kids(but Tuckor) over to his mom's house that day. So Tuckor and I took the time to decorate the house and make her cake. Tuckor mixed up the cake all by himself. I forgot to add that pic, I will do that later mom. When we were blowing up the balloons, he had to make one for Tymbor. And she actually held on to it and had fun watching her arm move it all around. It was too cute. (just like her.)

We had one of our friends over to help celebrate. Theressa, Sammie and Chey. Chey and Taylor have become great friends and it was lovely having them over to help us celebrate Taylor's birthday.

I didn't put up pic of it, but Taylor got a strawberry shortcake doll with a wardrobe and clothe from us for her birthday. (It was on her list.) And Chey gave her some games and a craft. Which of course she loved.
It was a great day and it ended with the traditional balloon fight with dad. Which by the way, HE always starts with them and of course they LOVE.

Happy 11th Birthday Taylor. We love you so much and are enjoying watching you grow and become the little lady you are today. Your beauty is truly inside and out.

Tymbor Lee Flora Campbell

2010-11-14T05:10:00.000-08:00

Sorry this has taken so long.

Tymbor was born on September 14

8 lbs even

20 1/2 inches long

Just a beautiful little one.

Happy, smiling and talking up a storm already!

Getting way too big so fast. But we are cherishing every moment and enjoying every day with her.

SO I have been told to update my blog........

2010-03-30T08:49:00.001-07:00

Yes, I know, it has been some time since I have blogged. And now that I have been asked(ordered) to update I am complying. =~) Love you mom.

As most of you already know, I am pregnant with number 6. I am as of now 16 wks and 3 days. I can't believe that I am almost half way there already. The first trimester was hard as I was sick 24-7 but that has started to go a way and I am having more better days than bad so we are ALL happy and my house is FINALLY getting clean. lol The kids are happy that I am finally showing, makes it seem more real for them I guess. Tuckor always comes up to me and says "you have bigger belly mommy?" and because he is SO cute and adorable and because I am pregnant that is the only reason he gets a way with saying that. lol

We are looking for a new place now. This tiny little home is no longer for us. So keep us in your prayers that we may find what we need.

And since I have no good pictures to upload for now, I have added the one below for some laughs. It rained for a few days in a row and the kids where going crazy in the house with "nothing to do". So this is what Taylor did for a while to pass the time.

I had to stop her with the makeup part of it. lol But they did have fun playing around. And I now have some pictures to embarrass them with when they get older. And YES I will use them. =~)

The start of our Christmas baking...

2009-12-20T14:21:00.001-08:00

Our Christmas baking has finally begun and no one could be happier about that than me. I so enjoy all the baking a cooking that surrounds the holiday season.

I made Graham Cracker Crumb Fruit Cake the other day....to my husband's total and complete JOY!! =) And today I supervised Taylor as she made her Candy Cane Cookies for her Girls Scout Troop Cookie Exchange this yr.

She did a fabulous job and they turned out perfect.

All wrapped up pretty for her friends!

One special cookie for her leader.
You did a great job Taylor! They look and taste amazing!

Christmas pics of the grandbaby...

2009-12-20T14:13:00.001-08:00

The last weekend the kids where here, we took some pics of Jasmine and I am just now getting around to posting them....sorry mom and dad. =)

Such a beautiful little face.

Too cute.

Loving her new Christmas bear from Great Grandma Ruby and her candy cane from Grand Dela!

She would say....nummy!

Love ya Jasmine girl.

Jasmine turns 1....

2009-12-08T08:54:00.001-08:00

Can't believe that our little grand daughter is one now. Seems like yesterday we were excitedly awaiting the announcement of her arrival. And now she is a year old, walking around and talking in the sweetest little voice and bring much joy to our life.

We were laughing at how our 'girl' numbers have gone from two to four quickly and Taylor and I have decided we like sharing our Queen and Princess status with Crystal and jazzy. The four of us reign our family very well I must say. Love all my girls.

Jazzy loving the present we got for her. A little music box. Oh the faces she made...so cute.

She was so funny to watch.

This picture is out of order, but she couldn't wait to get her hands on the cake.

Crystal decided on this cake for Jazzy and I think I had just as much fun making it as she had ripping into it. lol

I think it turned out real cute, even after some mishaps and little fingers getting into it early on.

Oh yea, she was loving it.

Too too cute.

Getting all washed up....can you say 'sugar rush'?

Wes, Crystal and Jasmine. Love them so much!

Getting into the Christmas Spirit...

2009-12-03T13:56:00.000-08:00

Ok, yes I know we live in Fl, but I can dream about 'Walking in a Winter Wonderland' can't I?

As I was searching for a new background for my blog I came across this great blog with all kind of backgrounds, headers, and tutorials. I fell in love with her work and couldn't in my right mind keep her a secret from others. so click HERE to visit her site and see if there is anything that you fall in love with. I am sure you will.

Our Thankfull tree...

2009-11-09T05:50:00.000-08:00

So my father called me the other day wanting to know if I could use a cork board. I said Yes, of-course, and was pleasantly surprised when it arrived as to how BIG it was. Now as I know dad will be saying "I told her the dimensions" while he reads this, I will say that I had a moment and those dimensions he told me did not 'register' with me when he told them to me, UNTILL I saw it.

ANYWAY, we put it up on the wall right away and the kids LOVE having it, so thank you daddy!

