4th of July

Traveled down to Ricky's camp for the 4th, let me tell you that was a LOT of boats in a little space! Good friends, good music- GOOD TIMES.

It was fun to see Kanny, Ellen and Little Rick. Kanny spent a lot of time on Mark and Debra's boat dancing with the girls!!! Then Papa Ricky had to come join in (not sure what Kanny "calls" his grandaddy...)

Janice gettin down with, Tiffany? (I think that's right)
Tammy, singing along in the background with Daniel and Candice.


Get it girl!


Yancey- What did I do?!


Kanny going with Papa on a little trip

Where are they going?

Debra is always there to lend a helping hand...

Aha! They were headed off to visit THOSE dancing girls!

Joe & Tammy's boat is too slick for the baby- so they just watched

Woooow...lol

Daniel got stung by 2-3 wasps on his nose, made his eye swell shut...and one on his ankle swelled too...at least he was in good spirits...haha

Teresa might get mad, but I LOVE this picture of her grinning!

Look at all the folks! 17 people in one shot (I'm counting ones in the back, like Neil's arm..haha)

Wonder what they're talking about...

Puppy...poor Jade, she's a bit too young to enjoy the boats

Sarah's gonna get me for this...

Sarah is like some member's of Austrailia's Aborigine tribe that believe having their picture taken sucks out part of their soul...but luckily we know that digital cameras can't do that. haha.

I love Sarah, if she wasn't so dadgum cute I wouldn't be so tempted to take pictures of her (besides, it's kinda like a challenge to do it without her catching you...)

Sarah eating a big ol' chunk of watermelon heart.

See...Janice tried to sneak a picture- and what she got instead was splashed in the face.

Sitting on James and Teresa's boat to eat some more...

Oops, she caught me...

I see a smile though! Ben and Mark in the background...

Debra sitting up in the pump shed, I told her she looked like she was sitting in the tree.

Janice ran away with Sarah's float, Dale's just watching and laughing.

Sarah's going to get her float back!

She is trying to better understand the president... lol

Only time I ever caught Sarah lookin at me. Duck and Ruby playing around...Daniel walking out.

Laughing Sarah...

Trying to pull heavy ol' Ben out to the "deep"

Pretty good zoom on my camera...I was standing on Ben's poling platform, like 3 boats away!

I mean really, who can resist pictures of this pretty girl?!

(check out that water splash!)

Attacking Benjamin...

Oooh...get ready...

Trying to pull him out...

And FLIPPING him out! Go Sarah!!!

Duck and Ruby mediating, haha, and helping to hold the float still.

Ben helping Sarah into the float

I think Ruby immediately tickled her right back out... what a cutie!

"Lydia!!! STOP THAT!"

Well I knew I was gonna get caught some time.

She is coming to get me!

Stopped to flirt with the boys that were standing in the water

(She learned from all her moms...Janice, Ruby, Debra, & Tammy)
ha ha ha

There it is, back to the GRR face.

This is nothing like the face Daniel got later, but I didn't take those pictures...we'll have to see them from Debra's camera, or Janice's---whoever had them...oh my.

*Sarah, don't be mad darlin- I only put up pictures where you look like your completely adorable self...Love you! See you soon!*

Farmer Ben

Ben's first "big" hay job...

He cut this big field the day before the pictures...

Workin hard...

Where did that ass come from?!

haha.

Cows were watching him work...

oops...cut some of the stuff off in this picture...it was bright out ok?!

Here he comes!

He made me jump the fence after this to pick up a piece of wood out of the way...

He was using a "tetter" to fluff the hay so it could be baled the next day.

They just stood all in the way...

I'll have pictures of the new baler in action soon...I didn't make it out there the next afternoon.

Those things spin REALLY fast...

There you have it..Farmer Ben.
