Is it Monday already?

Is it Monday already? ok, i just looked at the time..i guess its technically tuesday. the weekends never last long enough. We had so much fun this weekend. Our friends, brandy and coby were in town from grand junction colorado. We met The Jones's about 41/2 years ago. Cole was just a baby and they had just gotten married. We met through friends of friends of friends...you know one of those stories. Anyways LOVE them. Hate that they had to move so far away now but love when they come to visit. We got dinner Saturday night and took it to the park to let the kids run like monkeys. We then came home put them to bed and played some wild games like pirates of the carribean and ticket to ride. It was pretty intense!! Sunday we met up with our other friends Mike and Brittany went to Sugar house park bbq'd and yada yada. So without ALL the details i will just say we had a dang good weekend and Monday came around all too fast. PS..they have the cutest kids! Little Keedon (ooh hope i spelled that right, sorry brandy) and Quinton.



me and brandy...color of the picture turned out all funky, so sepia it is!

POTTY TRAINING

POTTY TRAINING Need i say more? So...we've been a little busy over here at our house...this potty training deal is A LOT of work!!! Ry's been wanting to go potty for the last several months now but WE (as in Cody and I) just really weren't ready! So after driving us crazy for several weeks stripping down to nothing at any given point to "Go Potty" we just decided we better just take the plunge and get it over with. SO....today is the day...we're committed! Ry and i went shopping this morning and bought all the necessary equipment, like princess panties (as you can see, she's pretty excited about those!), and lots of drinks and potty treats. So far no accidents. It's just sitting in the bathroom all day when theres a million other things to do thats killin me. Hmmm...we really could be done with diapers....for awhile anyway :o)

So...after a day full of run arounds and blah blah blahs, the kids and i had a good night together. (dad was still sick in bed) We had a 6 o'clock dinner tonight so around 8:30 cole kept asking when dinner was going to be ready (It obviously wasn't that memorable) so we had to have a little bed time snack. I made popcorn and we read bedtime stories...lots of em' Each time i finished a book Cole would say "but mom...were not done with our popcorn yet" so i'd have to read another. After all the popcorn it was time to brush our "teef" as Rylee would say. Rylee loves brushing her "teef". After 20 minutes of "brushing" I have to pry that little barbie brush from her pudgy little fingers just so we can all go to bed.

OK..so i have been very leary about joining the blogging world. For one....i'm NOT a writer or a journaler (you have no idea how long its just taken me to write the first sentence, and I'm sure I'll be back to edit it before i hit the post button down there anyway) But I have decided to give it a try for the sake of attempting to keep in better touch with our family and friends. My problem is that when i journal i usually end up hating what a write. Like the time when in was 18/19 something i kept a journal, several months later i went back and read it and ended up ripping everything out and shredding it in the garbage. SAD huh? So you'll probably find more pictures than journaling on the campbell's site.

So...here we go...my very first post!

Just got back from the campbell/hoggan reunion yesterday. a little earlier than planned. We had planned to stay saturday night and come home today but a huge storm blew in and changed our plans. SOAKED everything. We still have a truck full of wet camping gear sitting in the driveway. We got in to town lastnight and headed straight over to the perry's to see little Sienna, the new addition to the family. She is adorable!

Made it to church today on time....or might i say early! Its something i'm really trying to work on...being on time... or better yet early for EVERYTHING.

My poor little husbands under the weather tonight. I was deathly ill this last week just before the reunion but i made it through and am feeling human again. Cody on the other hand got hit hard tonight. I think he's got everything i had. Makes ya feel worse when you know you gave it to em'

Here's a little piece of our summer.....so far! Love to all!

Rylee LOVES wearing her oot...aka SUIT or swimming suit and swimming in it of course!
Cole is a fan of the swimming pool as well. He is the fearless dare devil he's always been..found here racing down a hill on a sk8 board.
Cody and I celebrated our 6th anniversary on July 7th this year. We took an incredible bike ride through Jackson Hole and Yellowstone.
