Our Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas holiday. We started out having breakfast with Santa on Christmas Eve morning at Millennial Falls reception center. It was so much fun! Lucas absolutely loves Santa.

















Christmas Eve evening we had a party with the Jacobs family. It was so much fun. We ate yummy philly cheesesteak sandwiches and soup. We exchanged sibling and cousin gifts. This year instead of giving gifts to our parents and they giving gifts to us, we had previously done an angel tree. We really don't need anything, so it was nice to give to those that are in need. After the gifts, we sang carols (in the living room, not outside) and played Christmas Bingo.

On Christmas morning, Lucas woke up to open his presents. He got a hobby horse and a few other fun things from Santa. He was so cute when he saw the horse. He said, "Whoa!" It was adorable! I am so glad that we got it on video.









From Grandma and Grandpa Jacobs he got this little table. He will have so much fun eating on it and doing some fun crafts. Later that evening, we had a family party with the Campbell's. It was so much

fun. We ate prime rib. (Not me, gross) and a bunch of other food. We then exchanged gifts. We recieved a bunch of wonderful things. We ended the night by playing some fun games. Like a dork, I didn't get the camera out to take any pictures. I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Professional Portraits and Birthday Party for Lucas

OK... so I know that I am a total slacker, these things happened 2 weeks ago. I will try to get better and more on top of it.

We had Lucas get his pictures taken for his 2 year birthday. Of course, he fell asleep in the car and was not the happiest camper around. He did not smile as big as normal, but we were still able to get some cute ones. (Especially since he was wearing his cute new birthday outfit from Janie and Jack!)
He was showing us that he was not happy to get his picture taken.
We laughed so hard at this photo.
About a week later, we took him to get his Christmas pictures taken. He had a nap before and was in a really good mood! We had such a hard time choosing which photos to get. Here is just a sample of a few cute ones!
On December 11 we had a family birthday party for Lucas. It was a lot of fun. He just loves it when company comes over. He runs all over the house and dances. It is SO cute!

One of the presents that he got was a bike from Grandpa Campbell. He thought that he was such a big boy getting on it. He got a lot of other nice gifts from the family and "Aunt" Heidi.

Once again this year, I took on the challenge of making a cake for Lucas. He loves Barney, so I decided to try it. After I got done, I decided that I have mad cake making skills. Thanks Karlee, for helping me
color the frosting! He loves it

when people sing Happy Birthday. He was so excited that everyone was singing it to him and he decided to start "leading" the choir. He also was able to blow out all the candles on the cake by himself. What a big boy!

Happy 2nd Birthday Lucas!

I can not believe that our baby is 2! Time flies! They get big so fast. Lucas loves to play, sing, jump, dance, throw things, climb out of his crib, be outside, watch Barney and Mikey Mouse Clubhouse, and get into EVERYTHING!

We are so lucky to have him in our lives. It took us a long time to get him and then when he finally decided to come, we almost lost him. He is the biggest thing to happen in both our lives. He fills our day with love.

Have a wonderful birthday little buddy! Mommy and Daddy love you to pieces!

Thanksgiving, Snow and a Party

Ok...so I know that I haven't added some photos in a while. We have been having some technical difficulties with our computer.

We have been busy. Yesterday Lucas had a little birthday party for his playgroup friends at Boondocks. They all played in the Kiddie Zone and ate pizza and breadsticks. This picture is of Lucas sitting on the table after eating lunch and is about to open his gifts. Lucas says, "Thanks little friends for coming to my party and all the fun gifts that you gave me!"

We had a great Thanksgiving. We spent it with Ron's family at his sister Lisa's house. Ron's Grandma was also there. We played our annual dice game and ate until we about burst! There is always way too much food at every Campbell family function. :) I wish that I had a better picture of Lucas's outfit. It was so stinkin' cute! He looked like such a stud in his fall sweater vest.


Lucas loves the snow. I am so excited for it to snow again, get out the snow pants and teach him how to make angels and snowballs.

I Am Very Thankful

Things that I am thankful for...

1. Ron and Lucas - I am so lucky to have such a wonderful little family.
2. Health - Knowing that we are healthy is such a blessing.
3. Ron's Job - I am so glad that Ron has a job in this rough economic time.
4. My Mom and Dad - For all the things that they do for us. (They know what I mean!)
5. Fantastic Friends - I love that I have friends that will always be there for me.
6. Freedom - Living in a free country is a great feeling.
7. Food - I am privileged to have food on my table. I know that not all people have this staple.
8. Our Cars - Thanks for transportation and being able to get somewhere quickly.
9. Facebook - I know it's cheesy, but I am glad to have caught up with some old friends.
10. Holidays - I can't wait to spend the upcoming holidays with my family and friends that I love.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Golf Anyone?

The cutest golfer in America!
"Come play the back 9 with me!"

Halloween fun and then some

We went to a birthday party for cousin Brady at Bouncin' Off the Walls. Lucas had so much fun and was trying to climb this "wall" like all the big kids. I had to help him up the wall, but he did love all the other bouncy toys and the big slide.


Here is Lucas Trick or Treating. He had so much fun! We took him to about a total of 10 houses. He even got the concept of holding out his bucket to get candy. Once he received glow sticks from one

of the houses, he was done. He loved them! He is such a cute golfer! I will post his professional Halloween portrait when I figure out how to scan it onto the computer. (OK, let's be real...once I get Ron to do it.)









Lucas really seems to love this witch that we visited at Gardner Village!

Fall Pictures

We went up to Little Cottonwood canyon this past Sunday to take some fall pictures. The snow storm the weekend before had taken down a lot of the leaves, but there were still some pretty good ones left. Lucas is at the age that he really does not want to hold still and pose for a photo. Luckily, thanks to the patience of our photographer, we were able to get a few good ones. Lucas says, "Thanks Grandma Campbell!"

Pumpkin Patch Fun!

Lucas and I have been to the
pumpkin patch twice this week. We had so much fun the first time that we went back again to buy some more pumpkins. I have decided that I am going to buy my pumpkins at the patch every

year! They are so much cheaper and you have a HUGE selection. First we went with some of the playgroup friends, Ellie and Ryker. We had so much fun running around and picking out our pumpkins. The second time we went, we were with "Aunt" Karlee. Again we had so much fun driving the tractor and the wheel barrow. Lucas is at such a fun age and is enthralled with everything.

How do I start a Blog??

OK... I decided to start a Blog. I am very computer illiterate, so how am I actually going to do this? I guess that I will just try to work my way through it. Please give me some slack until I am up to speed. I will try to get some pictures on here and post some fun things. Until then...
