Spring 2013

Within a minute I would step on a rusty nail. 

Easter!

January 2013

So Troy loves trains, but he has a little left to learn about them. Rule #1:  Don't break into a sprint on a moving train. 

Look up "Dad, Second Year" in the dictionary and this is the picture you'll see.  Definition: exasperated.

This is Troy's favorite hiding spot. It is a great spot. Unfortunately for Troy, this is also his only hiding spot, so he's pretty easy to find.

In January Cristy decided to help out the Mississippi Campbells when little baby Carter was born. Apparently four kids is hard to handle when you're in the hospital?

This face simply says, "I'm judging you."

Troy has great fine motor skills. Heart surgeon in the making?  He's making a good run for model otherwise.

The Mississippi Campbells kids are bright, but apparently they  just realized their mother was pregnant. Oh well. Some things you just can't teach I guess.

Some people believe...

...others really believe...

...and some people just know. Do or do not. There is no try.

Gatlinburg 2012

Damon Smile. Ready -- go. 

We had too many people over to all sit at the table at the same time. But we made it work!

Some men can handle their pizza. Some can't.

This is what runners are for, right?

We had plenty of crafty activities to keep the kids happy, including painting. 

Some people were very detailed. 

Some weren't. 

Sleep happens. 

When you have a lot of people you need a lot of groceries. Fact. This was about half of what was purchased. 

Never try and take another man's cheetos. 

Gingerbread Goldfish houses were the best. So fun for everyone, including the adults. 

Another fact: we forced Darren to cook so much he had to stand on tablemats for comfort. 

Troy was gunning for favorite grandson. He believes he won.
