Camping Pictures

Finally! I apologize, but I have been having computer issues for almost a week and it is hard to do hobby stuff when your IT guy is sitting at your computer.

In case you didn't read my sis's post - We all went camping this past weekend. I love camping, but the part of my sister that likes camping is very, very small so I can only bring it out about once a year. I had a really good time hanging out with my family without TVs and cell phones. I think they had fun too. The first thing I took pictures of was the guys' fishing lures. I am not a big fisherperson but I do like the different fishing lures used.



The guys went fishing while my sis and I watched. It is a little difficult to take a picture of guys fishing without it looking like they are using the bathroom. This is my fav of all the fishing shots. It is my hubby with his sister and her fiance.



While I was resting my middle nephew got a hold of my camera. I am not posting all the pictures he took because he was taking "blackmail" photos. They aren't indecent, but they are awful. Man! This kid cracks me up.



Lastly are the BBQ pics. My hubby BBQ'd while we watched and waited and took random pictures.

In the end we all had a really good weekend. I love my fam-damly!

I made it!!!

Surprise-Surprise I survived the weekend camping trip :) It was actually a lot of fun and the heat wasn't too horribly bad. Don't get me wrong it was HOT but it totally could have been worse.
Here is where we stayed-we had two screened shelters next to each other with a picnic table and grill inbetween. The tent is where the boys stayed. They loved it because they had their own space and their own tornado fan. The spider we found up high outside-Ironically two days before I learned that this is a Zipper spider, I had never heard of them or seen them and then as soon as I learn about it we find two really big creepy looking ones. UGH-You just have to LOVE the outdoors :)

Everyone had a blast swimming-The lake was down the hill and I was scared that with my bad ankle I would never make it down or back up. So I spent majority of the time in a chair at the top snapping pictures. I did finally after awhile decide to go down and I was right it was kind of hard to get back up so needless to say I didn't try that again :0


We saw this really cute couple in matching outfits rowing a boat-I thought it was AWESOME so I had to get a picture of it.
On Saturday the parents came out for a bit and this fan is WONDERFUL-Even in 100 and whatever degree weather it kept us from being too miserable. We had one on each side of us in the shade. We had quite the set up :)

The boys tried fishing-But the only thing that they caught was the heat from the sun.
AWWWW-relaxation at the end of the day. They are playing Redneck Life, it is a pretty funny game, you should check it out. The person with the most teeth at the end wins :)

Well-I hope everyone had a good weekend. Happy Monday to you all. I also hope that everyone has a great week.
Take care!!
Until next time,

We are going CAMPING!!!!!

Happy Friday!!! I hope we all had a great week. I have been kind of grouchy but that is okay we have finally reached the end. We are going camping for the weekend. Hopefully it will be fun-I am not much of the outdoorsy type. We are spending two nights in the horrible Texas heat-Hopefully I will survive :) It will be my family and my sister's family so it should be a really good time.
For our weekend pictures we have decided to go with the great outdoors since we will be out in it. So hopefully I do not forget the camera.
Well-I just realized that I have been walking around with a big blue ink spot on my boob all morning-How embarassing!! Just thought I would share so you can have a good laugh at my expense :)
Have a great weekend!!! Get out and have some FUN!!! Life is short so enjoy it as much as you can!!!

I'm Blacking (Blog+Slacking)

I'm sorry! I was just reading through our blog and I realized my sis has posted a dozen times more than I have. Oh man. I was off last week and for some reason I haven't been taking my camera with me places. If you read my sis's blog then you know that her boys were at my house last week. We had a really good time and I am kicking myself for not capturing pictures of them roller skating, bowling, and black light mini-golfing. I did capture a few pictures of them riding carnival-esque rides with my picture phone. I am sorting them now so please wait a moment while I organize them........
........

Thank you for your patience. Just a few more moments.........
Whew! That took forever! I finally have them uploaded. One of the days we spent bowling and I am not a good bowler as you can clearly read.
Another day we went to Kemah, TX. This was a comical day watching them ride the rides.
I think this ride was the best one of all. They decided to ride a kiddie ride since there was no line.

Happy Monday!!


Good Morning all!! How is everyone? I am SUPER DUPER tired today. It totally feels like a typical Monday morning to me.
My boys came home on Friday-YIPPEE!!!! I am soo excited to have them home. I have no idea what I am going to do when they grow up and leave for good. Too depressing to even think about right now.
Our weekend was pretty good-I enjoyed it and had quite a bit of fun :)
We had a "princess" party on Saturday-which was very funny considering I have nothing but boys in my house :) But they seemed to get a kick out of it.
Saturday Night we decided to give "Light Painting" a try. We had a blast doing this. We used a flashlight and some glow sticks. We turned the lights off and the music on-It was hilarious watching everyone dance around trying to make the coolest designs to capture on camera. Above and below are a few pictures of the fun. We did this for like 2 hours, I have about 100 pictures to go thru so I just picked the first few to show here. After I go through all of them I will post any others that I think are really good.
This was an accident picture- but I love the way it looks.
I hope everyone has the BEST week ever!!! I am starting to focus better now and this morning is going by fast so maybe it will end up a good day :)
