We survived the 3.0 Earthquake of 2008...in EULESS!

Matt and I were still awake last night sometime after 11:30, and we felt something that I would have described as Big Foot stomping in our front yard. We both freaked out and got up to check all of the rooms, check outside, lock all of doors and even set our alarm. We didn't know what it was. We thought maybe a tree had fallen or a car had run into our neighbor's house or something. We just felt this strange rumble for just a quick second. We turned on the weather to see if there were any storms, because it felt almost like thunder without the loud boom. Anyways, it was driving us nuts last night. Then about 10 minutes later we felt it again as if he was a few blocks away. I come into work this morning to get this article from a coworker!! How crazy!!! Well, at least I know we aren't crazy!! Earthquake

Fall Festival

Tonight we met some friends at the Fall Festival that Gateway Church has each year. It was a lot of fun for the kids. Unfortunately my camera battery died shortly after we got there, but I did get a few pictures of the cute costumes!

Here is the boot-wearing-fairy-princess-ballerina with pink boots and the cutest Elmo ever!

We also met up with Hannah Montana and Karsyn Candy Corn!

Stinky Poop

It's not as gross as the title sounds! We went for a walk around the block this morning, and on our way back to the house we passed some dog poo in a front yard.

Campbell pointed and said: "Ooh, stinky poop!"
I said: "That's yucky!"

We kept walking, but she waved and said "Bye bye stinky poop...hab a nice day."

Enjoy the tunes of Miss Campbell Kay!

I finally caught it on video....Campbell singing! She sings songs ALL the time, but every time I get the camera out she always gets distracted by something else and won't perform. Anyways, I got the ABC song and Twinkle Twinkle on camera. Unfortunately she's not facing the camera some of the time, but my battery was low so I was plugged into the wall and couldn't move far enough to get around her. Anyways, crank up your volume and enjoy!! Her pronunciations need some work - they are pretty amusing!

Texas State Fair

We actually made a trip to the fair this year! We went on Saturday with Russell, Joyce and Channing. After about an hour of waiting in line for parking, we finally arrived around 3:00. We stayed until almost 8:30, so we definitely got some good hours at the fair. We took the girls to this Little Hands activity where they wore aprons and carried buckets. They had to follow directions and harvest crops, milk cows, and then turn in their goods for money that they used to buy treats. Of course, it was all pretend. Campbell and Channing both followed directions very well - it was pretty cute! At the end they each got to pick 2 packs of crackers and/or cookies with their "earnings", and then we all got a free ice cream bar for completing the tasks. We walked around to see different booths, including the Borden's cows. Of course the girls enjoyed seeing any animals that we could find. We also watched the pig races, but sadly we missed the dancing dog show. After we each ate our "dinner" of choice.....corny dog for Missy and Joyce, Turkey Leg for Russell and Channing, and a hamburger for Matt (Campbell only had crackers since she actually THREW UP right before we started eating - that was lovely!)....we all were very selective of the FRIED dessert that we felt obligated to try. We all chose Fried S'mores - YUM YUM!! They were excellent! I'll probably try Fried Snickers next year! I will say that Chicken Fried Bacon must have been pretty good, because the line was out of control for those!! Of course, Matt can't resist some good cotton candy, so we all shared a bag of cotton candy while watching the parade that night. It was really pretty since it wasn't until dark and all the floats were lit up. We then walked around and watched some of the CRAZY rides that they have, but none of us ventured to try any. So...although it was not a cheap outing, we had a really good time!

Here Campbell is petting the baby Borden cow....I forgot his name! Also, we had to get a picture of Matt and I trying our FRIED treats!

I love this pictures of the girls being silly in the stroller together!

Go Express!

Campbell was the official cheerleader for Channing's soccer game this weekend! I made her this shirt with iron on letters. The front says Go Express (their team name), and the back says I LUV CHANNING and her jersey number 7. It was pretty cute. Campbell wasn't in the best of moods, but she still represented well.

Here's a picture of the ONLY single time that Channing touched the ball!

With her juice box after a tiring game, Campbell fit in like she was part of the team!

Here are a couple of other cute pictures from last week. Thursday was Orange Shirt Day at Campbell's school. She was not ready for me to take her picture that early in the morning though. Also, here's another picture of her cute new boots!
