Baking with Jen

One of my yw came and baked stuff with me. Yeah, she was really messy. This is when she got powdered sugar All over.

Her pretending to eat my creation... I am one amazing baketress.

This is my creation, it is awesome. I don't know how it tasted on account of I didn't eat it.

Jamo doing what he does best... making cookies. This is why I got so fat. Mmmmm, cookies.

Jen eating the brownies. It was a night of desert mayhem... Oy.

October

Sometimes when the weather gets bad (which happened a lot in october) I would come home from work and make me some of this and read me some harry potter. Good times and good hot chocolate.

This is me at work, being ever so bored. Somedays are really slow and I just sit there waiting for people to come and get there pictures taken. So sometimes I get bored and take me own pictures.


So every once in a while this fall we had a nice day. About one every two weeks. It was the wettest October on record. I hope to never see rain again. Here are a few pictures of when we actually got to go outside.

This is a tree in Holly's front yard.

This is emily on someone's bike. Yay for being outside!

Aiden was making a face on the tree out of different things like acorns and umm tape? I think I used to be creative and have an imagination too.

Me and holly's boys went to the park one day. We took a walk by a lake and saw some ducks. I need zoom on my camera on my phone.

My Birthday

I know I'm a couple of months late on posting these pictures, but yeah, that's how I roll. This is me at El Magueys. On your birthday they give you free fried ice cream, but first they insist on putting it all over your face. It's fun. And I love me some mexican food.

Jamo and I eating at "gooeys". Oh, they also make you were a silly hat. Silly picture. Man we got fat...

Dad gave us the old raft. It has a small leak which I plan to find and fix (it's a slow leak though!) So we took it out on the lake when we went camping at cuivre river. Next time we will remember to bring ores... paddling with your hands is awesome.

This is my birthday morning. Yup, that's a birthday doughnut and yup, those are matches on top. We lacked candles on our camping trip.

The problem with lighting matches is, it doesn't work very well, especially when it's windy outside. So mostly I just ate the doughnut.

This is our morning fire to eat some breakfast s'mores on. Mmmmm, s'mores. I could really go for some of those right now.

This is what happens when you forget your camping can opener at home. But with the help of a key and an ax, you can totally get into the can. We did this with both the cherry pie filling (for pie irons, yum) and the pineapple to put in the pie iron pizzas.
The night before (my pictures are backwards, silly). We took a hike up Frenchman's Bluff. This is the view from the top and me uh, doing stuff.
Jamo at the top of Frenchman's Bluff. The way back down got pretty dark. It's a nice thought to go and watch the sunset there (it was pretty), but then you have to think about the way down. We should have thought more and brought flashlights. Lots of adventures.

Jamo half way up to the top. It was a pretty hike full of nature and trees and stuff. I think that's Cuivre River behind him.

This is the stick bug that I picked up when gathering kindling. Yeah, I thought it was a real stick and it wasn't, it was squishy. I was grossed out. It is by far the biggest slash fattest stick bug I've ever encounted in my life. Cool, but eww.

This is Jamo trying to put together the tent. He's getting better at it. He never really went camping as a kid (only with the boyscouts, which is completely different and doesn't count). So now I get to make him do all sorts of silly fun camping stuff with me, yay!

This is our tent, it's awesome. It was a beautiful day when we went (which just doesn't seem to happen a lot this year) and so everyone was there. When we got there, there was only like 3 spots left. This site was decieving. It looked really small, but when you got in, you realized that you got to bring your tent down the trail far away from other campers, it was awesome!

Jamo blowing up the raft to see if it even worked. I think we need a new pump, or a lot of duct tape. It took a while, but we figured it out...

This is the forrest from the car. Kind of a fun picutre, it's like you're driving there. Woooooooooooo!
