Happy 4th Birthday Brecken

Happy 4th Birthday Brecken!

The month of November has been a busy one for our family! I hope you'll all excuse me for not posting for awhile. We added a new little one to our family and our oldest child turned 4! The theme of Brecken's parties this year was Spiderman, and he had decided on this theme for a few months. I luckily got a friend party done just 4 days before Alainey came (who knew) and we had a family party for him the weekend of Thanksgiving. He got all sorts of fun new toys, from Disney Cars toys to transformers. He loves his new, bigger bike and everything works great on it except for one thing. One of the training wheels is way too short so the manufacturer is sending out a replacement. It has been too cold to ride outside so he has been practicing inside and I have black scuff marks all over my kitchen floor to prove it! Fun, Fun

Here are a few more pictures of Alainey. She is growing and changing so fast already. In the picture to the left she is 1 week old and in the pictures above she is 2 weeks old.

She is Here!

Baby Girl! Alainey Maxine Campbell was born on November 14, 2007 at 5:07 am. She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz and was 21 inches long. According to my due date she was 2 weeks early but she was definitely ready to be here! Delivery was smooth and she has been an angel baby so far. Brecken and Haylee just love her, and shower her with kisses.

New Hair!

Yep, I finally decided to go dark! My natural hair color keeps getting darker and darker with each kid so I decided to go along with it. I think my husband was a little surprised at first but he tells me that he loves it now! It is always fun to go to a salon and get pampered, especially at 36 weeks pregnant.

More Halloween Fun

Brecken and Haylee were Halloween troopers. We went out early to catch as much sunshine as we could. Brecken had his lightning mcqeen bucket in tow and Haylee had her princess bucket. We could barely keep up with Brecken as he ran from door to door. Haylee enjoyed telling everyone that she was a "princess."

Our little singer

Our little boy is not so little anymore! He had his first ever primary program this month. He loves to sing and I even heard him singing during the program. Every time he would look down at us he would get the cutest little smile on his face. Haylee kept waving to him and saying "hi Brecken."

Halloween Fun!

Brecken and Haylee got to put on their Halloween costumes for our ward Trunk or Treat activity last Friday. Brecken was so excited about his Buzz light year costume that he wanted to wear it everywhere, including wal-mart. Haylee wanted to wear a spiderman outfit to wal-mart instead of cinderella, but by the evening she was excited to put on her fancy dress. They loved saying "trick or treat" and got so excited about the littlest piece of candy. It was so cute!

34 Weeks Pregnant!

Time is sure flying by, all of a sudden I am 34 weeks pregnant. I had Brecken take a picture of my growing belly and I think he did an awesome job. He is my budding little photographer who is always asking to use the camera to take pictures. I have been so blessed to have relatively mild pregnancies. I am so happy to still be comfortable enough to sleep well!

Birthdays and Favorites

This month Layne and I celebrated our birthday's! Layne's birthday was on a Tuesday, which was a auction sale day in Emmett. We embarrassed him pretty good with a huge cake and a "happy birthday" song from everyone at the auction. I just had to keep Brecken and Haylee from licking the frosting when we were dishing up to all the customers. It is so much fun to have little kids around on birthday's. Brecken and Haylee kept singing happy birthday all day long and we got extra hugs. My parents just recently came up for a visit, so we each got a little birthday break. Layne and my dad went golfing (big surprise) and us girls went shopping (another big surprise).

Catchin up

I wanted to show all of you my piano. I love having a piano in my home again and Brecken and Haylee absolutely love sitting down and playing it and singing along. Thanks mom and dad for my surprise! You can also see my growing tummy in the picture. Only two more months left until baby arrives.......

Labor Day Fun

We took the kids down to the auction to ride horses on Labor Day weekend. They definitely take after their dad when it comes to horses. Much more daring then me. As you can see from their rosy cheeks it was a hot day!

Can you believe it?

I am actually posting on our blog! I know, all of you that are reading this are going to be completely surprised. Now my only problem is to catch you all up on everything! I wanted to show an updated picture of Brecken and Haylee. Brecken's hair got sun bleached this summer and Haylee's hair is growing like crazy. Brecken is doing his "cheese" smile and Haylee is in the "not look at the camera at all costs" phase, which makes it fun to try and get a good picture of the two of them.

Family Time!

Here are some pictures of our little family. Layne and I just celebrated our 5 year anniversary, yeah! I am sure that most people will agree with me when I say that time really does fly by. We have two wonderful children and another one on the way. Brecken is 3 (although most people seem to guess he's 5 or older) and Haylee is 2. They are so fun and have quite the little personalities. They are good friends and don't quite know what to do when "brother" or "sister" is having a nap and they are awake.
