Slacker? Moi?! -- Update on the past 6 months...

Okay... let me start off with an apology for being a blog loser and another apology if you are not a grandparent and are horrified by the 10,000 pictures of Cormick below. What can you do?!

Here we go.... Summer to January in 45 pictures. Good luck!


Events of last summer...
Camping
______________________________________________________________

My very first camping expedition. Yes, I'm sitting in the dog food.


Catching up on my morning news!



Cormick was awesome on his first camping trip so we were fooled into attempting to go again. This time we went to "Loon lake" by Seeley and although it was beautiful the campground is small and a wee bit crowded. We didn't really notice how close we were to our neighbors until Cormick woke up at 4 am screaming and wouldn't stop til we all got up for the day. Awesome.



Evening before: The calm before the storm



I'm still going strong... not sure why my parents are acting so tired and lame!


First Professional Haircut

Okay... You can't really tell, but I am growing a pretty wicked mullet, so mom and I are visiting Great Clips.


So much product to choose from!


That's better... I feel much more hip.

Exercising with grampa!


Chillin with my other grampa. Grampa's are cool.


What the hell are you trying to feed me woman!


Dan enjoying a glorious day!

Events of last Fall...

Mexico!!!
_________________________________________________
In October, Dan, Cormick, and I accompanied my brother and his wife (Bean and Goon) and my parents on a trip to Mexico. Goon's cousin has a mansion (seriously, it sleeps 14!!) on the beach in Cozumel that we were lucky enough to get to stay in for free while we were there. The entire trip was amazing and glorious!

Woohoo!



Sand castle time, baby!



Ahoy mateys!

Bean and Goon taught me how to use a computer in Mexico! Best of all, they introduced me to my favorite song of all time... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtN1YnoL46Q
You know you love it too!



The only bad thing about Mexico, besides my Bean and I (Brittnie) getting the wild dysentery, was that all of us failed to take pictures. We are pathetic.

Ticklin' the old ivorys...

How did this happen?!



Cheese!



The black widow that Brittnie the warrior discovered and destroyed with a fatal karate chop
(okay, it was wasp spray) in her dear friend Ellen's driveway.



Events of winter....

Christmas!
_____________________________________________

My wintery photoshoot at Sears... never to be done EVER again.
Although it looks like fun... it is not!

The fam.



The pageant!!! Yes! Cormick was not the best shepard. He kept leaving the manger to explore the presents under the tree.



Santa!



The cousinly cleaning crew!



Cormick and his new Doggie!

The desperation trip to Walmart for vacuum bags for Ellen's very rare vacuum! Scary!


My favorite seat!


Finally, JANUARY...

Construction
________________________________________________________
We are remodeling our basement as it was set up weird before. In the end we will end up with 3 bedrooms, instead of 2 and a way better bathroom! Can't wait!!!

The old kitchen from when the basement was rented as an apartment...

Old shower, which looks better in this picture than in person... it was scary.

Picture of the kitchen and old bathroom one day later...


Wall where future master bedroom closets will go...


Closet frames going up today!



Walls coming down


Future bathroom!!



Well, that wraps it up! Whew... that took forever! Happy 2010. May it be a better year for blogging!