We decided for this month to put a Thankful Tree on one side of it and the other the kids have a place to put a paper from our school day to show their father when he gets home. They take great pride that they have a paper on the board and have seen them taking more time on their writing to make it extra neat. So I am thinking I may have to keep that part of the board each month. =)

They have really enjoyed putting the leaves on the tree so far. Though both Taylor and Trevor have put thought into what to put on each leaf, I still get a laugh from one of them every day. They are thankful for family, love, candy, shoes, socks, God, mommy, daddy, food, life, cookies, money....and the list goes on. I am pleased to see the thoughtfulness that goes into those leafs though and am glad for the awareness they have for the blessings in their life.

I will post a pic of the tree at the end of the month!

Another trip to the ER for Tuckor...

2009-11-04T05:53:00.001-08:00

So we had to take our little man to the ER again the other night. He was running, tripped and slammed his head onto our one and only step in our house. And of course it has to be a tile step.

But as you can see below, he is just fine and back to his normal crazy, happy self. They glued it shut instead of stitching, which this mother was very thankful for. He does not do well with that as we found out last trip to the ER for his lip.

Thankful he is ok.

Tannor says hi...

2009-10-20T06:41:00.000-07:00

Just a little shout out to a few of Tannor's peeps!

Canning with mom...

2009-10-02T11:37:00.000-07:00

I was peeling an apple the other day and it smelled SO good. So I got the idea of inviting mom over to do some canning. Of course she said yes and dad very eagerly agreed too.

So she came over and we made apple butter & applesauce, I did a pumpkin butter and mom made an apple chutney & she also did up some freezer pickles which were OH so disgusting. LOL Just kidding, poor mom would of had more to take home with her if I would have stayed out of them. They were very good. And thank you mother for leaving 4 boxes with me. =)

So here is a picture of what we did. Everything turned out great. Had a fun time with you mom!

Some water slide fun...

2009-09-09T12:56:00.000-07:00

Austin and Jen's visit...

2009-09-09T12:11:00.000-07:00

So I have been asked to update my blog, by my mother. And since I have plans to ask her to watch the kiddos in a few wks for us so Wes and I can have a mommy/daddy wkend, I will do as she asks. LOL Love ya mom. =~)

Our cute little Tannor.

Theressa and Keith, the ones who hosted our get together, rented two water slides for all the kiddos. They had a ball. This is Trevor.

and Taylor. They had a ball on these things and only got off of them because it started raining later that evening.

The grand kids plus Jennifer's niece. We are missing Austin and Jen's oldest, Jeremy. He just joined the Marines. And Wes and my oldest, Wesley. Between the 4 of us kids, we have given mom and dad 15 grand kids and one great grandchild....so far. (well you know.....you never know.)LOL

Our little family. Otherwise know as the Camo family.

Playing around with Aaron. (notice the look of pain on his face? Yea it's real, I got him good.)lol

The best parents in the world. Love you guys very much!! And I love this pic of you all too. Yep, going on my wall. =~)

The four BEAUTIFUL sisters.

All of us with our spouses.

And just the four of us. Love you all!

Was the best wkend. Our visit was short but OH so very needed. Thank you so much to Theressa and Keith for making it all happen for us. What a meaningful gift it was to us all. And will not be forgotten. Thank you again.

4th of July Campbell Cookout....

2009-09-09T11:15:00.000-07:00

These are not in order, but since I have 3 sick kids who may call on me at any moment. I am going to leave them like so.

Above, Tannor trying his hand at the pinata'.

All the cousins with crazy hair!

LOL Sorry Heather, I had to add this one. Heather has always been a huge fan of my potato salad. She is my taste tester to make sure it is ok when I do make it. That day, she just wasn't too sure and had to 'keep tasting it'. So as I had to leave the kitchen for a bit, I left her a little love note. LOL You always make me laugh girl. Love ya!!

Too much fun. Even though she knew it was coming.

I made(with the help of mom, Heather and Allana) an apple pie in my 22 inch cast iron skillet. Very yummy!

Tuckor just a swinging....

Just a fraction of the water balloons we filled.

More pinata fun.

LOVE this pic

Such beauties!!

Fun on the slip n slid. Had to add this one. Too cute.

Water balloon fight. Notice mom in the back ground. Mom, love how your arm is up and ready to get Aaron. LOL

Fun in the tree. We have 5 swings in that thing. The kids love it.

Us kids.

We had a fabulous day, the kids are still talking about it.

Updated pictures of the kiddos...

2009-07-05T18:37:00.000-07:00

I will be posting a ton more photos of our 4th cookout, but I wanted to get these up right away for my parents to see. I have to say that these are my favorite pictures from the whole wkend.

I have always loved how much my children LOVE my parents, but what touches my heart even more is to see the love that my parents have for my children.

How blessed my children are to have such great grandparents.

These pictures speak for themselves, so Dad and Mom, enjoy ~ these are just for you!

Mom ~ you are a beautiful lady, thank you so for loving our children the way you do!

Dad ~ I look up to you so and am completely grateful to you for your Godly influence not only on myself, but also to our children!

Jasmine...

2009-06-22T04:52:00.000-07:00

She is getting so big TOO fast. But she is a beauty!!

A romantic beach get-a-way...

2009-05-07T12:44:00.000-07:00

NEED I SAY MORE?

What a faulous evening that was.

Another visit with the kiddos and grandbaby...

2009-05-07T12:32:00.000-07:00

To celebrate our 14th year together, Wes and I decided to take a wkend away and we decided to go down to spend the wkend with Wes and Crystal and little Jasmine. She is growing so fast and is becoming such a little darling.

