Teens....

One minute they are covered in the mud....

Then all cleaned up,makeup on, hair done.....

silly as can be....

fun lovin....

Yes, life with a teenager. Keeps me laughing, keeps me busy, keeps me in the mall shopping, in the car teaching her to drive... Actually, I am really enjoying having a teen girl in the house. It is lots of fun and laughter. Also, I have a built in babysitter and soon will have another driver in the family!

This huge camp was at the College of Charleston....

Michael playing

Yes, I went a little crazy with the camps this year. BUT they got to meet MBA basketball players, go to camp in the C of C arena (which is awesome!) & have fun with lots of their friends at this week long camp. So, after last week of getting up early and going full speed all day, we are relaxing, sleeping in this week. Next week, the cousins are coming and we can't wait.

relaxing at the camper

After MUCH packing, cleaning the house, washing the dog, shopping for camping gear, we packed the car and left to pick up Morgan before heading to KY. Yes, pick up Morgan, because she was in Leesville for a week attending the Christian Leadership Camp. (GREAT CAMP!!)

So, we drove 1/2 way and spent the night, then arrived in Ky on Saturday. Did I mention that we brought the boat? Yes, we pulled it behind my van, and it looked ridiculously LOW the chains dragging & poor Bruce checked on it over and over, so it was a SLOW ride! Enjoy the pictures....

A week at home with no camps!

hanging around the house with no camps this week...We all enjoyed some down time.Getting ready to head to our annual week at Hillman Ferry Campground at The Land Between the Lakes. This year cousin David will come with us!!
