I LOVE THIS PICTURE! I don't know how I got the camera to zoom in this far but I'm really glad I did! 

okay, enough people: my cactus!!!!!! all the little hot pink dots are buds! 

and the finale--james won 

SPOONS!!!!!!! spoons and mafia are my youth groups favorite pastimes 

more sophie--she can stand up without holding onto things now! 

more of da guys 

sophie, our youth leaders' adorable daughter! she's ...about 9 months old? no idea. I could figure it out if I had time or brainpower... 

da guys--notice sonikid 

more best buds, still on sunday night at the cookout 

two of my best buds 

mafia, sunday night. We had fun! 

Grandma, you could say the matriarch. 

cousins! we were playing mad gab...this is their team, and my sisters were on a team with me, and we totally lost. I think their southern accents helped a lot. 

I took like 15 pictures like this and there is only this one that turned out remotely the colors it actually was. 

and, last but not least (of the LT pix at least) me and tony again, but this time MY eyes are closed. Doesn't anyone have one where we're both looking? 

my lovely nails--since you can't really tell: they say LT ! 05 ROCKS 

the girls at church before we even went to columbus to get on the bus 

before the bus ride really started, late late at night...you can see just about everyone. except james, isaiah, adam and jeremiah, I think that's everyone. 

flip flop fighting while waiting for the bus--the guy behind tony is adam. 

the rest of the ladies picking--you had to pick the dried flour/water off of the shirts 

ladies cooking 

this was our only spoon! the kitchen was not very well equipped. AT ALL.  

we had alphabet soup one night and meg picked out HSLT 

before the carwash--isn't the view out our balcony gorgeous! 

on the way to the carwash...the 98 degree carwash
