July 4th celebrations

This was Allison's first Independence Day. She was mesmerized by the fireworks!

The boys were having so much fun!

Greg's 34th Birthday

On the last Saturday of Pilgrim Camp this year was Greg's 34th birthday. After a long day we celebrated by eating supper at Applebee's. Right as we were finishing up there, I took the kids outside where I gave them silly string so they could spray their dad. During the time I was getting all that ready with them, Adam came out and he and I proceeded to write on the van windows all sorts of birthday wishes! After we left there we headed back to the camper for cheesecake (Greg's favorite) and coffee and presents.

They got him good!

Gettin' ready to fire

Fun times!

Pilgrim Camp 2008

good ol' sue

Here is a picture of our newly acquired truck. Traditionally, I always name my vehicles. My first car was a Dodge Shadow, which I named "The Shadow." Original, yeah, I know. Next was my Ford Ranger, named "Bill," as Ranger Bill was the only ranger I knew. After that I got a Ford Explorer that I dubbed "Meriwether" in honor of Lewis of the famed duo "Lewis and Clark." So, when we bought this Dodge Ram, we began to think of a fitting name for it. Rather quickly, the name "Sue" came to Val's mind. So, in honor of a large singer who can't sing, our truck is named "Sue."

long time no posties

I have absolute no reason to post. Well, I do have reason to post, but no pictures that illustrate the said reason. So, I looked through my phone and found this pic of me at Texas Roadhouse last week some time. Greg and I went there. It was good.

And so, somehow, this has perhaps filled the posting void that existed.
