Boating

We went boating with Gina and her kids yesterday. It was fun, however I will never go on a Saturday again. There are really stupid and inexperienced boaters and jet skiers on the lake. Apparently everyone can drive a boat. Yeah, makes you think.
So we played it REALLY safe and went to find a cove. It was fine until some really uneducated people decided to join us pulling a water skier going really fast in our small little cove, Stephen ended up yelling at him to stop and then the guy let all 15 people out of his boat to party on the shore. So we left. To find a new cove. And we did, it was better. That's were I took these neat pictures.








Have a Gymnast for a friend makes for fun times and great pictures against the beautiful blue sky.

Tomales Bay

We spent the weekend with Denise Rob and Kaeleana in Tomales in a cute little house called the Poet's Loft. It is on the water, not near or close or partial on, but totally on top of the water. On stilts. Yes I was a little nerves until I saw that they were concrete stilts, then I was put at ease.
I tried something different with these pictures so I didn't have to load a bunch separately.

We did a lot of fun things that weekend. We fished a lot, wine tasted, ate yummy donuts, watched the girls play together. Denise and I went to Point Reyes to run up to Arch Rock, it was fantastic. And we would end each night with yummy food, laughs and wine!

Ok, so that didn't work like I thought it would. I am going to have to consult the expert and the manual for photo collages.

Alot has been going on....

We have been so busy this summer, so not too much blogging going on! Here is a little OK maybe a long recap of some of the fun stuff we have done.

Lake Tahoe July 2009, we went up Tahoe as a family and I mean the WHOLE family Moms and Dads, Sisters, Brothers, Cousins, and even a few friends!! We celebrated Rob graduating from Residency his mom and sister came out from New York. We also celebrated my 33rd Birthday. It was fun!








That's our trip, well most days anyway. Shelby was really sick from a bladder infection, and then my camera battery died and I forgot to recharge it.

Fun times!!!

Yesterday I went to the Sacramento Antique Faire, Mer, Dylan and Moe met me there. It was a great day I don't have a lot of time but I will post these pics. ok, one picture. I know totally lame.

I was so excited when I saw it. It was just staring at me when we were walking to the gate! it needs a little love but thats all. I am so excited to get started on this.
I also picked up some fantastic patterns, dating from 50-70's. I am also excited to be working on those too.

This ones for YOU!

And you know who you are! OK, so that last month has been fun and full of fun stuff, at home and on little journeys through out the land.
I also want to thank a friend for reintroducing me to Oregon Trail. Yes now I spend more time on that then I do FB. its just that fun.





San Francisco Zoo has always been a favorite. but this time we were a tad bit disappointed. there were a lot of animals that were being checked by the vet and some of the exhibits were closed. But the weather was fantastic and the kids had a great time.
After the zoo we headed to our hotel and to have dinner and to take advantage of the Manager cocktail hour.... FREE Cocktail hour! Then on to a little Thai restaurant. We were dropped off at the restaurant by the shuttle and then we would have to walk back. On the way to the restaurant the children were able to see the real live people zoo of San Fran! A man peeing on a building on the side walk, and men sleeping in cardboard boxes and sleeping bags along side of buildings and sidewalks. It was so great. The children had decided that those people forgot to pay there bills and that is why they didn't have a place to pee or sleep. Fun Times.



the next day we went to California Science Academy over spring break it was a lot of fun. There was so much to see and the kids really had a good time. We did miss the Planetarium show. Stephen was a really sad. I don't think I have ever seen him so disappointed.

I was going to add Easter pics but they won't load.UGH!

It's been a long time friend

Wow, it has been so long since I lasted checked in. Looking back at my last post I just received the Feb. Kit! Now I am getting my March Kit.. I will post pics and soon as I get it.
In the meantime these pics are what we have been up to lately.


I love these pictures, I spent hours scanning and naming old photos, and I still have hundreds to go. This picture is of Stephen side of the family.

This is a picture of Kelsey and Taylor from my Brownie Troop. A local Girl Scout Troop held a Mother Daughter Tea. A few girls from my troop went and we met up and had tea and crafts it was a fun afternoon.
Kelsey is using a pen she just decorated with a silk flower. She loved doing this and it was so easy we might just make more of them and give them as gifts for Mother's Day.

As if I didn't have anything else I could be doing I started to put some of Great Grandma's items on Ebay. I have never done this before and I am quite scared. I know I am a wimp, but these kinds of things frighten me. I hope that I did the right pricing and descriptions to sell these items, because I have a ton more! This women loved to collect and collect she did. If there is anyone out there that has a fascination with old creamers and pitchers from different countries, please let me know!





Ah, spring time in this house mean SO much bike riding. My girls love to ride their bikes. Santa aka: Mama and Papa, gave Shelby a bike for Christmas. She loves to ride it. And she has such determination when she does. Her little tongue pops out and her little legs just keep digging to go faster. Kelsey loves to race Shelby because she wins! It won't be like that for much longer. I think Shelby's training wheels will be off in no time!



The girls and I watched Kaeleana last night so Denise and Rob could go out to dinner and have an adult conversation that didn't require, looking for dropped toys, fish crackers and screaming tantrums... Remember those days? (reason 12 why we did not have a 3rd child).
Kaeleana is such a sweet loving determined little goose. We love having her around. She has started talking and copying words. I have been trying to teach her how to say Auntie. When I say Auntie, she points to herself. We have a lot of work to do.
Well, that is enough Campbell family fun for one day!
We are going to the California Science Academy and Exploritorium in SF, this week, so I will have so many fun pics and stories to tell.
Have a fantastic sunny Sunday.
