Badger VS Ella

Here is the story of Ella, Greg and Christy's cat. Actually, to save time, let's just say that Jason isn't a big fan. He tries to chase her and calls her "phantom face." However, he has recently decided she looks like a badger. So this is a comparison. Hmmmmm.

Uncle Meeshach, Aunt Ella and Cousin Ketch

Jason and I went to Michigan this week to spend time with his dad on Father's Day. (I really didn't want to sit around here, it would have been depressing!) We were up there for five days and had a good time. However, I REALLY missed Jewel. (I even dyed my hair to remind me of her!) Anyway, I thought I would take pictures of the cat relatives for the "kids." So, here they are! Meeshach is the tabby (who is my favorite out of the three), Ella is the fat, badger looking cat, and Ketch is the one that looks like she laid in a puddle of bleach.

Updated pictures of the "kids"

Although my "kids" are full grown, their relationship with each other continues to grow all the time. Jewel used to hate Shadrack. She still gets mad at him from time to time (and runs to Momma for rescue), but deep down she loves her Shadrack. Just last week I took these photos. Need I say more? (And for all the "non-cat" people, grooming is a sign of affection.)

Zoo Trip 2008

Several times a year, Jennifer brings up Becka and Neleh and we have a day at the zoo. The nice part is that "Uncle Jason" was able to join us. Enjoy!

Neleh is getting so big!

Here is our inspiration for not mowing our grass for two weeks! (And the fact that our mower was in the shop!)

The mint taste testing

For all you who are not family, this will not be funny. You will probably think this is the stupidest thing you have ever witnessed. However, my family will roll over laughing to their grave!

Background: All my life, my Granny K has had out little mints in a pretty glass candy dish. They are very tasty and she always has plenty in the living room. Years ago, maybe when I was 10, my family got into an argument over which mint tasted the best. Some insisted green, white....etc. I could care less since I think they all taste the same. BUT, us Kemps are stubborn scientists so we had to settle it scientifically with a "blind taste test." Of course, at the time, Poppy insisted they all tasted the same no matter which one he got.

Fast forward 15 years later. We now how "new" men in the family (Jason, Bill, Corey and Brian) to give us their opinion. It was a whole elaborate thing this Christmas. But, since I didn't care, I decided to get as many video clips as possible. Six months later, now that I have time, I am posting them on the web. It is also so my cousin, Katie, in California, can see these videos.

The next several posts will be just videos. I have had a hard time just trying to post them.

In honor of my Pond Pal

My older sister, Jennifer, wanted me to take this little quiz. Since she posted hers on her blog, I will do the same! I would like to use my "pride" and say I have come a long way from 5 years ago! (My wrath would have been high!)

Greed:	Medium
Gluttony:	Low
Wrath:	Very Low
Sloth:	Medium
Envy:	Very Low
Lust:	Very Low
Pride:	Medium

NEW color!

I recently realized that I have had my blog for a year. The funny part is that I can't STAND the ugly lime green header. But during the school year I really don't have time to mess with it. Now that school is out and my silly test is over, I can concentrate on more important things.....like my blog! So, I decided to change the template to the blue. No, it is not UK blue!!!!! (Try Michigan blue or anything besides UK blue!) I will put up new pictures of my felines soon.
