It's late

Very late, 12:42 am to be exact... Cam is up late playing computer nerd games with the brothas so I've been surfing the net into the wee hours... we have meant to update but accidentally packed the camera, from our last family vacation, into someone else's luggage... we are still waiting for it to get sent back to us.  I hate posting an update with no proof of our adventures.  UGH!!  But, we have fun news!!

Campbell is officially walking, as of Thursday the 31st of July, 2008!  OK, she's been getting around alright for quite a long time but never took the initiative to do it unassisted until about 2 weeks ago.  but she loves it and gets a kick out of herself.  We have some videos, but they are too big to upload or something so you all have to wait till the camera gets sent!!

Jace will be starting school in a few weeks!  I cannot believe my little boy is all grown up!  it's just Pre-K but still!  He's so pumped about it!  We went and got all his school supplies and have gone by the school at least once a week for the last 3 weeks... yeah, he's excited!

Anyway, our summer is going great!  We've had trips to the park, splash parks, BBQ's Pirate's Cove, the Temple, summer reading programs... we are enjoying life and our time together.  Cam has 2 more weeks off so we're making the most of our short break!  Pics to come as soon as possible!  Or Maybe I'll convince Cameron we need a nicer, newer camera!!..... g'nite!

A cool website for cards

I found a blog recently that has some awesome work I wanted to share... if you're looking to make a cute card, this is a great place to look! http://nancyvandenberg.blogspot.com/ She does amazing work and has been published in magazines numerous times! Cute cute stuff! Enjoy!

On Vacation...

We are out in GR for a little bit so I'll be off the net for a while, but wanted to say we are having fun. We will be in Utah seeing cousins, BBQing, and swimming for the Fourth! We can't wait! Camper got over being sick this past week and Jace has picked it up... at least we have a few days before we will be with all the fam! Hope everyone has a great holiday! Love, The Birch Bunch

Drum Roll Please...

SO I finally switched up the blog.. I know, I'm such a slow poke! But now I don't have to worry about losing my widgets! So here is McCampbell (Movie Star Couple Name) in the bath tub at Chrissy's house this past week. They were so funny in the tub! The Big Splash!!
Jace on the Carousel in Colo. Mills Mall with Brooke and Hunter

Here's the long awaited pic of the workbench Cameron made for me to use.. It's in use right now so I didn't get a full shot of it... and it's windy right now so I'm not going out to clean it up for a full shot until it quits!The old Dining Table, soon to become a crafting table!!

The new Dining Table... much smaller and I love the chairs and the color!!
Campbell at Pirate's Cove over the weekend... nevermind the hippo to the left
It's like they say: Once you POP, you can't stop!! She was loving the Pringles!
Jace et. al. in the sandbox at PC. He thought it was so cool that you could pour water all over the place!!
There was also a lazy river, a splash park, and pirate ship, and a lap pool with a diving board and slides at PC! It was such a fun, hot day! We were so glad to have Dad back!!

Pictures?!! YES!! (finally...)

First, a warning: The mouse is at the bottom of this plethora of pictures!! Here is a funny one of Punky B having some spaghetti! She was so proud of herself and her cute mess! I love the expressions she makes and the way she gets giggly when she thinks she's being funny! Love her so much! Here's Jace and a friend racing on the Wii! They were so cute and really getting intense!
Aurora Reservoir. I love that place, but grr, the price went up to $7 per day per car... gotta love inflation! They were adding sand to the sand bar, but it hadn't been spread yet. It was fun climbing to the top and then jumping down! And it was nicer sand than what is already there! I hate gritty stuff so this will be a nice, soft mix!
Dad's BIG B-Day. Well, almost the big one... 29 just seems so old though! Camper has the cutest grin! She is totally in love with her pop! Little Punk got Dad a cool dino coloring book they can do together! What a champ! Dad loved it!
Here's one from a while ago, at the father and son's camp out. It's like one of two... men are such awful picture takers!

Punky B at GG's with Gatorade, that was a fun/hard/busy trip! We really got a lot in!
Jace's Pirate Party
They skewered their food with mini swords! The boys all loved it!
Yikes, the bane of our existence for like 4 days... it was misery wondering if we'd find him on the carpet or the kids would get to it first! So glad that long weekend is over! But glad to have a sparkling clean kitchen!! Enjoy... blech!
