Happy 4th of July

I just realized that I never made a post about Jaylee's BIG birthday celebration. Since it is one of my favorite holidays, it was an easy birthday party to plan. She is a true FIRECRACKER!

Jaylee's favorite birthday present. A chair painted by her cousin, Matt Hamel. It is absolutely amazing! Thanks Matt!

She wasn't quite sure what to do with the candle.

But Daddy showed her how to do it!

She LOVED every minute of it!

Taylor & Jaxon had fun playing tag!

As you can see, Jeter LOVES the wildcats!

Oh what a little movie star!

Fun @ the Lake

This past weekend we made a trip to the Lake. This would be Jaxon & Jaylee's first trip and mom's first trip with kids. We all had a blast! Thanks Sara & family forallowing us to join in the fun! The kids LOVED the water and all the boat rides.

Jaxon & Jaylee thought the boat was their own little playground. Always on the move.

Jaxon was a little nervous at first but then he didn't want to get out!

Jaylee enjoyed all the attention!

There are no excuses for the lack of posts in the last nine months. So, I will do my best to do a recap of our crazy lives.

On Dec. 26, 2008, Jaylee got her ears pierced. She was such a big girl. She only cried for a couple of seconds.






In December, Jaxon mastered climbing onto the couch. He was so proud of himself!









In January, we discovered that Jaylee loves lemons! Jaxon also got his 1st haircut.





Then Jeter Charles Adams was born to Aunt Leanie (jolene)!







By February, Jaylee was on the move. There was no stopping her now!







Despite the snow storm, Jaxon turned 2! We celebrated with the family who could make the travel! It was a good time had by all!



As you can see, the kids are spoiled. This is what our living room looks like everyday, not just at birthday parties!










In April, the kids and I made a trip to Oklahoma to see the cousins. Aren't they cute together? We are short one. Jeter was unable to make the trip because we didn't have room for his carseat. Next time!

Well, I hope everyone has enjoyed my much needed update! Hopefully, I can schedule the blog into our everyday routine so that family and friends can share in my joy of being a mom!

No time with 2 under 2.....

Well, as all of you may have noticed that I have not posted in a LONG time! I am so sorry about that. Time flys with 2 children under the age of 2. With work, the house, Jaxon and Jaylee there is no time for anything else. So, here is a long update on the Campbell Family.

Since July......

JMan trying to play with his sister.

JMan CRAWLING!!! YEAH!!

Aunt Beezer came to visit! It was so great to have her to live life with us! She got to see first hand how crazy our life is! JMan LOVES to be read to. He will sit for hours and listen to you read especially if you read him his Willie the Wildcat book.

We ventured to K-State's 1st home football game with BOTH kids! Josh & I were WORN out after such a long day! Needless to say that WON'T be doing that again. Jaxon sure did enjoy it though. Jaylee basically slept the whole day except to eat. Go figure. :o)

Mommy & JMan enjoying the game!

Jaxon LOVES the camera. He is such a happy kid!

Jaylee playing! She loves her mat.

Cousin Taylor giving Jaylee a kiss! How cute!

Jaxon and cousin Taylor playing with her farm animals. They had so much fun!

Jaylee Diane....

She arrived on her own at 3:45 pm on July 4th. She weighed 8lbs. 5 oz. and was 20 in. long. She is living up to her birthday in being "a little firecracker." She definitely has her own personality already, miss independent.

As you can see, Jaxon thinks shes the best thing ever! He hasn't quite got the concept that she is ours to keep. He doesn't understand that he has to share mommy and daddy.

We are all home now. Daddy is off work for the rest of the week which is so nice for us to spend quality time together. Jaxon still goes to daycare everyday so that he still stays in his normal routine. Also, he gets to have his own time being spoiled. (Sharlene, his daycare provider, adores him and gives him her undivided attention.) More pictures and updates to come.....

Jman loves the water....

This past weekend Jaxon finally go to have his first swimming experience in his pool he got for his birthday. We finally had a weekend where it was not raining and the wind was not blowing 90 miles an hour. As you can see you had a blast. He did not last very long because his attention span is limited but we enjoyed the little time we spent outside. Hopefully after his little sister gets here we will still have some time to enjoy the pool.

She's STILL not here.....

Today we were scheduled to have our C-Section but unfortunately I received a phone call after 8 pm last night letting me know they had cancelled it. They informed me that they had to move it to Saturday morning. So, we will be patient for a couple more days in order to meet our beautiful little girl. The upside is that I get to enjoy the fireworks! We will keep all of you posted. Stay tuned!
