My new Car!!!

The search is finally over. I got my car yesterday. This is the first time I have owned a new car that I have to make payments on. I love it! It is a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT. It has all the bells and whistles, including a V8 engine. Daniel is jealous!

Happy Birthday Brian and Ashlynn!

Over the weekend we celebrated Brian and Ashlynn's birthdays. The decision was made to go camping. The spot chose was St. Paul, which offers not only camping but cliff diving as well. It was me, daniel, my mom, dad, jeremy, his girlfriend tyle, candace, brian, adrian, ashlynn, and alden. It was the kids first time camping. Come bedtime Alden was a little confused as to why we werent going home, but he fell asleep and the next morning woke up in the tent with a big smile on his face. We got there Saturday morning and swam/cliff dived all day. Then stayed the night and they swam/cliff dived again Sunday. I was swam/dove Saturday and camped, but left Sunday morning. Daniel just swam/dove Saturday and rode back home. He was going riding that night with some friends and had to take care of the dog. It was fun times. Ashlynn was the first kid to jump off the cliff. Keep in mind she just turned 5. She is such a daredevil. After she jumped Candace(shes 28) and Tyla(15) decided if she can do it, then they can do it. So they jumped too. Soon after Adrian(7) did it. He loved it and did not want to stop. He even went off the zip line. Mom and Brian never jumped but they did swim and float around in the water. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

Back at the campsite we played cornhole, football, ate, made smores, walked down and played volleyball, played some cards with the kids. It was fun. Ashlynn opened her gifts. She got a barbie horse and carrage, a t-shirt of her boyfriend (justin bieber), and I got her a digital camera. A real one so she better now loose/break it. She loves taking pics and always steals mine and mamas cameras. Now she has her own. She loved it. She even gave uncle daniel a hug and thats not usual. Not sure what all brian got, we got him beer.

St. Paul camping can have its problems. Most of the campers are "white trash". The workers warned us of a group down from us. We didnt have any problems until my mom and sister woke me up at 3:30 in the am to try and call the place. They said they had been arguing and there was about to be a fight or something. I didn't hear anything and it didnt wake anyone else up so. But things calmed down and we went to bed. In the morning the loud group packed up and left. Then the group right next to us were roughing around and a guy broke his ankle in 3 places (was taken to hospital). We had a peacefull time though. Well I was scared by the hamburger man. Brian was throwing old food in the woods right next to me, it freaked me out. I ran back up to the campsite and was like did you hear that. He said " did it sound like hamburgers and hot dogs". Jerks!! Then Adrian fell in the fire. He was not playing around the chair just tipped. He hurt his hand and had a mark across his belly. He went to bed crying and in pain, but woke up fine and ready to go! So all in all a good trip!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA, MY BIG SIS, AND CADEN!

Had a three day weekend to do lots of celebrating and family time! It started Saturday. I went to a birthday party for Caden, my friend jenny's son. He turned one on July 4th, but his party was ont he 3rd. It was fun, they had lots of food and cake, even a real live Elmo showed up for the kids to get pics with! Jenny is good at throwing parties. It was neat. After that Daniel and I headed to his dads for the Beech Grove fireworks. The usual cookout with Tandy, Darnell, the kids, Jo, Kayla and her boyfriend, and eventually travis and paul showed up for food. Always good to see family. The kids swam for a little then we ate and waited for the fireworks show. It was a good time as always.


Sunday was America's birthday as well as my big sis birthday. She turned 28 this year. Party was a little different, as it was at her house and not my parents. It was still a very fun time. It was my parents, my brother and his girlfriend, me and daniel, my sisters clan, patsy and joe and joey, chad and ray. Everything went smooth no arguements. We played cornhole, volleyball, and fished. Poor Tyla got hit like 5 times in a row by daniel with the volleyball. Brian found a snake in the water, caught it and then cut its head off. That was pretty scary. There was lots of food that got cooked, almost with a fire. Can't trust them around around a grill. When it finally got dark, they had a great fireworks show. The guys let the big ones off over the pond. I was lighting the little ones for the kids. Did not know it but I burnt my thumb. The blister poped the next day, thats when I realized that I had done it. Long day in the heat, but fun times. I even tried to get a picture with everyone at the party. I left out a few. I couldnt find Ray when I was taking pictures and big joe was sleeping. We all know it would be bad to wake him up and make him mad. So we left that alone.....


Monday was a lazy day. I did not leave the house except to walk Max and go for a little bike ride to get some exercise in. Daniel sat around most of the day with me too. He went to play basketball for a while, but then it was back home to the couch. It was a good relaxing day. Much needed after such an eventfull weekend.

Today is back to work as usual!
