Ugh, I am frustrated....

Ok, so I haven't updated for awhile because Gary's laptop hasn't been letting me download any pictures are anything, so I haven't wanted to post. So, enough is enough. Time for some updates. We've done all sorts of things in the last month. Sierra had her end of the year violin concert which was great. She is really loving playing to violin and is so excited to get to play in the orchestra in middle school. We had our end of the year recital for dance in which Sierra, Grace and Joe all danced. It was long, but so much fun to watch all of the routines from the year. Sierra has decided that she is done with dance. She wants to have more options available, like playing basketball and maybe trying out skiing this winter. Grace Loves dance and will definitely be doing it again. Joe also loves his hip-hop class too and wants to keep it up. Because Sierra is not doing dance, I will probably let Emma start this fall. She'll be so excited. She keeps asking me when it'll be her turn to dance, so here it comes.
We've been camping twice this year already and have had a great time. Gary started digging out, leveling and cutting down trees on some of my dad's farm to make a family campground. He has all sorts of ideas that are just awsome. He has a site dug out and about ready so that we can put a picnic shelter there. He buried a big, old metal 1/2 barrel type thing for the fire pit. He brought in a bunch of dirt and we've leveled out the area all around it. Now we are looking for some nice big flat rocks up there that we can sort of trim around the edge of the fire pit. There is so much room up there to hike, ride the dirt bikes and 4-wheelers, shoot our guns and just hang out and not have to worry about camping neighbors. I was even really brave this weekend and let Sierra and her friend take turns driving the pick-up around the farm. Most of our families even came up to camp with us or eat and visit for awhile. It's always so nice to get to see everyone.
Hopefully one of these days I will get the whole computer/picture thing figured out again, but till then, I will still try to keep up with what is going on. It's just really hard for me to do it without any pictures, I am a visual person and love/need to have those there for me more than anything. Plus it's easier to remember and tell more about all the details to you guys with what all is going on around here. Oh well, one of these days it will happen.

Your campsite sounds like fun and once it gets done it sounds like you will be having even better camping trips. It is fun reading your blogs even if you don't have pictures.
