Summer Camping Trips

For our 2nd family camping trip this year, we invited Jobi's best friend, Brynlee. They played and played and had so much fun. I felt like I had a daughter. It was a lot of fun!
Jonny in his chair, having a cup of Joe.
The kids enjoyed some popsicles. We have a freezer in our camper that lets us bring a few frozen treats with us, which is really nice when its hot.
Here is our little Jobi enjoying his popsicle.
The kids rode their bikes and played catch on our little paved street.
Jon and Ruby enjoying the fire.
We have never leashed our dogs up when we go camping in campgrounds. Every once and awhile we would put a leash on them and just make them walk around with them on. Well, the camp hosts at this joint were pretty persistent about it. They told us if they had to tell us again we would be kicked out. She was pretty hard to understand the first time because I couldn't hardly understand her through her mouth with no teeth in it! So, of course, we forgot the leashes. Jon had some old parachute rope in the camper and thats what we used. It was so funny because Ruby and Quincy were like, "what the heck is this all about." They looked like some white trash hillbilly dogs!
Here is Ruby's rope. Happy right?





We had a great time and Jobi and Brynlee were great kids. She is welcome with us anytime!

More Family Camping Pictures

This is a shockingly rare photo of Jaren petting a dog. He was actually just checking out her old lady eyes. Cute picture none the less.
Cole and Sawyer's side profile. I just thought you wanted to see them from the side!
It's my sweetie pie!
Here is normal Kate.
Here is weirdo Kate.
And here is freaky, alien Kate.
A pretty little camper named, Crafty Joey.
This young man's name is Chazz. It's really my sister Erin, but the whole weekend she looked like a man. I think Kate has a way funnier picture of her. It was a fun time.
Uncle Jon really likes to freak out the little boys by throwing them up in the air really high. They love it and keep coming back for more. It is funny to see their faces after ward. On your mark,
Get set,

Go
And go more!

Family Camping

We try to get together with my side of the family for camping every year. This year we had a great time again of course. We had pretty good weather and the cousins all had a lot of fun with each other. Here are some photos of the big event.

Smoky crafting.

A couple of bums by the fire.
Here is Erin being a big busted dork. We were breakfast buddies and so we were just doing our cooking duties.
Here are some crazies we came upon. They were flashing gang signs at us.

Look at those cute kids of mine!
A giant and his baby. Boston's get pretty cold when the sun goes down. Jon loves his new baby anyway. Cute!

Haines Fun

Our New Love

Introducing our newest littlest addition, Haines Gelder. She is a Boston Terrier just like Ruby. She is so cute and so loving. She is a great puppy so far. Aren't they cute?
Here is the boys and girls. Quincy isn't a really good girl in the front yard so, she is in the house enjoying the air conditioning. We still love our old girl too!
She is just waking up in this picture. Look at that cute little body.
Irresistible face. What a sweetie.
Everyone loves her and she loves everyone. Who needs babies? We have puppies!

Happy Days

Here is a happy girl. She loves to be in the front yard. The bad thing is that she can't hear worth anything. She will just take off until she realizes she is too far away. You have to use hand signals and Ruby helps guide her. Isn't she cute though?
Ruby doesn't look to pleased, but she was happy here. She always looks like she is sitting like a human. She is just the cutest thing!
Here are some flowers from my front yard. The bright pink gerber daisies are still working on coming up through the middle. It is so much better in person!
Here is one of my hanging baskets up close. They are so pretty and everyone stops to ask me where I got them at. That white flower is only one plant the lady told me. It's huge! They are so pretty.

Daddy's got a new pair of shoes

Unfortunately, Jon bought the pair of shoes for himself that I have been forbidding him to buy. I always thought that Crocks looked fine on kids, but I really don't enjoy seeing adults wear them! I know they say they are comfortable, but why can't they be cuter? I secretly just like to give him a lot of crap.
Check out his face. I think he thought his face wasn't going to be in the picture. Funny shoe model!
Jon on the porch with the big flower basket.
What a cute pair. Soaking up the sunshine.
Awe! What is with Ruby's eyes? Freaky face.
