Need I say more?

If that ain't country...

After mowing last week I just rode that puppy down to the pool and hopped in!

Walker's out at Chandeleur Islands fishing this weekend. I haven't heard from him since Friday night, so I'm hoping it's a good sign that he's having fun. In the meantime, one of his customers brought a 4 wheeler over for me to try out this weekend. I'm telling you...custom black-out rims...the works! I took it out yesterday know now that I NEED one!

Maggie and Whitney came to see me last week! It was awesome to have some friends come down. We spent most of the time sitting around and talking-sorry, we forgot to get a pic!

School starts next Friday for me. I was asked to mentor a new teacher, I will be the liason between my school's science dept and the other middle school and I have cheerleading. I'm excited, but nervous!

Walkie and I haven't taken a pic together in a while, but here are a couple from our night out with Ohio friends, Heather and Brian, Jim, and Jack and Kara. Kara is in the green shirt and Jack has the bottle. They had a baby boy three months ago!

While the dogs are away...

the bunnies will play! This guy was in our backyard last night munching away. Mom has had the girls for a few weeks while we travel, and I'm going back to get them Monday. We saw some good sized lizards, too, but luckily no snakes. Reese will have plenty to chase next week!

My ocean studies course was AWESOME! We went to a couple of the islands, ran trawls for specimen (and ate the leftover shrimp), and hiked a few times in addition to clasroom lecture and activities. When I left that one, I met up with a similar class in Ohio and spent a day with those teachers. A couple days later Joy took us to a wildlife rehabilitation place, where we saw some really cool animals (like this bald eagle). So I'm being educated a ton this summer, and it's getting me excited about next school year.

Before our trip to Ohio, Walker had his state tennis tournament. His team didn't quite make finals, but they were very impressive. Walker's the #1 singles guy on the team and his last opponent ended up spending the night in the hospital because of the heat (and intense competition.)

Last night we went to our favorite bbq place-they opened one near the house. Julie was the bartender. I'm telling you the looks, bubbly personality and VOICE (not sure about mouth size :) )were all there. The girl said I could take a pic with her next time we go.

I'm the worst blogger, I know. Life is good...busy. My sister had her third child, Dashiell Edward, and he looks EXACTLY like Jason. Julie had Riley Elizabeth, Christa had Paige Katherine, Susan had Ellie...none of whom we've met, but we're DYING to see them!

I went to cheer camp with our squad, took an ocean studies course, visited my sister in VA, my mom in TX and now Walker and I are in OH. More soon.
