Everybody Say Cheese!

Last Saturday my entire family was in one place for a short amount of time. So of course there is only one major thing that you need to get done and update...family photos! Tifani and her family got here last week and her husband had to leave on Sunday. Lets just say that it was a little chaotic and crazy! I guess that is just what happens when you have a big group. But it was fun and these will last us for a couple years until Matt comes home and we all have a few more kids to add in. Linds did a great job editing all of the pictures and making them gorgeous...Thanks! Until next time...

My True Color






Take this test!


You're yellow, the color of joy and energy — two things you definitely bring to everyone around you. It's hard for anyone to be sad or lonely in your presence; your sunny disposition and cheery outlook just won't allow it. The warmth of your personality shines through in the kindness you show friends and family (and strangers, too). Always ready with a lighthearted joke or heartfelt compliment, you know how to make people feel good about themselves, so they can't get enough of you. Yellow is a warm and inviting color for a warm and inviting person — you!

Daddy Time





Dave has been having some really long days at work the past few weeks. By the time he gets home the kids are just going crazy! The kids decided to build a fort with all of the pillows from the couch. I know the kids were loving having Daddy Time...I think Dave might of been catching a little shut eye under there too!

Moon River



I was trying to get the kids in the tub last night and Ashlynn was refusing to get in. Tyler was sad that she wasn't getting in. But that quickly changed when I said he could go swimming and have the whole tub to himself! He was so excited and dove right in...I couldn't resist posting this pic of his cute little bum!

Here's the Skinny on Dave

The TAGGING just keeps coming around and this time I was hit by LIZ! This is a really long one but it's fun so you will have to bear with me.









What is his name? David Wayne Campbell (not sure where Wayne came from)


How long have you been together? We've been married 9 1/2 years


How long did you date? 1 year


How old is he? 33


Who eats more? That would be Dave

Who said I love you first? I'm pretty sure it was Dave because I was to scared to say it first.

Who is taller? Dave is by an inch and a 1/2.

Who can sing better? I think he does, but I think he would say I can sing too.

Who is smarter? Hands down Dave!

Who does the laundry? Dave does his and I do the rest

Who pays the bills? That would be me

Who sleeps on the right side? Dave

Who mows the lawn? Dave...I have never mowed a lawn in my life.

Who cooks dinner? Mostly me~but Dave can cook AMAZING food!

Who drives? Dave

Who is more stubborn? ME...and Dave would agree 100%!!!

Who kissed who first? Dave kissed me and I was so dang nervous! But I have to say it happened because I was the FIRST one to ask what the heck was going on between us!!

Who asked who out first? Dave asked me out first. I had just got home from a road trip with my girlfriends and he called right as I walked in the door. He picked me up 10 minutes later and I have no clue how I showered and got ready so fast. But it impressed the heck out of him...that hasn't happened since.

Who proposed? Dave~he did it twice actually with a ring each time...it was GREAT!

Who has more friends? We both have an enormous amount of friends! We each had our own groups of friends when we got married but now they are all married and we love all of their spouses and we get along great! We've moved around so much and have made the greatest friendships all over. Now we have more friends than we know what to do with and always have people to hang with. WE LOVE IT!!!

Who is more sensitive? Sorry babe but that would be me. (he knows it too!)

Who has more siblings? Me (5), Dave (4)

Who wears the pants? Dave and I both are so opposed to this phrase because we both hate being controlled or told what to do. I have to say that we SHARE the pants.

Thanks Liz...this was fun! It took me back and helped me remember so many fun things. There are so many pieces of Dave and I love him! Dave is an amazing father and husband. He is incredibly successful in whatever he decides to do! He is a fantastic Chiropractor and is such a hard worker. I admire him and I feel so lucky. I love how he makes me laugh and how goofy he is. Dave loves to have fun and let loose & even gets a kick out of embarrassing me at times...just to get me out of my comfort zone. I am a lot more cautious and held back~Dave is the exact opposite and helps me to relax. I like to think though that I help him too~we balance each other out. He definitely makes our lives more interesting and exciting and I'm grateful for that...well most of the time!

Now I only want to TAG a few people because I'm curious about their answers and would love to know! So...Tifani, Lindsey, Adria and Megan...you are it!! Anyone else is welcome to play, I just wasn't sure how many of my friends liked to be tagged. It takes a little while to answer all the questions but it was fun to reminisce.

For my sister...

As I am sitting here...at this very moment my sister Tifani is in her bedroom with her kids and they are hiding for their dear lives because of these guys right above! I called her this morning and asked how things were going? She immediately said, "NOT GOOD!" The poor things have another mouse running around their apartment and my sister has had enough. Her husband had to get to school so Tifani took action~she grabbed diapers, snacks, the phone and some movies and took cover. She locked themselves in her bedroom and covered the door cracks. This is their 2ND mouse in a month! The last one Jake killed with a plastic bat...I wonder what this poor rodent will be mutilated with? I am hoping that Jake is home now and that the hunt has begun. I just had to write something about it...sorry Tif. I am not laughing...well maybe a little...but I know how you feel...we have had a little "Gus Gus" before. Stand guard and in high places...may the force be with you! Love you Tif!!

Grandpa's Funeral~Jan. 4th 2008




What a special day today was. It was a day full of many things...Memories, Tears, Happiness, Laughter, Sadness, Music, Stories & More Stories, Love, Tenderness, Reunion, Wonder, Prayer, the Holy Spirit and most of all Peace. It was a day of overwhelming love for my Grandpa.







Grandpa loved sweets...he would hide goodies in his shed or in the back of the van...Grandma never knew until just before his passing. He also would always have these little throat drops in his shirt pocket whenever you might need them. 3 of my Grandpa's brothers were here from North Carolina and we just LOVED having them here! I seriously could sit there and just soak them all in! We loved talking and hearing all sorts of stories and jokes. It made us feel like Grandpa was right there...and I'm sure that he really was. Tifani flew in that morning and we have just loved having her home with us. It's been so nice to have all of my sisters in one place. I am so grateful for my family and how close we all are! It was really a special day.
