Melanoma

I'm writing today for two reasons. To inform people that my mom, Joyce Campbell, just found out that she has melanoma skin cancer, (so she doesn't have to) and to ask for your support. If everyone could keep her in your thoughts and prayers, we would greatly appreciate it.

She found out after she had a mole removed and biopsied. She has a consultation on Monday with an oncologist who specializes in melanomas. Hopefully we will know more then.

Melanomas are the worst type of skin cancer. The survival rate for those who have stage I is 85-95%, and stage II drops to 40-85%. We are hoping that we don't have to worry about stage III or IV.

If you would like to contact her, you can email her at cambyinc@yahoo.com

Thanks for your love and support!

My cute little guy and the funny places he gets into.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALLEN!

Kari and Hayden playing out in the cold. I think Hayden looks like a little marshmallow!

Kari playing dress-up at Sam and Julie's house.

We've been unpacking all the boxes we stuck in the basement. I found this. I think I got it a few Christmases ago, and it's called a couch pouch or something like that. Isn't it sweet!

These last few pics are of my new tooth. It was put in with temporary cement so I can still change the color if I need to. I think the tooth is too white, but I'm still getting opinions.

Buck is Soooo Good Lookin'

Buck got glasses!

Buck got new glasses. He's needed them ever since we got married, but never went and got them. He had an old pair from when he was 16. I guess it was about time we forked out the dough. It hasn't been too big a deal because he is nearsighted with astigmatism. We don't know a whole lot about eyesight, he doesn't even know his prescription. Anyway, he can see better and he looks GOOD!

More Halloween

We also went to a Halloween party at Amy's place in Midway. This was the 3rd annual Halloween party up there. It's a blast to catch up with all our friends.

There was a donut eating contest. We had to eat the entire donut off the string and then whistle. I beat all the girls and Buck came in a close second with the guys.

Matt and Amy were seriously "Windblown"

Kyle was Babe Ruth, Heather a hippy, and pirate Charlie

Dani and Paige as 80's Rockers

Buck is an African Safari Guide, I was a Hill billy, Kari was Cinderella, and Hayden was a super ferocious tiger!

Charlie was a pirate, Hayden tiger, and Wesley was a bee.

Here's the whole group of kids. Charlie Shupe, Wesley Sterzer, Carson Castillon, Hayden and Kari Porter

Halloween!

I know Halloween was a while ago, but I am finally getting to it. Halloween night we went to a trunk or treat at Dick's Market, and Kari cried at everything that was even remotely scary. We trick or treated around our neighborhood, then headed up to my mom's for a party.

Hayden, Kari, and Jaden... so cute! Kari was such a big girl to keep those guys from getting away!

Funny pictures from a pot.

Tim was in his mid 30's and Sandi was Goth. Kari had been Cinderella all week, but Halloween day she decided to go as Tinkerbelle.

BJ was a gift from God and Jaden was a bumblebee.


The kids got pretty tuckered out trick or treating. Kari fell asleep mid Kitkat.

Take a good look because I'm getting my crown in 2 days.

Hike with Daddy!

Kari and I went hiking together up in the mountains behind the U of U. It was a good thing we got out before the lousy snow hit us. We had a great time, just the two of us. Enjoy our pics.

Fall Pics

We went to Bear Lake a week or so ago and found this beautiful spot to take pictures. We enjoyed some time with Kari while Hayden slept in the car.

This was one of our favorites, peeking out behind the grass.

Hangin' with dad.

I was hoping I could get Kari to smile at me while the leaves fell around her, but she kept ducking. Still cute as a button.


Hangin' with mom.

I love the pictures from behind of people walking. It's so cute!