As always, we had a fabulous time with them and are now counting the days that we can go back down with the rest of the kids for another beach wkend.

(A special GREAT BIG thank you to my mother for watching the younger crowd for us so we could go down there. Hope you have finally recovered. =~)

Love you Mom

Our little Jasmine...

2009-04-14T07:25:00.001-07:00

These are the cupcakes that I made for the kiddos this Easter. They are carrot cake with cream cheese icing. YUM!

Great Papa with his little girl.

Great Grammie holding her.(sorry mom that I cut you off)

Grand Dela and her little love.

What a darling little thing.

We so loved our visit with them again and look forward to seeing them again in a few wks!

Jasmine @ 10 weeks old

2009-02-16T05:21:00.000-08:00

Wes and Crystal moved down here to FL. They are about 2 hours South of us now. YAY!!!
They came up to visit and we met them at his Grandma Ruby's house as it has been quite a few years since they have seen each other and she hadn't seen Jasmine yet.

So here are some pictures from there visit.

Papa with his little girl.

Grand Dela giving more kisses than she wanted I am sure.

Laughing at mommy.

Sleeping on Grand Dela. Sigh...Love her so.

Taylor and Jasmine.

Tuckor and Jasmine.

Trevor and Jasmine. He loves this little one. Held her almost as much as I did.

Four generation picture.

Wesley, Crystal and Jasmine.

Aunt B loving on Tannor.
We had a great day with them and as always the time ended WAY too soon.

OK - Sorry it took so long.

2009-02-16T04:44:00.001-08:00

I know it is the middle of Feb and I am just now getting these on here from Christmas. All I can say is sorry.

Just some random pics from our "Christmas @ the Cabin". We had a fabulous time and was very happy that mom and dad were able to join us there.

And now, in no particular order, some random pics of our fun there.

Christmas Eve after the kiddos went to bed, out came the presents.

We did not make Tuckor take a nap while there, but come the 3rd or so day he took one all on his own right in the middle of the floor.

Papa and the kiddos out in the woods behind the cabin.

The view was beautiful. We really enjoyed watching the sun setting each evening.

Trevor with his favorite present. A mandolin. He had been waiting and waiting for it and loves getting it out and playing on it.

Mom and Wes letting the sun warm them.

The front of our place.

The back of it. That is Wesley standing up there.

Taylor and I in the upstairs loft master window. HA say that 3 times real fast. LOL

Mom and I at the front door watching Tannor play on the deck.

Playing catch up.......part 2

2009-01-31T14:07:00.000-08:00

And here are pictures of our little grand daughter, Jasmine Renee Campbell.

She was such a good little thing. Tried putting Taylor's baby doll in her car seat when they were leaving, but Crystal had a very close eye on Jasmine and it did not work.

I have always loved how Wes is taken with baby's. He is not afraid to hold them when they are that little, in fact he loves to hold them then. And he looks good doing so.

In dream land. So precious!!

Daddy sure did enjoy holding her also. It seems that when they are this small they always cry when he holds them. But not Jasmine, she would snuggle right up in his arms and be at peace listening to her Great Papa talk to her. I loved seeing them together and the smile she would put on his face.

This picture cracks me up. I love the look on her face.

Snuggled in with mom and the blanket Great Grammy made for her.

Grand Dela and her little angle.

Uncle Tannor playing with his niece. haha

Our Grand Daughter, Jasmine Renee...

2008-12-10T09:11:00.001-08:00

This is a wk or so before she had Jasmine.

Jasmine Renee Campbell

born December 6, 2008

7 lbs & 7 ounces

A very proud daddy with Jasmine.

Can't wait to go up to see them is just over a wk now.

Trust me more pictures to follow.

(she is soooo cute!!)

And soon.....a baby...

2008-12-05T04:35:00.000-08:00

Crystal is scheduled to be induced today around 1:00 this afternoon. Knowing how hospitals work, that means be here by 1 and we will maybe have you set up to go by 3. =~)

We pray that all will go well and that a healthy baby girl will be laid into Crystal and Wesley's arms with no problems.

We love you both so much, and are looking forward to seeing our little grand baby soon.

Christmas at Bass Pro Shop...

2008-11-29T16:16:00.001-08:00

Here are some more pictures of our trip to Bass Pro Shop in Orlando to see what they had set up for Christmas.

Waiting in line to see santa.

Tannor inspecting the lights.

Getting Tuckor set up to shoot some targets. He just wanted me to load it so he could shoot. Got my arm and hand shot a couple of times. Glad it was only a toy gun. =~)

Taylor did quite well with this cross bow. I am sure it being pink helped.

Trevor showing us all how it is done.

Tannor just hanging out while they all played with the guns.

They were so excited when they shot the targets and made the red lights turn on.

Tuckor and I taking a break in front of one of the Christmas movies they had playing.

This train was cool. I wish we could have taken it home. I think Tuckor would have loved that too.

Getting set up to make Christmas chains.

I thought it was set up real nice for the children. They had lots of fun.

More Than A Day...

2008-11-25T16:42:00.000-08:00

As Thanksgiving Day rolls around,

It brings up some facts, quite profound.

We may think that we're poor,

Feel like bums, insecure,

But in truth, our riches astound.

We have friends and family we love;

We have guidance from heaven above.

We have so much more

Than they sell in a store,

We're wealthy, when push comes to shove.

