Neice @ MindSay

1.  This picture is Coltin's Classmate D and behind her is our family friend Heaven.  They both were really leary of getting on the ice and it took me about a half hour to get Heaven out there but D is somewhat fearless and I had to convience her to stay completely out of the middle of the rink where the older kids were ruff housing!

2.  This is of Coltin doing exactly what I was trying to prevent D from doing!  Notice that at least Coltin has some of my atheletic abilites because he started skating like a pro after he got done playing with the lil kid ice walker to help them!

3.  This is my brother in law Tracy and my neice Katie.  Thank Gods my sister married a man as atheletic as she was, their kids we really didn't have to worry about on the ice!  After a couple of spills they were both up and skating like a pro!  And we all missed it and had our camara's put away when Tracy took a spill trying to show boot!

4.  This is of DeLaney on Fourth of July evening.  This camara is a suppose to be a very good dig camara but in truth it takes really crappy pictures and I had forgotten the one Randy gotten me for my Dirty Thirty Birthday!  As you can see she stayed in her swim suite the whole night!

5.  This is of Coltin on Fourth of July evening.  Again sucky camara!  Again still in his swim suite!

6.  Randy lighting something on Fourth of July.  Again still in swim suite!

We didn't buy anything real big for this year's fourth, we are waiting for the kids to get bigger!

Okay I am really late in getting some of these pictures posted but here they are.  Starting with my Grandma's 95th birthday party.  Her birthday was in April, see I am really late in posting some of these images!  This is my favorite grandma!:D  Okay as of now she is my only granny, but when my other granny was alive this granny was my favorite then also.  I loved my other granny but she was an ol bat that made my life misreable so I made her life misreable back!:D

1.  The birthday girl herself.  Granny isn't that big into parties so she looks a tad bit grumpy!

2.  Granny's birthday cake.  My Auntie Phyllis had the store do pink frosting, much to Granny's horror.  She is not a pink kind of girl!

3.  My sister taking a picture and trying not to smile while I snap a picture of her.

4.  My dad surrounding by two of his grandsons.  It's the only decent picture I have found of him so far on my new camara!

5.  My granny listening to my mom and my son talk about something.  And one of many older cousin's or a spouse that I have no clue who it is. 

6.  The only decent picture of my daughter.  She is the lil blonde if you didn't know.  The dude in yellow is my brother in law Tracy.  You can see a parital head shot of my dad and my nephew Curtis.

7.  A picture of my neice Katie, nephew Curtis, and my son Coltin

8.  A picture of my cousin Nanette's youngest boy Logan.

9.  A picture of my cousins:  Denis who is my oldest cousin off my dad's side.  He is 5 years younger then my dad who is 61.  And my cousin Nanette.

10.  My auntie Lois.  Nanette's mom. 

These are about the only decent pictures I have to put on Mindsay.  I have a lot more of the party, intersently enough I don't have any of my brother!  I am not to suprised, he is like me and avoids camaras!  My Granny was so happy her only grandson that carries the family last name was able to be at her birthday party.  My dad has some pictues of my granny and brother together and some of me and my granny and some of my sister, brother, granny, and myself.  If I ever get them I will post them.  I don't mean to brag.......okay I do:D......my siblings and I are the favorite grandkids because we spent a lot of time with our grandparents due to my parents working alot and them being older and needing us to help out around the house.  It helped we were the only grandkids that lived in the same town!:D

Howdy all, What's the what this fine Monday morning? I feel a bit invisible today but I will bounce back soonenough, I always do. I am not depressed, but I am a shade annoyed because I don't feel invisible and countless others have been able to interact with me lately so I have to wonder at just how invisible I truly am. You won't really know what this is about but I just needed to write it out for my own edification. *sigh*

 Oh well, in the words of Mystikal "you keep bumping me against the wall. Now I know I let ya slide before. But until ya see me..trust..you ain't seen bouncing back!  

How about a few photos and some commentary to compliment or take away from the grandeur. This one is taken from Bright Angel Trail, Grand Canyon. It looks really cool to me so I thought someone else might wanna see it.  here is one of my darling neice (the one on the left) with her first cousins. Here are my brothers, the oldest is on the left (he is 36) and the baby is on the right (he is 27)...I am the middle child and the only girl....you would think that my mom would have had the decency to spoil me but noooooo, I had to be treated like one of the boys...LOL! My momma (on the left, she is 53) and my "heavy-quilt" making aunt(she is in her sixties)  A bit of poetry....here goes....

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.--Langston Hughes

Goddess Bless and I will keep on dreaming if you will!
