We’ve had such a rainy spring that the sunshine was pure delight. This is one of my favorite parks-there are no toys, only trees, a creek + hiking trails. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It feels like such a magical place. We usually have it to ourselves and I feel overcome with nostalgia because it reminds me of playing in the creek at my grandma + grandpas house when I was a child. To see the delight that it brings to my kids, to have the cold creek water tickle their toes brings me so much joy. In a world with so much noise, screens etc. it’s nice to unplug. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cheers to summer, sunshine + mini adventures. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A lot has happened since then. Preston just turned 10, my sweet Gracie Goose is 6, going on 16 and we've added Bear who will be 4 in 4 months to our family. Pippa our sweet chihuahua died and we have five cats. Yikes! We had some severe hardships and moments of great joy nevertheless we have landed right where we are supposed to be, our family of five. I miss blogging/journaling. Last week Preston and I spent a good 2 hours reading this little blog and looking at pictures and videos and enjoying all the 'Preston-isms'. I would like to start this little blog back up, if I can remember how. Make a virtual memory book for our family, to remember the ins and outs of our daily life.nesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00625174969396938531noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694771828548398784.post-81973361242062580922013-10-12T18:29:00.001-07:002013-10-12T18:29:12.689-07:00Apple picking @ Greenbluff<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was a gorgeous day-not too hot, not too cold. The apples couldn't be any fresher, plucked right from the tree. The cider was still warm from the pasteurizer. The kids ran and climbed trees. It was a good day!</div>

My baby turned 2. It was a really fun day, very relaxed. We started out by going to see a movie at the Garland theater, Ice Age 4. It was Graces first movie theater experience. She did pretty good. We had to get up and walk in the aisle a few times when she got bored but I figured that was to be expected. We had a party that night with family and neighbors/friends. We filled the trampoline with balloons and had BBQ. It just so happened that Graces friends have big brothers that are Prestons friends so one it got dark we had a outdoor movie for the boys. They watched ET for the first time. Preston kept calling it AT AT. ;)<br />
<br />
I wanted to write a little bit about Grace at 2.<br />
<br />
She is potty training-we are out of diapers except at night and naps.<br />
She is quite the singer, her favorite songs are Twinkle Twinkle and Jesus Loves Me<br />
Her favorite friends are Callen, Vivi and Sadie<br />
She LOVES babies. You will find them all undressed. Not sure what that's about!<br />
She loves Dora. I mean LOVES Dora..to the point where I'm wondering if there is a Dora detox center??<br />
She is the perfect mix of girly girl and tom boy. She can be found fighting with a light saber while holding a baby. Future super mom maybe?<br />
She is talking soooo very much.<br />
Shes just pretty much amazing. Yup. She is. It's hard to think about how to sum her up.<br />
<br />
Pretty much none of the pictures that I have of this day turned out good-we were just too busy making memories to capture them! You know what I mean?<br />

We were blessed with good weather! This year we had the cabin to ourselves as we were the only Campbells there. Even though we got back 5 days ago, I'm still trying to catch up on all the laundry etc. It's exhausting going on vacation. It would have been less work to stay home-but then we would have missed out on all this beauty!<br />

I feel like I have so much that I want/need to cram into this last month of Summer. Camping trips, spending time at the cabin, parks, swimming, BBQ's with friends and family.<br />
<br />
August is when my baby turns 2-it is Prestons last month before he starts kindergarten. August is Summers Encore. August is when the dog days of summer happen, when rich memories are made because it is so treasured-that last month before the start of school and Fall. August is revered. August is held onto tightly. August and I have a tangible relationship. August is fields of golden wheat, yellow with hot sun and a blue backdrop of sky. The golden wheat on rolling hills like the golden waves of Perelandra. I'm pretty sure time moves a little slower in August. <a href="http://zondervan.typepad.com/zondervan/2012/02/make-time-excerpt-ann-voskamp.html">(Because the only way to make time stand still is to be present in that very moment)</a> Oh, how i love you August. August is preparation for the New Year (my new year has always been September rather than January) It seems like the line between August and September is thicker than the line between December and January. August is a bittersweet ending as September makes her appearance. Slowly the flip flops get traded out socks and shoes. Swimsuits are tucked away until next year. The nights become cooler and hoodies and sweaters are unpacked. The garden is harvested and dirt bare. Soon I will have to wrap up in a quilt as I drink my coffee on the deck and then not at all. These are the days that I wish I could bottle up the golden glorious sunshine and in the thick of winters dull bleak days-just let a little bit out. August you are elegant the way you gracefully bow out to September, knowing that Fall must come. <br />
<br />
This year I am excited and a little sad that Preston is starting Kindergarten. Sad for the obvious reasons. It means my baby is growing up! I have treasured these last 5 years at home with no schedule, do what we want when we want, never tied. I'm excited because it means new things are in store for my Preston-new friends for one! I know that he will be stretched beyond his comfort zone and that it will be uncomfortable and hard at first but it will be good for him. He might not know it, but he is ready for more.<br />
<br />
Oh August....<br />

