From the Agriculture expo to a night at the Fair

Dad, Shane and Zack's Tuesday Morning started bright and early.  They decided on Monday they would take a road trip to Georgia.  I must say that papa, Robert, and Major was able to take over at the chicken houses to make this trip possible for th boys.  I just love they way they all work together so that each of them are able to enjoy different areas of life.  Robert has been there to help out for many years now.  He was there when no one else was so that dad could go to our football games, rodeos, and family trips and for this I would like to say a special thanks from the bottom of my heart.  The boys did indeed have a wonderful time I hear at the expo.  Shane says they saw several types of equipment. He said he was beyond describing at the amount of things that were there.  I do believe they even went for a little farm shopping, not that they told us, we just happen to notice Zack's new rubber shoes.  I am thankful that they were able to go and have a day of just farm talk and lots of fun.  I think it is important that we spend time with the ones that we care about.  The expo did not end this fun filled day though it was a night at the fair with the entire family. 
Our family I would say has always been unique, others may not think so but I do.  I feel that we are able to have fun no matter what.  We told Kennleigh and Jonathan that we were going to the fair.  Well for Jonathan he was good with anything it just did not matter.  Kennleigh on the other hand had lots of questions on the ride down.  "Tat, tell me what is goin be like."  Before we got this questioned answered she already had a ton more.  When we got there she was just so overwhelmed at all of the fun rides as well as the lights.  It was too sweet Kennleigh saw that Jonathan was a little un easy about riding some of the different rides, but that did not stop her from being right their with him.  She said to Jonathan, come on baby I ain't gone let that man get you I will put you in that big truck and hold on to you , I promise its going to be okay.  Well needless to say it don't take much to presueade him.  Jonathan and Kennleigh climbs in the big truck and rode several rounds because jonathan refused to get out.  We did talk them into riding the elephants, the horses, and even the speedway( it slings you though and that was a bit much for Kennleigh- no tears just great big eyes.. to funny).  I am indeed very thankful for the family GOd has blessed me with and all of the fun events we are able to do together. 

Family is the Best :-)

I must start by saying that God has indeed blessed me with a wonderful family.  I have always had such a close relationship with my mom and dad as well as Ashley and Zack.  In fact, on the weekends of our teenage years we looked out for each other we took Zack on dates with us. Before we started dating Me and Ashley would convince dad we needed money and then we would go shopping.  I had a great time with them growing up.. but guess what the good time has not stopped.  I remember that when we started dating we decided as brothers and sisters we wanted our spouse to be close to our family.  I can honestly say that is exactly the way that it is in the Campbell house.  Dad laughs and jokes with everyone.  I guess if he did not pick on us we simply would think he did not love us. However, SOme people may not know how to take dad sense of humor.  On the other hand,mom, myself, Shane, Ashley, Kyle Zack and Jerinda, and don't forget Jonathan, Kennleigh, And Blakeleigh would not know how to act with out his great sense of humor.  If we go somewhere as a family you can bet we will laugh the entire time.  We like this though just good clean fun. 

This weekend we went to Gulf shores and Dad decided that we should go shopping in Foley and then cut across to Mobile to go through the tunnel and let the kids get that experience of life as well as take a nap on the way.  I don't know who had more fun going through the tunnel the "Big Kids" or the little.  We picked up some speed to go with the flow o traffic and the starting with what I thought was Daddy and Mommy I hear horns start to blow.   It was too funny All I could do was laugh one horn, then the other, and then another, and another.  To funny, however mos would probably seethis immature.  I say to those people enjoy life and stop worrying what others think.  IF the worse thing we every do is blow the horn at each other in the mobile tunnel so be it.  We did manage to get some Christimas shopping done.  We even put Aunt SHerinda on the carousel  with Kennleigh and Jonathan.  I would have rode with my kids but then I would have fell off from being dizzy.  Aunt Ashley even took a few turn as well.  We ended the family night by eating at Texas Roadhouse in Mobile.  We did have a loads of fun.  Family is so important they are the ones that always have your back no matter what.

