We went camping this weekend.

I believe this was our 6th annual trip to “Family Camp”. We are blessed to be part of a wonderful group of families who heads to Whidbey Island for a weekend of… well, camping! The kids run wild, as do the parents. The bees are always a bother, the dirt is always on our feet… one can hear birds and laughter and the boys howling their battle cries. It is an event our family looks forward to every year, and will be one of those things that will be a pivotal part of our family memories. Would you like to take a peek into what it’s like?

The first morning we woke up to the aftermath of a raccoon invasion. They were especially fond of the muffins, and hot cocoa packets.

I joined the CSI Club and they sent me a finger printing kit. Look what I found!

After we my husband cleaned up the raccoon disaster-area, my husband took the older two kids to the beach with some of their buddies… A little while later, Lucy asked, “Mama? Will you cake me to uh beach?” *blink, blink* We made the long trek to the beach, hand in hand.

Yay! The beach, and the swarm of children on “Splash Rock”.

Whew! I needed a rest. This is me, sitting on driftwood…. Does this driftwood make my butt look big?

No wait, does this two-table-long spread of late-night dessert make my butt look big???

Ahhh… a few moments at the bunkers.

And more kickin’ back on the seating around the ampitheather-thingy at the bunkers…

Speaking Writing of “kickin’ back”, I’m beat! I’m going to bed!

Peace.

The last day of kindergarten…

I let Olivia run wild with my camera on her last day of kindergarten - way back in June. It is very educational to see images of life through her eyes… After looking through her collection of photographs, I learned something about people her size… Eye level for our precious kindergarteners is approximately at adult butt level… Thus, a very flattering picture of *ahem* Olivia’s mother’s butt.

Does my daughter’s eye level make my butt look big??? Continue reading ‘The last day of kindergarten…’

Butt, we’re family!!!

Not too long ago, my husband’s aunt (a.k.a. - my aunt too!!!) emailed a few pictures of her son and his new fiance’. Perhaps I should be more specific - pictures of their butts! Can I just say, I love this family. How can you not love people who send you pictures of their butts so you can poke fun at them and publish their butts on the world wide world of internetting? I know. You are jealous. Yes you want them to be your family too. I never knew, that when I said “I do” nearly 14 years ago, one day I would be cropping and “touching-up” my husband’s cousin’s butt . Never knew.

Without further ado, another branch of my family tree.

Ummm, Matthew? I must ask my public - 

I’m sorry… I had to do that Cuz.

Now Cousin Matthew wants to know:

I can’t tell - your BUTT is in the way!

Look at these crazies! I think I love them more than ever!

1, 2, 3… A regular methane triple threat!

——

Drum roll please……………

I love you crazy family! My hubs didn’t get to choose his family. However - I did have a choice. But(t) I said “I do”, and I married him anyway… I guess what I am trying to say is… … … “I’m glad we’re family!” Thanks for stinking your butts out there for me. **smoochy, smoochy, huggy, hug, hug**

The Mid Summer Triathlon - through the eyes of Jenny.

My apologies - this will be one of those long posts. The kind-of post successful bloggers advise against. But for the sake of time and being sure to get this down, I’m going to just go for it. Is there a blog award for longest post???? If you bear with me, I promise to post a video in here somewhere in which I make a fool of myself as I demonstrate the sounds of a man I encountered during the swim who I have named, “The Blubbering Swimmer”.

In case you didn’t know - I did this:

I did it! I did It! And here’s proof I finished:

And I didn’t need one of these:

In further silliness

… and because I am entertaining family so I can’t dive on into the BlogHer wonderfulness that fills my mind with post-loads of things to write… Instead, I give you this - a mirror I found while browsing the local downtown shops with my sister and mom:

Me like pictures.

This is why I suspect my level of intellect is closer to that-of a preschooler. Me like pictures. Oooh, shiny…

Sewwwww…. beitsince my last great number of posts have been primarily boring ‘ol words, I’m gonna “Go Visual”. Oh, and for those who are fans of “The Butt Series“, this should be fun… 

Warning: butts in picture may be more pixilated than they appear…

Why-oh-why do I keep wearing white shorts?

Hello?! Fashion police?

A little pixilation never hurt anyone…

Umm… does this WORLD make Lisa’s (The Blozulfog) butt look big?

Whut? With all her hotness…

Maybe it proves she has the the hottest In. The. World! Sha!

Not a butt pic… yet still related to anatomy.

These pictures were taken at a 4th of July festival-of-sorts…

With a backyard parade…

I have no idea where there was a Sun Bra.

Skillz

So. Yesterday.

I am at the bike shop. Getting Mz. Thang/Butta/Fastlikedawind/Lollipop/Buffy all synced-up. We raised the handle bars and worked on my form. I still need lots of work. Apparently I am tense. Who knew? But that’s not the story.

The story is:

I was all chattin’ with a gal who was getting syced-up with her bike too.

Her nearly 60 year-old-self was all, “So what events are you doing.” 

I was all, “Oh, an Olympic distance tri.”

She was all, “Oh, when I did an Olympic, I….yadda, yadda, yadda…”

And I was all, “You already did one? Awesome! What’s next?”

She was like, “I am thinking about a half.”

I was like, “A half-IRON?” I picked my jaw off the floor.

She, “Mmm-hmmm”

I think I bowed to her.

The Butt Series goes to NYC

Just because I left town for a couple of days, doesn’t mean I left The Butt Series behind (heh… “behind”… heh…). NoWhay. In fact, it is quite the opposite. You can see for yourself!

Does this visitor’s badge make my butt look big?

A post in which I obsess about my butt.

I have a funny little spectacle glass I hold up to my mind’s eye from time to time… It’s my “Does this _____ make my butt look big?” spectacle glass. When I started revealing this deranged perspective (The Butt Series), I vowed I’d never actually post a picture of my own butt. I kept that vow for like, 2 weeks. This post was my butt’s breakout post. 

In keeping with my vow not to keep my vow - here are a few pictures from the half-marathon from last Sunday. I appreciate Katie’s butt’s willingness to play along…

     

  1. Does this fuel belt make my butt look big? **Notice the little flowers in tucked into the water bottle pocket on the right… Olivia gave me those after the race. Lucky mom :)
  2. Do our finish medals make our butts look big?
  3. Does this Gu packet make my butt look big?
Don’t answer. Especially not question #3. It’s the camera angle… Really! The camera was a very big camera. Anyone who knows anything about cameras knows that big cameras take big pictures. True story.
While I’m making a total butt of myself (heh…), here’s another photo from earlier in May…
Does the bow of this boat make my butt look big? Please ignore the lovely bat wings
