Lulu is Here!

We want to welcome our Little Lulu to the world. She came earlier than we thought she would, we had a scheduled C-section for today August 18Th at 7:45am but Saturday morning at 2:30 when i was sleeping my water broke, so we rushed in the hospital to have a C-section early. We were excited and we had to wait five hours before they would do the C-section so we tried to sleep while in the hospital but we just couldn't. Finally the time came for her to come, I like to introduce
Olivia Suzette Campbell!
She is so cute and perfect in every way!

The Happy Family!




A proud Mommy and cute sleeping Lulu! She is so perfect and I love her so much!


Auntie Jess snuggling with Lulu in the Hospital! Jess came to see us in the hospital everyday, it was fun having her come see us! She sure loves Lulu and Lulu loves her!


She is so sweet!





A Proud Daddy with Lulu! He is so good with her, he changed all of her diapers while we were in the hospital he kept track of how many that was 27 diapers, he is a pro at changing diapers now and so good at it! He loves her so much that the first two days we were in the hospital I didn't feel very good at all so he had Lulu all to himself and he loved every minute of it! So when I was feeling better on that third day in the hospital he had to share her with me and that was hard for him because he enjoyed just having her all to himself! But he is the best dad and I can just see the love he has for her!

Cody changing Lulu's diaper he does a great job!

My mom made it into town the day we were leaving the hospital she had planned to come to Utah the day before my planned C-section but since Lulu decided to come early my mom made it just in time to leave the hospital and start the adventure at home on our own, away from the hospital help and comfort!


Here Lulu is ready to go home and leave the hospital!


Lulu you make us so happy and we are glad to have you in our family, what a wonderful baby you are! So perfect and wonderful!

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!
