NEW YEARS... It seems like forever ago!

I'm so very behind on blogging lately!  We have just a few (million) things going on in our lives right now.  Anyhow, I want to catch up...

The Campbell clan made our annual New Years trip.  This year we chose to go back to Vegas with all the other crazies!:)  It was so much fun but totally exhausting because I'm too old to act like a 20 year old!:)

Of course we had to wear our annual "you won a ticket to go on our trip" shirts!  We're nerds and we know it!

 Night one we watched the OU BCS bowl game at Emeril Legasses Stadium and then hit the craps tables!  Everyone ended up winning alot of money so we celebrated at Tao until the wee hours of the morning!

 We started our New Years Eve celebration by singing Happy Birthday to Gammy (Elyce) and having a delicious dinner at Cut!  Then we moved our party to the patio at Chateau (which is in the Paris).  We reserved a table on the balcony looking over the strip so we could see all the chaos from above.  It was incredible!  The fireworks were amazing and everyone had a blast!

 On our last full day in Vegas, Garrett took me to lunch at my most favorite restuarant, Mon Ami Gabi.  This is where we got engaged exactly 8 years ago!  They almost sat us at the exact same table where GC proposed!  We had a wonderful lunch and mimosas!

 The boys celebrated NYE at their annual party "The Blackburn Bash!"  They went to the Jasmine Morran Childrens Museum, took nature walks on the farm, went to the park, and probably drove Nana and Chief a little nuts!!!:)

NYE2011 = SUCCESS!

Jingle Bell Rocked!!!

We had an amazing evening and feast for kings with the entire Blackburn family the weekend before Christmas, however, I didn't end up with any pics from the night???:(

It seems like December just flew by this year!  I can't believe Christmas is already over!:(  I'm so glad we made memories with old traditions and new ones this year!  Our family is blessed beyond measure!

Crazy Saturday!

We had our first crazy Saturday this past weekend.  We were going ninety different directions from sun up till sun down.  We even had to split up to make sure both kids made it to their respective activities.  Garrett went with Cruz to basketball while I went with Jett to his school Christmas Program.  Then we had Cruz's Christmas Program, then quick naps and we dropped them off at Gammy and Papa's while we went to two adult Chrismas parties at the homes of some great friends.

Here is Jett's class from Creative Kids.  After he warmed up a bit, he started to get into the singing and dancing!

Here is Cruz's class!  They each had a speaking part at the microphone and sang some of their favorite Chrismas songs!

Santa decided to make a suprise visit to Gammy and Papa's house and deliver some early presents for Cruz and Jett!

 Jett is still not a fan!:(

 And these are three of my bestest friends, whom I don't get to see nearly enough!  So when we do get together, we act like crazy kids and take silly pictures like this one below!  We can hardly contain ourselves!!! :)



I HEART CRAZY SATURDAYS!!!:)

Cruz's First Basketball Game

Cruz had his first basketball game last week.  The kids are all 4 and for most of them it is their first time to play so it is pretty entertaining.  He seems to love all the action that comes along with the game!  The score ended up being 2 to 2 so we considered it a win for Team Campbell!!!:)  Can't wait to see these kids having fun the rest of the season!

 

Santa & Crickey the Elf

We have had so many exciting things happen over the last week that I just don't know where to start.  Cruz wrote Santa a letter right after Thanksgiving asking him for some very special presents including some transformers and a new bike.  Well this week he received a letter in return.  Santa told him he has been watching over him and hearing about all of the great work that Cruz is doing in school.  He actually sent us a special elf named Crickey to spend some time with us right before the holidays.  Crickey is very sneaky and ends up playing all over our house while we're sleeping! 

The holidays are in full force!

This is one of my most favorite times of year!  Christmas parties, friends, family, games, etc. etc.  I love all of it!  We spent this past Friday night with the boys in Bricktown.  It started with snow tubing at the Bricktown Ballpark, followed by a trip to see Santa at Bass Pro, and ended with the new Chipmunks movie at Harkins Theater.  The boys were wiped out by the end of the evening and both fell asleep on the way home! 


Last year Cruz was only tall enough to go down the small slide.  This year he and his BFF Brodie zoomed down the giant slide over and over and loved every minute of it!!!

Jett is NOT a fan of Santa just yet!:(

This movie is super cute! 

Basketball Woop Woop!

Cruz is starting his basketball career at the YMCA this season!  Practices started last week and I think he may be a natural!:)  Garrett is coaching his team (with the help of some of the other Dads & Uncle Marshall) so it should be a very entertaining season!

Little Crazy Man!!!

I have this little crazy man.
He lives in my house.
He comes out to play in strange outfits every night.
He is a food grazer and he likes to dance to loud music.
I think he may grow up to be an entertainer!
