More Pictures from Cousin Camp

While Grandmother (aka Mean Ol' Aunt Joyce) was here I took some pictures from her camera.
Since I (or some child) took just as many as she did we should get to see them.

So, for all you fun lovers, here ya go.

 

OUT!

Yes there are pictures of other people's kids, mine just happen to be there first.

What am i doing? Are my pants falling down? I doubt that.
This must be the tea making posture.

 



Don't you all wish you were having as much fun as she is?

I think this is beautiful!

Sweetness!

 

See, they gotz skills!

Eating

OH NO Sarah!!!! Run Away! Caleb is possessed! (sorry, this one made me laugh)

TA-DA!

Kelly Feet

Kathy, I still have my tiny blanket/hat in my purse.

Dunagan Family Worship Service

 

There are a few more I'd like to share. Perhaps when this thing will load them I'll update. There's a good one of Steve sharing the gospel and Uncle John and Aunt Carolyn leading a time of testimony and rememberence. The worship was the sweetest time. If you missed it . . . well, it was worth spending the whole crazy weekend in the middle of nowhere for the joy shared that Sunday morning.
Almost makes me want to bump up the next one a year or two. Almost.

And theres one more of some sweet blonde babies eating (we sure do eat a lot!) But it just won't load. And I'm growing impatient.

Love you people!

The Quiet One's Birthday & Other Wonderments

Our quiet child, Autumn, turned 13 this past week. How do they get there so fast?
This is the painfully shy kid. (But we know how loud and bossy she is to the other kids).
Her face speaks volumes.

They still get a Barbie (she got a Ken). As long as they still play like little girls
I'll keep buying Barbies and hoping that I do the same thing next year.

She saw this pillow and asked for it. We remember something!!!!

13 year olds get to wear lipstick.
This lipstick came with $$$ for clothes and Crackle nail polish.

Then we looked for a fire extinguisher.

Happy Birthday, dear Autumn!

 

In other news . . .

Lora and Jorja opened a beauty parlor on the porch. This is Jorja "fixin'" big brother's hair.
How sweet is that!??!!!!

Elijah tried to kill a fly. It became a walk and Jacob claimed it was his pet.
I don't think you can see it, but its on his arm. Our sanitary child. ;)

Grandmother came to visit Saturday and showed us her pictures from Italy.
This is her an Rick somewhere over there being cheesy.

What did we learn last week . . .
     Spend more time with people you love.
     Grandmother and Rick like to take self-portraits - its not always great.
    We'd still like to freeze the children. They just keep getting bigger! Ugh! I guess the joy of raising these arrows is also the heartbreak.
     Gene and I get fired up sometimes - and it can be a very good thing!
