me practicing with my camera and trying to get a good shot of the moon. i accidentally deleted another good shot. i can't wait until the next FULL moon so i can practice some more and get a better shot. anyway i though this one came out pretty good.  

these are some pics of my ohh so handsome boy at football practice. he is going to be such a handsome man one day in the not so distant future.


 

okay so this is my cousin jason acting like a big old dork LOL. he was putting all of this stuff on to act like jack sparrow from pirates of the carribean LOL. such a goofball.


 

some more family pics at the bbq. you know someone could have told me that my skirt was up LOL. ohh well. the very last pic is of our cousin jason. he is hilarious and i will post some pics of him being a goof ball at my house when he stayed for a few days.


 

this is my brother, tom, and his family. we had a family bbq up at my sisters house. it is so great to have my brother back in my life. he has been a screw up like my parents for a very long time and finally he has decided that enough was enough. he is doing great and i am extremely happy about that. i got to meet his family. he has been with (i say she is his wife even though they aren't married) for 7 or 8 years now. she is very sweet. she has two kids and they are great too. we had a blast. i will post more pics here in a minute LOL. using picassa2 i can only upload four photos at a time.


 

our new additions LOL. yup we got two guinea pigs now LOL. the white one that ashley is holding is called marshmellow. he matches my cat pixel LOL he is all white with blue eyes and he is mine LOL but ashley gets to hold him because he is the mellower of the two. the one that dyllan is holding is patches and he is both dyllan's and ashley's guinea pig. they are sooo cute and sweet. guinea pigs make good first pets because they don't bite. i mean they could bite but it isn't in their nature to bite. they love human contact and will just sit on your lap forever being petted. so now we have 3 dogs, one cat and two guinea pigs LOL. okay so i think that we have more then enough pets now.


 

I DONATED 11 INCHES OF MY HAIR TO LOCKS OF LOVE. i was very proud of my self LOL. i was getting really tired of my long hair because it kept getting in the way and since my sister donated her hair and told me about it and sent me the site to check it out, i decided that i would do the same thing. my hair is now just a little past my shoulders but not much past it LOL. i'm going to grow it out again and then donate it again. i mean what better cause to donate to.


 

a cute little crawdad that dyllan found. he was so proud LOL and it took him forever to catch it. this is a small one compared to what we have seen in the past. he ended up letting it go but not in the lake LOL and a neighbor camper came over and asked us if we let it go and poor dyllan got sooo embarrassed because he didn't let it go where he was supposed to. i was also upset with him since he said that he let it go in the lake. ohh well LOL kids will be kids.

okay so on this lake there are cabins that you can rent. i'm not sure if the red cabin that i took a pic of you can rent but boy would it be nice LOL. there are some log cabins that i didn't get a pic of that i know you can rent. i just thought it looked cool with the red cabin on this gorgeous lake.

the third pic my dad took of the shadows on his awning. i think it looks really neat. i loved the fourth pic with the white dead tree but it came out blurry so i was really disappointed. ohh well because i am scrappin it anyways LOL




 

some more pics of the surrounding area. did i say how much i love it up there LOL. its sooo beautiful i just can't help it. i got pics of mom and dad giving each other a little kiss. soooo sweet. the light that looks like streamers is actually the moon. we were on a dock and of course a dock moves and so that is what it came out like. kinda like fireworks LOL.




 

this was the only pic i got of my sweet mother in law because i was moving camp most of the time that she was there.




 

my dad cooking hamburgers for lunch. i got some cute pics of mom and ashley dancing. it was sooo cute to watch. i just wish i could have gotten pics of them dancing with out them knowing about it LOL
