Camping North Fork 2014

Here's the deal.  It's the 24th of July...2015.  And Dave's fam is in town for the weekend, but while they're our watching some fireworks, I'm here with my sleeping babes updating this space from a trip a while ago.  So much time has passed that I will just let the pictures do the talking.  It was a simple little trip, but that's all it really takes.

Summer Road Trip

I love watching these videos after I make them.  And I love searching for just the right song.  Anyway, we did mostly video on our little road trip up North.  And I actually got it completed and uploaded this week!  Go Me!

Enjoy.

Catching up on fun times isn't going to happen by itself...and to be honest, it might not happen at all.  Eek!  I don't know where life is taking me that I have no time to just glance through my pics, but when I do, ugh!  That weighty feeling that I am messing up, not documenting the details, and uggggghhhh--the guilt.  So, in the spirit of that *guilt* here are some pictures of our trip up to McCall, ID last summer for Dave's Fam Reunion (just the brothers and sisters, but when you have 9 siblings, you call it a Family Reunion).

Highlights include:
-a 12 hr drive that should have been a 7 hr drive, because of the 2 lane road and an accident.  This is where Jude and Leland decided to scream at the top of their lungs repeatedly just for fun.
-A huge house where we all could hang.
-Drinking wine out of the bottle in the huge master bedroom closet and watching Outlander with all the SIL...just so that the kids/husbands wouldn't find us and bug us. ;)
-The clouds.  It was unseasonably cold the weekend we went, but oh my goodness, such beautiful views and the clouds just stole my heart.
-A $90 speeding ticket  that wouldn't have happened had we not missed a turn, but hey we're rich. ;)

Anyway, nearly a year ago, the main thing that strikes me is just how blonde Leland's hair is.  Goodness, he was such a baby!   Here are the pics.

Halloween Time 2015

This year, Jude had 2 different costumes.  I, of course, got in the way and tried to sway him in his decision of what he wanted to be...because we already had a Hulk costume (OK, OK, we also already had a Batman costume, but it was 5 sizes too big and DARK as hell, and I got worried he'd get run over.  Truth).  Anyway, I convinced Jude to be Hulk, which he was for his preschool performance.  But, then a few days after, he was talking to me in the car, and had some legitimate concerns about how Hulk always had "those angry eyebrows."  Soooo, we had a last minute, day-off costume change using what we had around and a BRIGHT printed out Batman logo.  Turned out pretty cute!

Leland wore the homemade Owl costume that is my very F-A-V-E, and just needed to get worn one last time.  So damn cute.  He was all bidness getting that candy, running/waddling to keep up with the big kids.  He is one determined little child.
