We had a little getaway to celebrate Chris’ 30th birthday. I love the break from day to day, but packing for 6…yuck. I was in a b&w mood while editing these…. Chris enjoyed a little time with his other girl…check out those top two teeth! She enjoys snuggling with her dad. She does not enjoy…
I married a younger man. Yesterday Chris said ‘goodbye’ to his 20s and today he says “hello” to the 30s. Yep, he is pretty awesome and no one gets to fully see and appreciate his awesomeness like I do. Like Kung Fu Panda, you can’t really contain his awesomeness. Babe, I tried to get a…

Fisrt I need to address Firecracker’s thighs. It’s just not right to put a picture like that on a blog where unsuspecting (well, actually I should have guessed) baby hungry Mama’s can see them! Ha! She needs to be squeezed!
Secondly Happy Birthday Chris! 30 is only as old as you make it, that’s what my husband says! I hope today and everyday is absolutely amazing!
Happy 30th Chris! Hope it is a wonderful day of celebrating and a fabulous year to come! Love, Courtney and Blake
Happy 30th Birthday Chris, aka “the coffee whisperer”! Chris, I have never had so much coffee as when I was at your house. Many days I wish you had a drive up window. I don’t know your secret, but I’m sure that this is REALLY how Ashley is able to do about a week’s worth of work in only 24 hours. 
Enjoy your day!
Happy Birthday Chris!! Have an awesome day with your sweet family…and remember, 30 is the new 20 
Happy Birthday Chris!! Thank you for sharing your wife with us, she is an endless source of inspiration as a mom, homemaker and a wife. Oh and 30 is the new 20…didn’t you hear!
Happy Birthday Chris! You are very blessed with a wonderful wife and beautiful children! God bless the Campbell’s!

Happy Birthday Chris! I hope your birthday is project and building free!!
A very happy birthday to Chris!
My husband turned 30 on March 25th. If you are experiencing the same feelings as him (which was feelings of being “so” old) just stop! Because you are not old!!! But in 10 years when you are 40 you can say that Haha….just kidding. Happy birthday Chris!
Have a wonderful birthday, Chris!
(p.s. I married a younger man too, Ashely. He loves pointing out the time of year when I’m 3 years older than him.)
Happy Birthday Chris!!!
Happy Birthday Chris, turning 30′s not so bad; been there done that. Enjoy!!!

Happy Birthday Chris!!! Welcome to the 30s…a time of fun and new experiences.
From one who is almost halfway through this decade, it is sooo much better than your 20s! Wishing you a great next 10 years!
Happy birthday to the old Redskin. Just think, 10 more years you’ll be 40. haha.

Chris – did you?
ha ha. hugs to the whole family
Ok. I’m back with another comment.
When I read a comment about ‘loving the thighs’ I though it was about Chris – so I scrolled up to look at his thighs (sorry Ash) then I finally figured out that it’s about BABY SISTER’S thighs with the 3 0 on them. Yes. I love them too! lol.
Happy Birthday…smarter than the 20′s, younger than the 40′s…pretty much the perfect decade! Enjoy…Kim
Happy Birthday Chris!! Atleast you don’t have to worry about your hair turning gray because…well you know why! (I feel like I am entitled to say that as you were like a brother growing up). Seriously, Hope you have an amazing day filled with lots of love and laughter!
Happy Birthday to one of my favorite son-in-laws!! Thank you for being such an awesome husband to my daughter and fantastic dad to my grandchildren Love ya Nana
Happy 30th Chris! Your 20′s, I am sure were awesome, but you are going to ROCK on in your 30′s!
happy birthday chris! enjoy your day
Those thighs! She’s a cutie!
Happy Birthday, Daddy!
I had Rachel write all the lyrics to “American Pie” on my chest and butt for your birthday, but the photos didn’t turn out. Happy birthday anyway.

And mix it all around and give it a little squeezy,
and then everything seems easy…..!

Today my son put on his full spiderman gear, including his head piece, and went out in the 98 degree Houston heat and had a LEMONaid stand. Only he calls it NINJAaid because it gives you “Ninja” powers. Some poor lady spilled her cup, and my wonderful little spiderman charged her again. Rude.
I always want to try one of your easy crafts, but time is not always on my side.
I could really use a lemon-berry slush right about now….is it 2:00 yet?

