Last week I decided to was far time to find my nice digital camera to use for pictures for the blog and not the camera on my phone. While it is convenient and takes really decent pictures...as long as you hold still...lol, once you upload and try to size it larger some photos get blurry and distorted...some don't. I need more reliability so ALL week I tried to find the camera. ALL I found was the cord you use to upload the photos and was SO irritated that I gave up the search. Thinking that I would soon need the cord I set it aside someplace I would remember. (have any idea whats going to happen??)
SO Saturday my phone went on the fritz. Found out that between the plugging it into charge its actually not charging. Sunday (Father's Day) after work my husband took it in...they were almost going to give me a new phone when they opened it up and said it looked like water damage....what the heck. So we can "pay" a $100 for a new phone, which is cheap in comparison to a new phone of it's kind, but we pay for insurance AND it's still a $100 bucks! I'm gonna have Jessi's husband look at it first or hope to dry it out. Not sure where the water would have come from.
Whooo getting off base here
SO LONG story short...I was EXTREMELY motivated to find the camera with all the stuff I was doing this weekend. FOUND it! AND the charger! But guess what??? That cord to upload photos I set somewhere I would remember.....well true to Bree....I CAN'T REMEMBER.....NOW I'M PISSED!
So my hoop decor and tutorial will have to wait until ANOTHER day. GRRRRR.....
I'm dead in the water here with no talking contact to the world (which is my worst possibly nightmare cause I LOVE to chat and chat alot I do), a camera that is almost pointless right now, a mind that is GONE....AND I want a glass of wine at 7:18 AM cause my mind, phone, camera and cord placement are so infuriating that I could use a glass to unwind. We shall see how the day goes.....
Rant, rant, RANT~

Our Campfire Celebration
***The line up of candles. Campfire has a very long tradition of ceremonial candles that are individually lite and extinguished throughout the ceremony each representing a special meaning. A few being the candle of work, health and love.
Patiently waiting for the ceremony to begin. I was really in awe at how well all out kids did. They were very patient and respectful. (despite a few arguments and a little rock throwing)
Walking around the fire (safely) for their ceremony of moving up.
All our kids were in Little Stars, ages preschool or 3-5.
They graduated up to Starflight, Kindergarten-2nd grade, now they will get their traditional vest! Hooray! Great job kiddos!
The "STAR" in Starflight has very special meaning:
"Service To Another Rewards"
Bradley walking over the bridge, passing from one (Little Stars) to another (Starflight).
Great job sweetie!!!!
And here my phone ruined a BEAUTIFUL picture when you enlarge it and Jessi forgot her camera :(
BUUUUUT
Here is Evie with her mommy (Jessi) after she walked over the bridge and moved up to Starflight....proud mommy!
Jessi was also the host/speaker for the event, she did a wonderful job!
Jessi was given a few pins for special recognition for the service she puts in, volunteer hours, how long shes been a campfire member and all the great she does! She not only is the leader of our Little Stars...now Starflight group but she also co-leads another group of older girls. Yaaa....she's pretty awesome!
It was a wonderful ceremony filled with great company and recognizing our kids for doing a great job! I can speak for both Jessi and I when I say we can not wait to see what wonderful thinks we can do this coming year with our Starflight group!
