Hi there!

Just wanted to say hi and sorry for the lack of posts lately...we are pretty bummed around here that Texas did not win the World Series...and we have been busy and going, going, going; especially Daddy who has been traveling all over the past few weeks.

It is hard to believe that in less than a week this angel is going to be 6 months old...yes that's right...I'm not sure where the time has gone, but we have enjoyed every minute of it! She is the BEST part of my day!

Since Daddy was gone most of the weekend, we spent it at Grammy and Grandpa's house! C had a blast and Mommy got some rest :) We love our time there and they love spending time with their grandbaby! (I promise to get pics of C and Grandpa next visit...I seemed to only have the camera out when Grammy was lovin' on Cami)

This next picture cracked me up...since Campbell has become more mobile (rolling around) she is never where I left her even if I turn my back for a second...(she started out on the blanket)!

And enjoy a few more of the girl...she's getting so big...look at this pic of her on her changing pad in her room, she won't fit there much longer :(

Hope you all have a good week! On Sunday we will celebrate Campbell being 1/2 a year old...another post on that to come!!!

GO RANGERS!

So my sweet husband bought World Series tickets for his dad, me, and him. Of course, we went to the game that they lost...boo, but we still had an amazing time and can now say we've been to the World Series! Jacob is a huge Rangers fan, but is also a Cards fan too(boo)! His dad grew up in Missouri, so their whole family are rooting the Cards on...but it's the Rangers' year! I am so pumped after last night! Just 1 more win and they will clench the Championship title which I believe they deserve!

I must say, one of my favorite parts of baseball is how AMERICAN it is! I love the atmosphere and the way they sing God Bless America in the 7th inning stretch! I got chills after the National Anthem was sung and 4 F-16's flew over the ballpark!

I have 2 cousins who play (pitch) baseball in college...and I hope to see them out there one day playing for a World Series title!

Dirk throwing out the first pitch!

And Grammy and Grandpa kept Cami...the cutest little Rangers fan ever!

La La La...

Where do I begin? It has been pretty crazy around here lately. We are missing Daddy a lot lately...and being sick and cranky (both Campbell and myself) just makes it worse. Anyway...enough complaining...we have had a fun few days with Aunt Casey and Uncle Aric visiting, seeing Grammy, Grandpa, Mo, Poppy, Dav, Brandon, and the kids; watching baseball, rolling over - yes!!!, and just hanging out! I'm praying everyone stays well and we have a good couple weeks left before Cam turns 6 months old! Can you believe it's already that time? I CANNOT! Enjoy a few pics...and a couple of sweet videos of C rolling over (it's actually pretty hilarious, she just throws her head over, and lays there for a while before she decides to roll on over)!!!!

Just to make you smile!

I hope you all are having a good week. We are NOT...poor baby is sick AGAIN...and this Momma is tired! But we are hanging in there. I watched this today and it just made me smile and remember that even in this "season" of sickness, I cherish being C's mom to love and take care of her through it all. And I also know that God doesn't give us more than we can handle, right? Well, enjoy this sweet baby and her daddy getting her to giggle! She absolutely melts my heart!

Our love is 5 months old!

Well, another month has flown by and our sweet girl is 5 months old. I have been loving the past few weeks with my girl and know it's only going to get more and more fun! She is busy and happy most of the time! I am truly blessed to be her momma!

Here's what she has been up to lately...

Not sure on height or weight, we get that next month...but she is still in size 2 diapers, size 3 at night! She wears anything from 3-6 months, 6 months, or 6-9/12 months depending on brand.

She still loves bath time and is all over the place when it comes to sleeping...sometimes it's all night, sometimes we get up once a night anytime from 2-4 usually, but I'm not complaining. I love our sweet quiet times, I know it won't be long and they will be gone...

Campbell is still eating cereal...we started oatmeal on her 5 month birthday and she LOVED it. I think it's much better than the rice cereal...I am so excited for her to start real foods next month. I bet she will love it.

C still takes morning naps and is non consistent on her afternoon ones. Sometimes they are 2 hours, sometimes 30 minutes. At daycare, she is only taking short catnaps throughout the day.

She is super content. She goes with the flow and will go just about anywhere I take her with a smile. I get so many compliments on how happy she is.

We have been loving the way she talks and giggles and smiles so much. It is just infectious. She can melt my heart with one grin and make my bad day go away.

She is enjoying her jumper and has figured out how to actually jump in it. It can keep her preoccupied for a pretty long time, thank goodness (especially when I need to get things done)!

She still doesn't really care for a pacifier, but her fingers have been doing the job just fine. She's not a big thumb sucker or sucker period to soothe or calm herself.

Our sweet girl continues to amaze us everyday, and everyday I'm so thankful that God allows me to take care of her and be her mom. I am continually reminded how faithful our Lord is and in her face I see so much hope and joy and peace and love.

We are so proud of you baby girl!

What October means to me...

I will always look at October in a new/different light from now on. I do not associate it with Halloween or even Fall and beautiful weather, I will always look at it as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month (more specifically October 15 is the day we light a candle in honor of our babies). Since June 25, 2010, when our world was forever changed, I want to share my story with whoever will listen, and become a supportive shoulder to cry on for those who need it. This is what God is wanting me to do.

We recently had another loss in our family. I will not go into details, but the amazingly strong woman that this happened to is grieving the loss of her 16 week gestation baby boy...he was stillborn into this world at 2.7 ounces and had all 10 fingers and toes. He is another glory baby in the arms of Jesus. We are so so thankful to know that we will meet our babies again one day.

Here is the button that I display as a face of miscarriage. If you want to support those that you know who have gone through this, please go here and donate in memory of your loss. Of course I donated for our Glory Baby McFarland who is looking down on her little sister and parents and smiling! And now she has a sweet cousin to play with up there in Heaven.

And the best part of my day...my sweet little love...

Pizza Rolls, Yummy!

I found this recipe a while back and have tried it twice now...it is so easy and makes for a yummy weekend lunch idea, especially when you are playing with a baby and don't have much time to sit and eat...just pop one in your mouth and you are good to go!

If any of you know my family, you know we LOVE a good Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza! It has a yellow mustard base, hamburger meat, onions, bacon, and CHEESE! Who wouldn't like that? So I thought that would be perfect to make today for lunch. It turned out so so good. Here's the website I found the recipe from.

Here are a few pics of the yummy goodness!

And ENJOY! We had a great weekend, Grammy and Grandpa kept C last night so Jacob and I could have a date night, and it was so nice! Hope everyone had a great weekend too!
