Hectic

Things have been a little hectic for me lately. It seems like no matter what I do my days are always busy with this or that.

Lately its been me freaking out about camp, young womens, our pond and new fishies, our remaining fish (Lefty who Todd likes to swat at).

Stupid Lefty, if he wouldn't tease Todd, the neighborhood cat then he wouldn't be swatted at on a daily basis, but the darn fish likes to swim at the top of the wee pond.

So here's to my day, in hopes that the weather will continue to be nice (no rain please) for the next two days at least. That will enable us to get rocks for the large pond, have good weather for the ward bbq and maybe just maybe try to straighten out our tree.

We're eating inside the Mandarin, its a first for me!!

The Millstone

So I've been trying to find a way to post the movie hubby & friends created a couple of weeks ago, but sadly it is too big to go on the blog or You tube. Granted I'm a beginner at you tube, but the file is over 1.5 meg so its a bit too big. I'll see if hubby can set it up on his website, its at http://thenightink.com/. Until then, so sorry!!

I still will attempt to find a way to add it here though.

Lost Creek

I just love Lost Creek! Hubby was kind enough to let us go camping this last weekend instead of trying to fly somewhere or drive somewhere. When you haven't decided still were you're going on a vacation until you're already supposed to be on vacation I say go camping!!

We got up there Friday afternoon, cut some wood and decided to set up camp. Not even 5 minutes after tent is set up does it start raining. An hour later we emerged to a wet landscape, but the beaver dam was just lovely when it was still sprinkling. Too bad I didn't bring my camera out into the rain, maybe next time.

Saturday was a more eventful day! Our family was coming up to join us and hang out! Sadly the rain had another thought for us and decided to start raining around 3pm. We still had lovely dutch oven lunch under out canopy then decided to call it a day around 6 when it was still raining and didn't look like it was stopping anytime soon.

So maybe we'll do another adventure of camping over the weekend at Lost Creek seeing as it is a new month!

Eventually I'll get some pictures posted, but it was very cool, the beaver dam had like 20 fish in it! I promise, hubby even caught one! He was a good guy and threw the fish back into the creek though. Said it wasn't big enough for dinner and maybe next weekend he'll catch the big one we saw.

48 hour film competition

This last weekend was crazy busy with very little sleep, if any. But I did get to have a sleepover at my house, which hasn't happened since High School...or for a REALLY REALLY LONG TIME!

The boys, my hubby & his friend D, entered into a 48hour film competition that started on the 15th of May. At that time they received what their Genre was, a line that had to be included, and a prop that also had to be in the film and the film was supposed to be 4 - 7 minutes long.

Friday night was spent writing the script and getting filming ideas, Saturday was the start of filming. Mind you after we found people to be actors for it and arranging schedules so people would be available. We had our friend N help with the filming, but he also had prior arrangements so he wasn't able to be there all day. Luckily for us we were completed with filming that afternoon, then the fun part came in...the editing and putting the pieces together, adding sound, voice overs, etc.

Oh, and only one computer that is capable of doing all of that. So sadly the rest was up to hubby. Which I think he did a wonderful job of putting the pieces together with what he had. So Saturday night became Sunday and we attempted to complete all our obligations between completing project, church, home teaching, meetings, family parties, and getting this turned in; it was a very long weekend.

Once I figure out how to post video's on here it'll be up.