Here’s my new favorite summer drink from Gweneth Paltrow’s website GOOP!
Agave*-Sweetened Lemonade
Agave syrup is the sweet nectar of the Agave plant. It is full of minerals and has a low glycemic index, making it far healthier than white sugar. Serve up a tall, cool glass of this lemonade and enjoy without the downward spiral sugar crash afterwards.
SERVES: 4
TIME: 5 minutes
1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup light agave syrup*
1 quart of water
a few lemon slices for garnish, if you like
Mix everything together, adding a bit more of any ingredient, if necessary, so it’s just the right mix of sweet and tart for your taste.
(*I’ve substituted honey in a pinch!)
I love the bushel and a peck poster! My mom says that to my girls everytime she gives them a “squeezy”

“i have to go peasy!”
quote from my 6 year old when he had to pee.
i don’t know how you do it! you make having 4 children, being a wife and an amazing woman all look so EASY! kudos to you Ashley!
I used to be so-queezy about diy afraid I would only create a lemon. But with Ashley’s help it is easy peasy.
Firecrackers legs are so squeezy!
I love your style and would love for you to come and decorate my house:)
Peasy peasy lemon-me win!
I’ve always loved the word peasy! And the saying has just become a favourite with my kids, which is really fun…especially when said in the completely wrong context! Thanks for another gorgeous giveaway!
Oh what a wonderfully easy giveaway~ Thank you!
Thanks for making it so easy to win an adorable poster!
Pretty peasy, post more diy’s soon!
I love this giveaway so much, I just want to give you a great big squeezy!!
Easy as pie. I love how cute and uplifting all the posters are!
Pretty peasy!! I need the “Bushel and a Peck” print!
My squeezy is at work right now. It’s not an easy job and it makes him a sour lemon when he gets home. But when he’s home, oh he’s lovely. A lovely peasy. HAHA… I don’t actually know what peasy means.
I love to make homemade squeezy lemonade! It is easy peasy to make and tastes delicious!
Fun project and give away…thanks for making it look so easy!!
(and now I have that quote in my head!)
Mmmm, my husband’s grandma has the best lemon cake recipe ever!

Easy peasy lemon squeezy – My daughters favorite saying.
It is so hot outside I need an ice cold lemon squeezy! And I want to win a poster, so draw my name peasy!
That is easy- love the lemon poster!
Picking one will not be an “easy” task!
But seriously… I love the three alphabet print bundle! I might just have to order it!!
I’m looking a little too squeezy after our vacation last week!
I bought a fresh basil plant and LEMONade (to go together) from Trader Joes yesterday and thought of you.
what an easy peasy looking craft! fun!!!
It’s easy to love Sew Saucy Stitches.
love the plexi-glass idea…and the posters! my mom used several thin pieces of plexi-glass bound together to create a kindof layered, photo-frame look, along the same theme as yours.
My son love the easy peasy lemon squeezy saying from Leap Frog!
My 2.5yo. is potty training.
I have to remember to not be too squeezy with her …
I love to squeezy my little baby!! She’s so easy to love!