I have a full fledged very busy, getting into everything, ever so curious about everything almost two year old. I am exhausted. I forget how tiresome this stage is. And it isn't necessarily naughty per se but just being (almost, like in 22 days!) two. These are the days that my house rarely gets clean. The laundry is piled up. We eat a lot of fast and easy meals. The dog escapes like 20 times a day, and even though it's just down to the corner and she always comes back, my neighbors feel the need to ring the doorbell and tell me, again. They probably think we're the worst dog owners. They are probably right.<br />
Yesterday I really felt like it was a one step forward five steps back kind of a day. Every time I turned my back Grace was either squeezing the toothpaste out of the tube or unrolling all of the toilet paper, or dumping out the dog and cat food, you know that kind of stuff. And to top it all off no one wants to sleep in their own beds or through the night anymore?!? I'm not sure what that is all about!<br />
<br />
This morning I was looking for my wallet for quite some time. Whenever we can't find something we have learned to ask the Master at hiding things aka Preston. If you can't find your keys ask Preston, he will look at you and answer, "yeah they're in the vent." Or Preston have you seen Graces Dora movie? "Yeah, it's right here." As he pulls it out from way under the couch. Ok, back to the wallet. I ask Preston, Have you seen my wallet? "Yes!" he says, "You know the cupboards in the hallway, well look way in the back of one of those drawers, and maybe under something too, but your going to have to look hard." Trying to remain calm I look hard, way in the back and under things in all 4 drawers to no avail. So I make him look. He keeps saying things like, "This is incredibly odd, I'm sure I put it here!" Turns out it was my old wallet which wasn't even in there anymore. It somehow made it's way to the room across the hall.<br />
<br />
So the purpose of writing this isn't to say look at me, and the "silly" things my kids do. My life is so hard. Because it's not. If you have kids I know you go through the same things. But to remind myself this is a season with my littles. They wont' do these things which can be annoying and frustrating all the time. And although sometimes the days are hard and long, <i><b>ohhh how I love them</b>. </i>I love this time with them. I cherish these days that they are still at home, that they still want to cuddle and have my hold them. They don't think I'm uncool or are embarrassed to be seen with me. I know where they are at night, in the safety of these walls. And Preston....he is so funny. As Dave walked in the door from work last night Preston looks up at him and says, "Greetings exalted one." like it was a normal way to greet daddy when he gets home from work. Apparently it's a line from star wars -It's how Han Solo greets Jaba the Hutt. Who knew. And my Gracie, I was just telling Dave after I put her to bed last night how I just look at her little face, she is so beautiful! Her perfect dark skin and long eyelashes and sweaty curly hair. Those perfectly shaped kissable lips-I just I just love her. I love them both. So much!<br />
<br />
So I guess this is a reminder to myself. To change my way of thinking when the days are hard and long and when the nights are sleepless. To be thankful for these two blessings and their God given personalities. They are children, so I shouldn't be surprised when they act like it! When Preston was a newborn babe and I would get up at all hours of the night to nurse him-I was sooo tired I would repeat Phillipians 4:16 over and over and over with my eyes closed, "I can do <u style="font-weight: bold;">all things </u>through Christ who gives my strength." I had to remind myself that this verse says all things, not some things, or things that I like, or the fun comfortable things but ALL things-not by my strength but by His.<br />
<br />
So I am going to go spend some time in prayer asking for Gods strength to get me through this busy day and then I am going to go look for my wallet some more. <br />

We drove with going to park in mind, but decided to stop at the river instead. I'm so glad we did! The kids loved it. Preston kept saying over and over again, "I'm in the river, I'm in the river! I can't believe I'm in a river!" Sometimes I need to remind myself to look at the world through the eyes of a child. There is wonder in seeing something for the first time! I don't know how many times we've driven past this part of the river and never stopped. To me, it's nothing spectacular, but to their little eyes it was an adventure, a place to explore. I love how they see the world-If only we could all see the world through the eyes of a child!<br />

Making the most of our time, being intentional how we spend time together as a family. Our first summer adventure wasn't a big one in the sense that we didn't travel far from home, it didn't cost any money-but we loved it just the same, the kids had a blast. Preston was adamant that he did NOT want to go to Manito Park. He thought Grace would fall in the pond. I call it first born syndrome. He is a worrier that one! But those anxious feelings didn't last long, as soon as we drove by it he begged us to stop and we happily complied.<br />
<br />
We are all homebodies-we can easily get stuck in the rut of staying at home. Sometimes we have to make ourselves get out and we drive with no destination in mind. We just get out. It was so awesome to see the kids faces light up when soaked in the surroundings and beauty of the park. Instant smiles appeared on their little faces and then they ran. They ran and ran and ran. It was so apparent to Dave and I, that it is so important, no crucial to be able to take in nature, not just our back yard but something bigger. We are so lucky to live the northwest and have so much beauty within our reach. <br />
<br />
If I had to pick a favorite area of Manito Park, I think it would be Duncan Gardens. I feel like I'm instantly swept away to a different time. The Japanese Gardens would get second. Really, I just love it all.<br />

