I Love This

I didn't have to ask him either

A Little Late

I know it is a bit late, but I couldn't let this one slip by. My dad is one of the coolest people I have ever known. I know everyone says how great and wonderful their own dad is, but seriously, my dad rocks. First of all I think he is a serious stud. Many people compare him to the one and only Kevin James.

Personally, I don't see it. Although he is super funny like Kevin, and his dance moves are pretty much the same my dad is way better looking.

My dad has always been so supportive of me. He splits being my number one fan with my mom and husband. I could not have asked for someone better.

Sometimes I feel like he is more of a friend than my dad. He is and has been one of my best friends for years. He is pretty much bomb. Anyone would be lucky to have him as a friend. I personally think he is also one of the funniest people. I even have a "Dad" flag that I wave whenever he says something funny, or whenever I am feeling proud for being his daughter.

So here is a tribute to my dad, one of the greatest men I'll ever know.

I love you dad!

**P.S. My dad has way more muscle than Kevin James does**

I Hate

The summer heat.

My butt is always on fire when riding my bike to school.

My seat is too hot.

I love the warmth, I love Arizona.

I prefer it to the cold snow.

But I don't like the blazing sun.

The next time I'll be enjoying those uv rays,

I'll be doing this-

Anyone else want to join?

Say Goodbye/Say Hello

Today I repotted one of my plants.

I had to say goodbye to the original Ms. Marigold.

If you were around when she came into the family you remember how important she was.

But thank goodness I kept the package of seeds,

and now her posterity can live on.

We'll see if Ms. Marigold Round 2 will conquer.

And now I say hello to the new-and-improved Ms. Marigold.

I know she is nothing yet, but she soon will be!

We'll see if my dad's green thumb has been passed down another generation.
**Notice how the zinnias on the right are flourishing**

At The Husband's Request

As The Husband and I were reading over our post, we realized a few pics that could not have gone forgotten.

The two of us on the quad. I usually like to drive, but I had to give him a chance every once in a while. (I accidently erased this one on the last post and was too lazy to put it back on.)

The gun was so loud when firing that we had to cover each others ears.

Reasons why I hate this picture, but why The Husband likes it:

1. Somehow I managed to make this disgusting face while waiting for the loud BANG of the gun.
2. My "crane nose". You can see my nose from a profile view, and it is not pretty. I have broken/bruised my nose a few times in my short life so far and it is very big. That is not what my nose looked like when I was young, and its sad to say I will never get my old nose back.

Camping

This past weekend The Husband and I went on a camping trip with my mom's side of the fam. What may surprise alot of people is that we both love camping! We went to Forest Lakes for the weekend and had more fun than we thought we would.

Although Erica was sick the whole time, her and Albert still came and attempted to make the best of the weekend. She ended up in the Emergency Room for the second time in 3 days, but she left feeling better. Who knew morning sickness would be so bad?

My cousins Jordan and Kaylin are seriously hilarious. You don't even have to talk to them, you will laugh just by watching them.

This little beauty is Cecily. The 8 year old girl is one of my greatest friends because she is so loving. I look up to her so much, so I definitely loved hanging out with her all weekend. I know you can't see her face but I promise she is a gem.

After Cameron (left) had continuously beat a rock with a stick for about twenty minutes trying to start a fire my dad finally stepped in and decided to teach him the proper way. My dad had taught him all about what friction was and that oxygen was needed to start a fire. Cameron then felt the stick, jumped up and ran around screaming,
"The stick is hot! We're doing friction!"
over and over, he was so excited. The sad thing: they never actually got the fire started. Thank goodness for lighter fluid and matches.




The Husband shooting a gun. I think he enjoyed it too much, next he'll probably want one. For now we'll just stick with my dad's.




Someday we will get him some man toys because he enjoyed these jumps way too much.

After a few jumps I wouldn't let him do them with me on the back, he was too crazy! I'm sure he got tired of me screaming in his ear everytime we left the ground.

All in all we had a great weekend. Althouh I was still trying to get over strep throat, it was very relaxing and it felt great to get away from the worries that the world can bring.

Hope your weekend was as good as ours!
