Bemidji

Mom and I went to Bemidji, MN at the beginning of August. I finally edited and tagged all the pictures.  This is what happens when you are sick and don't feel up to simple things like standing, much less cleaning or cooking.

At Villa Calma, our amazing bed and breakfast. 

We were able to stop along the way and take pictures. 

 Headwaters at the Mississippi River! Crazy how a huge river starts out so small.

Crocheted tree.

Pauley Summer get-together!

We had family over this weekend! It was so fun having everyone here. This time I didn't take as many pictures, and just decided on talking more with people. I took just over 100 pictures, which is hardly anything for me :)

Dawson is such a cutie!

Dudley captured Andrew's heart.

Cherry picking!

Evidence of extended family

Challenge, 4

Day 14- A picture of you and your family.

a traditional portrait (2006)

Texas Trip, Christmas 2009. Mom made us stand by this sign. She thought it would be cool for her scrapbook. As you can see, I picked the correct footgear for the excursion.

California Trip, Christmas 2005. I am totally absorbed in camera. Playing with settings would be my guess. That was back in the day when I shot in film.

Makeover!

Since junior high I have had the same paint on the walls in my room. I realized this summer that I will be a (super) Senior in college. And since, I am in fact, a brilliant college student, I conceived the idea that it might be a good idea to change a room every ten years or so. Thus, I decided to take matters into my own hands (after someone else bought the paint) and give my room a make-over.

I was getting a little high off of the paint.....

i got this AWESOME recruit :)

Andrew's method consists of putting paint EVERYWHERE in hopes that it will look like more work has been done ;)
