Catch up . . . C'mon. Hurry.

Here are some pictures from the big Dotson reunion at Gooseberry! It was loads of fun. Dustyn snapped a few photos so I thought I would share!  Most of these are from the talent portion of the weekend.  It's the only portion that we have pictures of!  :)  (And yes, most of them are very blurry - we have been struggling with that lately.  :)  But we try to not use the flash at all, so it gets tricky without a tripod.)

First we have Gabriella and Sharpay.  They are hotties,  huh?

And here we have Gabriella again.  Stunning.

Here we have the absolute best performance of the night.  I can't even explain it.  It was so funny and I have not laughed at hard in YEARS.  Oh my.  There is a video of it somewhere.  I would love to find it.  Little Miss C was so serious while her sisters were having so much fun  It was so funny.  You just had to be there.  :)

Here is Little Miss C being so serious and being a fabulous singer.  She is such a cutie.

Here we have the cast of HSM again.  Garbriella, Sharpay, Troy and Taylor (maybe.  Someone more up with HSM could help me out here.)  We were very lucky to have them there.  Seriously though, CamRee did an awesome job singing her song.  She sang one song all by herself and another one with the kids.  It was so good.  She is going to be a star someday!  :)   (Oh yeah, and in case you weren't sure, this is my niece CamRee, Brynlee, and HadiLee and my nephew Tryen)

Another picture of the High School Musical Hotties.

Here is our special guest that came and gave a spectacular performance.  So much talent!

This is actually a photo Dustyn took over Labor Day weekend at Fishlake.  I thought it was cool.

Ice Fishing

On Saturday Dustyn, Dad, Chet and I went Ice Fishing. My dad's friend also came along. We went to Yuba Reservoir. Of course, dad still has a cast:

on his ankle, so Chet and Ron pulled him across the lake. Nice!
It was a COLD day. Luckily we had our Ice Fishing Tents. This is the part that makes Ice Fishing fun! We turn on the little heater and get nice and toasty and then just sit back and relax. The fishing was slow. I caught 2, Dustyn caught 2, Dad caught 2 and Chet caught 1. (if I remember correctly). They were all perch. It was a lot of fun. The tent that Dustyn and I were using was the same one that we were using last year. The smells of all the fish we caught and all the bait we used last year sat in there all summer. Lets just say, the smell was less than desirable. Blech. It kinda smelled like the poop pond. :p Yuck.

Of course Dustyn took a nap. I played around with my camera. Not much to photograph in a small Ice Fishing tent, but it was entertaining.

We came home, got warm, and took a nap! That evening we all went to Frontier Village to celebrate Chelle's birthday. It was fun! The twins are getting so big and are so cute. Dustyn and I get to babysit them next week for over night. I am pretty excited!

After we went to Grandma and Grandpa Dotson's for Hot Fudge Sundays and Banana Splits. They were yummy! :)

Happy Birthday Chelle!

Happy 24th of July!!

Hope you all have a great 24th of July! We are sad to miss you all! Let us know how the parade goes! :) Too bad it's not a Holiday here! Kinda sad. Don't worry, we are going to go to Pittsburgh like we do every Tuesday and get a new Rental! Yes! This blog should really be "Adventures in Rental Cars". We'll let you know what exciting rental we get tomorrow! :)

We'll see all you Dotson's at Seven Peaks! We are excited! Yay!!
