Catch Up

Hello all Family and Friends, I am so sorry it has taken me this long to post new pictures but I have been a little preoccupied. On top of the everyday life I lead, I have been in the process of selling my home. We are coming up on the end of our time here in Cleveland, OH and it is time to sell so we can move. So I will catch you up on things.

In January I went to St. George with Axel, leaving the other boys here with JJ, to meet my two new nephews and to be there for one of their blessings (AJ's, he is my sister Kim's little man). It was so fun to be there with all of my siblings. I loved having the three little babies together. Axel, Bryce, and AJ were all born within 2 days of each other. Needless to say I think everyone had plenty of baby holding time and if they didn't that was their own fault. We took many many pictures of the 3 little ones. You will see them below. Later that month I took off to the Dominican Republic with JJ. He goes there once a year to do Humanitarian Dentistry, so I joined him at the end and we enjoyed a little vacation away from the children. It was wonderful. Thanks to Auntie Fany and Auntie Kimmy G who came and watched my kids so we could go.No sooner did we arrive home did we have our oldest Michael turn 8 and was baptized. Both Grandma's and Grandpa's came out and it was wonderful. My mom helped me, well actually almost single handedly finished all the odds and ends left of the house so we could put it on the market. (I was sick (convieniently) so she took over). My house looks great and now we wait.

February has come in like a bad storm, funny we have had a few blizzards this month, and we are just trying to stay warm and keep the house clean. I am working on getting the kids over their winter illnesses and hopefully we will all make it to spring. Axel is the worst of the bunch he was just diagnosed today with RSV so (cruel as it may sound) I will post pictures of him with his facemask on in the next few days. It is just too cute to pass up. But he is doing well and there is no need to worry. I will keep you posted. Until the next post I will sign off.

Everything you wanted to know about my husband

Okay so I have been tagged and I probably deserve it as I am and have been a total slacker at updating my blog. So this at least should get me through for a few more weeks right. Anyway, I was tagged by my aunt Meli so here goes.

Everything you want to know about my Husband

Who said I love you first? He did and he gave me a bouquet of yellow roses with one red rose in it when he did.

Who is taller? He is, I am on the short end of the Marler gene pool

Who sings better? I can read music better, but I think we both do pretty well.

Who does the laundry? Most of the time me but he does his fair share, particularly when I haven't gotten to it and he needs something. But he always does the ironing.

Who pays the bills? I pay the bills with his hard earned loan money.

Who sleeps on the right side? He does

Who mows the lawn? He does

Who drives? Mostly me, but if we are together he does

Who is more stubborn? That is the million dollar question

Who is most sensitive? Definitely me

Who has more siblings?I do, 4 for me, 3 for him

Who wears the pants? Well hello it is the 21st century, we both wear the pants, we would freeze otherwise here in frigid Ohio

Tiffany, Kim, and Mom..... Tag your it!!!

Michael's Baptism

Here is Michael and JJ on Michael's baptism day. He was so excited to be baptized but not so much about all the people that would be there watching him. But he did great. We are so proud of him and the way he is working on choosing the right.
Here he is with his two Grandpa's and dad. He is growing up way too fast.

St. George

Here is the sole reason next to the blessing of A.J. (baby on right) that I went to St. George. So Grandma could get a picture of these three cousins together. Aren't they adorable!!!
I just had to post this picture. Their faces cracked me up particularly because the next picture shows you what was going on.
This was the Paparazzi. Yes they left Britney Spears alone for one day and focused their attention on these three.
Here they are already the best of friends. I really do hope they are. How fun to have cousins your age.
Here they are again with their Grandma Bunny. She is their Great-Grandma.

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.
