Beach Ball

While I was in Oregon my sister Angie painted my belly as a beach ball. She did such a good job. Here is a picture of little lulu all painted.

Guptill Family Reunion!

Last weekend we had our Guptill Family Reunion here in Oregon City. Thursday was the first day of our Guptill fun we went rolling skating, it was a lot of fun we had the rink to ourselves! Here is a picture of Karlee with her teeny tiny skates on it was the cutest thing ever I didn't know they made skates that small. She didn't last to long because it was to hard for her to even stand up with out her skates going everywhere, but it was fun while it lasted!

My mom went skating and she looked like a pro out there on the floor!

Kelsie is suppose to be sad in this picture, she tried to skate bu it was to hard and not that much fun for her so she only lasted a short time. And I sat this activity out because of little lulu I really thought about trying it out but when it came time to get the skates on I chose not to.

Even Grandma got some skates on and tried it out for a minute, she looked like a pro too.

After skating my sisters had put together a Guptill Amazing Race, around Oregon City and everyone said how much fun they had while doing it. Good job Angie and Serena on putting that together!
On Friday we drove to the beach and of course we had to start the beach out right by going to the Tillamook Cheese Factory for a tour and some yummy Tillamook Ice Cream it was just so good! Jaron and I enjoying our ice cream!

After everyone had their fill of ice cream we all headed to Seaside to hang out on the beach and have a fire to roast Hot Dogs and for dessert we had smores! Here is Julie working on roasting her hot dog!

Here Tyler is with his giant roasted marshmallow, it looks so good he can't wait to take a bite! Angie found these giant marshmallow's to roast and they were so much fun and so big!

On Saturday we started the day off by picking yummy raspberries! Here Jaron and Kelsie are hard at work trying to feel their buckets up!

After picking berries we went back to grandmas to go down the giant water slide which I couldn't get pictures of because I couldn't find my camera. But the kids had so much fun going down that! We also had wadding pools for the little kids and water balloons to have fun with.

After all the water fun we had a western themed BBQ for dinner, we ate lots of food, the kids played games, and we even had square dancing! It was a night of fun!
We also celebrated grandmas birthday here she is blowing out the candles on her cake!

It was such a fun family reunion and thank you for everyone that help put it together I know it was a lot of work and thank you for everyone that came it was so nice to see everyone together!

Can you Believe it!

I bet you never thought I could do something like this, becauseI didn't! For my baby shower my cousin Lisa who is very talented made Lulu a pair of cute Leggings, I was so excited because I wanted to buy Lulu a pair and now I don't have to. Well Lisa was telling my sister Angie how easy they were to make so today we were at Target and saw some cute socks and decided to take the challenge on. And for you that know me would know that I'm not one to do anything crafty or anything related to sewing, it's just not my thing, I'm not good at it and I just don't have the patience for things like that. So I was really worried what the outcome would look like or if I would even finish it once I have started. Well I did it I started and finished them and they actually turned out cute and I can't wait for Lulu to come so that she can wear them and I can say that I made those.

Thanks Lisa and Angie!

Catch Up Time!

So once again I'm behind on my blogging so I have a few things to catch up on.

My sisters and mom put on a shower for me a couple weeks ago and it was a bird theme. It was super cute they put a lot of work into. My sister Angie loves to throw parties so she was in heaven while playing my shower. Here are the cute and yummy cupcakes! We also had a yummy fruit salad, Chicken salad sandwiches, veggie tray, chips, and some yummy strawberry lemonade.

Here is my favorite decoration, Angie did such a cute job on making this sign. I meant to get more pictures but I got to busy visiting with all the people. But it was a great shower, Thanks Serena, Mom and Angie for all the time and hard work you put into it.

This is on the 4Th of July we had a BBQ and then we played some games until it got dark enough for the fireworks to start. Here is my dad and Karlee she loves her dad2 as she calls him.

Here are all the kids sitting by Ma2 watching all the amazing fireworks!

We took the kids swimming at the pool and they were all so excited to wear their new goggles!

Here is Karlee with her goggles too! They didn't to well to keep the water out of her eyes but they sure where cute!

This last weekend we had our Ellison family reunion in Wenatchee, Washington. We had so much fun, we did so many fun things. Everyone got these cute t-shirts to wear. On Thursday we went kayaking and then we went on a hike. On Friday some of us went rafting while the rest of us went to this German town Called Leavenworth to walk around some shops. On Saturday we went boating. We had so much fun we were busy every minute of everyday we were there.

Here is a picture of everyone that made it.

Then to end our fun adventures until I get back on here with our new adventures, It was my Grandmas birthday on Monday so we went over to surprise her with some flowers and to sing happy birthday to her. What a cute grandma! Happy Birthday Grandma!

