Family and Biology?!?

Ok, so I am a HUGE nerd. This is one of my professors and a fellow student and me at a Biology conference in Memphis. It was a lot of fun! We were there for a couple days and got to mingle with lots of other Biology people, fun stuff!
This is another picture of us at the conference.
Wahoo! Memphis!
While we were there we went golfing! This is me and Bobbiejane just getting our golf on!
I am a crazy driver, but I love driving golf carts!
This was a real lung (from a pig) that they hooked up to an air compressor, they lung would actually breath. The purpose of it was to show what smoking does to our lungs. As you can see the lung is gray (from actual carbon buildup). There was a bottom segment of the lung that didn't do anything, which represents what happens to a smoker's lung. SO COOL!
A model of DNA...
Bobbiejane and me just hanging out in one of the conference rooms.
This is my favorite picture! That is Bobbiejane and me with Ken Miller! He is famous in the Biology world, he wrote the book I used in high school. He is also a professor at Brown University. We also got to meet Jane Reese who wrote the books we use in our college courses, it was sweet!
That is me on the corner... and yes, that is Elvis behind me! Memphis is a cool place!

Holy cow, my niece is my favorite person ever! This is just a cute picture of us...
I only posted this picture because I love Brinley's face is this one!
Brinley loves to do hair and always wants your approval afterward, it's SO cute!
My brother and I went mountain biking one day, it was really fun!
Just me and my bro before went went mountain biking.


This is my brother Bryson and me. I asked him to smile, and that is what he gave me... don't you just love his hair too?!
This is Bryson and me being homies.
My brother Bud and I had a bubblegum blowing contest. We were only allowed to have 3 pieces but the bubbles were still huge... Bud had a lot of trouble keeping it out of his eyebrows!
Needless to say I think I won the contest, but it was a close one.
My niece Brinley was so intrigued by the contest, it was cute!
