Camp Day 1

Well this week we started camp! We have to wake up at 6:00, so that we can leave by 6:45, so that we can pick up Sarah since she does not have a car, then we have to drive to Durham!(I think this is a run on sentience...but I don't care!) I did not get any pictures today, but I promise you I will have some in tomorrow post. Here is some of the exciting things that happened today!

* I got to see my teacher who I LOVE and have not seen since the middle on May! She is an amazing teacher and I am so blessed to have her!!

* I got to help kids with their violin. I have not done this since the end of May, so it was great fun, even if one the kids is making faces at you the whole time or you try to help a kid who plays the viola! Don't try to do this...it will only make matters worst!:)

*One of the kids got mixed up and ended up with another group.When we were dividing into groups, I got one girl who was suppose to be with group #2, so I told my group(#1) to stop and wait so we could get her back to her group. Then the little boy in group #3 decided to come with group #1, since he thought that was his group. Then he got mixed up in the group that was walking in front of us and did not comprehend, that his group had stopped!(But it was not really his group.) So he went to the wrong room, with the wrong group! Then he started sobbing! So that group leader Micheal brought him to our group and said this is your group...them Jessica the leader of group #2 came looking for the little boy and said no he goes to group #2. Anyway, he did get back to his group, and I don't think he got in the wrong group anymore...at least not with me!:)

*One of the little kids tried to drink out of the fountain in the lobby....no, this was NOT a drinking fountain, but a just for looks fountain!!! My mother quickly saved him!:)


* One little girl dumped grass on one of the assistant. The assistant response was "Why did you do that." Little girl,"Because Micheal said to, he said you liked it." Assistant,"Not everyone likes grass." Little girl walks back and said to Micheal, " That girl so strange, she does not like nature.":)

*I got asked by someone who works in the Duke music department when my wedding is or if I had already gotten married!! I said that was my sister and that she had just gotten married. The funny part is..we know the women who asked, and she was looking right at me! I don't look that much like Sarah!:)

Well....that about covers what happened today!

Wordless Weekend!

Just for Laughts!:)

At The Orthodontist!

As most of you guys know I am getting my braces on July 9!! Before I get them on they have to take ex rays and get molds of my teeth, along with putting spacers in my mouth. Today I went for the last time before I am getting my braces on, I thought they were only doing the molds...but no they were doing spacers too!! Oh, the joy!:) Anyway, I got watermelon flavor mold of my mouth that has been named Aunt Susie!:) Getting the mold did not hurt, I was freezing so my teeth were chattering, but everything went well for the molds. (I had just taken a shower before we left and my hair was still wet.) So after the molds we got ex rays, and that too went fine. Lastly, we had to do the spacers!!! Oh the pain! The lady doing them(Sandy) had to push down so much her fingers had the indention of my teeth.:) I am warning you, if you are getting braces soon, spacers hurt!

I took a picture of my mouth to show you the spacers.
I will have them in until July 9.

I have four on the top and four on the bottom.
I know this is a scary picture of me!;)
My teeth also don't look clean in the
picture it's from making the mold.

After we got everything done at the orthodontist, we picked Sarah up for lunch and went to Miltons. It was the worst place I could have eaten after getting spacers!! I sat there and tried to eat pizza, I really tried...but I think all I did was hurt my mouth more! So when we got to Sarah's house after lunch, I got some pain medication and that did not help at all! Oh, well. The only thing that helps is sucking on ice.:)

The joy of going to the Orthodontist!:)

*If anything is missed spelled...it's because all the pain medication did was make me more crazy then I already am!:)*

Happy Birthday Mom!

*William took all my pictures and put them on another
computer,so that is why there is only one picture.*

Happy 22nd Birthday Sarah!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!
I love you SO much and miss you!!!!!

Also Happy 18th Birthday to my friend Kara!!!!
Kara I really miss you!! hope you have a wonderful birthday!!!

Happy Birthday!

