Happy early Christmas to us!!!

One day we received an Express Mail package from Dad and Rexine and low and behold, a red wrapped Christmas present that said, "Merry Christmas OPEN NOW!" And here is what we got!




So, um, yeah, the camera issue has been fixed. Now if I can get myself to sit down and write on my blog.... ;)

Sorry for the inconvenience..

Folks, the blogathon has been (probably more than) temporarily halted. Due to technical difficulties of having, somehow, lost our camera. We, the Campbell's, have no cute pics to show you about our lives. So sorry. Maybe, one day, we'll find it (I really doubt that, we looked EVERYWHERE,) or buy a new one, (that's gonna be a while.) So, until who knows when, adieu.

Love,
Matt's wife

P.S. Northern Utah is treating us just fine. We love our new place!

Just sharing good music. PRESS PAUSE on PLAYLIST!!

Easter Fun and Family Fun Time!

So, when Dad and Rexine got home from their mission in New Hampshire their report was scheduled for Easter weekend. So, I planned an Easter party with an egg hunt for the family. I hope everyone had lots of fun. We sure did. Here's some pics from the party.

Rachelle's fabulous Bunny and Eggs Cake!

Peyton racing Rexine around the church :)

Beau dug right in to the candy. What a treat!

Tanner shaking his egg. Hopefully that one had pennies in it!

And here's my little video I took. Just checking out the action. Sorry it is so wobbly.

Local Plumbing

So, Dad decided to have some plumbing done for an upright washer/dryer in the basement. So, here's the work. We figured we would leave a mark.. for history's sake. ;)

After the work was done it was sheet rocked and textured. We finally painted it to match the rest of the basement. Yeah, did I mention we painted almost all of the basement, plus molding and doors? Lots of work... lots!

Hello.Goodbye.

This is Sophie. I got her for my birthday.

Her first night home she jumped the fence and we couldn't find her.

The next day the pound called us. She'd been turned in.

We kept her for about 2 months, and realized she was toooooooo much for us.

So... we took her back. Sorry Soph! U R still cute!

Waiting and waiting...

Beau just couldn't wait for the cookies to be done. He stood like this for at least 5 minutes.

That's Some Big Bird!

One day I was driving over to Jamie's house and I looked over on the boulder and saw a HUGE bird! So, I went back to the house and got my camera because I couldn't find my dad's binoculars. So, here's the shot I got...

And then I blew that up as far as I could...

And again. It looked like an enormous wren or something.

But seriously, it was as big as a small person!


Then, suddenly it moved!! So I took another shot and blew it up like before and this is what I got out of it....

It's a Bird, not a plane, it's a... Crane!! In St. George. On top of an enormous rock!!

Seriously, it was HUGE!.

I called Jamie and she went out to look at it. Ask her, she'll back me up.

Happy Murder Party for me!

Officially, I'm 28. Oy ve! So, we celebrated with a murder mystery party.

It was set in the 50's, and we had a blast, but who did it?

Instead of cake, this year I went for trifle. YUMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt was the local gas station greaser.
I was Miss Kansas City.

Bonnie was awesome as the local gossip reporter. Her outfit was Perfection!

Rachelle was your typical 50's girl. Cute!!

James was a Russian rocket scientist. hehe... :)

Michael was the 50's stud-muffin.

Jamie, the blonde beauty (although pretty preggers...) ;)

In the end, it wasn't me. It was my twin sister... hehe...

Thanks for the fun birthday party guys!!!!!

Fun Photos of my boys

Here's some of my favorites...

Beau decided to climb into this box and play so Matt picked him up to "carry him out to the trash." Needless to say, there was a lot of giggles and squeals. :)

Here's my two handsome guys strolling to the play area of a park on Dixie Downs Drive. They happened to match that day. I'm sure Beau insisted on it.

Here they are at Hurrah Pass near Moab, UT.

This one will probably end up in a frame on my wall. :)

And last, but no least, Beau at Hurrah Pass.

He almost glows, doesn't he?

My beautiful baby boy!

Love in a Vase :)

My husband loves me.

Happy Valentine's Day to me!!

Hearts for Heart Day

So, for Valentine's Day the Girls and I, (Bonnie, Jamie Prax, and myself,) decided to make a heart meal for the kids. We got together and made Heart Pancakes, Eggs, and Sausage. Yummy!!

Our Heart Meal :)

Pyromania

After New Years we went to the Warner Valley dunes to burn the tree. We took our very good friends with us, the Prax's, and the Fernelius' (minus Josh.) We roasted marshmallows and the kids had fun playing and looking for bugs with their flashlights. :)

Matt, the Pyro... hehe..

The Girls. Oh, fond memories.... :)

A very cute, but sideways photo of Bonnie and the boys.

Another sideways pic of the Prax family. Sorry guys.

Here we are! Yay for burning the tree!!

Christmas Memories

We had a good Christmas this year. Beau fell in love with his shopping cart and his Hot Wheels tracks! Him and Daddy had a lot of fun playing with them. :)

And, on Christmas Eve we kept with tradition and had our "Journey Meal" while we told the story of Christ's birth. Beau got lucky and had a fruit roll-up for his dried fruit. He was loving it!

We went to Panda Garden for dinner and it was wonderful!! You should really try it sometime for Christmas! No dishes!! :)

*** COMING SOON!! ***

New and interesting stuff to read and view...

Thank you for your patience.
