Fabulous Fall

Hi all you great Campbell Chicks. Hope all of you are well and loving life. I had Al here for four days and I forget what a pest he can be, but I love it. I'm headed to Jen and Jess's for a week on 10-7. I can't wait to see them, wish I could afford to get to the Osolu's. I'm driving alone so wish me luck. Work has been crazy, I working three part time jobs and I just got called to be in the RS as 2nd counselor. I hate to give up my great primary class and the drama calling in the stake-but we go where needed and I guess for now that's where I need to be. Blake has been here for two days-he looks good and is staying busy. He leaves tonight. I can't wait for the Halloween party. I'll be the one dressed up---haha. Love to all, Vic

YEAH!!!! I got into size 8 petite pants two weeks ago and I'm five lbs. from goal. It feels wonderful.

HAPPY FALL EVERYONE-TELL THE GUYS HI FROM THE OLD LADY.

Hello

Okay it has been awhile since I have posted anything because to tell you the truth life has been so dang crazy here. I can't believe I have a few minutes to actually sit down and type this Life is good for the Howlett Family. Sam and I had a wonderful day last friday celebrating our 24th anniversary. We went to the temple, out for breakfast, went to the scrapbook convention for one and a half hours (while Sam went to his woodshop store). Just happened to see the wild and crazy Robertson girls there. Let me tell you if you want to fight the crowds and get the good deals take Charlyn with you. I have no idea what I am going to do with all those flowers we got Char. Then we went to the movie, a wedding reception and then out to eat for dinner. Heather and Dennis had a great time in Seattle. I think they will end up moving there someday. They brought us back some fun stuff. Justin as most of you know isn't getting married. He started his new job a 1-800-contact and loves it. He is planning on joining the Army National Guard in January so he can get his schooling done. Sydney is doing good. She seems happy and is safe and that is okay for me right now. We talk almost every other night. Spencer is looking for a new job and playing lots of soccer. Families are the greatest! Love you all. Take care and be happy. Love, Shawna

Oh Cricket we finally got to meet the teddy bear. He seems really nice just a little on the shy side. Tessy seems happy.

Back To School

First day of school! Kaobe 4th grade, Ada 2nd grade, Indy preschool, Leiah wishing she could go too!! I have to say I was sad for a few minutes until I walked in the house and heard the silence!! We had a great summer, but as always life goes on. It's so fun to come and read all the blogs-I love being able to see pics of everyone and get updates-it makes me feel much closer to you all!! We are all doing great-I started school back up last week and have already started in the hospital. I'm doing my clinical hours in Labor and Delivery and am loving the little babies. Obeta just got home from Florida-he's been there all week at a conference. We are getting ready for Ada's 7th birthday in two weeks-she wants to ride horses for her party- I wish we could take her to Aunt Mary's!

Leiah is now successfully potty trained with all credit going to her-she hasn't needed any prompting whatsoever!Yeehaw! I can't believe I've been changing diaper tushes for nine years-sweet relief! Indrya gets to ride the bus home with Kaobe and Ada and is feeling very much like a big girl. She's loving preschool! I'm loving my two hour break while everyone's gone and Leiah's napping!

Char-thanks for all the old pics, it's crazy seeing grandpa's store. My most prominent memory is definitely the gatorade gum! Love you all, hope everyone is having a fantastic fall!

Love, Amanda

Grandpa Campbells Powder Horn Store

Hey, Hey

I just wanted to stop by and say that I totally check this blog every day (even now, as I should be studying) just to see how everyone is doing!! It is so great to keep in touch with you all!!

We are doing well! School has started back up, and so our free time has gone out the window, but it is going good! Nate is doing on-line classes through the University of Phoenix and is doing great with them! I am a back pack lugging 20 something year old (the oldest one in at least 2 of my classes - yay me) student that goes to campus EVERY single day! I really do enjoy it though!

Anyway, I've got a little more studying to do before I can call it quits tonight, I just wanted to say "hey" and let you know that I love you! The Campbell Chicks totally rock!! Keep it up!

Love,
Clarissa

Truck stop showers aren't bad, we ate good and took lots pf pictures-I'll post some later. I also know every rest area between Idaho, Montana, No and So Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Wyoming....yeah I had to stop alot to run and pee. It's good to be home and feel the comfort of our bed. Hope all of you are ok....we need another girlie weekend. Love ya, Vic

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!