You would never know it though by all the rain we got this week. The kids and I enjoyed this rainy week though. We were all sick with colds so we stayed inside all week and watched movies, read books and did a lot of cuddling. <br />
<br />
The big highlight of the week is that Preston is officially registered for Kindergarten. I can't believe my little baby boy is 5. I remember when he was just a little babe and seeing my sisters boys and thinking how far off it would be before this tiny little boy would be as big as they. We are homeschooling, but he will also do a enrichment classes at a local school 2 days a week. While Dave was laid off this Spring we looked at all of our options trying to find the best fit for our family. It was a hard decision because what it boils down to is that Spokane has amazing programs for homeschooling families! There are so many options it was a little overwhelming, we had to find the best fit for Preston for this year from a handful of wonderful programs.<br />
<br />
Speaking of growing up, my Grace continues to do just that! It seems one day she decided she didn't want to sleep in her crib, she didn't want to drink from a cup with a lid--she wants to do all the things her big brother does. I looked at Dave one night and asked, "When did all this happen, when did she decided to be such a big girl?" So the crib came down and some bunk beds went up. (She still has to use a sippy cup, much to her dismay.) The kids LOVE the bunkbeds! I was lucky enough to find them at a thrift store on half off day!<br />
<br />
This past week marked Daves 3rd week back at work since he's been laid off for the past 7 months. Big sigh of relief, phew. It couldn't have come at a better time as he just received his last unemployment check the week before he went back! Hooray for Gods perfect timing!<br />
<br />
Here are some pics from the last couple of weeks. Preston rarely poses for the camera so there are a lot of Grace, who loves to get her picture taken!<br />

Digging the hole for the trampoline turned out to be too huge a project to tackle alone, so after a couple of days of going at it with a shovel he called in a mini-excavator. </div>

Here's the hole. The first day the excavator dug it I hadn't seen Preston in a while. I eventually found him in the hole. It's quite a popular spot. He was upset today because he didn't want us to put the trampoline back up. He just wanted the hole.</div>

Last week was pretty rainy and ugly. When I say ugly, I mean our attitudes. I don't know what it was but just about every one of us was in a cranky mood! We tried to get out and do some fun things. One night we went to Franks Diner for dinner. That was really fun, it's an old train car converted into a diner. Luckily, the really noisy family with naughty, whiny kids and a mom that was constantly yelling in a loud voice for her kids to get out of the aisle made our kids look really good!<br />
Saturday we bought a trampoline! Something my mom thought I would NEVER do! (due to a horrible broken leg, growth plate, torn cartilege etc.when I was 14 years old and fell off of the neighbors trampoline) but....we are constantly looking for ways that Preston can get energy out and alas, this seemed like a good idea. Time will tell. We have fun on it-he said his favorite thing is to jump with me by ourselves and that he wants just the two of us to jump at least once every day:)<br />
We've been doing a lot of work in our backyard, getting prepared to spend a lot of time in it this summer! Yesterday we sold the chicken coop, now there is no evidence that we ever had any blasted chickens. I'm getting excited to start gardening and making everything look pretty! Unfortunately, the yard never gets that much time or money spent on it, years past it always seems like there has been more pressing areas to put our time and money into.<br />
Lets see, what else have we been doing?<br />
Dave should hear from his work any day about being re-hired. They have quite a few jobs coming up. He is so ready to go back to work! Last week at dinner, it was quite and Preston blurts out of the blue, "So Dad, are you like ever going to get a job again or what?" We just looked at each other and started laughing.<br />
I've also been spending a lot of time trying to figure out what next year is going to look like for Preston. We know that we will homeschool, but we want to do some sort of homeschool program (one day a week) where he goes to class. We have so many option here in Spokane so we really just need to go and visit some to see what we like. <br />

Yesterday we celebrated my nephews 10th birthday and today we celebrated Easter and the weather has been phenomenal so needless to say, we've spent a lot of time outdoors celebrating in the glorious sun!<br />
<br />
We've kind of had a lot going on at our house this past week. We've been playing 'musical bedrooms.' Dave finished a room downstairs that we moved the kids into. We turned Graces old room in the playroom and Prestons old room into a storage room/work space for me. I have lots of organizing to do this week! I think the kids are finally getting settled into their rooms, Grace seems a little restless and Preston never does well with change but I think he's finally OK now. The first night was pretty brutal, none of us got much sleep. It's peace of mind for Dave and I to have us all on the same floor though, so it's worth it.<br />
<br />
Yesterday we dyed eggs and today we went to my Mom and Dads after church. Here are some pics of our Easter.<br />

Grace got to be the 'observer' she's so crazy messy, there was no way I was letting her near the food coloring. I'm usually not 'that mom' but I knew she would just smash all the eggs and spill the liquid. That's just Grace, or maybe it's just being one;)</div>
