What we've been up to...

We are heading off to Alabama tomorrow for two and a half weeks! Why then, you ask, am I spending precious packing time with blogging? Here's the thing, we are going to come back from Alabama with so much to blog about, I know that if I don't get this done tonight, it won't get done. So, here goes... A little re-cap of the past few weeks...
I uploaded these pictures in reverse order, and I don't want to take the time to put them chronologically, so here goes...

My cute cousin, Kristin came up and stayed with us for a few days. She wanted to see my sister while she was in town and she wanted me to take her senior pictures. (I still can't believe she is going to be a senior!!!) We had so much fun having her here!
Tucker had to come out with us on one of the shoots, because Ben hadn't gotten off work yet. Kristin wanted a picture with him, but his picture smile is so cheesy, I told him to say pee-eew. And then he plugged his nose, so this is what we got: :)
He also wanted to get on the train with her, which he thought was SOOO cool! Yes, he got his head buzzed a few days ago! :)


Here's a sneak peek at some of the shots! I think that they turned out SOOO great! She is absolutely beautiful and a natural model! (It must run in the family!) :) ha ha



Thanks for coming Kristin, please come back soon! We miss you already! :)

As I mentioned above, my little seester, Kayla came in to town for the month. Her and her husband are moving to Wisconsin next month for Medical School in the fall. They decided to spend about a month up here before they move. It has been so much fun having her home. Unfortunately, because I am leaving tomorrow, I am going to completely miss her most of the time she is here. :( SO sad! Luckily, she got here just in time for her birthday, so we were able to celebrate! The big 2-5! And of course, Tucker was right in on the action! :)


Tucker loves his Aunt Kayla, I only wish we got to see her more!


My friend Stephanie had a baby shower! She is having a little boy in September! Don't worry, I tell her that boys are the BEST! :) My friend Sharlene and I went out together! What cute friends I have!

And of course, Fathers day was celebrated! I have such a great father, I always feel like whatever we do for him isn't enough! He does SO much for us! All of us kids were actually able to be here on the big day, so we got a picture with the captain himself! :) Love you Dad!!


And of course, we celebrated the FATHER of my child! One lucky kid, I'd say; he has a pretty great father, too! :) Love you Ben!! What cute boys I have!


We, of course, have also been spending lots of time outside, enjoying the nice weather and our good friends. Here is Tucker with one of his favorite kitties. (NOT ours!) :) She was actually ran over shortly after this picture was taken! :( RIP Lola.

I guess a blanket and some grass is all you need for a good time! :)


My friend, Rosie also came to visit for a few days from Utah. She brought her friend, Savanah with her and we had so much fun with them! We miss them, too! :)
We headed down to Riverfront Park one day. Tucker loves going down the slide on the big red wagon!

Beautiful Spokane...

Swinging with Savanah...love that face! :)

At the falls:

Tucker was impressed! :)

Me and Rosie and Erica. We were all friends in Jr. High! It is fun to have had friends for that long and catch up! :)

Tuck and I in front of the falls...

All of our kids... there were so many cameras that Tucker didn't know which camera to look at! :)

We fed the geese, and these geese are NOT afraid to come right up and snatch the whole piece of bread from your hand! I think Tucker was a little scared at first!

We, of course had to stop over in Coeur d'Alene for the HUGE yummy desserts at the Dockside. I have loved these since I was a little girl! Me, Tuck and Savanah:

That's my boy, digging right in! :)

My friend, Rosie is an amazing photographer. I stole these pics from her blog because I thought they were pretty cool.
The falls:

And the blocks downtown:
Well, we are off tomorrow and I probably won't update until we get back! Hope everyone is enjoying the summer and I look forward to returning to the blogging world in a few weeks! :)
Oh, and congrats to my brother and sis-in-law who just found out today that they are going to be having a baby GIRL in November! :) This will be the first girl on the Campbell side and I am so excited! :)
Ok, well Ciao! (that's how you say goodbye in Alabama!) :)