So add up your blessings, I say;

Make Thanksgiving last more than a day.

Enjoy what you've got;

Realize it's a lot,

And you'll make all your cares go away.

By Karl Fuchs

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

from the CAMPBELL FAMILY!!

Tis the season...

2008-11-24T17:26:00.000-08:00

The Holiday Season is on us and I must say, that I am loving it as always.

Wesley is off on a hunting trip with my father and brother, Austin, up is WV. Wes shot his first deer today. He thought it was a doe, but then realized that it was in fact a button buck. They are figuring it to be around 150 lbs. It is now hanging in Austin's garage and will be cut up and brought home to my waiting arms to be cooked up in many ways that are guaranteed to please my families bellies. =~) But with 5 more hunting days left I am praying that at least one more can be added to his number and that Austin and daddy will be able to get some also.

While the men are away, mother and I are trying to keep the children busy, so the kiddos and I headed over to Orlando for some shopping on Sat and we went over to Bass Pro Shop as they had a Winter Wonderland of sorts set up in their store and of-course santa made an appearance so the kids got to see him for the first time this season.

They had shooting areas set up for them to do. They had a blast with that part and I even tried my hand at it and shot each target set up. YAY for the MOM! =~)

They also had some craft tables set up and we made some chains for the tree and took some home with us to make up at the cabin over Christmas wk.

Anyway, not a bad way to start off the Holidays. We have lots planned for the rest of this wk yet. One of the out door malls in our area put up a ton of trees and LED lights, so we are going to go check them out one evening and we have some more Christmas shopping to do yet before daddy gets home and then spending a few hours with Aaron, Heather, Kia, Kode and the unborn one on Thanksgiving and then off to spend some time with my in-laws too.

So Happy Thanksgiving to every one. Hope you all have a beautiful start to the Season!

Just my thoughts...

2008-11-11T15:49:00.000-08:00

I have been thinking a lot about our soon to be president. And I wonder if he gets the enormity of the responsibilities soon to be on his shoulders. Does he understand that every single decision, no-matter how small or large, he makes in the next 4 years will have a long lasting effect on our nation and probably each of us personally some how. I have had many fears and concerns re: President elect Obama and have done my share of voicing them to family, friends and God.

Yet I have been reminded that the one thing I need to be doing is more praying for President Elect Obama and the leaders that he will choose to surround himself with. He can give anyone he wants a power over our nation that could be abused or used for good. There are many things that I am sure that he will change, do, say or put into law that I will not personally agree with. But I choose to NOT live in fear but to pray and ask God to guide this mans heart, to remember that what ever he chooses to do while in the Presidency will not only affect all of us but also his own daughters and family. I am praying that with every decision he has to make he will seek God's guidance before doing so.

God has performed many many miracles. If he can turn water into wine, part the red sea, create all that walks this earth, create woman from Adams rib, turn each of our hearts towards him, then why can't he turn President Elect Obama into a Godly man?
I know everything happens for a reason - that reason being Gods Will. I am trusting in God's all mighty plan. That I personally can except and trust in that plan.

-Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

-Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. Romans 13:1 & 2

Like I said....just some of my thoughts.

So sad...

2008-11-11T07:02:00.001-08:00

Punished with a baby? Since when was a baby, a child, a gift, a blessing from God a punishment?

I don't know about any one else, but I have never nor will I ever view my children or any other child on earth as a punishment!

Abortion is legalized murder. A way to get out of the responsibility of our actions. But in doing so, those who support and use the "out" are condemning themselves with murder on their hands.

I find it so sad that this is the man that the higher % of our nation thought would be the better leader.

I know that God has his plan, just hard to understand at times, so I am going to take a long walk with Him, do some talking and then a whole lot of listening!

I WON...

2008-11-04T08:44:00.001-08:00

No, I did not win the contest but I do have my giraffe purse!

Last week the mail lady dropped ofF a box for me. It was from Vanessa, a girl I went to school with at Hobe Sound. We stay in touch over the computer and she had read my blog about trying to win the purse contest.

Well, she called my sister to see if I had won and when Allana told her no, Vanessa told her that she was going to order one and send it to me.

SHOCK...SHOCK....SHOCK!!!

This is what her note said...

Adela,

Today is a surprise day for you! A little blogspot may have mentioned

how much this was wanted. So you got it... no questions asked.

Just me having a be kind to someone day!

I hope you love it! It was quite awesome.

Mia and I thought so when we opened it!

Have a Happy Day!

Vanessa - I DO LOVE IT!!

Very excited!

The purse making me look good. LOL =~)

Other than a family member, no one has ever been that kind to me without wanting something in return. Vanessa, you made my year with your gift.

And I want you to know that your kindness will be paid forward!

THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU

I LOVE IT!

All dressed up...

2008-11-04T08:13:00.001-08:00

As many others do these days, we took our children to a church that does a Trunk N Treat. (everyone says it different)

Taylor decided she was going to be a "bride" this yr.

She is getting so big TOO fast.

I think she looks beautiful!

I was going to just mess his hair up good and then spray color in it, but he had his own idea on how he wanted it to look. He wanted it straight up.

I think it matches his personality....CRAZY!!
=~)

Loving his pony ride.

Trevor with his crazy hair. People kept asking him how he did his hair. I thought it was funny because it was mostly men and their sons who kept asking, thinking it was cool, and the moms/wife's stood in the back ground with not so happy faces.

Stood in a long line to ride this cutie!

