Senior Pics 2014
Finally found time to take Walter out to do his senior pictures. I am pleased with how they turned out. It was fairly painless too!

Prom 2014
I can't believe that these adult-looking children are my babies! LOL
One graduates in just a few weeks and the other just one more year!

Fishing Buddies

Floating on the Caddo
This weekend we took Rosey out again. This time we decided to take advantage of the predicted rain and do a float trip. We have not taken the kayaks out this season yet. It's just hard to find time for "fun".
I did a little research and found a campsite on the river near the bridge in Glenwood. Samuel and I took the camper up when he got out of school on Friday. This was my first time taking Rosey out by myself. I have to tell you that Sam and I backed her in and set her up completely be ourselves!
Tim followed us with the kayaks when he got off work. Walter joined us on Saturday.
Our float on Saturday was cloudy and a bit cold. If you ask Sam, it was probably extremely cold, as he was the only one to fall in.
The river level was up a little, enough for the float to be fun.
We floated again on Sunday and the sun cooperated. The weather was warmer and the float much more enjoyable. I love this view!
On our way down the river we saw 87 turtles (yes, we kept count), 2 snakes and one sweet little dog.
He was determined to follow us. And follow us, he did, for about 5 or 6 miles of our float. He would run along one side of the river until it would get impassable, then he would swim to the other side and keep following us. There were a few times he would just bail off into the river and swim after us. I felt sorry for him and finally just pulled him into my kayak where he would ride for a while. Then after he rested, he would jump out and run along beside us again. Sam and I named him Pumpernickel, Nick for short. He followed us to our campsite where he was rewarded with a bowl of leftover scrambled eggs and sausage. After a nap in the sun and a good head scratch, he was on his way, wherever that might be. Good luck, Nick.

Jefferson Ridge
How in the world did I miss blogging about this?
The first weekend in April, we took Rosey out for her second voyage. We camped for the weekend (April 3-5) at Jefferson Ridge at Dierks Lake. It was a lovely area.
Tim brought the boat. He and Walter spent a lot of time fishing. Sam and I just enjoyed.
Mom and Trista visited us for the day on Saturday. We introduced Trista to the game Yahtzee. She loved it. After winning, she was declared the Yahtzee princess.
There was only one casualty. Tim dropped his phone in the lake! Luckily it was in a shallow area. He jumped in quickly and retrieved it. By chance, I happened to have a bag of rice in the camper. A lucky break! After 24 hours in the rice bag, his phone lived again.
Sam and I enjoyed time on our bikes. You may notice Sam is sporting his new cruiser bike.
Our camper is small but can sleep four people, barely! When those four people are all adult size, like my crew is, that camper gets a bit cramped. We tried something new this time and brought our tent for the boys. It was a wonderful for all of us!
And of course, no post about camping would be complete without a picture of my grillmaster!
A wonderful trip. I'm sure we will be visiting Jefferson Ridge again soon.

A Sweet Moment
As much as I love my DSLR, it usually takes thought and time to get it out and use it. On the other hand, my phone is always handy. And luckily, I love my camera on my phone. The following picture is an example of why.
A sweet moment caught. Kale and his Uncle Walter sharing time watching videos on Walter's iphone.
If I had tried to go get my "good" camera, I would have missed this sweet moment.
So many people want to know which camera is a "good" one. Like the camera makes the picture. I tell you, it's the people on the other end of the lens that "make" picture.

Where to begin?
After the longest hiatus in my blogging history, where should I begin?
Well, Kale, of course!
He and Jade went fishing yesterday. He loved it.
It reminds me of someone else....not too long ago! Kale is even using the same fishing pole that Walter did!

Band Banquet 2013
This is a horrible picture, but I had to post it. It is the only one I got of all three.
Katelyn and Samuel were each other's dates for the banquet. They are such close friends and have been for so long.
I love this picture of them from years ago.
Katelyn and Samuel today.

My New Hobby
Our family has a new hobby. I alluded to it earlier.
We are now a family of bicyclers.
Jamie and I bought cruisers. The boys and Tim have mountain bikes.
Not that we have any mountains to climb, literally speaking. I, personally, would rather cruise through life. LOL
But I do know this, I'm excited about my new hobby. This kind of exercise doesn't seem so much like exercise. I feel like I'm in training. In training for several trips in the future, where I will take my bikes along. I can't wait!
