Strong and spirited. You're no one's girly girl; actually you are very determined person with a strong sense of self. Never let go of that! The only thing that equals your sense of self is your family, but the traditions of society can always be bent to protect something or someone you love.


Which Disney Princess Are You?
I thought this was just too cute to pass up. I am a total princess gal.

Called to Serve


Just before Zachary opened his mission call. Funny story why we are all wet, I will explain below.


Zachary Campbell you are called to serve in the Arizona Tempe mission. Reporting to the MTC on Sept. 17th.


He was so excited he just kept looking at his call and not at me.

Thursday June 12th will be remembered forever in the Campbell household. Not only that Zachary received his call but how we had to get it to him. Zachary is working at a local Boy Scout Camp this summer. It is about 1 1/2 hours away from where we live. We all decided to pile up the car and take the whole family to the camp. We did not call Zachary ahead we decided to surprise him. We did call his friend and tell him that we were coming so that we knew that he wasn't working.
When we went to the camp we parked and took a long trek to the office. Then as Boyd walked in to ask where Zachary was staying they thought he was there to camp. The guy made a comment how our little family could be a little church youth group. I forgot just how much our family looks like a Boy Scout Troop. A scout leader finally directed us to where Zachary was staying. It was about 1/4 mile walk and then when we got there we couldn't find him. Some of the staff members said that he had got hurt and was in the nurses station. The nurses station was back where we started from right by the office. So we hiked all the way back and walked into the nurses station to find out it wasn't our Zachary but a different Zachary. Then we started back the long hike again to his camp spot. When we started walking back it was down-pouring rain. It couldn't have been worse timing. It was almost comical. I had my sandals on which wasn't a good idea and then I had his call in my hand which was getting soaked. I tried to cover it with clothing. Samuel and I were picked up by somebody in a golf cart who took us to shelter. By then my whole family was seperated. Samuel and I stood under a pavillion not knowing where any of my family was at the time. I knew they had all run for safety but wasn't sure where they were. I saw Alex and Nate standing at a cabin close by. We waited under the shelter until the rain passed. For me it seemed like an eternity because I just wanted to find my son, Zachary. Finally Alex motioned to me that he had found Zachary. Samuel and I ran to find him and we gathered under the picnic table to take our picture just before Zachary got his mission call. That is why we all look so wet. It was neat to have Alex there with us too. He was leaving the next morning to go to Philmont Boy Scout Camp for two weeks. I am so glad that we were there all together as a family. Because it is a night we will never forget as a family.

High School Graduation



It has been a week since graduation and I can't believe it. Time does go by so fast. My Mom and Dad got to come out to see them graduate and that was such a treat. My Dad is a photographer so all of these wonderful photos were by him. I wanted to post all 200 of the graduation pictures but I just didn't have enough room. Also he took some family pictures that I will be posting later. But the pictures on the side are taken by my Dad. It was great having a personal photographer next to me all weekend long.
The graduation was awesome. It was hot that day but it had a nice breeze that made it a little bit better. Gradaution started at 10:30 and ended just when it got really hot. The speakers were great and conveyed messages that were sweet and to the point. My boys gradauted with Distingushed Honors, Nate was 16 and Zachary 23 in their graduating class of about 250. I am so proud of them. Congrats Zac and Nate.

Some highlights of last week..

I just thought I would post some highlights of what I was doing last week.


Alex graduated from Seagul graduation (gifted and talented program). It goes up until 8th grade.

Zachary and Nate graduated from seminary. This is their seminary teacher Sister King. She has been there seminary teacher for four years. They really don't know any other seminary teacher. I am so proud of them. I told them I grew up in Utah where Seminary was release time and I don't know if I could have done early morning seminary. Good job boys. No more early morning seminary! Now we have Alex starting next year.

8th grade graduation for Alex Campbell. Next year he will be in High School. Lugoff-Elgin High School watch out.
