The Blessing Day was so fabulous. Aftyn's Papa(Drews dad) blessed her. We had so many family and friends there to support us. We blessed her early so we had a little breakfast afterwards we had to do it in a conference room at a hotel since we had 60 plus people there.


Papa and Aftyn

All the men that stood in the circle(hope I did not miss any one)

And A few pictures of her dress and little details that went with it

...And he did CoMe

Wow Christmas was SUPER fun this Year! Ella thought it was fabulous! Our Pictures tell the story (I think)

The cookies were made Santa


The Lettuce(no idea where she got that reindeer ate lettuce) was left for the Reindeer


Aftyn just sitting on the couch enjoying herself.

Christmas Morning

Christmas Eve with my moms side.

I did not get any pics at my dads or Drews moms, oops! We surpriesed drews mom and showed up at almost 10 christmas eve so all her kids could be there together.
It was a great Christmas. We hope you all had a great one too

Here comes Santa Claus.....

So we have had a few Christmas encounters I thought I would share, then I will add the big day to it later. We have met Santa 2 times and Ella was not afraid YAY!! last year she screamed.. This Year she went right up sat on his lap and said I want a BABY.. So cute.

We met him first at Kamryn's christmas concert in Brigham it was a bit cold so I had to bundle up Aftyn and away we went.
Atyn is in a sling under the big blanket..ha ha

Later that day we made ginger bread houses at my moms

We enjoyed a cold yet fun evening at the zoo lights. Ella had so many clothes on and she still just froze. When we were on the Carousel the wind was getting us she says: I am cold I--Cant--Breath. it was sad but she giggled the rest of the time.

And our New family tradition: I love the forgotten carols I go every year with my mom and sisters, this year he came out with a book for kids, So we got us a treat, Ella got to open her christmas pjs and we read the book together and hung to ornaments that go with the book on the tree, it was fun, I cant wait to do it every year.

And Ella and I playing in the snow

Hope you all have a Merry Chrstmas!!!

(I will get the blessing day up on here when I get some pictures taken of just Aftyn in the dress we did not get around to that the day of it was too crazy)

Halloween 2010

I know I just changed things to look like Christmas and posted about Halloween..

Aftyn first Halloween 6 days old

Aftyn K Campbell

Okay I was going to post Halloween first but it seems I forgot my camera anywhere we went so I must wait for someone to email me some (so if anyone has some of me and Ella can you email them)


So on to a much funner event in our Family, We are now a family of 4!!!
Miss Aftyn was born on Oct 25th at 8:24 weighing in at 6lbs 15oz (2 pounds bigger than Ella) 19.5 inches

She came quick, for a brief story I went into Labor at 230 pm at home we waited a bit until I knew they were contractions, getting to the hospital around 4:45, By the time they decided I was at a 4+ and really in labor, they got me to my room giving me the epidural and breaking my water around 615ish. She then checked me at 7 I was at a 6, The nurse said she would be back in 2 hours to check again, (i knew that was way too long) at 737 I felt the pressure sure enough I was ready. They got all set up called the dr and she was born at 824 after only pushing through 2 contractions. We just LOVE her so much. and Ella is so sweet and soft with her. She tells everyone about her baby Aftyn, she is very proud. Enjoy the Pictures! (there are plenty to look at)


Here we are the 4 of us in the hospital

Getting home from the hospital
Thanks to all our family for your LOVE and SUPPORT, i hear it was a zoo in the waiting room cause there was so many people, but I would not want it any other way. I can not imagine not having the supportive family that we have, and going through this with out them. We love you all and Thanks again.

Looking Through Pictures.....

.....and here is what i found
When we got home from church Ella decided she needed to wear my shoes and her hat-it was like 95 outside


I came to go to bed the other night this is what i found.. Silly girl

And i found a few very funny videos but can not figure out how to upload them RATS!
and next to come belly pictures of 1st and 2nd pregnancy to compare....Stay tuned

2 1/2 getting her very first haircut

Okay so I know its weird but I have never cut Ella's hair, I figure if we want it long it has to grow... But of course it was getting stragely so we had to cut the nasty ends off..


Getting ready


The cold spray (she says; mom I have to close my eyes)



She was holding so still, I was shocked.


and No I did not cut the mullet out of it. the sides will catch up eventually :)
