Children's Fair

I have not been to this event since high school! (And it hasn't changed).....

First here is a cute picture of kitten!

Here are the baby chicks!

Here is Baby Corn!

Here is Papa Corn (Corn Nuts).

Here is Mothing serving Snowcones!

Here is crazy and Halls.

Doesn't that make you want a kid....NOT!

Then we went fishing:

There was a shit ton of Seagulls...EW and SHUT UP!

Ash was sitting in an awesome seat!

The clouds were cool.

And Ash and Bam were the only two to catch fish!

Until next time! I have lot of things to show you guys, but not a lot of time to show. Ekk.

When I Sleep...

So there are a lot of reasons why I like to drink. Two or the most recent ones came to me last night while I was sober.

01: I cannot fall asleep. I just ly in bed for like an hour, which is really annoying and makes me tired in the morning.

02: I don't sleep soundly. I wake up a lot, which I guess I do that anyway, but waking up drunk because you have to pee is somehow less irritating than waking up for no reason sober.

and

03: When I sleep soberly, I have really bad dreams. Then I ly awake scared of whatever it was I was dreaming about.

For instance, last night I had just falling asleep and I started having a bad dream. I was trying to wake up because I didn't want to dream about it. My body was twitching so much, it scared Kitten and when he moved to get off the bed is when I woke up. I blame last nights dream on the discussion of scary movies and dolls, and how I hate them, and playing with the dogs, and actually maybe also watching some previews for some upcoming movies; sober minds are mean minds.

I remember last week, I didn't drink because I didn't feel so hot, for reasons I cannot disclose, and I woke up in the middle of the night crying. Like actual tears were coming out of my eyes. I cannot remember why anymore, but wtf?

Perhaps I should leave one of the four composition books by my bed at night and write down the dreams that I have and send them off for analyzing. My brain has issues.

Christmas at Grandmas, always a grand time.

Every year on Christmas Eve, the whole family gets together up at my grandmas house. There is lots of good food, drinks, and I am pretty much the life of the party (as always - just kidding). All the family comes in from all across the US and we pretty much eat, take pictures, drink, and open a shit ton of presents! My mothing got another shot glass....how appropriate.

This is the family picture of my cousin Bridgey and Aunt Janis.

Here is Ash sitting with Grandma.

My brother trying to tend bar. He fed one of my cousins so much schnapps that he fell out of the truck and then puked his guts out. Bad bartender Richie.

Bill made it to the festivities.

My brother sort of looks like a Beatle with that long hair.

They were supposed to take a nice picture, and then Matilda smacked Dakota in the face; I got the evidence - evil little child!

Cousin Joe hates pictures, but Ash wants a good one.

Little Jakey loved Bill!

Christmas would not be Christmas without me trying to do something crazy to Kitten. Man he loves me! Just look at his face!

Here is Jenny's family shot: Willy, Jenny, Uncle, Mike, Didi, and Monique!

This is my family photo, but I don't know why Jakey is in there with us, he must want to switch families.

Ash had to get a pic with Bill too! All the kids were all over her all night it was pretty interesting, they must not get to see her that often. Or she must be a nice person I haven't figured it out.

This is my amazing photo, view with caution.

Here are my favorite Aunt Lori and Uncle Jimmy! Who by the way gave me the coolest present ever!

That about sums up the night. The next day we went back to Grandma's for some Christmas dinner, we played monopoly I won. We played poker, I lost, and then we played again and I won $7 (we were playing with silver change). Booya!

To Shoot or Not to Shoot....

that was Ashlea's question....she ended up shooting, as we all did..and boy let me tell you it was a fun time!

We got into the truck....the only one who actually apparently wanted to be in the picture was ashlea

We arrived at our destination, and Smokin' Joe set up the targets.

This is what it looked like from the truck with the zoom all the way in.

Someone was ready to shoot but didn't want a butt crack shot on the interweb.

That someone also got a bulleye on the first shot....BOOYA!

"Oh, well you don't know what you're doing, let me do it." -hahahah Joe

Booya!

Sweet shot by Ashlea, I probably missed the target but like a mile....

Aren't they cute when they aren't talking?

A nice sunset/moon rise to end a good day of shooting....now we were all hungry and wanted to play Crash!

So this is BBQ chicken, asparagus with mayo, and a salad with Jalapeño ranch dressing. And it was super delicious, thank you Ash and Smokin' Joe.

The we did Wii fitness which I believe I was at 30 yrs old this night (still the oldest) and played some Crash (which is getting extremely difficult), then i went home to this:

And yes I am tormenting him while he is trying to sleep, poor fellow.
