Girl-ism

A couple of good things happened to our family lately; my parents bought a house and my sister and brother in law are going to rent it and live closer.  As we found out the great news Saturday night; my girls stayed up late talking.  And it went something like this:

Not having Whitney, Ben, and Easton in the same ward with us is like

 having a caramel apple without the caramel.

Its like having guacamole without the lime.

Its like....

And they were making up sayings like that all night.

Love it!

Happy Halloween

Porter (Scooby-doo), Hazen (Dinosaur)

McKenzie (Hippie), Sarah (Belle)

Lydia (Cheerleader)

Look at that adorable face.  Hazen just loved being in the wagon as we went from house to house.

Hazen's first roll over

Hazen is thinking about rolling over. ( 6 1/2 months old)

I'm almost there....

I did it!

Girls and Boys

Scott and Porter wanted to sleep in the back yard.  Porter spent all day preparing for this special occasion with Daddy.

Well, since the boys were outside, the girls had there own sleepover in Mom's room.

We had a super fun time.

Carmel Vacation 2011

We added some thing new to the trip this year, a bond fire.  We all wondered why we didn't think of this before. 

Our first family photo with our new addition.

My boys

Cutie Pie- 4 Months

Hazen Campbell- 4 months old

Womens UOP Soccer Team

Scott had a great idea for all the kids...to attend the women's UOP soccer game. 

 They played San Jose State and

won 2-0.

All the girls were so excited to get autographs, but before they did that they were all asked to take a photograph with the whole team. 

She was the goalie. 

This player shared the same soccer number as Lydia, #3

This player scored all 2 goals.

First hair cut

Hazen, you were born with the cutest hair style.  All you blonde hair on top, gathered together and made a curly q.  But as time when on, your hair thinned. 
Gammie and Papa to the rescue.
Now you are my cute bald baby!
 

Preschool

Porter started preschool at Grace Presbyterian Preschool.  He loves it there.  Learning and growing and waiting to go with his sisters to Lakewood School.  Next school year will be the only year that all 4 of my children will be at the same school. 

My Sweethearts Big Day

We started off the birthday weekend with the Cundari's.  Laurie and Dave are so sweet to give him a birthday gift.  And I know that it took a lot of restraint being SF Giant fans to buy Scott an LA Dodger hat.  But what you don't see is the best thing of all.....

a LIGHTER

to burn it. 

Another great year with my wonderful husband whom I just adore.

My dad the "Human Swing."

My dad swung me, my sister and all my kids.

All about McKenize

You are such a terrific girl. 

I love you McKenzie.

Soccer sesson highlights

Lydia is so fast.

Lydia loves playing goalie.

The defender and the goalie.  Unstoppable Twins working together.

She winding up....watch out

Enlarge the photo if you cant see my Sarah starting to give the blue team a soccer jab.

Imagine that, Sarah aggressive?!

Sleepover

This was our first sleepover in our new house.  All the kids had an absolute blast! 

 Lydia and Sarah's dear friend, Morgan is moving to Idaho tomorrow. We were so very lucky to have her for one last play date. 

We divided up the rooms in two.  Georgia and McKenzie are so sweet to include Porter.  Porter goes wherever they go.  Its so cute.

We had eight kids at the house; and they were magnificent!!!  I'd have that many over again in a heart beat.

Turning 4

Happy Birthday Porter!

Porter's favorite cake is Sherry Cake. 

Porter is fascinated with the show, Max and Ruby.  And there is an episode titled "Super Bunny," where Max (wearing his cape) pretends to be a super hero and saves the day.  Gammie made Porters day and made him a cape. 

WOW, I barely captured Porter on film he was so fast.

Everyone who knows Porter, knows his love for trash, trash cans and trucks.  Aunt Whitney and Uncle Ben added to his love for trash by giving him a trash picker-upper.  Lets see if Porter can pick up the wrapper the present came in.

Yes!  He did it!



Oh, this boy loves loves loves Suzi Kelly!  She surprised Porter with loads of candy.  We love her and are lucky to have her and her family in our lives.

Grandma and Big Papa knew exactly what to get Porter.  It was a perfect fit for our house too.  Two cars that race each other by a push of a button.  We have a super long hallway just for that sort of thing.

"Super Porter"  was all tuckered out by the end of the day.  Thanks Mom for making his cape.  As you can tell, he LOVES it.
