Photos! Well some anyway.

Warning, this post is full of large pics and it will kill your bandwidth. Just sayin'


I found my camera and the cord! Unfortunately it stopped staying on after a while. So I couldn't download all the pics off of it yet. I have an SD card adapter with the usb thingy but I'm too lazy to go over to the computer tower right now. I'll do it later. It's kind of hard to get to now - bad planning.


So, here's some of the pics I've talked about recently and never posted. They go back a ways actually.


Easter 2011

Zoe and Rhiannon dying eggs

Spring Concerts

Faelyn in Middle School Chorus doing 70s theme.

Faelyn and her boyfriend, Austin

Can you tell Faelyn's best friend is behind her hehe.

Rhiannon's high school Show Choir concert (She's the one in the black and silver dress.) (I do actually have a video of her dancing and singing, but the only photos I have are from the song she sat down in. )

Rhiannon and her best friend M. 

Rhiannon with her Dad after the concert.  He didn't get to go.

Rhiannon later in the week at the Spring Chorus Concert (3rd one up in the middle)

The High School Chorus did selection from Les Mis and dressed as French peasants.

KITTENS!
These are Aja's kittens. Aja is Corina's cat who she didn't get spayed when we told her to.  She has moved into her own place and taken Aja and Grunt with her.  She'd better get them both fixed asap. But anyway, these are super cute kittens...

Milo.  He has been adopted by Faelyn's boyfriend and his family.  His sister is one of F's best friends as well. They had him spoken for early. When they got him, he was 7 weeks old and was HUGE.  He's gonna be a big cat.

Oscar. He's been adopted by Zoe's best friend's family down the street. They came and asked for one of the kittens right after they were born. Aja is a gorgeous cat, and her kittens were too. Oscar and Milo both had medium long hair.

Grunt! Originally he was named Walter and he was the biggest at birth, but Milo soon overtook him in size and he's just a shorthaired kitten, but man is he rambunctious! We thought someone was going to adopt him, but they got other cats instead.  But Corina finally got her own place that can take pets, so she took Aja and Grunt both so they'll each have company. 

Puebla.
Faelyn named this one as soon as she was born. She was such a cutie and was so so sweet. Unfortunately, I think she had Fading Kitten Syndrome from the start.  She hardly ever slept with the others and didn't always nurse when they did. She was growing and healthy and playful like the rest until about 6 weeks old. She lasted about a week before passing away.  No matter how much she tried to nurse or we bottle fed her or she ate canned cat food, nothing helped. She just faded away.  Rest in peace sweet kitty.

Sycamore Shoals

Christopher and the girls.

Me and the girls.

Fort Watauga

I have a lot more shots of Elizabethton and the fort's interior, but the camera is not cooperating.


Spring Cookout and Doctor Who Premier Party

Table all set up for gaming with all our friends. We had 15 people here at one time that day. 

My kitchen is clean and ready!  I don't think it's been this clean since and that was ... 4 weeks ago?

Just one shot of the food being consumed hehe.  Some of the people there don't like their pictures taken so I snuck in one pic of backs of heads heh. There wasn't a single flat surface in my kitchen not covered by some kind of food. We had tons of stuff on the grill that people had brought plus what we had, then potato salad, slaw, salad, fruit, chips, chili, fixins, baked beans, then a dump cake and ...

Banana Pudding! mmmm

AND...

Corina's 19th Birthday cake! She came over after work for the cookout and cake and ice cream, then crashed on the couch in the middle of the party heh.  

So, there we have it.  Just some of the photos from the past couple of months. We actually have people coming over tomorrow, last minute spur of the moment kind of thing and my house doesn't look ANYWHERE near as clean as the pics here. Oh well. A quick vacuum and swish and swipe in the bathroom and just make sure the kitchen floor isn't sticky and we should be good. The pantry's bare, so I told them to bring food.  I'll be glad to cook it and eat it with them hehe.


I have decided I like the kitchen table there. I don't think I'll ever be happy with the furniture arrangement in this house.  The living room still bugs me a lot, and I want more couches so our friends and the kids' friends cane come over and hang out and be comfortable. Unfortunately, the couch money went to buying that gas guzzling SUV we bought. and June's extra money is all going to the trip to see C's grandparents in FL. So, maybe in July I can afford some Craigslist couches heh.  I hope so.

Anyway, It's WAY past the time I should have been in bed, so I'd better go.  Have a great and SAFE Memorial day weekend!!!
