a quick trip...

My sister Alayna had another conference in Orlando.  That's great for me because we got to see each other for the 3rd time this year!!  It was only dinner and chatting, but we had a great time!

Alayna, Furry and I getting chummy at Dave and Busters.  When we left Oregon, we also left Furry.  Thank you Auntie Alayna for bringing him back!

Blaine won a ton of tickets and was able to purchase a marshmallow shooter.  Whooo whooo!

Best buds :)....

oh me....

Blaine started at a new school this year.  He's been having a great time so far but came home yesterday and asked;

"Mom, what's co-nudity?"
me - "Uhhhh, wait....what did you say?"
"Co-nudity."
me - "I don't know Blaine, are you sure that's the right word?"
"Yeah...it is."

By this point, I'm thinking Blaine's new school is a little too "free-lovin".  And I'm also starting to panic because I know that if I tell Mike, he's going to flip his lid!

So today he comes home and says;

"Mom, I know what the word is now.  It's community!"

Crisis averted!!!!!!!

3 weeks already?

Yet again, my pictures are all out of order.  Michael stayed with us for the first week, but I haven't uploaded those yet.....so backwards we go!

Blaine and I at the lake.  It was a gorgeous day (as you can see)!  It was quite peaceful since we were the only ones fishing.  We're wearing sweaters because it can get a little chilly up there, even in the middle of summer!

We make this trip every year, and every year Blaine falls asleep in the back of Papa's truck.  It's a bumpy ride too...I don't know how he does it!!!

"I'm a model, you know what I mean....."  Struck a pose for sure.

He's enjoying the view.

We interrupt this fishing trip with a picture of Blaine petting the neighbor cow!  He named all three Booty, Tooty and Buck.  Don't ask because I don't know.  Whenever they saw him coming, they'd run right over (usually because he'd bring food).

King of the mountain!!!

Making a silly face....looks like a member of Kiss actually.

Oma was the only one to catch a fish!  Papa left his pole to use the bathroom and when he got back, my mom was reeling this dude in.  It was pretty funny!

Still water.....

More later (I hope).  Toodles!
