The last two weeks in a very large nutshell...

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL


Yep, I'm the only mother on the face of the earth that only took 1 picture of her kids on the first day of school. haha. I was slacking this year!! Emma is in 1st grade this year and totally loves it. She has an awesome teacher and of course, is the teacher's pet. Jaron is in 5th grade and has a totally awesome teacher too! He's still Jaron and doesn't like school, but he does really like his teacher so that helps a lot. :) No Lily is not in school... she just likes to think she is and carries her backpack with her every morning when we walk to school. The first day, she had her lunch box too...haha



Carson is so cute and loves his rice cereal.


This particular morning I walked away and when I came back he looked like this. He was close enough to the bowl to dig right in himself. haha. Check out how fat his legs are... I have to squeeze them in there. (He can actually sit by himself and crawl around and is pulling himself up on things... so so fun now)


Jennifer and her new man. Jennifer and Mike (the guy she's been dating for a little while now) have been over a few times the last couple of weeks to just hang out, or watch movies. I've totally loved it. Clint and I think Mike is great and fun. Plus it's been so fun to be around Jen a lot more and Carson LOVES Mike's bling. haha. CLINT'S MOM'S BIRTHDAY! We had Clint's mom's bday 2 Sunday's ago and all had dinner together. It was really cool, cause Mallory (Kasey's girlfriend), and Kelly and Ashley came down for it. And Clint got permission to stop by and spend a little time with us. Yummy food and Fabulous company makes for an awesome night!

Happy bday Mama! oh- luvs and hugs

Grandpa holding Z... Kelly being his normal adorable self, and sooo cute pregnant Ashley!... ps.. They just found out they are having a girl!! They totally messed up the campbell mold (we've all had boys first) but we still love them and totally CAN'T WAIT to see the adorable little Layla Mei in February!!

Mallory and Shelly playing UNO with the girls. This is a usual and normal occurance in the campbell home! Poor Mall and Shell! Oh- another normal occurance is Kayden's finger gesture, but I'm pretty sure for the Campbell's it means 'I love you'!! :)

This is the only cheesecake I like. It's Bec's (Clint's sister) and it's the best!!! All other cheesecake I can't stand.. don't ask me why, I don't know. :)

LABOR DAY MORNING!!

On Monday morning Clint decided to take all of us on a little walk/hike. We went to the Mormon Tea Trail (piece of cake, less than a mile, all paved) and walked it. Clint made a little lesson out of it so we decided it would be out Family Home Morning. It was really fun and we had a little picnic at the trail head after we got back. Then went to Anthem Hills Park and played for a little while.







LABOR DAY AFTERNOON!!

All the Campbell's met at River Mountain Park and had a fun afternoon of eating, waterballoon olympics, ohter games, and volleyball. It was so nice and it's the reason I love labor day so much. It's been a tradition to get together with Campbell's at the park and I don't ever want it to end. So fun!!

Min and Emma goofing off

Kolby and Carson looking so handsome. Don't ya love Kolby's shirt!

Dad and Clint playing... oh crap... what's this game called... oh well, the game with the pvc pipes and golf balls tied to a string. haha.

The girls!!... LtoR: Avi, Lily, Bryn, Min, and Emma

Kourtney and his sooo cute girlfriend, Christen.

The boys: LtoR: Ty, CJ holding Z, Jaron, and Kamron

Z and Carson enjoying their water balloons not suspecting what was coming next.....

Oh No!!! Carson's Popped!!

Oh No!! Z's popped on Carson too!! haha.

The water balloon shotput. Everyone has perfect form... well, almost everyone... Lily was positive this was how it was to be held. Too funny to watch her so serious holding it in the wrong place. haha.

Nice toss in the bucket Emma! Grandpa has such cool games everytime we go to the park!!

Jaron, careful and methodical... and still misses. haha.

The sweet baby boys!... Car and Zebo!

Jeni, hanging out in the sand pit with all the munchkins. This was a highlight for most of the kids.

Vball fun... Clint, Keith, and Gregg against Dad, Shelly, CJ and Kyler

FUN, FUN, FUN!!! I was totally going to give you crap for not posting about the 1st day of school yet and I sign on and wa-la! :) Heidi, too, carried a backpack and lunch pail to school every day while taking Saydi to school!

Oh I can't wait to see your kids (and you too). they are getting so big... Lily is so funny! I love her personality. Carson is adorable too!

Ashby Family said...

That's a great way to wrap up the summer. We so need to get together!

Allison said...

Finally you have updated your blog! The kids are so darn cute!
I didn't even take a picture of Dallan this year...so don't feel bad about only taking 1 picture of the kids. The game that is made from pvc is called Montana Golf-at least that is what we call it.
I am glad to see all the pictures and descriptions. I have never met Kasey, Kayden, and Kourtney's girlfriends (fiance') so it is nice to put a name with a face.

Jenn said...

Wow...that must have been a crazy couple of weeks! It looks like you guys had alot of great fun. I think it is funny that Kelly and Ashley are naming their little girl Layla Mei. We are naming ours Lily Mei. I guess great minds think alike.

Shelly Benson said...

"very large nutshell" you are too funny. There are so many great pictures in here, but I love the one of Clint and the kids on the bench during your hike. So sweet.

Also, what's this "poor Shelly" business? I pretend that I'm all self-sacrificing, but really I love playing UNO/card games with the kiddos (although, I have to admit that Go Fish at the beach house was starting to get on my nerves). :)

Kendra said...

Dang, you have a fun life!! Where is that trail located? That sounds like a fun little family hike!!

Heather said...

And I thought that I was behind on my blog...Looks like you had fun though..