I did not dress Tannor up, but I did get some great pictures of him.

What a great smile!

His hair is getting longer and curlier!

Just love this boy!

Fun was had by all!

Now on to 5 birth days and the birth of our grand-daughter this month.

Wesley Jr. and Crystal

2008-10-12T04:53:00.001-07:00

Just a quick update on our Wesley and Crystal and baby. They are doing well and she is feeling great. Though she is coming into the uncomfortable end wks she is staying positive and excited. We talk to them often and the last time I talked with her she was gushing about seeing her(the baby) for the first time and what/who she was going to look like. I enjoyed listening to her excitement - did my heart good, as it has not been that long for us since we where feeling those same emotions.

We are so thankful that she has had a healthy, problem free pregnancy...so far.

They have also decided on a name (drum roll please.....)

Jasmine Renee' Campbell

We are so excited for them, and are looking so forward to spending Christmas with them this yr. (Wes is still trying to wipe the grin off my face - over having another baby in the family)

=~)

Wesley, Crystal and growing baby belly!

Trying to win a hand bag...

2008-10-10T16:52:00.000-07:00

I was out in a store with my mom one day and a lady walked by me with a hand bag that made me want to cry. For those of you who know me well, you know that I LOVE giraffes. Her hand bag was a beautiful giraffe print. I of course asked if she wanted to trade hers for my diaper bag, but sadly she had no interest. =~(

Well I came across this web site that is giving away hand bags and when I got to looking at them there was that purse. So I quickly entered my name into the contest, hoping that I, by some small chance, may win that BEAUTIFUL giraffe hand bag.

So here is the web site www.handbagplanet.com Go ahead and enter your name, and if you win and you win that giraffe hand bag, I have a beautiful red or black diaper bag I will trade you for it. LOL

Here is a picture of that BEAUTIFUL hand bag....sigh.....so would love it.

Just a bit of fun with Tannor...

Can't believe he is getting so big!

30 Day Challenge - Encourage Your Husbands

2008-09-15T04:59:00.000-07:00

I found this 30 day challenge at Revive Our Hearts and decided to join. It is a challenge to encourage our husbands every day for 30 days. Every day there is a verse and ideas on how to encourage your man.
* You can't say anything negative about your husband ...to your husband...or to anyone else, about your husband.

* Say something that you admire or appreciate about your husband...to your husband...and to someone else, about your husband!

What a wonderful way to be a blessing to our spouses and a wonderful opportunity to see God work...

Today's challenge:

The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life." Prov. 31:11-12

"To help you get started, have you ever thanked your husband for "choosing you" above all other women? He found you attractive as a person, and appreciated you. Though many circumstances in your marriage may have changed, let your husband know that you are glad God led you together, and that you want to be a blessing to him for the rest of your marriage.

Let him know that he can trust you to be in his corner.

One of the best opportunities to express your gratitude is first thing in the morning. How do you greet your husband each morning? Is he confident in your love? Give him a "wake up call" that he'll never forget-a big "I love you" and an "I'm so glad I'm

your wife!"

I have made a point in doing this on a regular basis already, I thank him right away for something he does for me or the children and I complement him on things too. I love the smile that goes to his eyes when I do this. And I can see the biggest impact on him when I say something positive to him when he has had a hard day at work. And my reward is him folding me into his arms for one of those everlasting hugs that the children usually come to "break it up". Just knowing that he can always count on my support and encouragement means the world to him. And the added benefit of the children seeing the closeness between their parents is priceless.

So I thought when I found this challenge that I would go ahead and put myself through it for 30 days and see what NEW ways I can find to encourage and uplift him. And I look forward to the blessings I know will come out of it.

If any of you decide to do this also, please let me know how it goes and the changes that you see. And have fun with it. Like I said, many blessings will come from your encouraging words.

Tuckor's new "baby"

2008-09-08T12:17:00.001-07:00

The children have a rubber roach. (I have NO idea where they found it.) (Oh and ggrrrr) But when I was over at the food show with daddy, there was a guy there with a booth for getting rid of the yucky things. And when I told him how my children like to put the one that they have in the frig for momma to find, he handed me 5 of them, telling me to put them in their lunch boxes. While I did get a laugh over that, I just gave them to the children fully expecting them to show up EVERYWHERE.

What I did not expect is my Tuckor adopting one of them as his "baby". Last night he decided to go to bed with me and as he laid down beside me, he was telling me to give kisses to baby. SO I more than willingly puckered up to give my Tuck a kiss good night. He promptly told me "NO - my baby ni ni ki" as he pointed to the pillow beside my face. I looked to see what his "baby" was, I found one of those rubber roaches.

After reassuring my husband, who came running at the sound of my screams, I looked at Tuckor who was looking at me WAITING for momma to kiss his "baby" "ni ni." So I did what any good mother would do and I kissed his "baby ni ni." After which my dear son rolled over and went directly to sleep.

WELL, today when he crawled up in my bed for his nap, there AGAIN was his "baby" beside him on MY pillow.

As much as I loath the rubber "baby", I think it is adorable. Only a mother's heart huh?

One day I will tell him about this and show him these pictures and I will SO enjoy the laughter that I know will come bellowing out of his mouth.

Our Trip to the ER...

2008-08-21T06:37:00.001-07:00

Last night, at the end of Tuckors bath, he was trying to be silly(as always) and he slipped and fell slamming his face down on the side of the tub. I heard him fall and I was waiting for Wesley's call to me for help and sure enough.....I went running. Tuckor's face and chest were covered in blood. When we got him cleaned up I knew right away that we needed to take him in for stitches.