Thankful... to have such good family

Last week I recieve a phone call that says can I have Kennleigh for the weekend.. Me: Do what? That might be a job.... lol! The voice on the other end : no she is no trouble I really want her to go with me if you don't mind.. Me: no sure its fine What time do you want her dressed.  ( this meant for a few hours on Friday night and several hours on Saturday)

Later I recieve a text message from Jerinda . Will you let Kennleigh go with us this weekend... I said sure yall have fun

SO by now I know you are wandering just who I am speaking of and that would be my wonderful Little brother Zack.  He is so sweet to the kids no wander they prefer him over me. lol

Zack and Jerinda took Kennleigh and Jonathan to the Rodeo Saturday to watch Bailey.. They had a blast.  I did not know what to do on the other hand I was a little bored.  However I found it funny that Zack and Jerinda would want to take time out with the kids.  They may not realize it but The children did have fun.  Kennleigh has talked about this trip for quit sometime.  In fact I will share a funny dramatic stroy with you.  From Kennleigh

Momma,
Guess what we did today?
Me: I have no idea?
Kennleigh: we went to the rodeo to watch Bailey and I sat in uncle Juniors lap.
ME: wow Kennleigh sounds like you had a lot of fun.
Kennleigh: Yep Guess what else I did
Me: I don't know .. Um ate at Mcdonalds
Kennleigh : no Cracker Barrell but thats not all... Aunt Sherinda(Jerinda) took me to ride the bulls.  I said SHerinda my uncle zack is going to  be mad if you hurt his baby.  SHe said but it was fun momma.  I am not roping like uncle zack when I get big I am riding the bulls. 

Too funny.... AND NO NONE OF THAT HAPPEN..... LOL

Kennleigh does have a wild imaginations .

Jonathan had a blast too, but I thinks is momma just felt a little wierd without that little boy on her hip....

Thanks again Zack and Jerinda for taking the kids and making special memories with them:)

Never a Dull Moment at the Lee house.... And we love it

So for three years now we haven't had to many quit moments in our home, and that is fine by me.  I had rather hear a child sing, giggle, and play over the television any day.  I have enjoyed the last three years with Kennleigh and now to share that with Blakeleigh, and don't forget all of Kennleigh's friends she enjoys having over.   This past monday Aunt Sherrie had a doctor appointment so this meant Kennleigh could stay with me and play with breanna all day.. They had a blast.  We started off with putting on our makeup ( boy where they expressing themselves lol) They had lipstick at there eyes and blue eye shed to ( shadow) on there cheeks it was too cute.  We then washed our faces and headed to Granny's house ( o the fenced in yard is so nice...... with the rockers on the porch...) The girls went to ride the golf cart, the jeep, and the tractors.  Well since we did not have enough people to play with we called Chloe - Kennleigh all time best friend from church, and Landan.  They had a blast... to bad Paw forgot to charge the batteries in the tractor.  We ate some easy Mac with Granny for lunch and then back out to play.  It started raining, and it was pitiful I guess they thought we would make them go home, but know Gran has a supper cool play room with a pool table, t.v., riding toys, walkers, and the list goes on.  SO we played pool and the kids even tried to help me out by sneaking the solid color balls in the pockets ( due to the fact I am not very Good) I did not correct there cheating behavior but Aunt Ree did.  I don't know why she was going to beat me anyway.  SHe is just super good at playing pool and I on the other hand am NOT!  We did indeed have a great day.  THe kids were totally exhausted.

8 months...

Well I must start my saying that it has been a long time since I have had a minute to just sit down and update the blog.  SO Blakeleigh Turned 8 months on Oct.2,2011. At eight months we are now doing the following.....

Crawling

pulling up

saying mama.... super excited

saying dada.... He as well is so excited.

she has her fear of men almost gone... tops is super excited

she loves riding the golf cart with tat and tops

And she just thinks the world of Lexie Kay..... Blakeleigh is not use to the pampering and Lexie gives
her that so she is really enjoying her.

She loves for Kennleigh to sing...  she will just giggle and squill to the top of her lungs.. it is quit funny!

she thinks that at 8:30 it is time to be sung to... it doesn't even matter if we are in the middle of walmart.. you will pat the bottom of those cute little feet and sing joy is mine

She is enjoying the Friday night football games with Momma, Daddy, and Aunt Sherrie.  I think she has figured out that daddy like to stand up..... not social event for dad like it is mom.  SO Blakeleigh and Daddy stand and are engaged in the game.... To funny

She has fallen off the bed about three times now... but thats okay its bound to happen... after the second time it happen she crawled right off and let out a big giggle.. me - my heart litterly stopped of a second I believe but she thought it was just funny.

SHe loves to give big hugs and kisses... and I enjoy recieving them.  It was too cute Sunday at church she just put her little chunky cheek right against Nannie's face... I am pretty sure Nannie was over joyed.  

Blakeleigh Loves to go see Nana and Bop.  I think Nana's Peas may have a lot to do with this.... they are delicious.

Well I guess I most close by saying that this has been the most amazing 8 months of our lives.  Kennleigh is really enjoying being the big sister.  And for me and Shane we are just over joyed that God has blessed us with two sweet little girls.
