Tim's about to get hit... lol

Andrew spreading the flour...

haha ok so check out this sucession:

Cooper jumps....

he splashes.....

and now he's all wet.

haha don't you love the long lens of a camera? it's like you can sneak around and catch what other people are doing from hundreds of feet away :D the Branchaw group

and thus begins the Ultimate Race of Time and Space. or something like that. ask Neil, i forget.

ok so i have a whole bunch more pictures on K's camera that i have to get from her... so there will be many flour and mud pictures coming up :)

my roomies :)

the fair has begun :)

i know i know. it's still only prefair. but i mean, already i've had the biggest blast ever! hanging out with some good friends... oh man, i still can't believe it's here :D

i'll probably have a million more pictures by the end of the fair, and a bunch from the youth retreat too... we leave on monday! i'll post more from both events when i get back :)

pictures of a puppy

took a few pictures with the puppy today :)

when it's hot outside, he likes to lay on the cool kitchen floor.

now i know where the expression "puppy eyes" came from ;)

his favorite place to sleep... right next to the air vent, right next to my piano (which he looooves, heehee :), and right by the sliding glass door. he likes keeping an eye on the outside world, and barking at butterflies and squirrels to let them know that he's the boss. too cute.