Took 3 nurses and Wes and I to hold him down and get him sewed up. Poor nurse that was sewing him up had to deal with his mother telling her how to do her job, but it all turned out okay and he is just fine.

(above) After we got home.

He settled right into our bed and stayed there all night.

Curled up with mom.

See? This was taken this morning. He is back to his normal self.

LOL What can I say about that? He keeps wanting to look at himself in the mirror and he told me once that it hurt. But other than that, he is okay.

A storm is a brewing

2008-08-19T09:02:00.000-07:00

Well the first session of home school went great and today was good too.
It is not so much the older two with the school work that is the problem right now, it is my Tuckor who is the issue. He is the most strong willed, stubborn child I know.
Took me 10 minutes this morning to convince him that he WAS indeed going to pick up ALL the shoes he through on my kitchen floor. And I am still trying to keep him from body slamming our 8 month old onto our tile floor. He STILL thinks that the frig is HIS own personal playground and the contents are up to him to decide if they are in need of being tossed in the trash. And in fact NO he can NOT open the dryer, through all the towels on the floor and crawl in to play! The diapers do NOT need to be taken OUT of the drawer and put into my closet and PLEASE DO NOT take every single baby wipe out of the box just to wipe up ONE SMALL drop of jam off the floor and if you let that dog back into this house one more time.....................................AAAAWWWW
I heard there was a storm out there somewhere named FAY, but I have my own little hurricane in my house named Tuckor. =~)
I just got back from a girls wkend with no kids, but I feel like I need another RIGHT NOW!

(I can only BELIEVE that I will be laughing about it all tomorrow.) LOLOL

My Papa and Grammie

2008-07-28T06:32:00.001-07:00

I also found these and thought I'd post them for you mom. This is my Papa and Grammy.

Miss them and love them so.

This was at our house on Jardon St. This was a special moment as we had both sets of grandparents there with us.
Sorry, I know the quality is bad. I love these old pictures. SO many good memories.

Older pictures that I found.

2008-07-28T06:22:00.001-07:00

As I was going through some things I came across my old scrap book and I sat down to take a look. This is some of what I found.

This is Austin at his graduation from Marine boot camp.

Love this picture.
Me and Austin.

(remember who's jacket that was that I had on Allana?)

hehe

Aaron trying to be like his big brother.

Showing us some of the things he had to do.

I have more, but these are the ones I knew I wouldn't get in trouble for posting. Jen I will have to show you the others some time. I have a few from the hotel of you and Austin.

Pictures from AYC past...

2008-07-28T05:53:00.001-07:00

Since Allana posted some pictures of AYC when we attended, her and I were talking about them and so I went looking and found some of what I had. So here they are. They are in no particular order and the quality is not the best. Sorry about that. Allana (or anyone) you need to help me with the names of some.

Eric Martian. This is the year that we took the van up.

The Penn View quartet. I believe that is Rhine, Plank, Durkee and I do not remember the other. I loved hearing them sing. I thought they were real good.
Derek out on the fields.
I do not remember who these good looking gentleman are. I do remember hanging out with them and all but I can't remember who they are. I remember sitting around and talking with the one on the right.
This was on the bus. That is Montene and I and then again, can't remember who this guy is either. (so sad)
Jason Martian and I believe that was Allan Roach... they were playing that game where you slap each other on the arm.....hhhmmm must be a guy thing. Very entertaining though.
Rochenda and Joy
Michelle
LOVE this picture.....hehe
Again I am sorry about the name thing.

OUR GRANDCHILD...

2008-07-15T16:38:00.000-07:00

We finally heard from Wes and Crystal and their ONE baby is growing perfect and strong, just how SHE should be. Yes, we are going to have a grand daughter. Talk about relieved and so very excited now.
Thank you to those of you who were helping us pray for them and the baby.

HEAVEN'S NURSURY....

2008-06-24T12:57:00.000-07:00

HEAVEN'S NURSERY
In Heaven there must surely be
A special place, a nursery
Where 'little spirits' not fully grown
Go to live in their Heavenly home.
The angels must attend with love
Tiny spirits on wings of doves,
The choir of angels must sing lullabies
Maybe quieten their tiny cries.
The Father must come by each day
To cuddle and play in a special way
These tiny spirits left earth too soon
Little ones called Home from the womb.
These sparks of life did not perish
But came to the Father's love to cherish,
To grow and be taught in His own arms
Safely away from all earthly harm.
The comforter was sent to earth at once
To the parents who lost their little one
Their hearts so ache, their arms feel empty
The question 'why' seems so tempting.
Then all at once in the midst of tears
There comes a peace that stills the fears
The parents share the Father's own need
To hold their tiny spirit being.
They relinquish their own desperate hold
And release their baby to the Father's fold,
Then comes an angel to whisper the truth
Of a nursery in Heaven bearing rich fruit
Of tiny spirits chosen to worship the Father
A place that couldn't be filled by another,
Called to be spared from the struggles of earth,
Chosen to be one of Heaven's births.
So Father, whisper words of love from me

To our unborn 'life' in your nursery.

I found this poem in a magazine I get called 'Above Rubies'

I think it is so sweet and SO true, so I thought I'd share it with you. The link to Above Rubies web site is on the right of my page. You should check it out. I highly recommend it.

A day at the water park...

