Park day....after Church

"Red stripes."

*chuckle* Levi is such a boy. :) Relaxing in the grass, is what Farmer boys do best!

All of the 'younger' boys were watching the 'older' guys play football.

"HIKE!"

"You're goin' down!"

"I'm open!"

Didn't see it comin'. *smile*

I like this Photo. :) Tell me what you think Anna. :)

Enjoying the game....

Last photo of the game, and the absolute coolest in my mind. :)

The girls threw around a football a little as well...

...

...but for the most part we watched. :)

Unfortunately, this is when my camera battery died...but after the guys played football, we played Ultimate Frisbee, and soccer. Those were good times. :) I simply can't wait till summer! All of the fun activities, and fellowship....*sigh* I am blessed with a wonderful Church Family!

Silver Star Hike ~2010

Heidi and I in the car...which was quite bumpy I might add. :)

Caitlin. At this point we just finished the first hill.

"This is the way we will go..." 

Caleb...  

The next big hill. And man, was that a pain!

Papa and Jessie. 

Caitlin and Cassandra...It seriously looks like they are in the movie, 'Sound of Music.' Doesn't it?

Zachary, Matthew, and Josh. All enjoying the hike. :)

Papa, as handsome as ever!

Half way there, we all stumbled across snow! Of all things! I thought this was a funny sight because we were all in t-shirts and shorts and were having a snow-ball fight in the beginning of JUNE!!!

Caleb..Ummmmmm?

Papa....Again. :)

On their way...

I really like this picture of Joe, if only it had been clear....   :/ Bother.

...

WOW-windy is the word!

Yep, sure was! *chuckle* Heidi, you look gorgeous. :)

Eating lunch...wow-those were good times! *chuckle*

Made it to the top! Good job AndraLea!

Andra, enjoying the breath-taking views.

The crew. - I think we all look like ants on a rock. *smile*

Picture taking...

Michaela...

...is VICTORIOUS!

We had a whole lot of fun on the way down...as you can see. :)

Everyone was quite tired when we got down. *smile* But it was all worth it...Right guys?

*chuckle* Jonah was just a little hot. :)

The day ended with joy..thank the LORD!

BABY SHOWER!!!

Last week, the "Mack Manor" hosted a splendid baby shower for little Nickolas. :) It was a wonderful event.

One of the cutest little boys, Micah, and his beautiful mom, Mrs. Sturtevant.

My Maimee, (Mrs. Phillips) and Cutie Maddison.

Aunt Chandra, and little Nickolas.

Michaela and Micah.

Beautiful Mrs. Berkompas, and cute Maddison.

And the star of the show....NICKOLAS MAXIMUS!! (mini-mus --little-mus)

I thought that this was cute...all of the little gals watching my mom open her gifts. :) They act as if they were getting the presents themselves. :) Little kids are such a blessing!

Thank you all for making this night special for my family. All of the gifts and kind words were greatly appericiated! And thank you Mack Family for hosting.

A true, and funny joke...

This is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things.He immediately phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and George said no and explained the situation. Then they explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available.George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again."Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I've just shot them all."Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed. One of the policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

Just a little something...

Mama, a loving mother, teacher, and friend. Someone who you can always be open to talk to, who shares your happieness, as well as sorrow, and spreads joy to all near. I have truely been blessed by one such as her!

A couple years ago My family and I took a little walk around the wild life refuge. Here are a few pictures. (P.S. they are the ones on my parents computer. *smile* FYI. )

Marcus...all boy and always will be, just like his Papa. :)

This picture is SO sweet! Alainna, can hardly walk and she is trying to teach Jacob to walk. Awwww, that is just the cutest thing!

Papa and all his little kiddos. :) Oh LORD, I thank you for blessing me with a Wonderful and loving family!!!

Me. :p I was so little then....

I really like this photo though. Love the leaves in the back ground. :)

Little Alainna had broken her leg, so she was not able to climb the tarzan tree. *sniff* So sad. :p

Now this picture is just the sweetest thing! Levi and Marcus...so adorable, it says brothers all over it. *sigh* Agreed?

Well, hope this little post is something worth reading. Sorry for the lack of posts. :( They'll be back soon!

Where have I been?!?!?

Well, I am sure you are all wondering where all the posts have been, for my blog has been QUITE the empty one. :) Just to let you all know, my computers warrenty ends soon and I wanted to get a few things fixed on it...so I will not have it for another week and a half. Ya, big bummer. I have a whole lot of things to share with you all...so stay tuned, I'll be back...Promise. *smile*
Yours,
Jess

Having fun with my new camera...

I just, as of yesterday, got a new camera. It is a canon camera, that cost me about an arm and a leg. :/ But it is working great! The color is so much better on the camera then the computer, but I guess this will have to work. :)

Can it really get any better than this?

Okay, this is the moment that you all have been waiting for.....pictures of the MUSTANG!

This has been my dream car for some years now, and the LORD has blessed us with it. :) I thought that Mustangs were cool, looking at them from afar...but when I had a ride in it for the first time, a whole new world was opened! It is the coolest car that man has ever made!!! Fast, (chuckle ...very!) and most of all, has a mean look to it, especially with the hood scoop on! I am SO thankful for it!

Hope you enjoy it!
