Another Volleyball Weekend. =)

Well, I am behind in my blogging but here are some pics and a couple videos from last weekend. We went to Crater to play some volleyball. We spent quite a bit of time at the truck stop waiting for Jeff to come back so we could go back to the game. We ran into someone from church that needed some help so that's what we did. Long story short, we waited at the truck stop played games, laughed, made people look at us funny...all good things. =)


This is me and nana playing a clapping game. Here is Nana trying to smile and keep her eyes open so I could take a picture.

Chels being goofy!

MAM! =) She's so cute!

So here is just a bit of Lyns playing.

And here is Nana and Chels playing the clapping game. At the end she's real cute and says "Oh I messed up" Ha.

While I'm at it...

I'd like to introduce you to mr or mrs catepillar. I don't know which. Ha!
My dad found this outside and brought it in to show me.Everything deserves a name so I call it...Harold if it is a boy and Etta if it's a girl.
you decide. =) It was interesting.

Let's play ball...

Volleyball that is. =)


Not this last weekend but the weekend before I was able to travel with the family up to Albany to watch Lyns play volleyball. She played amazing!

On the way up I think...I caught him offgaurd. This is dribbler as we like to call him. Lynsey's boyfriend.

Well this was just kinda creepy cause it looks like she was frozen and time was rushing around her. Kinda trippy.
Here is a video of just one of the great hits she got.

=)

Happy day of my birth.

So I am WAY behind in my blogging lately. Sorry about that. Here are some pictures of my birthday dinner. My dad, Rick, Xavier, Nevaeh, Linda, Rusty, and I went to Carlos for dinner.


Here is me taking my own picture while I blow out the candle.
Rick and I on the way home.

My birthday cake that Linda got for me. It says Zippy that's what she calls me.

Nevaeh and I on the way home. I miss her!

This was like the millionth picture...he was not into it at all.

Linda and I =)

Rusty or Dusteeeeeee as I like to call him and I. =)

My dad and I =) =)

Rick and I.

I hate this part. =(

I am having a horrible time!
I hate goodbye's!
I hate when people leave me!

I am starting to wonder if this ever gets easier...
I love when my family comes to visit...but then I almost dread it...just for the simple fact I hate the part when I have to say goodbye to them.
I prepare myself days ahead that I will see them again, and tell myself not to cry.
However, it never works..I can never get through it the way I want to...I always end up blubbering like a baby.

So tonight...in about 3 hours and 15 minutes my cousin and the kids are loading up and heading home...and even typing this I find myself tearing up and getting myself all worked up.

So, I wonder...does it ever get easier?
I feel like not ever getting close to people because I don't like it when they leave me...and everyone is bound to leave at some point.
People come and go and it is a reality that you have to face...but I can never get the hang of it.

So I sit here...and wait...to say goodbye. =(

Hiking....

Today we went on a hike...
So here are some pictures of that and some other cute ones.
Enjoy! =)


Me and X-man trying to get a nice picture to send grandmaSmiling for the girls.

Love him!

On the way to the waterfall...you'd think this would have been afterwards.

The sun was so pretty today.



=)

She said "Take a picture of me like this" so I did.

The waterfall we went to. (Susan Creek Falls

Cheese =)

What you doin down there?

Kisses =)

He makes me smile. =)

On the way home...the sun was pretty. =)

Shooting.

Sunday afternoon I sent my dad and Rick up the mountain and the rest of us took naps while we waited them to return. My dad took him up 4 wheeling =) They ended up tipping the rhino over and getting a little muddy...but they had lots of fun. After they got back we loaded up again and headed back up to shoot some stuff. =) Me and X-man sat in the back on the way up and then we switched on the way back. It was my first time ever shooting a gun so it was fun and kinda scary. I actually did pretty good. =) But, that was about it for us on Sunday. So here are the pics...enjoy! =)















Me and X-man riding in the back...along with all the stuff that we were going to shoot =)

I took that while sitting in the back of the rhino with my arm stretched around...I was impressed.

Everyone standing around...it looks like Nevaeh is jumping...but she wasn't.

I liked the rifle better...this was the first time I shot this gun.

My dad shooting...

Letting the kids "shoot"

He thought he was really shooting.

I just really like this...

We have mastered our funny faces.

Haha! The timer works. I forgot the first time to press the button...

He wanted Uncle Jerry to let him play with the remote control jeep.


The family has been GREAT to have...I'm gonna miss them! They are headed back after my birthday. Hopefully it won't be so long until the next time we see them!
