JUST found a video of the performance for the 4th of July!

My girls were in the talent show on the 4th of July and I just found a video on our newspapers web site!!! I was so excited to see it because I didn't get it recorded myself!

Yet another good poem... Your Highest Vocation!

YOUR HIGHEST VOCATION!

Dear happy homemakers, a wonderful breed,
God’s purpose for you is to raise a godly seed,
Children that are obedient, holy and pure,
With mother at home, they’ll be happy and secure.

Secure in God’s love and protected from the world,
Guarded from evil and grounded in God’s Word
By a mother who has embraced her calling divine,
The prophetic word God gave from the beginning of time.

You’re now planted at home, you’ve found your “glory”!
Left your job behind - that was another story!
You’ve now been promoted to a much higher career!
You’re in God’s perfect will so you don’t have to fear.

You’re nurturing, nourishing and building your nest,
Under your husband’s covering, you’re totally blessed.
God has promised to provide, He is Jehovah Jireh,
He will always be faithful, He is not a liar.

You are an “arrow polisher”, daily sharpening your arrows,
You’re not pecking on the ground like little sparrows,
But soaring like the eagle, your stature is high,
You’re changing the course of the nation as on God you rely!’

Dear mighty mothers, stand up and be strong,
Don’t be fooled by the enemy and the worldly throng,
Don’t be deceived by the “mindset” of this society,
Embrace your motherhood, it is your highest priority!

Don’t be conformed to the humanistic trend,
It only leads to heartache in the final end.
Be a non-conformist, stand against the tide,
You don’t have to be governed by this world’s pride.

Instead be transformed by God’s living Word,
He is restoring His truth, will you be stirred?
Will you be part of this end-time restoration,
To bring forth the godly seed and change the nation?

God is preparing a people for Jesus’ second appearing,
He wants an army of arrows, trained and unfearing,
Straight arrows to go forth from the parents’ bow,
The deceptions of Satan to overthrow.

May you experience God’s anointing and His daily renewing
As you become part of this revival which is all God’s doing.
You will be part of heralding the coming of the King
As you build God’s army – and His praises will ring.


Love from NANCY CAMPBELL

Talent show for the 4th!

The girls entered the talent show for the 4th of July.



Preparing!







Posing!





Pics of them doing it and very nervous.



They didn't really want to do it, but with some prompting they did.



Not sure if we will do it again unless they are a bit more prepared! They did have fun though and I guess that is the point!

Unfortuantely I can't figure out how to flip these photos!

Dance Recital pics FINALLY!

This is Tumbling!

This is more tumbling (Lex is in front)!

This is clogging!

This is Mighty movers! Hannah and Lex both in this one!

Where do I begin?

We have been so insanely busy! We have been at camp and trying to squeeze a family vacation and trip to Adventureland! Plus try to get my DR and Kitchen painted and get our basement cleaned up from the floods. This is all why I haven't been doing much blogging lately! I am up to my ears in projects. I would love to squeeze some scrapbooking in all this but I know it is on the backburner for now.

I plan to post some pics form camp sometime. But for now I will just let you all know Mark had a first up in Bible drills for quoting a verse! "That's my BOY!"

We had a really great time. I cried when it was time to go! Those girls really touched my heart! Being a dorm mom was my calling this last week! I had some really good talks with some of them! Girls I love you! I will be praying for you all this year and can't wait to see you again next year!

Happy Mother's Day

I know, I know, it's not quite Mother's Day yet, but I am going to be busy for the rest of the week and don't know if I will be able to post anything. So Happy Mother's Day to you all! ENJOY YOUR DAY!

Dance Recitals and Pictures Coming Up!

The whole theme for the Recital is "When I Grow Up". They have pics on this Sunday and Recital is May 30th. YAY! I am nervous for them and excited all at the same time. Lex and Hannah are both in Mighty Movers class which is 2 fold (tap and ballet), the song for ballet is "When I Grow Up" for tap, it's "Sugar Sugar". Alexis' song for Clogging is called "Mud" they will be wearing overalls with patches that match their shirts. Then for pre-tumbling the song is "Yaketty Sax" they are wearing a red leotard. I will post pics of the girls in their dance costumes once I take them.

Girl's weekend!

My friend Dana and I, and our two oldest girls went to Des Moines this weekend, spent the night in a motel, went shopping, to Build-a-Bear, and to Chuck E. Cheese's! We all had a blast. We got kicked out of the hot tub, they told us at the front desk when we checked in that there wasn't a closing time on it so we went down there kinda late so there wouldn't be anyone else hopefully. I guess there was a complaint so they came and kicked us out. We weren't being that loud at all. I think I may have got after Lex once or twice but I didn't screem or anything. OH WELL! We still had a great time!

It was nice having the girl time. We try to do special things with each of our kids. They love the one-on-one time! It's good for JR and I too! I think JR was getting a bit jealous of my alone time with them lately though ;) He said to me as I left, "I can't wait to go fishing and get some time with Mark."

Women of Faith weekend

Well I was so looking forward to this past weekend. The conference was great. Max Lucado was there. It was a lot of fun.

BUT... I ended up getting really sick. I still am kinda now. I got the FLU! Friday night I ended up passing out back at the motel room at about 3am! Not a fun weekend at all. I really don't feel like eating anything. I had called JR to let him know what was going on only to find out Mark and Lex had puked as well! G....RATE! We have stains on our carpet now (any clues as to how to get them up?) I hope this doesn't go clear through our family! I hate it when we are all sick... Man I can't wait for winter weather to be over!!!

Other then being sick though the conference was really good. It was nice to spend some time with friends I don't get to see much. I laughed and cried all in the same breath, on several occasions. LOL. I was convicted and encouraged as well.

Ladies Weekend!

A couple of friends and I went to Des Moines and had a ladies weeekend. We stayed in a motel and went to a chick flick on Friday night! Ate at cold ? creamery! YUMMY! Then the next day we shopped till we dropped and ate at Olive Garden (my fave restaurant)! It was so nice! loved it! We hope to make it an annual event!
