24th of July

We spent the 24th of July at the Cabin. We had a great time relaxing, eating lots of good food, and enjoying family. The highlight of the trip was the Rattlesnake! Kelsey, Jeff's sister came across it when she was headed out for a 4 wheelin ride. It was a pretty big one! Jeff's dad killed it and cut its head off. It was kind of scary knowing that is was right by the cabin, Despite my dislike for the creature and its creepiness, I held the dead the dead thing! Don't believe me??? I have a picture to prove it!

Bee Stings and Sunburns

We have been the house of pain for the last couple of days. We went to Seven Peaks on Saturday and if you recall it was 102 degrees that day, great day for the water right?, more like a perfect day to get a killer sunburn! Jeff and I both got cooked pretty bad. When it hurts to shower, lift your arms above your head, and sleep is near impossible then you know you got taken by the sun pretty good! Now here comes the bee sting part of the story. On Sunday when we got home, we were walking in from the garage and Lucy spotted a bee on ground, she started playing with it and Jeff saw her, so he killed it. We were thinking she was lucky and didn't get stung, cause she didn't wimper or anything. As we were getting ready for church about thirty minutes later, Jeff looked at Lucy and her Left side of her mouth was swollen! It was huge compared to the other side of her mouth. The bee got her after all!! It was so funny looking I couldn't help, but laugh at her! Here are some pics of fat mouth Lucy and sun kissed Ashlee!

The traditional Lucy Hair Do

I think the cutest part of our puppy is her crazy curly fro she has on top of her head. She is in serious need of a hair cut, so her fro is extra long. I tormented the poor dog and played with her hair. We bobby pinned it, put it in a pony and fluffed it up. The things you do when you are bored and you have a puppy around! Which one is your favorite?!

Weekend with the boys

This weekend we had my nephews Zach and Josh up for a sleepover. We had a great time with them eating pizza, playing video games till midnight! That was new record for them! We went to the Willow Park Zoo on Saturday and had lunch in the park. Here are some pics from the weekend.

Update on the Garden

Thank heavens for Miracle Grow! We found our first little green tomato the other day. We are crossing our fingers that we will continue to find more! Our flowers are doing well, but the cucumbers are questionable??? It is good thing we don't depend on this garden for our lively hood!

Four Wheeling at Five Mile Pass

This weekend we went Four wheeling at Five Mile Pass with my Family. We had a great time! Some rode 4 wheelers and some rode motorcycles. It was fun to watch my brothers be bats out of hell on their motorcycles. Five mile pass is surrounded by a bunch of old mine shafts. Jeff, my niece and I went on the hunt to find one. We finally did and it was awesome to look down in it. They have them covered up with steel bars and beams so you can actually walk across the hole that goes hundreds and hundreds of feet down into the earth. I was freaked out! I love that summer is finally here and that we are able to go do fun stuff like this with our families.

Memorial Weekend

Well in my family we procrastinate Memorial Weekend. In doing this we end up camping in my Dads backyard! It actually was pretty fun. We made tinfoil dinners, and roasted marshmallows in the rain! Jeff and I had the party tent while all the others went to bed, we had my 3 nieces stuffed in our little 2 man tent playing phase ten. We woke up the next morning to pancakes, bacon, eggs, the whole works. It was great! Once our belly's were good and full, Jeff and I attempted a float tube fishing trip with our dog Lucy at Rockport. Even though we didn't have any luck with catching fish, Lucy made it entertaining! We brought a little raft so that she could come out in the water with us, but oh no she did not want her own raft, she wanted to sit right on my lap. She jumped out of hers swam over to mine and jumped up on it soaking wet!! It was hilarious, the water had to be freezing cold! After our adventurous fishing trip, we went to Jeff's parents for a yummy steak dinner, a great way to end a fun weekend.
