Who's a Sunbeam?

Porter is officially a Sunbeam. I cant believe it! My little boy.

Happy New Year


We love the Cundari's! We were so excited to bring in the New Year with them. What amazed me the most was how many of my kids were still up at midnight! There was no question where the photo was going to be taken...Lydia was asleep...so I guess we will crowd around her, my little sleepy head. Laurie and Dave are our best friends! Every month we come together for game night. Boys vs Girls. I will be honest and say that the Boys win most of the time. But that doesn't stop Laurie and I from doing a little trash talk every now and again ( harmless/playful fun) The four of us are very competitive and very similar in many ways, so it makes for a rowdy, and lively good time. Scott and I are so grateful for their friendship and love in our lives.

Merry Christmas From all of Us to You

Merry Christmas from the Campbell's, Lichty's and Adamska family!

Its a wonderful feeling for a mother and father to see the happy, smiling faces on their children's faces as they race down the stairs to see what Santa has brought them.

Every year Scott takes the kids out Christmas shopping one by one. They always do a great job on a budget! Its amazing the cool stuff they find for each other that I would never think of getting. Its great to see my children think of others and to watch the excitement that they have for the person opening their gifts.

Lydia received a voice recorder for Christmas and the first thing that she said on it was, "Daddy has STINKY farts!" She had us all laughing. Lydia is so funny.

Scott and I have been planning a Big surprise for the kids this year for Christmas. We decided to have the surprise spelled out in boxes.

One box, one word per child.

Spells out:

"We're Going to Disneyland!"

Well I do have to say the excitement wasn't what Scott and I had anticipated at all. As the kids were opening the first three boxes they shouted out...."We're Going to Canada!" And we said no, that's not it. We are going to Canada in March... But their is another surprise. We have been hyping up Canada so much that when they opened the last box saying Disneyland, they said, "OH!"

Scott and I are glad that they are that exited about taking a 10 day motor home trip to Canada. Its our first big trip as a family. Something that they will always remember....if not, you know I will have millions of photos documenting that big event!

Lydia was so excited to give Gammie her present that she purchased at the 10cent store at Lakewood school. Gammie loved her new scarf!

This year Gammie has been slaving away making the children's gifts!

We were spoiled rotten with her remarkable talent!

Christmas 2010 Talent Show

The best talent this year was the opening act! Performed by Aunt Whitney and Uncle Ben! Whitney was blowing on her finger, which somehow magically made her stomach grow.
