Family Camp...Part Uno

A couple weeks ago we attended my mom's side family reunion.

We camped.

And...

kids played parachute...



Cam completed a little more of an AWESOME book (Cam won't let me disclose the title....too embarrassing, he says)



We fished...
(With the help of the small ones, we were quite successful in catching our fair share of green moss and ugly weeds)
(My sis-in-law Jamie, her two girls Meghan and Keltsy, Brayden, and my youngest brother, Trevor)



And ate Muddy Buddies, wore sunglasses, and fished...all at the same time!



Mommies held the babies...
(Sister Kasha and her boy, Ethyn)



And Grandma held the babies...



We enjoyed a little fire time (Smores = graham cracker, roasted marshmallow, and Peanut Butter Cup...WoW!)



Brayden practiced his kissy face...



More holding of the babies...



And kids posing before the mighty flour-sock battle broke out...
(L to R: Shaylee (Kasha (sis)and Kinley's girl), KoriAnn (Aunt and Uncle Arleen & Corey's girl), Trevor (youngest brother), Keltsy, Meghan (Jason (bro) and Jamie's girls), and Brayden)


You might be wondering what a flour-sock battle is...

More to come on that...

Later.

Related to TALENT

These AMAZING works of art were created by my brother-in-law, Kinley.



Every time we visit their house, I feel like I am standing in the Very-Creative-KINLEY PUZEY Art Museum.

One day, as I was gazing at one piece of art hanging in his cute daughter's room.
I politely and very sneakily hinted that I LOVED his work. I proceeded to shower him with compliments...ALL true, of course...

And the next thing I new...

Waaah-Laaah...

He surprised me with my very own art for my very own house.
(B for Brayden, A for Aydrie)






It almost brought tears to my eyes....Almost (being the non-crier that I am, this was a big deal)


This is only ONE of the many perks of being related to TALENT...

Amazing!

So....

Want one of YOUR VERY OWN?

Let me know...

I could be that 'person-on-the-inside' who would hit up my bro-in-law, who then would make ALL your art dreams come true...

Incomplete

Well...
Here I am...
Posting withOUT any pictures...
It feels so incomplete.

But, I guess there is no other way when your camera's chip is completely filled and a run to WalMart is desperately needed.

Soon....
Pictures will be coming soon.


This is what we've been up to:

Cam:
Finished his work-for-free-for-6-weeks fun at Walgreen's. YIPPEE
He's enjoying his time off by hanging out with his dad at GOLD'S GYM...OOOHHH
And he's bringin' home some 'extra bacon' by working a few extra hours this month.
He also finds time to ride his bike and cart the kids around in their stroller-thingy that hooks to his bike. He does this because I want him to go with me when I run so that no bad guys will get me. I think he secretly likes it. He says sacrificing his body for me is worth it because he gets to stare at my backside the whole way.......funny...

Me:
The main things I do in a day include: House cleaning, Exercising (I'm Obsessed...), kid-raising, and every now and then - a little cooking. Oh, and blog stocking. Not much out of the ordinary.

...Except, I did get to go shopping with my friend Randi the other day. That was a beautiful experience. She opened my eyes the wonderful world at the Mall...She showed me all the good stuff...IT IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE SHOPPING WITH A GIRL THAN WITH A GUY AND KIDS...I'm sure you already knew that.

Brayden:
He's Lovin' the preschool time we spend together...he loves learning...
He passed with flying colors at the dentist...he actually loved the experience.
He's had lots of fun playing with cousins (Holidays!!!)
And, he has to have Aydrie's light-up shoe to fall asleep...
Awesome.

Aydrie:
Not crawling yet...but there is no need. She gets where she needs to be by rolling and turning in circles. She starting to go up on her hands and knees.
She eats mush and baby food...Cheerios are NOT a good idea...all we do is clean up spit-up after attempting such foods...
She likes to scream...just to make noise...
Once again, Awesome.

We've spent a lot of time with family and friends the last little while. It's been fun and we're so glad we have people close to us to enjoy times with.


Just imagine how much better this post would be with pictures...

Feels a little incomplete, doesn't it?

Kisses to you All.