Ryan - Wow! You really did give Hipstamatic a try, eh? I love all of the pics! We need to get you and Chris a car charger for your phones.
Loved all of the pics!
laura - some beautiful pics….and great memories, i’m sure, too. (my husband is turning 30 this year….do you have any more ideas for celebrating?)
Shannon - Looks fun! We have been wanting to take the kids to an indoor water park for a long time, we may just have to buckle down and do it this summer!
And yes, road trips stink. Period.
ashlee - oklahoma ia certainly beautiful:) ikea? jealous!! your family is so beautiful, looks like you guys had an amazing time:)
chantelle - We just bought an 82 VW camper van for our family road trips! We live hours away from anything fun so in my eyes it was a must! HMMM, dvd’s-how am I going to sneak those into the vw! Great idea-the caves look so cool, photo montage hilarious!
Karen - These are so great! I think it is so cool how you take your camera with you everywhere. Have you done a post on on your camera bags? Do you just put it in your purse or do you wear it all the time? Do you just take one lens? I would love to know
susie whyte - okay, so the first water park photo came up and i was like “what’s up with the die hard 5 water scene–water in a warehouse moment?” haha. i know exactly what you mean about car rides. THE WORST. i always tell my hubby we should fly from wichita to okc. haha.
meg duerksen - fun.
makes me excited for our vacation.
the inadvertent farmer - We have a water park very similar here in Washington and it is only 1.5 hours away and I grumble at going. I completely understand your pain at road trips…I didn’t like them even when we didn’t have kids! I love a short Sunday drive around the lake but don’t ask me to sit in a car more than an hour and still be a happy mama!
Great shots, especially the ones of the baby! Kim
lifeologia - I love these photos. such a huge mix I don’t know what’s my favourite. I love the ‘I hate road trips’ series though. Mostly I’m used to seeing people smiling ‘pretending’ that they enjoy the trip – ALL LIES. You told the whole truth
BriBedell - I am going to buy that app asap!! Loved all the picture, I can relate my husbands family is 4 hours away…I hate to just sit! So I know what I am doing the next road trip we take
Dave Delaney - Great photos from your trip!
It sure sounds like you need a PowerJolt Reserve. Send me an email and I’ll see what I can arrange for you
Cheers!
Dave
amy - oh, highly stressful to say the least…you rock! looks like a great time and i love your feelings expressed by a 4-year old…hilarious! : )
Debbie - Hi Ashley, I am a friend of Steph’s. She told me about your site a year ago and I have enjoyed frequenting it ever since. I always hated road trips too, until I started knitting. I get carsick, but knitting doesn’t bother me and I feel like I’m using my creative side and accomplishing something too!
rachel denbow - was this a trip to the Dallas area? Because if you know of an IKEA hiding any where closer than that one and aren’t telling me…
this is one of my favorite posts ever. not sure why. I think i love how you captured the feeling of a long, long, long road trip with little ones. it’s perfect. and the name of that indoor water park please?
Michelle Z. - I am the same way in cars. My sister has been begging me for about 20 years to take a road trip out to California (we live in PA and NC) and I keep telling her she is cRaZy! It sounds like torture to me. Books on tape help a little bit, but I still get cranky for about 90% of it.
Jodi - Roadtrips are the worst but the kids love it and the memories are priceless. The indoor water park looks fantastic.
I was just looking through your “my lovelies” and I had to laugh because your future garden is my future garden. I saw that on Design Sponge a while back and have been emailing that to everyone I know letting them know about my “dream garden”!!! I heart that photo.
jenny - first of all- I happened upon your blog and I love it!
love your vacation photos and they are even funnier because I can totally relate! We have three small children (5,3, and 1) and a baby on the way! We will be attempting a family vacation soon too so now I am inspired to take lots of photos!
shelly@familyblt - love that app! I need it! I am not big on road trips either-blech
emily anderson - i can so relate to everything you say.
i am curious…do you drive a mini-van? or an SUV?
juliet - Is that Wolf Lodge waterpark? We have always wanted to go there and didn’t know they had a special area for toddlers.
Jolie - That looks like an awesome waterpark – and yay for a few photos with nary a drowning!
Roadtrips are a bit of a pain – I love the idea of them…the sitting for endless hours in the car, not so much! Basic, mindless knitting works for me in the passenger seat – I can’t read or anything that involves eye contact or we play *let’s guess what colour mama vomits next* (a great family game!ugh)
giozi - Oh my 30th birthday !!! is so young yet:D
Deanna - Just found your beautiful blog last week and it’s already a fav!
And I totally get you on the ‘looks’. I had 4 kids in 5.5 yrs. I got lots of look especially in the beginning. I think now that my baby is 3 and my oldest 8 we don’t look like quite the spectacle. It’s more of having 4 really little ones that would get people. But maybe I just don’t notice anymore. We live at Target and I still get asked very frequently “are they all yours?”.
Becca G - i also have 4 kids. my oldest just turned 8. just love the looks we get when we go to town. it’s like there staring and counting and then they look at me like i’m crazy. well, i am.
clb - Okay I know that you went through McKinney because that is a McKinney police car, I should know because I live here! Did yall go to the IKEA in Frisco and Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine?
