Finally...

ok, since "someone" commented on the lack of updates recently, I thought I would dazzle you all with some pictures and general babble from yours truly:




See, I am still alive and even let other people touch my camera occasionally.




Took this Thanksgiving at my Grandma's - glad I caught this moment, cause other wise no one would have believed me. The two of them can sit next to each other, be nice and not die.




I'm not sure how it's possible but my niece gets more beautiful every time I see her...




man, I love this kid! He has such an amazing personality! Always laughing and smiling... of course he can stir up trouble with the best of them, but it is darn near impossible to get mad at him.




The daughter of one of my cousins - she is such a neat kid...and cute too! :-)




Here's my nephew again... don't you just want to jump in the leaves with him?




My newest nephew... he like coconut cream pie... why I have no idea. But he really likes it.




Here he is again... man I just want to squish those adorable cheeks!

Okay, enough of that for now...

I realized I never posted any of the pictures from the last time we went riding... remember I use the term "we" very loosely... I just walk around taking pictures and try not to get my ass ran over. now, usually I can handle the boys showing off; jumping riding fast - throwing mud and dirt. But this day...this day they scared me. See for yourself:




Jumping waaaay higher than usual...



running right up on each other...as they are jumping...



darn near turning over...while jumping...



almost going head-first into the ground...while jumping. I'll point out, that it was at this point that I had myself utterly convinced that we were going to the emergency room on this day. Thankfully, we didn't but...damn! the boys were all determined to scare the crap out of me! I think they were doing it on purpose... they won't admit it, but I think they were.



By the way...these two... not scary at all!

more later...

p.s. I am packing and getting ready to move, so look for pics and updates on that ordeal coming soon. :-)
