SICK!!!

Just a quick little note to let everyone know that we are SICK!!!!! Jacob got it first, but got over it pretty quickly. Unfortunately, tho, Mark and I BOTH now have it!!!! Needless to say, we feel horrible. I keep saying I feel like I am in a tunnel while everyone else is outside of it looking in! :)) I feel like I have to shout to be heard or even hear myself! :) I just hope that Jackson doesn't get this b/c he is in 5th grade now and has way more homework and responsibilities. Sooooo, be thinking of us and stay well!!!!
Have a good week!
Love, Cissa :)

BARNEY 2008!!!!

Gramsey, the boys and I got to take my niece, Gracie, to see Barney!!! Gracie girl just LOVES Barney and when we heard he was coming to town, we knew we couldn't miss it!!!! :)) I must note that I am also VERY PROUD of Jackson! He is ten and he got his picture taken b/c it was important to me to have all the cousins in "one" pic!!! He never questioned it not for one minute!!! He just did it!!!! What a GREAT kid!!!!! :))) It was a long line, but totally worth it for our girl!!!! We love you, Gracie!!!! :)))

Gramps taught her to make this face!

I remember pictures of "me" making this same face!!!

Gramps just LOVES to get kids to do it!!! :)

Gracie Girl!!! :)

Old Man's Cave! Batch 4 of 4

Big brother watching little brother!!!

Oh, No! Don't fall!!! :)

Made it to the other side!

It was much harder than it looks!

Little brother watching!

Still watching! :)

Batch 4 of 4 at Old Man's Cave!!! :) I lied, tho, 'cause I am actually going to post one more batch of pics!!! Sorry if they are getting old, but I am using my blog as a journal to document my favorite pics!!! :))

We (Mark and I) are considering starting our own "photography blog" to showcase some of my "professional" work. I tend to post my "fun" pics on this blog and I have many more professional ones. Sooooo, maybe here soon, I will have "another blog!!!" WooHoo!!! I might have to make my photography blog a bit fancier than this one! lol!!!! :)

Have a great weekend!

Love, Cissa

Old Man's Cave! Batch 3 of 4

The boys! :)

Here is the 3rd batch of Old Man's Cave pics!!! These ones are of the "water hole" we found (which, of course, the kids absolutely LOVED)!!!!! If you look closely, you can see how the water suddenly "drops lower" the closer they get to the rock. The "big kids" finally made it to the other side after numerous attempts! Needless to say, the boys were FILTHY in the end, but it was worth it! We had a great time! :))

Just the "1st Installment" of our trip to Old Man's Cave!!! We took the boys on Labor Day Monday and had a real fun time! Cousin Jerod came w/us and we always have a great time w/him!!! It was a nice, hot day, but since some of the caves are down low it ended up being VERY hot in some places and not-so-hot in others! :)

Look for 3 more batches of pics (I really did narrow them down - I did, I did, hee, hee) b/c I didn't want to squeeze them all into one! :)

Mark and I have a "gig" tomorrow. We are, once again, taking the preschool pics. As some of you already know, we took them last year and they turned out pretty good (if I do say so myself). :))) The only difference this year is that Jacob won't be there! :( You see, he is now a big kindergartner and he goes to a different school!!!

Soooo, even more pics to come, but only AFTER my next "3" batches!!!! lol!!!! :)

Have a good week!!!
