Walking in Denver

Yep, Campbell man is a WALKER!!! He's been taking steps for a while and last week he kept taking more and more and more. By Friday he was WALKING more than crawling.

This was him on Friday. I think it's so cute to see his little self walking. Look how he's keeping those hands up for balance. Notice this next pic he's a little more relaxed after a few days of being a true WALKER.

And another bit of important news.......CAMPBELL is ELEVEN months today!!! Time to celebrate!

Simmer down now....he's going for the O'Douls. No worries people!!

Wordy Wednesday

Backing out of the driveway the other day.....

Spencer: "Mama! Mama! WAIT!!! You forgot your lipstick."

How lucky am I to have a son who is making sure his Mama always looks her best!!!

During bath the other night Spencer had this to tell us

Spencer: "This is my Grandmother's dress. She let me borrow it. Do you love it?"

I told you he was KOO KOO, I mean creative!! Yep you guessed it, that's THE dress!

MUW Homecoming

MISSISSIPPI UNIVERSITY FOR WOMEN - HOMECOMING 2009

10 Year Reunion!!!!

A crew of us stayed at Shadowlawn Bed and Breakfast. It's a beautiful antebellum home right next to the "W". Two whole nights of sleep without having to deal with a baby in wee hours of the night. I couldn't wait!! Not to mention the excitement of spending time with my W girls!!

On a side note...Friday we were to meet up for lunch. Wouldn't you know Campbell woke up that morning with a ugly rash and a fever!!! I mean really my first time away from him at night and he's gonna do this! So that morning I took him straight to the doc and he assured me the rash was nothing to cancel my weekend for. Good trying Campbell man!!

Lockheart Pledge class of 1995 (my 4 yr. social club) -- Some of us anyway.

We did a LOT of eating - talking - and LAUGHING!

More Memories from our Moments in Mississippi

Silly studs excited about our stroll to see Bevie's art students.


Spencer sat to "study" art himself. He had a spectacular time.
And produced some super-duper art work.

A morning of admiring Alumni Art at MUW. Spencer and Bevie with Bevies bottled American lady. Spencer admired and commented on all the works of Art.

Two working men at the Gravel Pit. Papa letting Spencer take control of the top off machine. If I hadn't been there to make him stop he'd still be there topping off machines or should we say tearing them up!


Aawwww. Cousin Bailey getting the best baby lovin'.

As you can tell the BOYS had a BLAST!!!

Easter in Mississippi

Happy Easter

Easter morning started with Easter Baskets!!!

Over a month ago Spencer saw these trucks he wanted at Sams. I wasn't about to buy them just to buy them because you know you just can't start that. He was in love with them and I mentioned maybe the Easter Bunny would get them for him at Easter time. OH MY he told everyone about the trucks (sweeper truck, fire truck, etc) he was going to get. Even the lady in the kid room at church told me that she heard all about these trucks. Well, I had to go to Sams to get the darn trucks before they sold out since he obviously wasn't going to forget.

Every so often he would ask, Is it April yet, Is it Easter? Needless to say he was VERY excited to see that Easter Basket.
Notice the face!!! It was too cute. Money well spent too. He and Campbell have both loved playing with them.
After church we got together with my family at my cousins camp house. It was great to see everyone. Spencer had so much fun playing. The other day he asked, "Can we have our friends over, you know my cousins." I thought that was so sweet!

My late grandparents, Frank and LaLouise Campbell, have 14 GREAT grandchildren. All 14 great grandchildren were there this Easter!! Here are 4 of the 14. All 4 share the name CAMPBELL!!! It's a great name if I do say so myself. My little Campbell looks like he could barely keep his eyes open.

Happy Happy Easter

Back to Life Back to Reality

We're Back!

We spent a week in MS celebrating Easter and it was my 10 year college reunion!!! Can't believe it's been 10 years. And really you wouldn't have guessed it either by looking at my crew of gals!Not kidding! We looked darn good.

So, we are back. I already miss the humidity (yes i do REALLY mean that) the help the food and the beautiful green outdoors. I meant to take a picture of the green grass and do a post on our "HAY" vs the gorgeous green grass in MS. Jake even mentioned that it was so green that it looked fake.

Don't get me wrong we enjoy the beauty of CO, but there's nothin' like the South--accents and all Y'all!!

Okay, I've got some blogging to catch up with so more to come. But first here's a pic so I can remember all that GREEN!!

Wordy Wednesday

Wordy Wednesday Warning....If you are easily grossed out over bodily functions I might suggest that you just skip this Wordy Wednesday.

As a parent of two kids 2 and under I spend much of my day dealing with bodily functions. Well DEALING with bodily functions IS MY LIFE.

Potty training has been underway here for about a month now. Spencer has been a pro when it comes to TT. (if you are not from the south - -"TT" aka urine). Yet, with #2 he just really doesn't have the time. The other week he did #2 in his lovely new undies. Unfortunately, it doesn't phase him. So, he's waddling around and Jake sees what has happened and commented that it looked like he was growing a tail.

Days pass. Spencer goes #2 in his undies again. He finds me to let me know.

Spencer: "Mama I think I growed a tail!" Gross but oh so funny. Isn't he going to love that story when he's a teenager!

We have constantly been talking about how he really needs to go #2 on the potty.
Spencer: "Not today Mama. I'm thinking about it though. Maybe tomorrow."

It's always tomorrow.

I thought I would let Campbell in on Wordy Wed this week. He's saying more each day and is so proud of himself. His favorite word is still "up".

Campbell's new words this week....

Campbell: "More" (said with 2 syllables like a southerner should!)

"Dow" ~ down

Oh and look.....He's been walking (4 to 5 steps at a time) for a few weeks.

Wordy Wednesday

Another Wordy Wednesday with one crazy kid. I can't wait till Campbell can join in!!!

Today at Costco...

Me: Spencer they must be out of broccoli we'll have to get it at Sams.

Spencer: "NO broccoli?"

Spencer: "Shame shame. What a shaaaame. SHAAAAME ON YOU COSTCO!"

Of course those around us were giggling so Spencer repeated himself a few more times. He loves to get a laugh.

This past summer at the post office. Spen and I were in line with numerous other people. Campbell was just about a month old so I think Spen was obsessed with diapers, etc. at the time.(Spencer about 22 months at the time)

Also I must remind you that my child is NOT a quiet talker!

Spencer: "Mama wears a diaper."

Me: (me talking through my teeth trying to emphasize quiet talking) No Mama doesn't wear a diaper. You and Campbell wear diapers.

Spencer: (spencer smirks) "Mama has a pee pee!"

Me: (kneel down beside him) No honey Mama doesn't have a peepee. Shhhh. Look it's almost our turn.

Spencer: "OOOHH Mama has a bootie. "
