Sound Asleep

Once Campbell is asleep, she is sound asleep. We never know what we will find when we go in to check on her before we head off to bed ourselves. Tonight, this is what we saw. Silly Girl!

Girl Scouts Ice Skating

Cooper's Girl Scout troop had a field trip to the ice skating rink today. We all went as a family. Campbell had never been ice skating before and she was EXCITED! Once we all had our skates on, I went out on the ice with Cooper. Chad took Campbell. She couldn't wait to get on the ice and once on the ice she didn't want to get off. Cooper and I do ok at ice skating. We made our way around the rink a few times, then we would take a break. It's always fun to do things as a family and see the girls discover new things they enjoy and didn't know they could do. Cooper is getting more brave each time she skates. Campbell had a ball and couldn't stop talking about ice skating. The next day, Chad enrolled Campbell in ice skating lessons.

Field Trip

Cooper's Gift Ed Class had a field trip today to the Beach Museum on K-State Campus. There is a new exhibit there called Tallgrass. It is all about animals in their habitats. Chad was able to attend the trip with Cooper today. They both learned a lot and had a great day together.

Preschool Snack

Thanks to Pinterest, the ease at which one can find new and creative ideas is so quick. It was Campbell's turn to bring snack for Preschool and we found this snack idea on Pinterest. It was crafty and healthy. Turned out well!


Butterfly Snack


Campbell enjoyed painting the clothespins. Glue on the eyes and antennas. Fill up the bags.

Peaceful Sleepers

On the weekends, the girls enjoy making forts to sleep in, or having a slumber party in one or the others' bedrooms. Tonight it was Cooper's room. After an early morning ride to deliver a puppy with Grandma, the girls were tired. Watching them sleep is the best. Thinking about what is in their dreams. Enjoying the peace and quiet that comes as they slumber on.


This is exactly how Chad sleeps too.


Sweet Dreams!

Braces

Cooper has been working with her Orthodontist since September to correct her cross bite. She had the palette expander placed in September. Finally, to her delight, it was time for the braces to go on. She excitedly had 4 braces put on today. The most fun part was choosing what colors to put on. She chose green and pink.

Dance Class

We have been searching for a sport or activity that fits Campbell. This Spring Campbell decided she wanted to try dance class. She loves to sing and dance, so we thought this could be it. Here goes nothing!

Family Pet

Our cat, Champagne, is one lucky pet. Or maybe we are lucky to have her in our family.

Campbell's 5th Birthday

In a blink of the eye, our youngest daughter is now 5 years old! Having just returned from our trip to Chicago, we quickly pulled together a family/friend dinner complete with flowers, balloons, food, gifts, cake/ice cream, and fun for our wonderful big girl.

We excitedly purchased Campbell the American Girl Doll, Julie, while in Chicago. She was thrilled to open her up and of course her pet bunny, Nutmeg.

Thank You all for helping make Campbell's 5th birthday a success.

Happy 5th Birthday, Campbell.


Thanks Teagan, Bailey, Ryland, Cooper, and Addy for celebrating with us.


Good Night Campbell. Good Night Julie.
