Here are my four boys. Don't they all look so handsome?

Gingerbread Houses aka graham cracker houses

Here are the boys making their Graham Cracker houses.

Cutie Baby

And the Darwin Award goes to.....

So you are probably asking yourself why is JJ in the basketball net? Well let me tell you. JJ has this great idea that he should hang the pinatas up on the bar above the nets. Instead of wasting time and getting a ladder he jumped up and climbed through the net. Of course of his shoulders could fit so should his hips right? WRONG!! Here he is stuck in the net, showing off his mega muscles, waiting for the ladder to arrive so that he could get out.

Axel is a Puppy

Playing in the Leaves

Here are the boys playing in the leaves after JJ and Gunnar raked them all. The boys had so much fun. Michael and Gunnar especially loved to hide from Jorden in the leaves and them pop up and scare him. They are going to miss the leaf piles when we move.

Fall in Cleveland

I love the fall in Cleveland. The colors are so pretty. This is the morning after JJ finished raking all the leaves from our yard. I have decided that raking leaves is like laundry. It is never done no matter how often you do it.

My Four Boys

These are the latest pictures of our four boys. I thought I would attempt to try a little digital scrapbooking. I don't know if I will do this permanently but it was worth a try.

JJ's additions to Lake Tullock

Certain things had to be added from our trip. I am adding this one because it's sweet! How I ended up with water like this I will never know, but I thank those in the boat for allowing it. Kathy will look at this and still say it's too choppy!


We also wake boarded...

This one had to make the blog because Becky was so cute with her 'Axel filled' belly on this trip. What a lucky guy I am.

Bubble Bath

Let this be proof that one; Jorden's face is clean once ina while, and two; he can be happy and delightful if he chooses.

Axels Blessing

We blessed Axel on October 14, 2007. The blessing circle from left to right: Larry Kalke, Jake Atwood, Daddy, Poppy Jon and Papa Kurt.
Mom and Dad are so proud to be the lucky parents of four good boys!

Hello Family and Friends I know it has been a while since I posted, but I have been slightly preoccupied. So here it is. Halloween has now come and gone but we sure had fun this year.

Here is JJ, yes he looks a little scary, let me explain. First I wanted you all to see his costume. He was a tooth fairy this year and he looked fabulous. Actually he looked like a "fairy". The boys thought he was crazy. They kept asking him why he was dressing like a girl. As for the white face; at our ward Halloween party everyone that won the costume contest got to throw pies at the counselors. So JJ got quite a few in the face.

Here are the four superheros in my life. Gunnar-Flash, Axel-Spiderman (thanks mom), Michael-Batman, and Jorden-Superman. They all loved their costumes.

We are pleased to introduce Axel Brazee Campbell. He was born 9/17/07 at 12:15 PM. Weighing in at a meager 7 lbs 9 oz. Our smallest ever!!! He was named for a great great grandpa on mommy's side and a great grandpa on daddy's.
Here he is ready to go home. Doesn't he look adorable!!!
We wanted to let you see his other adorable side too!!!
Here he is all safe and secure. And to think that in a few short months he will actually fit in this seat and just as quick grow completely out of it.

Here are the happy big brothers. Just like mom, they couldn't wait for Axel to come.

Here is the latest picture of Axel. He is approximately 5lbs and measuring smaller than all his brothers. But we still love him. The doctor tried to get more pictures in the 4D but he just wouldn't cooperate. He loves to move. Everything still looks great though. Now we just wait for his arrival.

Michael on his first day of second grade. I can't believe he is old enough to be in second grade. He loves it and on his first day he came out and said "Mom I wasn't ready to come home yet!"
Gunnar on his first day of Kindergarten. I have never seen someone so excited. He couldn't wait to go. He loves it. He even wanted me to pack his lunch the night before so that we wouldn't forget anything. I am going to miss him.

This summer we spent 5 weeks in California with our family. One of the highlights was going to Lake Tullock, where we stayed in a Lake House. The boys and JJ loved being able to play in the water and go out in the boat till they passed out. Here are a few pictures highlighting their adventure.

Here is Jorden showing off his trick "no hands!"

He loved to go "skateboarding" with dad. (That is what he called it.) We were just happy that he started enjoying it and not screaming about it.














Gunnar loved to kneeboard once he realized it wasn't scary. He would always stick his tongue out though. After a few days we realized this must be hereditary because JJ does it too.















Michael was the king of kneeboarding. He definitely had to show his brothers how to do it. We tried to get him to stand up but he decided he doesn't like to fall, so he wouldn't do it.

Here is our big boy Jorden. We are having so much fun with him now that he has decided to be happy. In this picture JJ and I were in the kitchen and he decided to make us laugh.












He no longer takes set naps anymore but if he plays hard by about 3:00 he will lay down on the floor and look like this. Isn't he precious!!!!













Here he is after telling mom he wanted a picture taken. What a cutey!!!

Here is year two of baseball for Gunnar. He really enjoyed it this year. He loved to play second base where he could get all the balls. He is really excited to play again next year when he gets to be in Coach Pitch/T-ball.

















Here is our homerun hitter running to third base. Isn't he one hunk of a kid!!




















And of course Michael played again this year in the Coach League. This year his games were actually enjoyable to watch because he was actually playing a real game.












But his favorite was playing first base and getting people out. We finally got him throwing better too. For some unknown reason he decided that throwing the ball high was better than throwing the ball at the other player. After mom told him he looked like a girl when he threw the ball he decided to go back to his old ways and throw the ball the correct way. (Yes I am mean but he was throwing like a girl. And in my house of all boys, there will be none of that!!!)

Michael on his last day of first grade. He has done so well this year. We are very proud of all his hard work. He is excited to go to second grade and turn 8!!! We can't believe how fast he has grown.

This is Gunnar with Jorden on Gunnar's last day of preschool. They finished the last week of school off by reading a book called "See You Later Alligator" (hence the alligator hat.)
He loved going to school.

Well everyone here is one of the feet. Doesn't it look perfect!!!














And this picture says it is a BOY!!
Yes we do know how to make them!!














So family and friends we would like to introduce you to Axel Campbell. Boy number 4.

Don't they look so cute? They just finished finding all the eggs the Easter Bunny hid and Jorden has already has his fill of candy. They are so fun!!!

This is what JJ did all morning just so we could get out of our driveway to go to church. We thought it was suppose to be Spring. Does this mean we get to have Christmas again???

Baby Campbell

Hello everyone we want to introduce you to Baby Campbell. If you can't tell what you are looking at I will explain. It's head is on the left with body following it laying in a nice comfortable reclining position. That is it's hand up by it's head and you can see one little foot at the end. Heartbeat was at about 160 bpm which may mean girl??!! The boys were all at about 150 bpm. So who knows. We will find out on the 27th of April. I will let you know then if the baby cooperates.

... more DR

We saved the teeth we could and pulled the ones that were too far gone. Worked all day in a Catholic library dripping in our own sweat with the help of three nuns for crowd controle. The people were greatful and we got a lot of work done. The experiece was on to remember. For some reason there were a lot of teenagers with busted up front teeth that we got to fix. Good times!
