He'll be missed

We've noticed lately that our pet turtle Lucky was acting very weak. The last time we gave him fish he didn't have the strength to go after them, so i would have to kill the fish and feed it to him. He continued to be weak. We tried to give him some lettuce and he wouldn't eat it either. Just last night, Lucky died and Cameron had to bury him in our backyard, we were both surprised. Cameron got this turtle when he was 10 yrs old, when he was the size of a quarter. He had been in Cameron's life for almost 15 yrs, and in mine for 3. We're sure it must have been his time to go, we'll miss him making noise in his tank upstairs.

It's a...

Boy!

We are so excited to be having a boy. Now it's name searching time!

Take a Guess

We found out what we're having last Tuesday! For those of you who don't know yet, would you like to take a guess? I'll be posting your answer this Sunday :)

We Have A Baby On The Way!

This is very old news but Cameron and I are finally expecting our first baby! We were super excited when we found out that we couldn’t hold the news from at least our immediate families. My parents were stoked and still are, making sure I’m taking care of myself for the baby’s sake. This will be the first time my parents become grandparents, so to let them know we made my little brother Ryan a shirt that said, “I will be an uncle July 2011” my mom was the first to read it and started screaming, then came Rosy’s loud screaming, my dad still hadn’t read the shirt while they were going crazy, when he finally saw it he totally understood. We are so excited to become parents and can’t wait to meet our baby. I am 14 weeks and have been over my morning sickness for a few weeks now, which is great. I still gag here and there but it’s nothing like it used to be. I’m not showing a baby bump yet but I am showing a bloat bump, and it drives me insane, I just look like I gained what I lost not too long ago. We’ve heard our baby’s heart beat and seem it kicking and stretching through the ultrasound. Unfortunately, I don’t have a scanner to post the pictures and my OB always seems to pause the picture at the wrong time. But thankfully Cameron has been there every time so he’s seen everything I’ve seen, and not just what the picture shows. We can’t thank our Heavenly Father enough for this chance we have to carry our baby and build the kingdom of God by allowing another member into our eternal family. We feel so happy, and closer to each other, we didn’t know we could feel any closer. I love that Cameron shows so much excitement for this new chapter we’re starting together, I am just beaming right now :)

Family Christmas Party

We had the Campbell side Christmas Party at our house this year, and thankfully everyone enjoyed it. With only 17 minutes, each family made a gingerbread house and here are how they turned out.

The Malkins


Ours

The Williams (very creative)

and Mom and Dad's

This was a fun activity, all the houses turned out great.

This is all of us except for Dad at the Mission Inn later that night.

Same Old

It has been a long time! But school and work is what has kept us so busy. We're are still around and alive. Just one more week of school, then I can finally catch up on some reading and blogging :) can't wait for some free time.

Our Fun-Filled Weekend

We took the chance to go teh the Off-Road expo this year since we didn't make it last year. They had so many more things this time, but there was also so many people.. yuck! Cameron did take loads of pictures for the blog but there's too many so here's some. We had a blast!

every truck there was huge!


Cameron does attempt to park his truck like this at church.. sshh.

I have also been running with my buddies. Thanks to them, I'm becoming the runner that I once was again:)
So I ran my first 5K this weekend and I want to do it again, even though I wasn't fast or did great or anything but I am very proud of myself.

This is me at the finish line. 3.1 in 28:27 min.

These fast runners ran the 10K, they did really good.
I'm so short, He He


Fun Stuff!!
