LOVING these two...

My heart is so full! I am enjoying EVERY minute with my 2 loves! I could not be more thankful and feel any more blessed! GOD IS SO GOOD!

ARIZONA FUN

Campbell and I are in Arizona with Levale, and we are enjoying every minute! Levale and I both LOVE Arizona, and we are really enjoying the Mariners organization. We have met some neat new families, and it has been nice to catch up with old friends as well. It is neat to see how all of our families have changed since we last saw one another. We all have kids now!!! Here are a few pictures of our time here so far!We went to the zoo with JJ while she was here and we had the BEST time! She bought Campbell a monkey and she LOVES it!Eating her 1st lemon...she actually liked it!!!

We went to lunch and a hunting expo with JJ's cousin, Merline and her family. We haven't seen them in years, and we had so much FUN. Levale really enjoyed seeing all the deer, wild animals and dogs jumping!Watching Einstein with JJ Levale, Campbell, Ryan and Kasen / Campbell meeting Kasen for the 1st time. They are 3 days apart!Napping at Daddy's game!
Playing and Missing Ca Ca at Daddy's game!
As you can see, we have been entertained since we have been here! We had so much fun while JJ was here and we miss her SOOO MUCH!

Happy 5 Months

Our precious angel is 5 months today! TIME FLIES by way too quickly! She weighed 14lbs at our last Dr.'s appt, and I am sure she has grown since then! Here's what has been going on this month:

• She is sitting up with very little support! She is so close to doing it alone. It amazes me how she does new things overnight!
• She is (we are) completely finished with breast milk! Hallelujah! She is on Enfamil for babies that spit up, and it works!!! Thank goodness! She still spits up some, but not NEARLY as much or as often.
• She does NOT like rice cereal from a spoon! She is still only eating it once a day (in her bottle). I think it is because it tastes like cardboard! She will taste most things we are eating from a spoon, just not rice cereal!
• She had her 1st non checkup Dr.'s visit. :-( She had a cold/cough before we came to AZ, so we had to visit Dr. Smalley. It broke my heart to see our little monkey sick.
• She is ALL over the place! She is constantly on the go whether it's rolling or scooting! Mommy and Daddy can forget the easy diaper changing days! We have to be QUICK!
• She had pear juice for the 1st time (thanks to tummy issues) and she is not quite sure about it. She will only drink it if we give her milk, juice, then milk again!
• She is still sleeping through the night. We actually have to wake her up every morning to take daddy to work.
• She LOVES her feet. If she's sitting up, in her BUMBO, or laying down she is going to have at least one, if not both, of them in her hand!
• We don't go ANYWHERE without Lilly. SHE LOVES, LOVES, LOVES her and knows if we try to replace her with another lovey. We have 2 Lilly's, and she sucks on her and talks to her to go to sleep.
• She went tee-tee in the potty for the 1st time! YES! Of course, she had no clue what she was doing, but it was so funny! JJ was handing her to me in the shower, and I wasn't ready, so she put her on the potty and she went! When she was finished she started fussing...it was like she was saying, "I did it, now get me up!" Good thing it wasn't on the floor...hehe!

HAPPY 5 MONTHS LITTLE MONKEY! YOU ARE GROWING UP WAY TOO FAST! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

WELCOME...

little Raleigh James!!! He came into this world around 7:20pm weighing 6lbs 6oz and he was 19 1/4in long! Mommy, Daddy and Raleigh are all doing great! He is healthy and beautiful! Congratulations Ash and James! We can't wait to make many, many memories with our 2 little blessings. We love you so much!
Sorry the picture is so grainey...it's the only one I have uploaded so far!!!

SNEAK PEAK...

What a tease huh?!?! Campbell had her pictures made last week, and here is a glimpse of what is to come...I CAN'T WAIT! I am so pleased with the outcome of these, and I am so excited to see the rest of them!
Thanks Brooke for spending time with our family! We look forward to working with you more in the future!!!

Baby Dedication

This past Sunday Levale and I made a public commitment to our church to raise Campbell in a Godly home. We dedicated her to our precious Heavenly Father. It was a beautiful, special day and we appreciate all of our family and friends being there to support and stand behind us. After church my parents hosted a luncheon for our close family and friends. Everything was so nice, and we had a great time of fellowship! My mom had all the tables set with her fine china, and she had a different cross as the center piece. Our florist (Clay) made beautiful flower arrangements just for Campbell! Mom had pictures of our angel all over the house. Morgan made a delicious cross cake, mom made matching cross cookies, and ordered pink and white cross mints!

After we ate lunch, we all gathered to open Campbell's gifts. Thank you so much to everyone. She got the prettiest things to help her remember her special day.A special thanks to JJ & Big Daddy for EVERYTHING! You made Campbell's dedication so special. We appreciate all your hard work. We love you both so much!

Happy 4 Months

Our little monkey is 4 months old today! We are going to the Dr. on Tuesday and I can't wait to see how much she has grown! Here's what has been going on this month:

• She is rolling from her tummy to her back, and from her back to her tummy.
• She will hold her bottle by herself anywhere from 3-5 minutes!
• She's starting to put EVERYTHING in her mouth and drooling constantly! I know it is early, but I think she may be teething!!!
• She absolutely LOVES her exersaucer...did I mention her mommy and daddy love it too!
• She is getting rice cereal once a day. (I hope to start 2x's a day after our visit to Dr. Smalley on Tuesday!!!)
• She started laughing out loud, and will do it for what seems like forever!!! It's the most adorable thing!
• Her face lights up and she smiles when her mommy or daddy enter a room. (This melts my heart!)
• She sleeps anywhere from 7-9 hours at a time...Her mommy and daddy liked the 12-13 hour stretch better!
• She talks to us like she is having a conversation! It is precious!
• She still LOVES bath time, her massage and then "Einstein time"!!!
• She has started sitting in her BUMBO. Her bottom still doesn't fit securely, but it does the job! She helps mommy cook, put on make up, and do laundry!
• She has been riding in her "big girl stroller seat" while we shop! She really likes to shop!

Sweet Baby
BUMBO time @ JJ & Big Daddy's for NyNene's Birthday
