House Fire - Live

The After Math

Here are pictures of the after math of our neighbors house fire! I don't think I will ever forget it. The noise of the fire, the "bomb" sounds going off and the smell. My legs were shaking while standing out there watching this house go up in flame. I think I will never look out my bedroom window the same ever at night. My first glimps was me looking out my bedroom window and seeing orange flames shooting up in the air. And sorry to all my neighbor who saw me in my PJ's...

Also do you see the metal garage door...I don't. That was a hot fire.

Desmond putting his bug collection together

Desmond went on a road trip with my parents pretty much the whole month of July. He soon realized that there is a lot of bugs in the mid west. So what does a 10 year old boy do...he starts collecting them. He started mounting them with pins to a cardboard piece, then put them in a tupperware container...well by the time he got home and the lid on the whole time, the smell was enough to knock us over. So I got the idea that we should wear masks...that didn't even help the smell. So Desmond really struggled with putting his bug collection together, but he did a great job!

Look for our entries in the Kitsap County Fair....

Desmond and I entered for the first time items in this years Kitsap County Fair. So look for Desmond's bug collection in the craft/ hobby section - he has it titled "My Bugs of Oklahoma". It's in a wooden display case that has glass on top.

Then I entered one of my photos...it's in the color/ nature section. I just love this one. I wished I would have known that you can enter more than one if it's in the same section for free. Well next year look for more.

Sunflower cupcakes

So one of my cousins introduced me to this really cool cook book- it's all about cupcakes....it's called Hello Cupcake! Now you have to say it right: Hellllooooo cupcake! :) She had made the corn on the cob cupcakes out of the book and it really looked like real corn on the cob. So I had to get the book and try it out. Really cute ideas on different type of cupcakes.
