i love flowers......

Valentines was a great day..First, my wonderful father n law sent me the big roses like he does everyyear to all his daughters and daughters n' laws. I think that is an awesome tradition. He truly is an amazing man! And then to my big surprise, my husband comes home with a present for each of the kids and flowers for me! WHAT? Am I seeing things? I didn't even get him a gift except for a dinner out and when we got there ( Jackson's grill) there was a set menu with 3 things to choose from in the appetizers menu. Brian didn't like any of them, but settled on the smoked salmon..which he didn't like, then instead of a sald he ordered the cauliflower soup..didn't like that either, then his filet came..WELL DONE, sent it back got another one..WELL DONE...ate it anyways and got a free dessert, the size of a ping pong ball. Over all very disappointed and it was only $150! YIKES! we'll rethink that next time! But we did have a nice valentines evening together when we got home said goodnight to all the kids and enjoyed our time together.. Hope ya'll did as well.

My VALENTINE

My valentine is my best friend and husband of almost 7 years...Brian Allen Campbell. He is a really sweet mellow and caring person. I am lucky that I was able to marry someone so genuine and true. I hope we will always be Valentines!!

P.S.Happy Valentines day to everyone out there!

Another SNOW day.

We had so much snow this past weekend that the kids got another snow day..now they will have to extend the school year because they have had too many snow days so far this year. We went to a favorite sledding spot but the kids were too cold and there was too much powder for them to really enjoy it. Trenton got a face full of it and just cried. I had another ultra sound and it is still a girl! That's good cause I gave away some boy stuff. She is small for my due dates so they put my due date now at June 6. (1 week later) but since I am C-section, it will still be at the end of May. I fell down the stairs last Wed. and hit my tailbone really hard so it is bruised although it feels broken! It is taking sooo long to feel better so I have been taking it easy. OUCH!

Little man Tate

We are thinking of Tate Lundell today as we have heard that he is in the hospital with phneumonia and RSV. I just spoke to Carrie and heard him wheezing as he was sleeping. I think back to both of my boys going through similar things and how stressful it is. We hope he gets well soon and gets to go home by Thursday..Our prayers are with you Tate and your family. P.S. Grandma Debbie ( Carries Mom) is flying out today to be with him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELISSA!

Yesterday was my oldest child Melissa's birthday. I can't believe she is already 15 years old...Where did the time go? She has grown and changed so much in th last couple years. We took her to Las Vegas for her birthday to see Miley Cyrus in concert and she got to bring her best friend Jessica. We weren't really planning to do this but Brian gave in and decided to surprise her unfortunately, her little sister saw something on my computer screen..(LITTLE MISS NOSEY!) and ratted it out. We had a good time and only stayed 1 night. I hope she never forgets it...oh, now I gotta start planning her 16th?

THE GREAT CHICAGO CAPER

After winning a murder mystery game at Christmas 5 years ago, we finally decided to host a murder mystery on Sat. We picked 3 couples that we know would be reliable and we had a great dinner and everyone came in costume. It was really fun but a little hard to figure out 'WHODUNNIT" Nobody guessed right. Brian was supposed to be dressed like an oldtime golfer and so we went to goodwill and found plaid pants that I turned into knickers and a plaid tie I hot glued into a bowtie, and old mans sweater vest and a hat we even cut off into a visor. It was only $13 and he looked great. ( that's including the golf club)

Happy Birthday "Jetters"!

Today is Jett's 5th birthday. He is so cute. He is one of my boys favorite cousins to play with. He has the cutest smile and is always fun. Whenever Trenton and Jett get to see eachother, they run and embrace. It is so cute to see them get together..we just don't get to enough. Happy Birtday Jett..YOU ROCK!!!
