the past two weekends have been gun crazy fun!

Ah hello there! long time no talk! well i have been enjoying the last of my summer before school starts with the excitment of shooting guns. My friend Drew has a gun of his own and his family owns the rest. I got to go shooting with him two weekends ago and this past weekend had wes and nick join me. we got to shoot a total of six differnet guns which was awesome. I have only shot a gun once before and it was only a few shots. This time drew and i went through around 1000 rounds two weeks ago and even more this past weekend! It was dope. Of course proper gun safety was practiced at all times!!! Down range!!!!!! it was it yeld out when noone is allowed to shoot. see even with beer in the mix we can be safe! The best part of going shooting though for me was being able to be in the middle of no where up on a mountain up some logging road. we were up on the hills above Plain washington and over looking lake wenatchee some 8 to 10 miles away. Pretty cool if ya ask me!

So i have never been too fond of guns as the are scary but with my boy drew around, there is more of an easy feeling towards them because i have someone with me who is smart and familiar with them. So shooting guns can be fun and not just terrifying! And by the way its def. not like the movies show! haha hitting a moving target is way harder than it looks haha. I had a hard time hittin a phone book with a shotgun only 10-15 yards away up about 15 feet in the air. So don't let the damn movies fool ya!

At night it was nice to relax out by the campfire on the wenatchee river where Drew's family has property over there on the river. It is some 10 mins away i think from matt lords property on the river.

So i had a dandy time shootin! AS well did nick and wes. This experience was nicks first time shooting a gun and it was hilarious to see because io loaded up a clip of 9mm and handed it to nick and on purpose didn't tell him he should have worn ear plugs and after the first to rounds he turns going nuts that it was so loud and his ears were ringing! haha then Drew yelled that he had to finish the clip before gettin plugs in haha. Always a good time. There was your initiation nick to the gun club with drew haha. I had experienced the same thing the weekend before.

Well all another post tomotrrow! talk to ya then. Peace and love

This would be when nick took his first shots! the pic. is small but haha no ear plugs(ps i think he said last night his right ear still is not the same.)

This is the view from the first weekend looking at lake wenatchee. It is further away than that as i was zoomed in as far as i far as it could.

A sunset shot from saturday night. lovely!

staying busy and enjoying the rest my summer!

Well, well, it has been an exciting summer so far filled with good times out playing and staying on track with a stint at summer school. The trips to weddings with most importantly my sister getting knotted up with her true love. To working very little at indoor, to caching little kids some good soccer and assiting in the sweet remodel of my parents house. I have been mainly on track with this eventful summer and have enjoyed every bit of it. I had some fun by joining a coed outdoor team that i had my bros and friends nick and nolan play while i sat on the sidelines with my minor knee injury. It is better in a few weeks so i did get to play 2 games of goalie. Good times also when i did get a goal at our last game.

I have always appreciated the summer we have here. I think this place we live at is just beautiful even when it rains but when that sun is out man, gorgeous i tell ya! So none the less i have had many good memories created this summer that i won't forget for the rest of my life and im just too please that i was with all my family and loved ones at my sisters wedding last weekend. It just tickles me to the max that she is fianlly married and as happy as can be!

So while i ride the highs of this summer i will do the best i can to have a blast til i start school at teh end of sept. I will head off to dave matthews this coming weeknd at the gorge with my bros and good friends and will have a great time. It shall be interesting though to see how the shows play out as the lead saxophonist passed away this past week. A true tragedy but i think the show shall go on in the memory of Leroi Moore! Well i hope that everyone has had a great time this summer wand continue to end it on a high and be ready for the fall!

Love u all and i'll get back to another post hopefully in a couple of weeks!

I leave with a few photos from the great jocelyn and amby of myself and marnae! oh one of just me too! congrats sisiter i love you! And i hope you are enjoying cabo!!!!

the past weekend on the other side of the mountains

Hello! this past weekend, myself, brothers, marnae, Matt, Michael, Janna, Steve McCrae, and my folks went over friday morning to M.Lords cabin near Plain and 17 miles out from leavenworth. Its a nice little house type cabin that is on the wenatchee river. We all went over for a weeding in wenatchee on saturday evening. It was for LeAnne Maguhey (Sp?) She is the daughter of Don and Linda, my dads side of the family's childhood friends.

It was a nice weekend getaway with tons of relaxing and good socailization. We hung out friday and chilled then my bros, dad, mike, and I all drove up upstream and dropped in two rafts adn floated down the wenatchee river. It was soo much fun. Unfortuantley we got zero photos of it. The river was quite high and the women all thought it was too dangerous but in the end it was an easy ride that was perfect.

friday night was cool. We all had taco dinners and just chilled and crashed early. Saturday morning the men got up at 7 had breakfast and then went to Kahler Glen golf course and shot 18 beautiful holes. it was sweet but i suck at golf so it was a rough day on that note.

We had to rush back to the cabin and shower and get cleaned up fast so we wouldn't make us all late to the wedding. We made it to the church in time and witnessed and short n sweet wedding. Love was in the air and it was gorgeous. Then off to the wenatchee convention center where the party began. free wine and beer equals righteous times. We had soo much fun.

Just want to throw it out there that myself mom marnae and wes got the whole party started by hittin the dance floor to mr bon jovi and getting things rowdy! from then on we were a hit on the floor. all ten of us at some point were on the dace floor gettin it doen. It was awesome. Even Mr steve McCrae hit the dance floor whcih was a first for me to witness. None the less if ya want a lively bunch at a wedding, invite the harrison's,, MacCrae's and Soon to be Lord's. all have a great week in the sunshine! buhbi now

p.s. this is too long to edit so don't mind the typos haha

my sisters' boys

Hello, got this photo sent to me by email from sister. Its her boys on saturday mornings on the weekly ride to the coffee stand. Damn cute! throw it on a hallmark card!

4th of july

So the 4th of july this year was pretty entertaining. It started out with me waking up way to hung over to cope with what the day was going to hold for me. I was persuaded to hit up the bars down in kirkland the mnight before and had fun i and saw some people i haven't seen in a while but that always results in rounds of drinks so i had to much and paid for it in the morning. Woke up on the fourth in a haze and what not to do on the 4th than to cure a head ache with a bunch of fireworks! So sat in the driveway and lit off firecrackers and bottle rockets, talked to neighbors and did whatever i could to hide my pounding headache. Then it was BBQ time with 17 friends whom were attending the firework show on lake union that evening. I soon felt somewhat better when i was on the boat but decided not to drink but 2 beers after seeing the shit show the folk that i was with perform. So once again i showed pieces of responsibilty and was the sober one of the event. I assited in spending 45mins trying to anchor the boat down.(apparently its all sand at the bottom of l.union) I ended up having to catch a girl who tripped trying to hop from one boat to another, then had to clean up a bloody foot and throw a band aid on antoher ladies foot. I was kept busy but had fun in the meantime. Sober fun who knew...? Secretly my reason for not drinking besides a rough night before was to be completely aware and awake for the spectacular firework show that went on display at 10:20pm. (last year i drank to much i missed the majority of the firework show). I just loved seeing the show from the water. It was amazing and jamming to 102.5 which had a playlist going to the tempo of the firework show. It was dope. So in all a good trip minus a few pieces here and there. Jared's camera sucks becasue the owner doesn't take nearly enough pictures and it won't produce a shot at night so i will show a few i liked and one of how terrible his camera is haha. All i wanted was a gorgeous shot of the night light of the seattle skyline.
