i am still alive.. just been super busy still wondering where a part time job fits in.. i will soon have internet access at home so that will be good also.. untill then.. me:)

ok so its been all summer.. but i had a busy summer.. here is a brief look in pictures..

i went halibut fishing with my landlord paul and tom and jim from pennsylvania..oh and tashnee went also to help.. it was a nice quiet day..

here is paul driving the boat 

unfortunately when we got out to the red x .. the tide was ripping too much so we had to wait out the tide..

here are paul and tashnee and tom talking..

paul decided to have a bite to eat and tashnee wanted some also..

here is tom relaxing eating his sandwich..

here is jim.. just relaxing on the water

after lunch it was time for a nap..

after the nap there was more waiting...

tashnee slept some more.. she was tired of waiting around

finally we could fish.. here is paul getting the hook out of the fish..

jim is waiting for a fish..

look its another fish.. we are doing pretty good..

time to head home.. paul driving us in..

tom excited after a relaxing day of fishing

here is the tractor waiting for us..

here we are getting closer..

and here we are latching on to the tractor so we can get out of the water

our catch of theday.. we did pretty good..

happy fish :)

right after i went fishing i got asked to work a couple of 24 hour shifts at work.. this was the middle of July.. i ended up working till September.. i would go in wednesday morning and get off shift saturday afternoon.. i slept at work and played with the kids during the day..

we went to the pool and went swimming.. the pool is open year round so you can swim year round...

we live not far from the kenai river.. so we went fishing many days..

here are some random people fishing.. this was before the season really opened but people on the other side were catching fish left and right...

us we caught a small rainbow trout..

others caught a tan...

to prove there were fish in the river.. paul and kathy and james went dipnetting..

they caught lots of fish..

here they are with their catch..

kathy even caught a king salmon in her dip net.. she was happy about it..

the kids and i went to the kasilof mercantile for dinner and they have this huge swing as you can see its pretty big....

near where the house i work is there is a field of bunnies.. here are a few pictures i took on my cell phone camera...

andi and i decided to go pick berries.. we got currants, red and yellow raspberries..

this last weekend i had a steel rod drop on my toe..

this is a picture i took in the emergency room with my cell phone..

status.. a shattered toe with 5 stiches..  oh and iv antibiotics.. which resulted in 2 more limbs hurting.. the guy missed the first time and left me with a 3 inch bruise.. so he moved to my hand on the other arm ... and left a bruise there also..

here i am with my foot up..

these were taken a few days afterwards .. its very painful..

4 of the stiches go across under the toenail and the other stich is on the side of my toe..

the toe next to it has skin scraped off and is bruised.

 

so thats been my summer... i will be in dallas for about a week starting on the 22nd..

my good friend auditioned awhile back for a new reality show on abc.. he didnt make it but he is on one of the commericals that is being shown on abc.. i found the commerical and here it is
