great quotes...

"When we choose not to focus on what's missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present...we experience heaven on earth."

"Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't."

"We LIVE, We DIE and the WHEELS on the BUS go round and round."

"I Do My Thing and You Do Your Thing. I Am Not In This World To Live Up To Your Expectations, And You Are Not Here TO Live Up To Mine. You Are You, And I Am I, And If By Chance We Find Each Other, It's BEAUTIFUL."

Ultimately, LOVE isn't something you say. It's something you have to do and the BEST KIND takes years. -KIRBY

Grant me PATIENCE to deal with my BLESSINGS!!

Love is the many small moments that make up a lifetime of happiness...

Life is about making mistakes, Death is about wishing you had made more!

I was made to find you, I was made just for you, made to adore you, I was made to love and be loved by you . You were here before me, You were waiting on me and you said you'd keep me. Never would you leave me. I was made to love and be loved by you!

Never miss out on the PRESIOUS PRESENT MOMENTS!

Mean what you say, say what you mean, mean what you say & drop it!

Love is that which is unlimited. There is no beginning and no end to it. No before and no after. Love always was, always is, and always will be!

have super nice cameras so we went and
had some fun with her girls...didn't dare take all
the kids that could have been a nightmare for

us we took about 450 pictures...these are just a few
that i took and thought were fun...
this is shelby lynn...this one is going in the fair
next year...love it...
this is shelby as well...she doesn't have many teeth
at this point so getting her to smile is a little difficult...

of these 3 cuties...i thought the chain was
way fun...she is such a ham...follow the leader...so dang cute...
this is ashley dawn...she is the dancer and
singer of the crew...and she also is a
doll....loved the cement wall...by this point they were pooped and ready to go home
and i didn't have the right lenses on my camera
so i couldn't get far enough away but it still
turned out wonderful...love the bright flowers and
cute girls and the green green grass...
this one has to be my favorite...can't quite figure out
what the conversation is all about but it must
have been very very serious...love it...the red brick
was awesome as well...
love you girls tons and tons...thanks for the
fun time...

the rhino goes OVER...

so this was the scene labor day weekend when
a few of the kids had disappeared...they walked back to
camp to tell us that they had rolled the rhino on
its side if you can believe it...we couldn't until
we got here and YEP...they had rolled it...
HOW might you ask did they do it??

doing donuts over and over and over and then
decided to come out of the donut to fast and with a
somewhat flat/low air pressure tire it just went
right over....
check out ashley's face...they were pretty DIRTY...
they were all smiles...and good thing they had
there seatbelts on and nobody got hurt...
PS...they are all still alive and they didn't get in
to much touble...thank goodness...