Matthew is turning eight today!!!:)

Samuel and I were trying to find his new violin song on you tube and couple weeks ago. We found his song and then found this song! We laughed and laughed over this!:) The violinist and pianist are so talented! The pianist wrote the song they are playing!
Enjoy!:)

Sunday Volleyball!:)

Elliott and Oliver getting ready to spike it, which one will get it?

Elliott spiking it.

John Paul serving

Elliott and Meredithe running
in to each other to get the ball.:)

BJ, looked after everyone's
ties and shirts, along with shoes.
He also helped me get water for people.

I think John Paul just hit it, but I'm not sure.

Elliott spiking the ball

It looks like John Paul hit Oliver because of the
facial expressions Oliver is making!:)

Sam and Nick making a deal in the middle of the game.

I was going through the pictures to find some to post,
when I saw this one and started laughing so hard!
Sam and Nick look SO funny!:)

I am not really sure whether Meredith
is going to hit the ball or if Elliot got it?

Sam and Nick again look really funny in this picture,
then again every picture I have of Nick and Sam
they are doing something silly!;)

Sam looks like he is doing some kind of Indian war dance!;)

Meredith, Anna, and Abigail

Abigail looks like she is doing some kind of
strange dance...maybe the chicken dance? I think the Taylor's like to dance when playing volleyball!;)


It was a wonderful afternoon,
other then getting very sunburn, right now I look like a raccoon!:)

What Are You?:)

Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Redneck? Here is a little test that will help you decide.

The answer can be found by posing the following question:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

..............................

.............................
Democrat's Answer :



Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.

Republican's Answer:

Abigail & Rebekah's Concert!

Yesterday after Church I went home with the Taylor's, so that I could attend their concert. Once we got back to their house I helped Ms. Patty do Abigail's hair. OK, all I did was give Ms. Patty hair gel or Bobby pins, I would not really call that helping.
So after Abigail's hair was done and Rebekah was all warmed up, we left for Cherry Hill.

Once we got their Abigail and Rebekah warmed up together...

While BJ and I took funny pictures of each other!;)

Then we each took a picture of the other one, taking a picture!

I did not get any pictures during the concert, that weren't blurry.
They both played great and Abigail sang amazingly!
I don't know why she was so worried!:)


Abigail and her Mama

Trust me, if Abigail ever tries to show

Abigail and Rebekah in front of Chery Hill

After their concert we went and surprised our friend Emily,
who's birthday was Friday. It was so good to see her again,
and I have a lot of fun talking with her!



Oh, before I end this post, I have something to day! I got to see Sweet thing! She is so much cuter then in her pictures, and her ears are so big and fluffy!!!!
As you can tell, I am a dog person I love,love,love dogs or puppies!:)

How in the world!?!

Yesterday my family went to the Oxford Library. Our family loves to read and go to the library! Anyway we have not been to the Oxford Library for about 2 years. Since we used to be in Wake County at least twice a week and their library had a better book selection then Oxford, we just got a library card. (We all have cards to the Oxford library too.) So when we got to the Oxford Library I went up to the Librarian and asked if she could check and see if I have any finds on my card.

Well I did...

and guess



how much it was for!?!?











$50!!!!!!

I don't know how I could have that many finds?
We have not been in two years!
So I am excepting donations to pay off all my library finds, anyone who wants to help is welcome!
Ha! Just Kidding!;)

*Oh, Molly's card only had $2.50 on hers.

Friends!:)

Today Abigail and Sam came over.
We had a blast doing lots of crazy things, while Sam helped my Dad with stuff.

Here are some pictures of our craziness!:)

Me spinning Abigail, while we are dancing to music!

Abigail and Molly dancing to their song!

Even Nick joined in dancing!

Sam working along with Nick.

Our house got so hot Abigail was about to faint, so we put a fan in front of her.

All our cups were dirty, so we had to drink out of our glass bowls.

Abigail and Molly in the garden.

Molly making Abigail get all of our squash!:)

Abigail, Molly and me on the Hammock...

and then falling off the hammock!

Abigail took a nap of our nice soft carpet, this is when she had just woken up.

BJ, we missed you and wish you could have come too!
You were with us in spirit!;)

All in All I had a wonderful time with her over and if she was here I would gave her joy!!:)
