August is usually a pretty busy month for us, with family here and birthday stuff going on, I feel rushed. This year it was a little more relaxed. All the family left in July. So we just had my birthday to look forward to...but that isn't the total truth! My good friend was having her baby this month too! I was so happy to share my Birthday with such a cute boy!! Even though, he was born on 12th. I like to think of him as a belated birthday gift! And what a wonderful one at that! We had been waiting what seemed like forever for this boy to get here. And I wasn't even carrying him! :) He is way to cute!
For my birthday Dennis' partent's gave me a tent! We've been wanting to go camping but have been too cheap. We were looking around and price shopping, but just didn't want to get it right away. What a fun and usefull gift! I couldn't wait to go camping. So Den wanted to go fishing and I said lets camp too! So we called his sister and her and the hubby and their kids came out! We had a great time! And have plenty of great stories, I'll just share two of them...Dennis has this Bassett Hound. Who is at times cute but mostly whiny! Our little niece is DEATHLY affraid of him. So when the guys went to get fire wood, Den chained him up. The dog whined for ever so finally I had some sympathy! So I took him off the chain and zooom! He ran so dang fast out of that campsite and up the dirt road so fast, that I litterally ran all the way up to get him and yelling his name. I think at my meanist I don't intemidate anything. He finally stopped, then I had to use my nice voice so he'd come to me. And he did. But he went right back on that chain! and didn't get off.
After all of that, their cousin came over and hung out for a while. Our nephew had been fishing on the dock earlier and got bored and put the pole down. And when she got there he wanted her to watch him fish. So they went down to the dock and he picked up my fishing pole that he'd set down earlier and it was stuck...he said "I think something is wrong" so I went to find the end of the line and the hook had slipped in between the boards on the dock and we had caught a fish! with out even trying!! It was great! Lennie and I were trying to get it out and couldn't because the sides of the dock were huge, so the guy got back while we were trying to figure out how to save the fish. And ended up just cutting the hook off or something. But I thought it was great that we caught a fish and didn't even try to!!
