The Vols may stink, but my boys will bleed orange!

Don't get me started about the recent debacle of the Tennessee Volunteers. Can we say implode? I even heard that Phillip Fulmer was booed in Neyland Stadium when his name was announced. Classic! All that being said, I've been a Vol my ENTIRE life and knew Johnny Majors was the head coach when I was a mere 18 months old (we have a cassette tape recording to prove it). And so goes the next generation of Vol enthusiasts added to our family. Though Andy is a Miami Hurricane at heart, he has an appreciation for all things orange and especially enjoys a fall trip to the promise land that is Knoxville on gameday. Since we won't be going to a game this year, and we live only 45 minutes from the Swamp, we will continue to proudly wear our orange every weekend the Vols play--even if we aren't too proud of our team at the present!

Cade is 3 months old

Our little boy had his first professional photo shoot last week, and you just can't help but love them! He's such a little doll and smiles all the time. I thought I'd put a few of them here for you all to enjoy. :)

It's not a Dream. My Fantasy Team's FOR REAL!

For three years, Andy has participated in Fantasy Football. He partipates in League drafts and online auctions and has never allowed me, a girl, to participate. However, he's always seemed to ask me on game day which players to play. It never has failed, whether he has taken my advice or not, my predictions have been spot on 95% of the time.

So, when it came time for him to have TWO leagues this year, he gave me the opportunity to participate in one of his leagues. Thus the birth of team "Rocky Top!"

The auction draft was pretty fun with both of us in our kitchen on laptops, at times bidding against each other. And though the QB of team Rocky Top didn't turn out to be Peyton Manning (it should have been, but I didn't want to spend $50 of my fake $200 on him), I have a pretty stellar team of guys who haven't always turned out to be the best in Fantasy. My strategy: pick players who are either from the south or played college football in the south that I like to watch. (nearly all of my team matches this strategy)...and I must say, after week one, it's paid off. I not only won my game in my nine team league, I scored the second most points of any team!

From Jay Cutler (Vandy) to Thomas Jones (Virginia), Jason Witten (THE VOLS) to Calvin Johnson (Ga. Tech), Roy Williams (Texas) to the Dallas Cowboys defense... my team ROCKS and is currently ON TOP! Greet team Rocky Top who's league owner is a GIRL!

Story Time

As the parent of two under two, you'll sometimes do anything you can to get them in a picture together. This photo op went something like this: "Cole, sit here with your brother for a picture." Cole gets up and starts to run away. Get Cole to sit down and hand him a book. Prop Cade up beside Cole. "Cade, look at Mommy. "(Thank you) "Cole, look at Mommy." Cole continues to "read" and turn pages. "Cole, look at Mommy." To no avail. So, we'll just chalk it up as an opportunity to have frozen in time my two little boys in this brief, unplanned story time.

Growing Kids God's Way

I'm not one to really say that I "swear by" anything. However, I swear by the Growing Kid's God's Way method. Both of our boys have been reared in this teaching, and it's WONDERFUL! Cade is 3-months-old and has been sleeping through the night (going to bed at 7:30 pm and up at 6:30 am) for a couple of weeks now. Cole's been doing it since he was 5 months old. I recommend the Ezzos teaching to anyone who'll listen!

I'm a big boy!

Ocassionally Cole will give us this look like he's already a teenager thinking he's smarter than we are. For a 21 month old little boy, he cracks us up. Here's a look that will make you think he's a lot older than he really is.

First Time Blogger

I've realized that all of my friends across the country are blogging now. Since we live so far away from family and have lots of friends out of Florida, it's time for the Campbells to hop on this bandwagon. Though Andy's on online message boards all the time for Miami Hurricane this or UConn Husky that, there's no real way for people to keep up with us all... so here we are: A2C2 Campbell. :)
