camp blogging trouble

We have made it to church camp! We got here about 5pm Friday. We got the camper set up and then we took the kids over to the playground to play. They had a blast! Now I am the mother with the dirty kids! I couldn't believe how dirty the wet wipe was when Greg gave the kids an Airhead and I decided to clean Seth's hands. Wow, It's day one! We were eating supper at the snack stand (no cafateria on the first night) when the sky got dark and the wind picked up. We went back to the camper and Greg pulled up the weather on the net and then we decided that the camper was no place for us. We took cover at Snieder Hall and found out that a tornato had been spotted not far from us. The storm is over now and we are all safe. I wish I would have taken pics of the people takeing cover. I didn't think of it. I just wanted to get to a safe place. This is what I was going to post Friday when I lost connection. When I went to get back on it was changed to needing a pass word. Now I have found another connection but I'm having trouble getting my pics to download. This is the only one that has downloaded and it was taken before camp. I'll try later.
Here is an outfit that Meg pick out all by herself. We are not going anywhere! Zoom in and you'll see why.

Jet Ski

We bought a jet ski 2nd hand last year and had never taken it out. We took it out yesterday. It was nice because of it being on a Tuesday the lake wasn't very crowded. Greg or I neither one had ever been on a jet ski before and we weren't sure if we would even like it. I had this vision of dumping it in the middle of the boat ramp when Greg pushed me off the trailer but I didn't! It was great! I had a blast! My parents had their boat there too. Megan had told me earlier that she was going to ride the boat. After I took a spin to get use to it I came back to the boat to see if anyone else wanted to try it. Megan wanted to ride. After she rode that first time she wanted to go every time that it went out. She loved it! She's talking about going again after church camp. Greg took it for a spin then came back and took Megan with him. It took Seth a while to get use to the boat. He was very nervous about the whole thing for a little while. While Greg and Dad were loading up the boat Megan and I took another spin and Seth and Grandma were waiting on the dock. I decided to go back and see if Seth wanted to ride. He did! I took him for a cruise and he loved it. I was surprised that he wanted to go. We didn't do anything crazy and we were even more careful when we had the kids. (That's for Grandmom and Grandbear.) We will be careful. We didn't take our camera so these are pics taken from Greg's phone. Greg and Dad were loading up the boat when Seth took a spin so that pic is on mom's phone. I will try to get it and post it later. This week will busy since we will be getting ready for church camp on Friday.

Greg and Megan on a cruise. As you can see we were one of the few people out, so the water wasn't rough. So it was nice for our new adventure.

Swinging

I'm so sorry that I haven't been updating like I should. Things have been so busy for us. Last weekend we had a yard sale. It was the first one that I had since we got married. We mainly just sold kids clothes. Everything was priced to sell. We got rid of a lot of stuff. Now we are getting ready to go to church camp. I am excited about going. It's kind of nice to step out of the real world for a week. We are leaving Friday. I have so much to do before we go. The camper is pretty much ready but I have to get all of our clothes ready. One of the things that I like about taking our camper is that I can pack it and then when we get there I don't really have a lot to do. Everything is already "unpacked." I think I'm getting spoiled. Church camp is much different now that I have a family. I used to be packed in probably about an hour. Now I think about what 3 other people are going to need. Greg helps me out a lot. I think I'll have the net there so maybe I can take some pics of people and post them for everyone. (Mom O'Donnell who is probably crying right now because she can't come this year.) We will miss you and Gram so much. We hope to come out before Grandbear closes the pool!


Here are some pics of Megan pushing Seth. What a good big sister.
We had a party at work with Hawaiian theme. That's where Megan got her lei. WOW! Seth had his on for a while but then decided that he didn't want to have it on anymore.

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Greg! I just wanted to let you know that I love you. I'm so glad that you are the father to our kids. You are a super dad! I know you put up with a lot. Thank you for all that you do for our kids.

I had to put a "S" and a "M" on Greg's calender so that the kids wouldn't fight over who was going to feed the cats. Today Megan tore off the 14th so that we would be on the 15th with a "M" and she could feed the cat. Too smart.
Lemon meringue pie for Father's Day. This is both Greg and my Dad's favorite pie. They get it maybe once or twice a year. I should do it more often. It's really easy but I just don't.
Meg was eating cookies when I decided to take a pic of her eye. This is what she looks like today. Thank the Lord!!
Happy Father's Day Grandbear! We want you to know that we love you. Thank you for all of the special things that you do to shorten the miles between us. You are a great Dad and Grandpa. Happy Father's Day. Hope to see you soon.
Happy Father's day Dad! Just want you to know that we love you. You are so good to all of us. Thanks for all of the things that you do for us every day. Did you know that we caught this pic of you and Summer. Summer is Teresa's dog. Happy Father's Day!

I got Seth out of the tub and Megan got out by herself. I was impressed when I noticed that she had hung up the washcloths and was letting out the water. She's growing up.
Megan and Daddy mowing grass today.
Full speed ahead.
Seth has been sort of quiet today. I found him reading a book. So Cute!
He wants to see what his pic looks like.

Pantry Fun

Megan came into the living room and said, "Don't come into the pantry." Of course, the mom in me knew that the pantry was where I needed to go. I noticed that she had white stuff on her face, shirt, and a little on her skirt. Sure enough, when I got in there I noticed the Spackle and paintbrushes. You may have to zoom in to see the wall. I was able to wipe it off.

They had been playing in the pantry with flashlights.
Cheese!!
Cheese!!
No Seth! That's not Oreo!
Yep, that's it!

Sunday 6-8

When we got to church this morning it was hot at church. The AC unit was broke! I pretty much took as much off of the kids that I could get by with but they were still a little fussy. We canceled church this evening to go to a little church camp close to us. We didn't go but I'm sure that it was a good thing for the ones who did because this camp has AC. Today I was getting ready to change Seth's diaper when Megan informed me that she was going to take a pic of it and put it on the blog!! No secrets at this house. Thankfully she was using the old camera that doesn't work anymore. She said, "I got it." She is so full of it. Her face is doing very well. People are surprised when I tell them that she had 12 stitches about 2 weeks ago! I did a video clip of Megan and Seth playing basketball yesterday. Our camera records it to a DVD so I will have to sit down and figure out how to post it. We are scheduled for long days next week to make up for the time that we were without elec. I'm sure that this week is going to be a busy one.

6-4-08

We have had a lot of bad weather the past couple of days. We didn't have electricity for a little while this evening. Our church was canceled also because of no electric.
This is a pic that I just took of Megan. She is looking so good!
Seth wants to do everything that his big sister is doing. So he wanted to get his pic taken too.
