Sand Hallow lake, and camping!

We went to sand hallow, about 30 minutes away from where we lived. We had SO much fun! This is the first time I (and the kids) had been camping as a family! (well mom and Jordan decided that they would like to stay home and sleep in a bed....)


Silly Ali..... she didn't want a normal picture... of course not, that would be to BORING!

I got to invite some friends.. it was a lot of fun!! In this picture Ashelyn, Me, Karlee.... Maegan came too, but she is not in this picture.


the kids hiding in the tall reeds....


This was a really cool place to take pictures.
Best Friends FOREVER!!I think that this is one of my favorite pictures from that day. ( Maegan on the left, and me on the right)
I love that way all of the picture turned out!

The water was perfect! Not to hot, not to cold....



She would not even hold still for a picture.. but I kinda like this one.We love little Brett. He is growing up so fast! of course he does everything that Ali does, and if Ali doesn't have time for pictures, neither does he..... Ha~ha
Ali and Brett had a lot of fun. They would take the reeds and whip each other... that stopped right after Brett got hurt...

After getting wet we built a fire.... it was so much fun! and yes we did eat smores, but no the kind that you are used too. We put banana's and carob chips on graham crackers... it was pretty good but not my favorite.



there were million's of little bugs! they were like baby misquito's or they were knats. either one, they were annoying, they would swarm above your head and follow you every where!!
(you can kind of see them above my dads head)



Brett had fun with the fire.


Brett got a flaming stick from the fire and used it to chase away the bugs.... Ha~ha He saved us all!!


we took cover from the bugs under our towel....




The bugs were everywhere! Can you see the little black dots? yep, those are all bugs. Next time we will bring bug spray!

hehe, Me and Karlee, smushed banana between our teeth.... haha, you are never to old to do that! haha

We had so much fun this weekend.. but a hint to any one who wants to spend a night outside...

DON'T FORGET BUG SPRAY!!!

WHO SAYS HOMESCHOOLERS CAN'T HAVE FUN?!!?!

I FINISHED ALL OF MY CLASSES!!! After the end of the school year we have a parents night where we show our parents what we have done that year. After we had a really fun dance. We danced until 11:00.. It was SO much fun. My knees hurt so bad. The next morning (at five am.) I went and babysat. When I had to take the baby downstairs I sat on my bottom and put him on my lap and scooted down the stairs, because my legs still hurt... Ha~ha... I had WAY to much fun!!!
Me and one of my best~est friends Ashelyn
Sh~weet!!! My other best~est friend Karlee! (Karlee and Ashelyn are sisters)
Me and Josh dancing... I forgot the name of the dance
haha, do you like the hat? Chase gives different people a hat every time he goes to a party... I swear he has like a million hats... He is always wearing one. He gave this hat to Karlee, but because her hair was in a bun, she couldn't wear it. So I got to wear it for the night!


Heck yes!! Gansta!!!
I was SO tired by the end of that night!! It was WAY fun!!!! (I look freaky in this picture!! ha~ha) I LOVE MY FRIENDS!!!!! <3

rIVer fUN!!!! :)

Laura had a birthday party and it was SO much fun!!! We went to the river behind barefoot gymnastics

We had yummy cupcakes... but most of it got smeared on other people.... Ha~ha


Then we played in the mud (Me and Ashelyn) the mud smelled like poop!! no joke!!!



good thing there was a nice little waterfall to wash off in..... (I still went home and took a nice long shower...) behind this waterfall was a little tunnel... it was really neat. you could go behind it and walk around

Do you see my shirt? look at the first picture and then this one.... my white shirt is now Grey... my shirt still smells like poop, even after washing it. yuck.

I had frosting and lots of mud in both ears.. it was pretty gross. but overall I had an AWESOME time!!!!!

*one of my favorite quotes from that day was by Nicholas... "Bonnie you have a little something on your rear end..." haha I had a big glob of purple frosting....

Misummer Nights Dream!!!

This year for our homeschool class we put on "Midsummer Nights Dream" I had soo much fun! I played the part as Puck (Iwas double cast with Laura.... She is so much fun! When I wasn't Puck I was a fairy) Ali and Brett were little fairies, and they were so cute.... after the play this old man came up to me and said " You did such a good job! You were like a musquito on steriods! " I was laughing really hard.. i am not sure whether a musquito on steriods is a good thing or a bad thing!! Ha~ha. I LOVED being Puck!!

Love you laura! Ha~ha
hangin' around before the play.. (like my piggytails? Ha~ha. That is how i did my hair for Puck)