2008-06-23T11:56:00.001-07:00

A few years ago the county put in a water park in one of our regular parks here. They children love going here. It is a nice place to meet up with friends and cool off, have a picnic and just have a good time. The best part is that it is free. So here are some pictures of our fun day with some friends.

(sure did wish you were there with us Aunt Lee and cousins)

Taylor is running behind the yellow pole.

Tuckor just ran and ran around like the crazy little guy he is.

Playing with the baby. They have small little jets of water popping up here and there for the little ones. And it keeps their attention good as they try to catch the water when it shoots up.

My cute little guy.

So cute.

Tannor making his "I'm hungry" face.

He was very pleased with himself for climbing up the slide(not the stairs) all by himself.

Trevor (note the merry-go-round in the back. Two buses of kids showed up and they ALL ran right for this thing. and the noise level went up REAL far in 2 seconds)

Taylor

This park is beautiful. Many large trees as you see here.

Can't wait to go again soon.

updates...

2008-06-17T18:11:00.000-07:00

We have a quick update on Wesley and Crystal. Her doctor heard a noise in the background when he was checking on the baby's heart rate. So she is scheduled for an ultra sound to find out if there are twins or a birth defect. We are praying for twins(not that we have a choice)

She is doing well though and they are both getting more and more excited over this new life growing inside of her. Please keep them in your prayers though. So young to be parents.

(still trying to get one blanket made for our little grandchild, now I may need to make another....) I am not complaining, just trying not to get too excited over the prospect of TWO grand babies!!!! :)

Our long awaited visit to see the cousins...

2008-06-16T07:32:00.000-07:00

Well, we finaly made it over to Hobe Sound to visit with Aunt Lee, Uncle Rob and the much loved cousins. We decided that we were not going to try to do a lot this time, just relax and enjoy each others company. And that is just what we did. Poor Rob got stuck watching 8 of the 9 one night for a few hours as I went to work with Lee one evening, but he lived to talk about it. Thank you Rob. Your a good man.

Instead of explaining each photo I will just say that we took them to the beach one day and hung out at the house and took them out to eat. They had lots of fun but were not happy when it was time to leave. As always I was asked 100 times why we couldn't stay longer or why Becca or Eli couldn't come home with us for a while. lol

Too cool for you...

(Okay, so I just had to put a caption here.)

He was very pleased that he had his cup. too cute James

The older boys got a catfish a blow fish and some other things and the little ones thought it was very interesting..

I love my sister!!

The crew of children right before we left to go home. Very good looking group of chidren they are. We had a great time and yes I was one of the ones who didn't want to leave. LOL

Here is a short clip of the little ones looking at the fish that were in the bucket.

And here is a clip of Aunt Lee playing with Tannor.

These are for you mom...

2008-06-05T04:42:00.000-07:00

This is the latest picture of him. 6 months old and already 25lbs

This was when I went down to St. Pete Beach with the girls for the wkend.

(keep reading on down as I have posted more to make up for lost time.)

Memorial Day fun with the family...

2008-06-05T04:10:00.000-07:00

We cooked out at Aaron and Heathers this year. Grammie always brings fun stuff for the children when she comes and this is what they got this time. Water guns, they had a blast with them.

and more water fun. I was a good thing mom brought them. It turned out to be a very hot day.

Trevor drying off afterwards.

Well, what can I say about this one. hehe

Wesley and mom playing daddy's new game. It was fun and aggravating all at the same time.

Love this picture of us.

The family sitting around watching the kiddos play.

Taylor and Kialee driving the go -cart. (they get the face making from their grammie)

I think Tuckor ate more of the soap than he got turned into bubbles. At one point he went to say something to me and a bubble came out instead of words. lol

Our dog.

Aaron and Heather playing in the trees. lol They look very cute together. It was a fun day, thank you Heather.

Me, chillaxin on the coach. I was trying to cool off in the air condition for a bit.

My hubby playing with the kiddos go cart. It really is a lot of fun to drive around.

Taylor's Girl Scout Events...

2008-06-04T16:47:00.000-07:00

First I need to say sorry, but these pictures are out of order & instead of uploading them again...in order - I have chosen to NOT!!

SO............ this was at Taylor's Girl Scout Tea Party. Here she and her friends were decorating a bag.

Here she needed mommies help and I did so - even though my finger tips were burnt from helping her earlier with the hot glue gun. YIKES (been a while.)

Here she is receiving some of her patches and other awards for the year. Way to go Taylor, you did great.

Some of her friends in the troop.

Each night they do what is called 'girl scout out'. They stand in a circle holding hands and they go around and spell out g-i-r-l- s-c-o-u-t and who ever is after the 't' is out of the circle and they shout(very loudly) 'bye bye girl scout'. And that is they way they close the meeting. Very cute and they have tons of fun doing it.

