The carrier was awesome. The 1st jet on the left is a F-18- an old Blue Angels jet (dad should like that). These other two are where we live. Actually this is about 1/2 hour from home, if you look at the bottom one, the area that looks like a town is where i work (off in the distance). We're in the foothills of the smokies. I went home teaching the other day and it took about a hour from my house to get there, it was way up in the hills off some dirt road. real pretty.

more san antonio picts

can you tell which girl belongs to who? In the one I'm holding, it's kylee. Jess is holding Lily. Kylee's on the right, lily on the left in the one of just the 2 girls. Mink went to her 1st easter egg hunt. she done good.
We think lily and kylee look a lot alike. We went to the USS Lexington in TX.

obama

Don't blame me i didn't vote for a Huseein.
I'd like to see him work for $1 a year till the "company" he is CEO of perks up. That seems to be what he encourages anyway. So pass that on. $1/ year till he makes us profitable again. Then again, maybe he's trying to make other countries profitable first. He's anti-democracy, pro-socialism and a bit commi to me, and his wife is clueless and an embarrassment, but at least she's proud of her country. If you voted for Obama, I'll bet you feel pretty stupid. Though you're probably one of the many that spent too much $ and thinks uncle sam owes you for it.

Mink was very very into the whale show. She was their cheerleader.

Sea World (lily's on the left, Kylee's on the right)

We went to visit my sister Camille (Camel) in San Antonio. We went to Sea World and Corpus Christi. It was lots of fun. Here' some pictures. This will be in several posts to post all the pictures.

We went to Texas and stayed w/ camel for a few days. Went to Seaworld and Corpus Christi. It was lots and lots of fun.

Camaro for sale!

For sale. 1978 z28. It's been lots of fun having it, but it's time to let her go. Runs great, loud, very fun to drive- it's pretty quick. Needs a paint job and the inside needs the paneling put in (I have all the paneling, except the door panels). 350. Edelbrock 600. Turn down exhaust. The pictures show different size tires on front and back but they're the same now. Doesn't leak too bad (rain leaks). Has all new weather stripping. The passenger side door needs a new window regulator ($90). The passenger door could use new bushings. That should fix the leaks. The t-tops don't leak though, they're Hurst. Has a fresh oil change. I have the stock hood as well. New rear seat belts and the front ones are both installed from a different camaro and work. Speedo and tach don't work. Not entirley sure if it's the original engine or not. Good transmission. Have a few other spare parts to go with it. $3300.

Christmas picts

We went to washington for christmas along with everyone else. It was lots of fun. 1st time all of us have been together for christmas since '01. The 3 babies are Kylee (ours), Lily- Camel's, and Akaila- Janica's. Jess and I started a snow fort on Christmas. We got somewhat over 2 feet so it wsa lots of fun.

ninnie found some makeup. She also found a girl to play with. Actually it was outside a haunted house and she didn't care for the girl as you can see.

we saw this truck on our way home. guess there's bears in the smokies. jess had her 1st craft show today. work's good. we're going to washington in a few weeks. the girls are happy.

hiking in the smokies

We went on a hike in the Smokies yesterday. it was just a 4 mile (round trip) but i was surprised it had some steep parts and once we got to the top there was cliffs so there was lots of good scenery. We carried the girls up with our baby carrier things. Mink slept the whole way up. Jess and I were very tired by the time we got to the top. Mink walked the whole way down so she was very tired and grouchy by the time we got back to the car. so here's some pictures. we also used our camping stove for the 1st time so we had a good lunch. mink hasn't figured out how to smile for a camera without scrunching up her face.

trip

it's exactly 2722.7 miles from our house to my parent's house in custer.
