WOW! is all i can say about the last few weeks! our youth group took about 65 kids to hume lake christian camp for a week and it was awesome. there are no words to describe how much fun and how special it was. jimmie and i can't wait to go as counselors again next year. just a few of the highlights...
playing in the mud is fun! the one in the yellow shirt in front is my kalie...
no girly girls here!
yep, that's me...kickin' some teenage booty! little beastie...
the hubs getting baptised :)

me and my girls!
after we got back, we had family in town for a week AND at the same time, i had to recoup and prepare for the next big thing...jr. high camp! i can not believe that i did not get one picture of it! i think the heat got to me. it was soooooo hot and i was out of it most of the time :P this time, camp was in a little town called markleeville, about 1 hour from where i live. the kids camped out and hiked, rode horses, fished...each night we all met at a tiny, little, 100 year-old church in woodfords, ca., to have chapel and worship time. it was super cool. the kids and leaders, about 75 in all, crammed into a room that was about 10 x 20, if that, along with our awesome band...i WISH i had taken some pictures!
even with every thing i had going on, i had time to make a few more rings...it's a miracle! see whatcha think...
...and that's not all...i have more rings and earings, but you'll have to wait until i get pictures taken. these will all be posted in my etsy shop this week. click here to go to my shop. i will also be posting more paper kits and tags.
i just had to share a picture or two of our summer visitor...yes, he is back...it's mr. frog...
ok, so i can't be sure it's the same mr. frog from last summer, but he is a nice distraction for my son who likes to play "find mr. frog" every morning.
well, it is getting late and i am so tired from a very long day in reno getting my boys fitted for tuxes and looking for bridesmaids dresses.... i will be posting again tomorrow with more pictures and some creative stuff too :)
good night*