This is the troop in uniform at the Bridging Ceremony. (graduation for those who are moving on the be juniors)

At the Bridging, they have a silent auction. There were many bags and baskets full of things for the girls. Well this particular one was filled to the top of girly things that Taylor just had to have. SO being the Best est Most Fabulous Mother In The World that I am, (hehe) I dutifully fought with another mother and daughter over the bidding. Taylor and her friend had their eyes locked on the table and EVERY time the other mother would go write down a new bid they would come running. So I would wait till they would walk away and I would go bid them up. Well, at one point the other little girl went up to check and went RUNNING (with a terribly frightful look on her face, I might add) to her mother completely devastated that I had bid them up one whole dollar. So after trying to calm the girl with cake, cookies, chips, more cookies and yet another piece of cake, the distraught child drug her unwilling mother back up to the table and demanded that she bid again. SIGH....... I truly wish that I could say that I quit bidding and aloud that sad, pitiful, completely deserving little girl to win the bid, but HECK NO are you kidding? I had to play this one. SO I went back up to see her bid which was 5$ more than what I had done so I bid her up one whole.........................penny! Yes, Yes I did, but I think the lemonade they had there was drugged because if I had been in....Oh forget it! YES I did it and I laughed the entire way back to my seat and sat there gleefully awaiting the blessed child's return. Well you guessed it, she returned and her mother was forced yet again to big me up. Well after all of that, I decided I should check my purse to see if I even had some cash in my purse and turned out ...I didn't. SO I went to my daughter to tell her that we could no longer bid as they could only take cash and I didn't have enough. And she very sweetly told me 'that's OK mommy. Thank you for trying"...........NOT she very quickly puckered up her lips and began to cry and tell me in her most convincing voice that she could muster why exactly she just HAD to have that bag and that I NEEDED to find some more money. So I ran to my friends till I found enough money and went back to the table and bid her up again, just as we were told that the bidding was over. I WON, WE WON, TAYLOR WON. YAAAAAAAAY! I looked around for the other lady and her BEAUTIFUL daughter and I couldn't find them. Yes, they had left. I was very thankful for this lesson that I learned though. ALWAYS buy my daughter what she wants. NO I'm kidding. I didn't learn one. LOL Okay mom stop having a fit, yes you raised me better than that. I learned that my children are NOT the perfect little dolls I had made them out to be in my head.

I still think the whole thing is hilarious though. She sure has enjoyed her prize, has carried it everywhere with her.

Okay, now back to the tea party. This was one of our tables...

and this was the other.

and some more crafts!

Our precious children...

2008-06-04T16:44:00.000-07:00

WOW!!!

2008-05-02T12:59:00.000-07:00

We are very excited about this new addition and I am busily making a blanket for my little grand baby.

She is due November 30 - so I will keep you updated!

2008-04-25T13:33:00.001-07:00

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

God's little blessings...

2008-04-16T13:03:00.000-07:00

Tuckor has been trying to get the 'potty' thing down. He was all excited when he first got his new potty. He did his buisiness in it a few times and then forgot about it for a while. Well today, he came and asked me if he could take his diaper off, thinking he wanted a new one, I said yes. He went right to the bathroom telling me that he needed to "go sit".

After a bit I went to check on him and found this...

thank God for small favors..another child potty training himself!!

kids will be kids.....

2008-04-13T17:13:00.000-07:00

Did you hear about the teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put his boots on?

He asked for help and she could see why. With her pulling and him pushing, the boots still didn't want to go on. When the second boot was on, she had worked up a sweat. She almost whimpered when the little boy said, " teacher, they're on the wrong feet."

She looked, and sure enough, they were. It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on - this time on the right feet.

He then announced, "these aren't my boots." she bit her tongue rather than get in his face and scream. "why didn't you say so?" like she wanted to do. Once again she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off.

He than said, "they are my brothers boots. My mom made me wear them." She didn't know if she would laugh or cry. She than mustered up the grace to wrestle the boots onto his feet again.

She said, "now, where are your mittens?" He said,

"I stuffed them in the toes of my boots....."

a forever love.....

Tannor had the giggles the other night when I was trying to get him ready for bed. Was so cute.

Tuckor is still learning to drive this thing. Wes or I still have to follow him around or one of the other kids must drive him around. Or he will just go in circles, which is more than okay with him!

Doesn't matter to him, he just loves the thing!

Totally loves it!

Our childrens favorite way to end the day.

Yes, he has found his thumb! And he is sooo cute when he does it.

Now it is his favorite way to put himself to sleep if I am not holding him.

Easter....

Tuckor holding his egg! Took him a few tries to get a good hold on it, but he finally got it.

Tuckor still looking for eggs. They had so many, Aunt Carol had to go get them each a bag for the over flow eggs.

Taylor was the first to break it open, but it took one of the older cousins to smash it open.

Trevor found the high eggs. He was running all over looking up. Was too funny.

I think they got plenty of sugar.

Our Children

2008-03-25T15:49:00.000-07:00

This is our oh so happy baby. His name is Tannor Andrew Oscar Campbell. He is 4 months old, and by far our biggest baby. He is about 20 pounds now and always ready to talk and smile.

This is Tuckor Jonathan Ray Campbell. He is 2 and our crazy child. It seems that I am always getting him out of something or down off something. But his laugh is contagious andhis smile will melt your heart.

Trevor Carl Alexander Campbell is my "best buddy" or so he says. I am sure I will have to remind him of that later on, but for now I will take it. He is a boy scout and loves all the adventures. He is thoughtful, and loving, very much trying to become a young man.

Taylor Morgan Adel Campbell is our only girl. She is 8 going on 18. She is so much like me it scares me. She can be a girlie girl one minute and the next in the middle of what ever the boys are doing. She loves to read, write, draw and do whatever I am doing. I love spending time with her as we are the only girls, we go on girls nights out. Lots of fun.

This is Wesley Jr. and his fiance' Crystal. He is 22 and lives up in Ga near his mother. He did live with us for a bit, but then went back to his mother. He has grown into a very good looking young man and we are pround of the man he has become. We just wish that we could see him more often. The children call his "small Wesley".
