Randomness... in pictures

Heart Potatoes
We've had crazy amounts of snow in Kentucky this winter. School has been cancelled several times this month (stop laughing Utahns). ;)
Lots of snow means drinking lots of hot cocoa and I'm seriously missing Stephens Gourmet Mint Truffle. Not too many hot chocolate options out here.
I took this picture of the kids watching daddy snow blow the driveway (thanks for sharing with us Brett).

I was sick last Monday and so Trev was in charge. He put up a HUGE 3-room tent in our family room. The kids were in heaven.

I caught Davis like this the other day. He pulled down the couch cushions and then swiped a cookie to enjoy while he lounged on top of them.
A little tub time for Davis and Campbell. Check out Davis' eyelashes... I'm jealous.
Davis thinks everything is a phone.

Freshly bathed and ready to wrestle with Daddy.

A Day of LOVE

(Heart-attacking our house)

Trevor is not a romantic and quite frankly neither am I so Valentine's Day has never been a big holiday for us.
This year (and from now on) I decided I wanted to focus on the LOVE part of Valentines and on doing things for our family to help everyone feel how much they are loved. I got a great idea from my friend Lacey and I had the girls help me cut out tons of hearts and write things we love about each member of our family on the hearts. Valentines morning we hung the hearts up all over the house for everyone to read. It was so fun to read some of the things they wrote like Hallie's heart that said "I love playing Up high, Down low, on the side, too slow with Dad." and Megan's heart that said, " I love Davis' chubby hugs."
This will definitely be a new tradition for us. Thanks Lacey.

A traditional we have had since Trev and I were first married is a Valentine's Treasure Hunt. The kids love this and it's fun for me to come up with the clues and of course the treasure.





After running up and down the stairs about 5 times ( I like to wear them out) in search of clues they finally found their treasures in our closet.
Love letters, treats, and a toy. Hallie and Megan got some more "littlest pet shop" animals. I love to give these to the girls because it is one thing they love to play with together.

As soon as they found the new toys they were off to their room to play happily together ... love that. I came up about an hour later and had to take some pictures of how they set them up.
This is the other reason I love to give them these little animals... so cute.

(love how they put all the fish and frogs in the bathtub)






I cooked a nice dinner... made with lots of love and then we thought it would be good to spend a little time at the local Nursing Home and share a little love with those folks. So, the girls made some Valentine cards to pass out and we went with our good friends to the Friendship Manor.





HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! Hope you felt loved. :)

Campbell through the years... all 3 of them

This kid is fun, fun, fun! I can honestly say he makes me laugh every single day.

He loves to put on his "super Campbell" cape and run around the house announcing, "To the rescue!"

If he spills something he is quick to say, "I'n so sorry Mommy, I'n so sorry."

He has a bad habit of wiping his nose on his sleeve and we were discussing this the other day. I told him he needed to use a Kleenex and Hallie said, "I hope he isn't still doing that when he dates!" Megan added, "Yeah, or if he gives her a hug and wipes his nose on her shoulder! Ewww!" lol

Campbell eats and eats and is still hungry. He tells me "I need somefin for my mouff."

As I am typing this he is telling me, "Megan pushed me... she need to go to time out!"

We just love this little guy. He brings so much sunshine and yes, a little craziness into our home.

We love him for it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAMPBELL!!

Campbell turns 3!

Saturday, Feb 13th was Campbell's 3rd birthday.

It was full of presents, yummy food, and friends.

This kid keeps us laughing.

He thought Hallie's glasses needed a little welding.

Thank you hugs for Meg and Daddy.

Enjoying his new crazy straws.

Water tastes so much better when you drink it from a crazy straw... just ask Cam.

Ice cream and cake with friends.

Blowing out the candles is harder than it looks!
What a fun day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAMPBELL-MAN!!!

Happy Valentine's Day Kathryn.

I met Kathryn at a party on the 3rd of July and my life was never the same. We ate dinner and played buddy tag and she was my buddy. I was immediately attracted to her - she was so genuine and of course beautiful. I am one lucky dude:) Thank you Kathryn for giving me a chance and for these 4 little kiddos.

Mothers- this is worth watching

I know it is nearly 8 minutes long and 8 minutes can be hard to come by but I promise it is worth it.

Our little monkey

I can't even tell you how much fun this little guy is.

I took these pictures the other day of Davis examining Trevor.

Too Cute!

Campbell says...

(Campbell weighs 1lb more than Davis and they are 21 months apart)

**Yesterday we officially took Campbell out of the crib (yes, he is almost 3 and he was still in a crib) and put him on a mattress on the floor (no, the poor kid does not have a bed because we don't want to have to move it, and because I want to buy the boys bunk beds which we really don't want to have to move). Anyway, he loved sleeping on the floor in his "new bed" (aka mattress on the floor). He was exhausted and went right to sleep but then around 1AM he climbed... er... rolled out of bed and walked out to the balcony where he announced to the entire house in his loudest voice, "I wake up! Hey errybody, I wake up!"

**We were in the car this morning when out of nowhere
Campbell said, "I cant' see the Holy Ghost. I can't see the Holy Ghost mommy!"

** Campbell came up to me sticking his finger out and said,
"Mommy, Tinkerbelle scratched my finger."
I said, "Oh no, are you okay?"
He said, "Yes... Tinkerbelle said sorry."
