Randy and Carrie:

I was sitting in the seat in front of them, and I'd hold the camera over my head and just take pictures, not knowing what they'd look like, right???
LOL-
Look at some of the amazing shots I got!!!

That's Richie next to Carrie. We grew up with him, so he's like family.
We were on our way to the temple in Baton Rouge. This was last Friday...
There was my mom and dad, me and Josh, Robyn, Carrie and Randy, Richie, and then Keli met us up there too. We went to King Buffet first. It was YUMMY!!!


Carrie is hilarious. I have been hanging out with her a lot and I love it.

I wish I had taken pictures of what happened the NEXT day-Last saturday Julian got to go to the temple for his first time!!! It was so awesome. Josh is the Stake Young Men's President, and he organized a stake youth temple trip. 40 kids were there!! It was wonderful. My parents offered to watch Emily for me so I could go too.

Okay- look at this next set of pictures....

I was standing in the kitchen, and I look over and there's Josh-
but how in the heck is he even doing that? LOL
He would have had to be balancing on the wall somehow, Spiderman style to be that high up.
I was laughing so hard, I made him stay put so I could get a picture.

Lately

I made a collage on canvas-
some of the pictures are kind of old but that's okay!!

josh and julian working on julian's science experiment. he studied aerodynamics and the functions of all of the parts of a plane.

He'd launch the plane, then measure how far it went, first just the body- then the body and the tail wing, then the body and the main wing, etc. etc.

I have no idea why my pictures aren't loading in order:

oh well!!!

Me and my Julian:

These pictures were taken last weekend, actually. We went to Albasha's- a Greek restaurant. we are LOVING Greek food lately. It is so yummy. Josh looks sleepy here and Emily has vampire eyes, LOL

Annie is looking good as new lately!!! Isn't she the cutest cocker spaniel you ever saw????

I made book covers for my scriptures!

Sunset Point

I hardly ever ask my kids to pose, but I might start doing it more often.... I love this picture!

They look so beautiful here!

He is so gorgeous.

Goin' out 4 custard

We LOVE the custard stand out by the camp. It's like heaven in a cone!!!

My Mom merely said "Hmmm, you know what sounds good right now? Some custard."

5 minutes later, my Dad was in the car, calling out "Custard on me, Who's coming?"
We all piled in QUICK! LOL

Hayden is such a cutie pie!

Julian and Madie

My sweet parents, Willard & Anita

Sweetest baby alive: Alice McKenzie- I love her!!!!!

It's pretty funny when we all pile into the camp for a meal. LOL

Christy! She is so cute in her braids and her beanie hat!

Keli- my sweet lovely sister!

Carrie &Randy 4eva We LOVE playing Whacky 6!! It is such a fun card game!!!

My Mom brought her Karaoke equipment out to the camp. We had a blast singing. Robyn sings so pretty...

Check out the crazy bun on my head. Almost all of the pictures of me are taken BY me.

So Cori shot some rabbits...and my Dad cooked up a rabbit stew. It was DELICIOUS...My parents can cook just about anything and make it taste like a gourmet meal.

but hold on...Robyn didn't have any on her plate...HMMMM....yeah, my Dad fried some chicken for the kids. Look at her plate! A chicken leg!!! Those Westerners....She wouldn't eat the seafood gumbo either! LOL

Josh, Annie, and my Dad. I want a porch swing. They're the best.

Carrie can make some faces now!

Check out Cori's plate. He did a good job cleaning those rabbits. I watched. It was sick.

my crazy family

Hey, everybody gather "round! Uncle Randy's going to show us how to gut and clean a deer. Seriously, yall...it was disturbing!!! And we all watched, even the baby. LOL
Julian's reaction was priceless:

Carrie

And Cori- hmmmm....

We have had some fun with that wig! LOL

Kevin in the wig...ROFL

wow

Who put the coyote skull on the scare crow??? DISTURBING!!!!

New Year's Eve

I love this picture of Emily and Ella:

Carrie, Keli, and me all crowded in front of the closet mirror. That's one of my favorite things about the camp! The close proximity to everyone I love. We have had lots of good talks right there in that closet!! LOL
