Camping...
So this last weekend, Jamie's family went camping in Kimbolton, Ohio. We stayed at a resort that had tons of fun stuff to do. We made it up there Thursday evening around 8:15 pm. While Papa Murphy was coming down to show us where the cabin was, Jamie's brother Jeff decide to build the fire of all fires!! He decided to use gas to start the fire... (that was an expensive fire starter!). But anyway I guess it got a little out of control. Jamie's Mom ran out with a pan of water... it didn't do anything to the fire. In her defense, she didn't realize the size of the fire... Jordie, Jamie's 6 year old nephew was screaming "HELP!!" He was no help! :D But luckily, Jeff saw a fire extinguisher across the dirt road and was able to put it out before our cabin was in flames. Then we get there and there was gas spelled in the dirt road and we drove over it and it kicked up the fumes so we were checking out our car for a gas leak. So I will show pics of the hillside later... it sounds a lot worse than it looks... but the pics are at home.
Then we sat around the cabin's porch and talked. Then took it inside for a game of Catch Phrase. It was good times. Until my curious son came up to me showing me his finger that had blood dripping down and then Jamie saying he thought he was bleeding because there was blood on our bag. Devon grabbed Jamie's can and cut himself but he never cried a single tear... he wanted down to go play. So I had a first aid kit in the car (thanks to Mom!) and it had ointment and bandaids. Then he kept trying to pull the bandaid off. Once the bleeding stopped, we took it off so he didn't put it in his mouth. That put an end to the game and everyone went to their cabins and went to bed.
The next day was filled with mini golf, cornhole, horseback riding (Devon rode his first horse and now points at every horse and says "horse") and swimming. Then we relaxed and I was able to look over what I am getting myself into with school. I looked at the textbooks and I thought I was looking at a foreign language! Hopefully that's not the case once I get started... but that's a whole other blog for another day! But the night ended with eating over at Jeff and Bebe's and taking on another game of Catch Phrase... while I had a migraine and I had my glasses on, but Devon didn't want me to have them on, so when I wouldn't let him, he threw a fit which made the migraine worse! It was a catch 22. He is out of control when he doesn't get his way and he has turned into a big time Mama's boy. I told Jamie's mom, I wasn't coming next time just so Devon would go to everyone else. He did have fun with his cousins though and enjoyed sitting on Mama Murphy's lap while eating Dorito's!! :D

Great minds think alike!!
So I just realized my sis-in-law had the same title on her blog "I'm a Slacker" What can I say? Great minds think alike! :D
I'm a Slacker...
So I can't believe, it has been 5 weeks since I have posted anything. I will have you know, I updated my Facebook and MySpace... so if you have access, please check it out. I posted about 80 new pics on MySpace.
So nothing has changed in live, same stuff, different day. My brother did get married and we had a great time in Salt Lake. It was relaxing and I didn't want to come back to da Nasti Nati. The wedding was beautiful. I did find out the night I went to Utah, I was reading the 1st reading in their wedding. I found out by reading the program! Let me tell you how excited I was... I hate public speaking! And I was cool until I walked up to the podium and looked out at the crowd and then I was like "oh sh!#... don't mess up!!" But I think it turned out well. I'm glad Billy and Becca "asked" me to be a part of their special day... even if I had to read it in the program, it makes it more memorable! It's a story I can tell his kids! But here are some pics taken from the photographers website http://www.opiefoto.blogspot.com/
Yes, my brother is short, balding and gray... but he makes up for it with enthusiam and personality!! :D .... Like I have any room to talk!
