Yahoo Brenda!

Outstanding - I love hearing/reading from everyone else. Glad you got the CD - Dave and I had a blast printing the case covers! I know there are some real "ssshhhaaakkkyyyy" pictures! I'm still trying to learn all settings on the camera.

Tell Jen if she is interested in becoming a demonstrator there is a conference call on Sunday and she is more than welcome to join in the call - no commitment - just to get more information. I have already mentioned her to my leader. And that goes for anyone else interested (if you are reading this). Just give me a call.

I love that Mason and Addison had to be deprogrammed!! Ha ha! And that Destiny, she misses us huh! Let me know what she thinks of the pictures! We sent picture cds to Pam & Louie, and Hutch & Marla.

Debra called me today - her dog had 7 puppies! I hope she takes pictures and puts them on the blog! I love puppies - good thing we don't live there!!

Dave has training everyday next week, then just one more week before school starts. It's been tough leaving for work every morning with Dave and Petey still lounging in the bed!

Okay that's enough for now! Brenda keep coming back and posting - the rest of you too! Let's keep in touch!!

CINDY I RECEIVED YOUR CATALOG AND ALREADY HAVE A FEW THINGS IN MIND. I'LL PLACE AN ORDER AFTER JEN COMES THIS WEEKEND.
I KNOW I HAD A GREAT TIME AT THE REUNION I HOPE EVERYONE ELSE DID TOOOO!!
DESTINY WAS A LITTL BUMMED WHWN SHE AWOKE TUES. AND MOST EVERYONE WAS GONE. SHE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO TELL HER MOM WHAT ALL SHE DID BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T REMEMBER IT ALL. CINDY-- I'M BLOGGING, SEE I DO REMEMBER HOW. SEE YA.

Just a few more words now

Dave put picture cds in the mail today to everyone. Be on the look out for them! Come on now - let me hear from you! Love you all!

Just a few more....

The facilities were very nice - this outhouse right outside the barn was new!






















Destiny says "a little privacy please!"



















"do you think I can sit at the grown-up table?"










This was a serious discussion! Hmmm, what shall we do now? Shall we go down to the river and catch minnows, collect snail shells, how 'bout run bases for the old uns, or shall we ask for more s'mores on the fire? Naw, let's get more Texas hold 'em lessons...
Can there be too many Hartmans in a kitchen?
There was so much good food and as far as we know, no loss of digits.

A couple more pictures!

What an adorable family - oh that Mason - how is he doing without us Jen and Jason?????
Uncle Gary instructing the children, "never count your money while you're sittin' at the table..."
Father and son checker match - Davey looks on, the suspense is intense!


No clue what this discussion could be - Uncle Dave
discussing the pathagorian therom? I don't
even know how to spell that! But the children's
eyes appear glazed over!












Now this is chillin!














Hmmmmm? Brudder love?

Sweet memories!

Oh Cara, thanks for posting that picture! It's sweet because I can remember that visit and that morning. I wish you all could be at the reunion. Dave is already talking about what he hopes we do in two years! He said he wouldn't mind going back to Branson! That was fun. But we were also thinking about Tennessee - Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, outlets! I imagine everyone will be talking about that in about ten days or so.



We are piling stuff up that is to go to reunion - gathering things - new shorts, sandals, pictures, cameras. How 'bout mosquite repellant - hey all you Texans - are the mosquitos a problem down there? How's the weather right now - I'm expecting hot and humid - am I right? Any suggestions before we depart?

Old Picture

Hey family. Look what I found...



I was looking for some stuff in my photo boxes for a scrapbooking project and I came across this photo. Thought you would enjoy it.

We won't be able to make the reunion this month. We have to have the floor and toilet replaced in our bathroom and the only time he can do it is that weekend.

Have some fun for us!

Cara :)
