OUCH!!!!!

I was helping Matt in the yard with one of his projects and it did not go well for my big toe! I bent the nail back about halfway. And I'll just tell you: YES! It hurt!

About one day after it stopped hurting to be touched, I was again out helping Matt and he asked me to run in the house to make a phone call for him. Well, being the helpful person that I am, I literally took off running to get to the house to make his call. My problem began when I missed the bottom step. My toes just barely glanced off the edge, and the rest of me went full tilt onto the steps. I ripped up both shins pretty good. that was July 1. today is July 27. my scab is just about gone, and, well, there are still significant bumps on my shin bones. And again, let me reassure you that YES! it hurt. immensly. I believe I rolled around on the porch with tears streaming from my eyes chanting "it hurts, it hurts, oh how it hurts"

Not sure when this was, exactly, but we were gone for a while and when we got back, Big D just wanted to snuggle.

Big D

He thinks he is a lap dog. He is very happy to sit in laps....He'll even jump up and sit on you in the recliner.

He was chillin with the girls.

And sleeping in their tent castle.

He's a nerd! :0)

Colesy

Who knows. Shelby takes my camera and I never know what is going to be on when I down load!

Self portrait

So, I REALLY liked her hair this day. She ALWAYS wears it pulled back in a pony tail. She hasnt yet grown to appreciate her curls.... So, I wanted to take her picture. She promptly slicks back her hair. So I 'fluffed' it back up - not as good as the original, and they I could NOT make her smile. No way, no how. So here is my pathetic little girl, with pretty hair, who cant smile!

Fire

We had a fire the other night. We were a mess! :) The ground is very soft from all the rain, so our chairs were sinking. Matts solution was putting the wood under each chair leg.
Colesy was trying to play her leapster, but it was too bright out, so her solution was to sit IN the sleeping bag, with it upside down over her head.

The fire was pretty though.

BANG!!!!!

This is the bunny I shot last Sunday. Dumb thing sat there while I missed him the first 3 times! I got him on the 4th though!

First Oil change lesson

While Colesy was sleeping the day away, Matt had Shelby help him change the oil in the car.

I think she enjoyed it for the most part. :)
