Campbell happenings in April/May

BTW~ I wrote this early May & then never posted it.

Ash, I did it! Okay so I'll do a quick catch up of the last month. Lots of fun and exciting things took place...Tate turned 5, Tayah and I got the rare privilege of testing together for our next belt (orange...we're movin right along), before that the kids and I went with friends to watch the filming of an ABC TV show of High School Muscial. The Children's Musical Theatre of Oregon performed this musical last year, and ABC asked if they could gather the cast and be ready in 3 days for them to come film. It was great and fun to be a part of something special in our community. Tayah loved it because she and her best friends, McKenna and Gracie, (who absolutely LOVE HSM) came and they were asked to come down front be in the audience scences. Tayah is so excited because she was told she'll be on TV. Who knows, it could be her movie debut! When she gets older she wants to try out for on of the CMTO productions. Can't you just see Tay acting? I can! My beautiful precious "drama queen". She's too much!

Now you can see what we've been up to lately.

Tate's 5th B-day

It's hard to believe Tate is 5 years old. We had a great time celebrating his special day. On May 1st, Tate invited his buddies from school to come to ABK (a sports center we belong to) for pizza, cupcakes(thanks Amanda) and open gym. They loved running around playing hard. I think their favorite was "the Pit." Running, jumping, & flipping it a pit full of soft sponge-like things. Tate really enjoyed hanging with his friends, and mom enjoyed the easy entertainment.





On Sat. we did a family/friend party at our house. It was a NINJA PARTY! Which was great, since we're all into the martial art thing. For the first time EVER, I actually was ready before the guests arrived. That NEVER NEVER happens. It felt wonderful. I can't believe how nice it is to have things go smoothly. That's rare to procrastinators like myself. Anyways, random tangent... I think the everyone had a great time. I know I did. Plus, afterwards we had my niece and nephew ... and Shauna and the kids all joined us for a slumber party. It was great. 9kids and Shauna and I. Memories. Gotta love 'em.





All in all Tate loved his birth-days. Fun times
