birthday bash

so i was getting ready to take some pictures of the girls this morning when i stumbled on a whole disc of pictures from lazy j that i hadnt downloaded...hmmmm...looks like we will have a lazy j 3 post coming up because there were some good ones on it. how did i miss 200 some odd photos?? yikes! 

we are headed up to the snow for emily's birthday bash. we cheated this year on the party planning, just kidnaping a few school/camp fire friends and letting nature entertain them... plus a candle making friend is going to give us a lesson. lucky us! see you back here tomorrow!

our cabin, 4a, part of a bunkhouse from the 1930's (i think duke said that)

the sign in















the first night i was stuck on a top bunk that slanted towards the wall with a nail poking in my side (later on i was thankful for that top bunk because the girls couldnt wake me up with all their gripes) and i was swearing i would never do this again... but by sunday morning i was making a list of things to remember to bring for next year. that always happens to me, i always do it again! lovin' lazy j ranch!

slam book 101

since facebook started consuming all my time (not really, but sorta) while looking for old photos,i found boxes and boxes of cool things i had been saving (forever). i had no interest in sifting through this stuff until now, so much of it was a surprise. i was one of those kids who always saved things for "future kids" in a strange sort of way. not sure why i thought the history of me would be so fascinating, but i collected and stashed boxes and boxes of schoolwork, letters and knick knacks. something i stumbled on that i had literally never given a single thought to since junior high school was this slam book. the word slam means something a drawer does to me on a regular basis (or slam dancing, how awesome THAT was, ouch!) anyways, so what the hell is a slam book? lets take a look!

so first you sign in

then keeping on the same line (keeping the same number) you answer each question on the following pages (its best to have a crazy colored pen to keep yourself unique)




oh and of course you have to have a couple bogus "friends" in there... see if you can pick them out

now this is real peer pressure at work because i didnt even LIKE the rolling stones in junior high!

you HAVE to have a free page, thats a must. you might get some interesting tidbit of gossip when a person is free to write whatever they want!

i am thinking this must have been written in nov/december?


yeah december for sure


ok, here is the real dirt. the ONLY reason a slam book is written is for this page: (cleverly stuck somewhere in the middle) hee hee


this easy breezy question comes next



everyone loved p.e. (except me! hated it!)... and you need a "final last words page" in case you dont get anything scandalous up to this point... tricky tricky!



and you sign out




straight from hill junior high, 1982... now you are up to date. heres to you making a slam book of your own! lazy j ranch photos coming soon.
