Military Party Fun

This last weekend we went to Doane's Family Military Weekend (or whatever you want to call it. We were promised lots of good food, lots of fun activities, and lots of socializing with the other families. Overall, there was lots of food (some good, some not-so-good), some fun activities (although we were promised a driving simulator which never got up and running, dangit!), and not much socializing with other families, because Doane's unit doesn't have a whole lot of soldiers with families. It's mostly comprised of single soldiers (mostly men, a few women). But following are some of the pictures from the activities we DID do! I even included some nice butt shots of me, just to show I'm not a chicken, or embarrassed to show my LACK of talent. Enjoy!





















































When I find the pictures of Dean I took climbing, I'll post them, too.







































































Aren't we a bunch of fun people? ;)

Jacob's 5th Grade Project

Hello all! Long time no chat, I know. But I just have a quick post for the night. Jacob's 5th grade teacher, Mr. Barnett, has issued a challenge to his class. He has a website that has a Clustr Map. This is what the teacher says:

'Global Connections Challenge'


Our Global Connections Challenge has started!

Each school year I challenge my class to spread the word about our classroom web site in order to get visits from all seven continents (Yes, including Antarctica). You can see the visits to our site below on a really cool hit counter from Clustrmaps. This simple exercise demonstrates how connected the world is through the Internet, and it provides for awesome teachable geography moments. You can get involved by spreading the word about www.mrbarnett.com to everyone you know so they too can learn a little about us and what we're learning about.

Challenge Goals

-All seven continents, 1 Super Point

-All 50 US States, 1 Super Point

-All Canadian Provinces, 1 Class Point

-Visit from mainland China, 1 Super Point

-A visit from Andermatt Switzerland with picture, 1 Class Point

-Visit from the 3G base station near Gorakshep village Nepal, Mount Everest

(A picture would be awesome!) - 1 Super Point

So please stop by the website, http://mrbarnett.com.
Just ignore the any reference it may say about "Lakeview Elementary". It's really Garden Heights Elementary. So please stop by, and tell all your friends, foreign and domestic, to go, too!

Thanx much!

TwiNerd Midnighter - R We Acting Our Age?

All right fans, I finally got around to posting the pictures from the midnighter (that Korbi finally sent me). Rather than posting each picture, I made a collage, so you can enjoy them all at once!
Luvs to ya'll...

 

More Silverwood Fun!

 

Hooray, I found the pics on Doane's phone, too!

Silverwood Fun!

 

Fun at the Silverwood Theme Park....

unfortunately, I just have the pictures from my phone. The pics we took with our camera and Doane's phone got eaten up in cyberspace!

TwiNerd Party @ Korbi's!

On the 25th of June, we had a "Twilight" party at Korbi Ashton's, in preparation for the release o the Eclipse movie the following week. There were some good times had, and some great crafts made. Unfortunately, I only have a few of the pictures, but I present them to you for your viewing pleasure...

Bethany has the NERVE to text her husband during our party - ALL males are banned!!


Katie just found out that she was going to have a total of SEVEN kids....she's a little shell-shocked!


Aren't we a bunch of HOT women? (Yes, we're all in our *some*ties, but we LOVE twilight!)

Stay tuned for pics of the midnight movie some of us party-goers went to!

Facebook Daze!

Hello to all my not-so-faithful-followers!

You may note that I have now gone back to public-viewing for my blog, as some of you have been on the non-visit category since I went private....you traitors!

So I'll post a couple pictures of things we've been doing, and maybe I'll follow up later. The reason for the title of this post is because I've been consumed by Facebook, and all the games I can play there....doh!
