It's a......

It's a ......... baby! We just went for our mid-pregnancy ultrasound where we see the baby and they could have told us what we were having but we will be waiting until the end to find out what our little bundle of joy will be. The doctor says the baby is happy, healthy, and super active. Anyone have any guesses? Doug and I are stummped. ;)




Our other little one is growing like a weed. He is recently potty training which has been going great. I am so proud of him. Before potty training commenced we went to Edison's first play at Tempe Center for the Arts with his friends Trentyn, Nathan, and Kaitlyn. He really enjoyed it. Especially the part were mommy gave him any candy he wanted so he would stay interested. :) He has also been all kinds of busy with mom while I am at home for fall break. We painted some pottery and even planted a garden with daddy's help.

We recently celebrated Daddy's 21st (32nd) birthday. We had a great dinner with family. Aunt Julie even flew out for the occasion. :) We also had a great dinner with friends at Texas Roadhouse the following day. All in all it was a pretty good birthday.

Baseball, Birthdays, & More

The summer continues on and although it has been hot, we have been having a lot of fun. I went back to teaching in July. It was hard to leave Edison but it was good to get back on a schedule. It won't be too long and then we will have 2 weeks for fall break together which I look forward to. Hopefully, we will begin the potty training process during that time. Wish us luck!

Recently, we took Edison to his first baseball game. I was a little nervous about how restless he would be, but he did wonderful. He had a great time playing and hanging out with my parents. He also ate his weight in popcorn, corndogs, ice cream, and snacks. He made some friends and cheered on the Diamondbacks to victory. I am excited to take him again!

We recently celebrated Jane's birthday as well. The whole family went out to Texas Roadhouse to celebrate. Edison was very happy to hang out with his little cousin Colby.

And then comes the "more". I am happy to announce that baby Campbell #2 is on his/her way. We were very excited to find out that I was pregnant. I am currently 12 weeks and due on March 1st. We will schedule a c-section so we will really be expecting at the end of February. Edison has already started pointing to my belly & saying baby. He is going to be a wonderful big brother. We are very excited to find out what we are having but it will have to wait until the birth. We are going to wait to find out against many of your wishes. ;) I will be sure to keep everyone updated on our new little one as well as our big boy.

Summer Fun



It has been some time since I have had a post! We have had a busy and eventful summer. We have been enjoying the pool, hanging out with friends, and even got to go on some mini vacations.

We celebrated a lot of birthdays this summer. We had a lot of fun swimming, playing on swing sets and hitting pinatas. Thats not to mention celebrating Edison's big 2nd birthday. It was a little hot but we had a great time swimming and playing with friends.

Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Campbell!!
Pinata Time!
Always a favorite

We also made our yearly trip to Lake Powell. This time Doug and I were both on vacation so we were able to go for a full week. We had a blast hanging with our Cali friends the Cave's, jet skiing, wakeboarding and freaking ourselves out at a cemetery! Although we did have some minor issues with the boat, it was still a blast!

Fourth of July this year was so much fun. We had a small BBQ with friends and later Edison had a great time with his friend Trentyn watching fireworks and playing with little sparklers. As Edison grows everything becomes much more fun!

Our last big adventure was going to Palm Springs for our friend Joe's 30th birthday. We had a nice relaxing kid free weekend. We stayed poolside, the girls went out while the boys golfed, and had a great time just taking it easy. It was a great end to my summer vacation. Things should start getting a little more hectic now that school has begun.

I hope everyone is having a great summer.

As spring is winding down we are getting ready for summer. This spring we celebrated Edison's 2nd Easter. We have a lot of fun dying eggs, hanging out with family and finding Easter eggs.

As Edison's second birthday quickly approaches he gets to be more and more fun. He talks up a storm and loves to sing songs. He has a few memorized, it is pretty cute to watch.

He has also turned into quite the daredevil. He loves to climb on anything (like the coffee table) and take a running jump off of it. We also caught him on the kitchen island a couple times. It is very unusual these days for Edison not to have a bump or bruise somewhere. He is into everything!! He is all boy.

Next month we celebrate Edison's second birthday, Doug's second Father's Day, and my birthday. We have a busy summer vacation planned and can't wait to update everyone on our adventures. :)

Spring Break

Being a teacher has it perks! 2 weeks off for spring break is one of them. Unfortunately, I have to go back to work on Monday so I figured I would complete a post before everything got too crazy!

As always, Edison has been the center of our world. He is learning so much and is starting to throw some pretty awesome fits. Bring on the two's! He has also learned to climb like a champ. One day I was folding laundry and I looked behind me and there was Edison sitting on our tall bar stool chair watching me do laundry. (The picture is below) He also tried to climb over the railing at the zoo. I am pretty sure he would be living with the giraffes had I not been there to stop him.

Our little monkey

Over our break we had a lot of fun going to parks, the zoo and feeding ducks. The busier the better. :) It was great to be a stay at home mom for a little while and in roughly 9 weeks we will get to do it again. Bring on the summer!

I've included some pictures of our recent adventures.
