New camera!! woohoo! and this one's not water logged! it's an exilim s770, realllllly nice! tim got it for me for christmas! here's a cute picture from the new camera of our babykins esther kitty...


There's lots more pics in the october folder of my yahoo pics of random stuff with the new camera and also of the october manthey birthdays.




We went to Matt and Lydias for october birthdays, fun times, your new room is the best! i will select a few pictures from the night to add to this post... one of trent cause he's so cute! and he was cheesing it up for the camera the whole night, he'd actually hold a pose until he saw a flash!





and one of us playing catan because I WON!! To which tim made some crazy comment about me winning at a strategy game - uh huh - well he's just bitter because he usually wins and this time he lost to a girl!

Camping and other such things...

We went camping this weekend! i think this was the first time we didn't get rained out camping! we used our new tent too!!

The tent also has a "pet den", not that we have a pet, but it's useful for things like luggage and funny pictures... and we had a good time with fires and marshmallows and reading, and tim went fishing.

but it was freezing!! We had two of those "mummy" bags, the kind that are very small and go up around your head. but the one tim was in was not so warm! so the second night we squeezed into the one that was warm and we barely fit, we stayed warm but woke up quite sore and I think this was God's way of making me stop complaining and really appreciate our full size bed!

There are more pictures of camping in the october album of our online photos...