Birthdays and Berries

I haven't blogged since I have been in Oregon so I have some catching up to do. First we had Kelsie's birthday she turned the big 5 and I was babysitting the Kenner kids on her big day so I was in charge to make it special for her. We went to the park to play, then we went to Chucki E. Cheeses for dinner and games and then we came home to sing happy birthday eat lots of cake and ice cream and open up presents. She says that she had a good birthday and I hope so since I was the one in charge.

When Angie and Kyle got back into town from packing up their house and moving we went and picked strawberries with the kids it was a lot of fun. Here is Karlee before she got strawberry juice all over her face from sneaking little tastes when we weren't looking. She was so funny she would pick any berry that she saw weather it was red or green so after we had told her a couple of times not to pick the green ones I think she gave up and just decided that it would be easier just to pick berries from our buckets and stick them in hers it was pretty funny and cute. She is a cleaver one.

On Saturday was my sister Angie's birthday she decided that she wanted to go to the beach so we went and watched the Tillamook parade and while we were waiting for the parade to start the kids found this cool cow bench to sit on.

After the parade we headed down to the beach we went to Oceanside and It was the perfect day. The sun was shining it wasn't to windy and it was warm. Here is Karlee she was so funny she was playing in the sand and it would stick to her hands. She didn't like that she wanted it off so she decided to lick her hand to get the sand off, but once she did that she didn't like it in her mouth so she spit it out, it was pretty funny to watch her she is a cutie.

Here is a picture of me on the beach showing how big I am getting and that I'm 32 weeks along! It's not the best picture.

Here is the birthday girl she turned 35 years old. I hope you had a good birthday it sure was fun! Happy Birthday Angie!

On Sunday we celebrated both Angie's and my dad's Birthday with cake and ice cream. Here is my dad getting ready to blow out his candles. I wasn't prepared when it was Angie's turn to blow her candles out so I didn't get any pictures of her.

On Monday it was my dad's birthday, we went out to dinner at Macaroni Grill one of my dad's favorites places to eat. Happy Birthday Dad! I hope it was a good one for you!

Happy 30th Birthday Cody!

Cody is turning the big 30 this year. His birthday is on Friday and I'm in Oregon so we celebrated his birthday early. Last Tuesday we had some of our friends from the MBA program over for cake and ice cream and games. Cody didn't know that we were going to have cake and ice cream he thought they were coming over to play games. I'm so glad all of them were able to come over and celebrate with us for Cody's big birthday!

Here is everyone that came over to hang out. Cody was so cute on the couch with the girls he put them both to sleep. We sure are going to miss them when they move to Texas in August!


On Thursday night I took Cody out for his birthday and we started the night out at one of Cody's favorite places to eat, Happy Sumo, Cody loves sushi and I don't but I thought for his birthday we would go there and he loved it he was in heaven. Then we went mini golfing Cody loves to Golf and so I thought we would go mini golfing to put our skills to the test. Here Cody is getting ready for his first swing of the night.

After a intense game of mini golf we ended the night with a boba drink from this little restaurant down the street this drink is so good and if I could I would have one everyday! It is like a smoothie and then at the bottom it has these chewy balls. I know it sounds kind of funky but it is really yummy!

This is the little restaurant where you can go to get one of these yummy drinks!

Surprise! Surprise!

Saturday night Cody took me to the Pizza Factory for dinner when we arrived I was surprised to see all the Campbell's there with Balloons and presents, I was so confused on why they were there and why they said Surprise! It was a baby shower for Lulu, I didn't have a clue they were planning this. I want to thank all of them it was such a nice surprise and they do to much they are so kind to me and I can't thank them enough. I'm sad that I didn't get a picture of everyone that was there. Here is a list of everyone: Dan, Peggy, Granny, Gramps, Danielle, Kim, Benton, Ryan, Jess, and Cody! Thanks again guys!

After the Pizza Factory we went to my favorite Frozen Yogurt place Yo Zone and I got my favorite at the moment vanilla and lots of Oreo's, I love Oreo Blizzards from DQ so at Yo Zone I'm in control of how much yogurt and how much Oreo's it is the best thing ever! Jess and Ryan are in the back they wanted to be in the picture to. And I'm not to sure where my neck went but I guess when I get excited it likes to hide!

After Yo Zone Cody and I went finished the night off at the Dollar Movie to see the movie Ghost Writer, it was OK but I'm glad that we didn't pay more than two dollars to see it!

On Sunday we went over to Cody's parents house to say good bye to Cody's sisters, Kim and Danielle that were in town for the weekend. And they surprised him with a happy birthday lunch and once again he was surprised those Campbells are good at surprises!

Cody's birthday isn't until the 18Th but since everyone was here they wanted to celebrate his birthday. We also celebrated Fathers day and I didn't even get a picture of Dan. I'm not doing a good job at taken pictures. Cody is turning the big 30 this year and I'm so excited for him for all the things that are happening. Happy Birthday Cody!