HOLY COW I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE TRYING TO POST ON THIS CRAZY BLOG!! I AM STILL NOT SURE WHAT I DID TO BE ABLE TO POST, BUT HOPEFULLY IT WILL STILL WORK NEXT TIME. WELL A LITTLE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR LIVES, MARTY IS STILL GOING BACK AND FORTH TO UTAH TO WORK, WE DECIDED NOT TO SELL OUR HOUSE, I DON'T REALLY WANT TO MESS UP MY KIDS LIVES ANYMORE THAN I HAVE, SO WE WILL BE STAYING AND GOING BACK AND FORTH TO UTAH FOR WORK. THE PLUS SIDE IS, HE GETS TO BE HOME FOR FOUR WHOLE DAYS, AND WE GET LOTS OF THINGS DONE. WE ARE WORKING HARD ON FIXING UP OUR HOUSE RIGHT NOW, WE ARE PAINTING LOTS AND GETTING THE BASEMENT DONE, A LITTLE ADVICE FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO BUY A HOME, MAKE SURE THE WHOLE HOUSE IS DONE, OR YOU WILL WAIT FOREVER TO GET THE UNFINISHED, FINISHED!!!! THE KIDS ARE DOING GREAT, CHEROKEE IS LOVING LIFE, SHE IS A JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND PLAYS GOALIE ON THE VARSITY TEAM, SHE IS A HOOT TO WATCH, SHE IS VERY AGGRESSIVE AND HAS KNOCKED OUT TWO GIRLS ALREADY THIS SEASON. SHE COMES HOME TIRED AND BRUISED, SHE IS WORKING AT THE LOCAL D.Q. AND LOVES TO MAKE BLIZZARDS. CHEVY IS IN THE 8TH GRADE, HE IS A TYPICAL BOY WHO HATES SCHOOL AND HATES THE FACT THAT HIS MOM CAN GET ON THE COMPUTER TO CHECK ON HIS HOMEWORK AND GRADES AS MUCH AS SHE WANTS!!!! HE IS IN THE PROCESS OF EARNING HIS EAGLE IN SCOUTS AND SHOULD HAVE IT DONE BY NEXT SUMMER, WE HOPE!! CASH IS A HOOT, HE THINKS IT IS SO FUN TO CARRY AROUND BALLOONS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN BLOWN UP AND A LITTLE FACE FAN TO BLOW THEM, HE LOVES TO TEASE ME AND FOLLOWS MARTY AROUND MIMICKING HIM. HE IS GROWING FAST, BUT IS A LITTLE BEHIND ON SPEECH SO WE ARE WORKING WITH HIM. CONTESSA IS LIVING IN UTAH AND TAKING TWO CLASSES ON THE NET, SHE WORKS AT TARGET. SHE HAS A BOYFRIEND FROM OHIO, SO WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I AM BUSY DOING THINGS ON MY HOUSE FOR MY HOUSE AND IN MY HOUSE!! I SEEM TO NEVER HAVE TIME TO DO THE THINGS I WANT TO ANY MORE, LIKE SEW JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO. OH WELL LIFE IS SO FUN!! I WILL TRY TO POST MORE, I LOVE LOOKING AT EVERYONE'S BLOGS, I NEED TO BE INVITED TO A FEW, SO I CAN SEE YOURS, I WILL TRY AND FIND SOME YUMMY CROCK POT RECIPES TO SEND TO YOU ALL, I AM NOT SURE WHO WANTED THEM, BUT I HAVE A FEW GOOD ONES!!! WELL FOR NOW KEEP ON BLOGGING, LOVE YA ALL CRICKET

Hooray for us!!!

Ben LOVES the pic of Becky! It's our new favorite screensaver...j/k Brit-I'm a little nervous that you were doing the SINNING at the temple dedication. I hope that you meant SINGING! What an amazing opportunity!

We finally have some good news. The past two weeks have been TERRIBLE for us. Phil cut his knee with a chain saw, we had to find $4000 to put in a septic tank in order to sell the home, they busted our main waterline while doing so and that ruined our toilet. While driving back from getting a part for the toilet our car overheated and blew a head gasket, leaving me without a vehicle (which was techinically ok since I needed to lose a few pounds anyway), our brakes went out on the van and the next day we had to replace two tires that got shredded on it, the home we were going to rent fell through, and to top it all off the land we had put money down on to buy went into foreclosure and is up for auction in 2 weeks. Just when we thought life couldn't get any worse, NOW WE'RE HAVING KITTENS AGAIN..... UGH!!!

But the good news came today: we were able to sign off our house. It is sold! Yeah! It's the best news and we feel a little more comfortable, thank heavens. Also, I got invited as one of only 5 singers to do backup singing on Jenny Phillips' 2009 CD. Awesome!!!

Audrey
