Camping trip

October 26th, 2007

We went on another camping trip in September. We went with some family and friends. We had such a great time. We had a great bunch of poeple that camped and some that just came to hang out for a few hours with us. We had 3 sites that were all next to each other. Our friends Gina, Jeff and Jon camped next to us, next to them were Joe, Lizzy and Joe’s friend in a tent then Dad and Teri in the camper. We all had such a great time. There were lots of dogs too. I think there were more dogs then children. Here are a few pictures from the trip.

The Newport Aquarium

September 7th, 2007

I took the boys to the Newport Aquarium the week before school started. They were having what they called “shark fest”. Brandon is really into sharks so I thought it would be fun to go.

I think the boys had a great time looking at all the different things. They were able to touch sharks. I think they really enjoyed that. I know I really enjoyed watching them.
There was an area where we could go in and feed the birds. I was all ready to buy the food for the boys to do that but they told us the birds weren’t hungry so we didn’t. There is a picture of a boy feeding a bird. I think Brandon would have really enjoyed that, he has taken a liking t birds lately. I am sure it doesn’t have anything to do about Harley. :)
Here are some photos from the aquarium.summer07-109.jpgsummer07-110.jpgsummer07-113.jpgsummer07-115.jpgsummer07-125.jpgsummer07-129.jpgsummer07-133.jpgsummer07-132.jpgsummer07-136.jpgsummer07-137.jpgsummer07-132.jpgsummer07-136.jpgsummer07-137.jpgsummer07-147.jpgsummer07-149.jpg

Brandon’s 10th Birthday

September 6th, 2007

Here are a few pictures from Brandon’s birthday party. He had a few friends over for a campout. I think they had fun. A couple of boys went to play ding dong ditch. They were chomping at the bit to do something like that. So, I gave in. I think I had the biggest laugh of them all. I told them to do the house next door to me. What they didn’t know is that that house was empty at the time. They came running back so fast. I then started to tell them that they better be careful because that is the neighbor that called the police on us for the dogs barking.(that part is true, but they had just moved) I was getting the biggest kick out of that. I think I was having more fun then they were. I did have to let the parents in on it so they wouldn’t I just let thier boys run the neighborhood doing what ever they wanted.

Anyway, Here are a few pictures. My friend made the cake. It was so nice.
I also had her make a cake for Brad because they share the same birthday.
THat cake also turned out very nice.summer07-046.jpgsummer07-049.jpg

Finally I made the time to post some new pictures. I only had 212 pictures on my camera when I put them on the computer. Here are a few pictures from the camping trip we took to Il. We met up with my Unlce Mike and Aunt Nettie and my Dad and Teri. It was a very HOT weekend, but we had a great time visiting with each other.
We took the boys swimming, I rented a golf cart for a day. That was so much fun. I enjoyed driving that around the camp ground. I would like to do that all the time.
Brad and I took a drive to check the area out while Grandma and Grandpa took the boys to the Harley store. While we were out, Brad picked up some ribbons to have an award ceremony for the boys. I don’t think Brandon enjoyed it too much at least he acted like he didn’t. Maybe he is getting to old for that stuff. I know Brad had fun doing it!
