Happy Halloween!

For Halloween this year we had Hannah Montana aka Alyssa...

Mario aka Trevor...

and a little ladybug aka Kylie.

Trevor turns 6-Part 2

So the evening of his birthday we were supposed to have a little family birthday party with the Campbell side, but we had to cancel since Trevor was sick. Grandma and Grandpa braved it out (this was BEFORE we knew he had Strep, oops) and still came to wish Trevor a happy birthday and eat cake and ice-cream with us. They brought him this Lego airplane...

...and a new scooter! Trevor rode it around the house all night and all the next day. :-)
Here is his finished Lego airplane. He got a Lego set last year for his birthday and loved putting it together but needed quite a bit of help. This time, he did most of it by himself. I basically just made sure he didn't miss a step. I was pretty impressed. It took us about 2 hours!
Trevor is awesome. He is so full of life and energy. It is exhausting, but can be really fun as well. :-) I love to watch him play sports. He has so much fun and gets some of his energy out...it's great! :-) He is doing great in soccer this season. He usually scores at least 3 goals each game. Some more about Trevor:
*He is doing so great in school.
*He loves Kindergarten.
*He is becoming very independent. When I drop him off at school, he begs me to not get out of the car because he wants to walk up to his classroom all by himself. :-)
*He is a self-starter when it comes to homework. He usually does his whole packet the first day he gets it, without me even asking him.
*He loves Mario and Luigi...he's going to be Mario for Halloween.
*He can be very very sweet with his sisters, at times. :-) When he is, it seriously melts my heart.
*He's GREAT at taking the garbage out and seems to enjoy having that responsibility. On the flip side, he HATES to clean his room. His subborn side really comes out with that one.
*I love that he's not afraid to try new things. He just goes for it, and I love that!

Happy Birthday Buddy!

Trevor turns 6!!!

Trevor had a birthday last week! Blogger would not load all my pics, OF COURSE, so there will be another birthday post soon when I have gathered enough patience to try again. We started the birthday celebrations on Sunday night, the night before his b-day. We had Grandma and Grandpa Telford, Aunt Kelsi, and Great-Grammy and Grandpa Garcia over for dinner and Angel Food Cake, Trevor's choice. He got a DS, MarioKart, and some accessories for the DS from Mark and I, and Grandma and Grandpa Telford. Grammy and Grandpa gave him some money that he spent the next day on two new DS games: Toy Story 3 and Super Mario Brothers. So the day of his actual birthday, Monday, he woke up seeming fine but within an hour he was not feeling so great. He layed on the couch most of the day. It was so sad to see him sick on his birthday. The next day, Tuesday, I took him to the doctor to find out he had Strep Throat. :-( Poor guy! To be continued... (p.s. make sure you read the post under this one about A New Post)

A New Post

Okay so I got this idea from a friend and I love it. I've started a new blog where I will post on it WHEN I post on my real blog. So add this new blog to your blog list in place of my private one, and you'll be able to see when I update my blog. There is also a short cut to my real blog on this "new blog" so all you have to do is click on the link, and then type in your password, and you're to my real blog! Make sense? Try it, you'll see.

New blog address: http://campbellfamnewpost.blogspot.com/

We're going private

I've decided to make our blog private so if you'd like to be able to view our blog, leave a comment with your email address so I can add you as a reader. Thanks!

First Day of School!

Once again, blogger has uploaded my pictures backwards. And it's not letting me post more than these! And it takes too long to fix it so these will just be kind of out of order. It was Trevor's first day of Kindergarten today! He did SO great! After we took Alyssa to school he spent the next few hours asking me how much longer until he got to go to school. FINALLY, it was time to go. He walked right in, found his name at his table, hung his backpack on his chair, and then sat on the carpet just like the teacher told the kids to do. He gave me about 15 hugs and kisses. Then it was time for all the kids to say good-bye to the parents, and they all turned and waved to us. Trevor waved and blew me a kiss, and that was that! He did so awesome!

Alyssa started 2nd grade today! She hasn't been super thrilled about school starting, BUT she HAS been super thrilled about her outfit she picked out. :-)

Alyssa did awesome too. She got a little sad when it was time for me to leave, but a warning about losing her "treat" (bribe, reward) did the trick, and she walked right in.

Both kids are home now and both had a FABULOUS day! They love their teachers. Alyssa has been so peppy since she got home, and when I picked Trevor up he said, "Why do we have to leave already?!" He wanted to stay longer. Well tomorrow he will get to stay a little longer. Today was a minimum day, which made it a little crazy for me! Alyssa went at 8:20, then back to the school to take Trevor at 11:10, then back to pick up Alyssa at 12:30, then back at 1:40 to pick up Trevor. Normal day for Alyssa is 8:20-2:30 and for Trevor 11:10-2:30 so I can at least pick them up at the same time. I think it's going to be a great year!
