my girls...

love these shots Laney & Kami took of themselves on the DSi...:o)

never ever...

i will never, ever get tired of taking pics of the kiddies on the trampoline...!

never

ever

:o)

hmmm, i guess i was wrong...

so, jon went to the grocery store with me today...and when i grabbed a bag of chicken and tossed it in the buggy, he told me that we already had some at home...and i knew that he was wrong, so i grabbed another bag just to show him how sure i was............then, we got home & i had to put the baby down for a nap...so he put the groceries away....and when i came back downstairs, this was on the counter...:o)

jonny's lilies...

so, the other day i set out to get some pic of Jon's daylilies... he planted them a few years ago after hearing from our neighbor that they spread out & choke weeds...
yeah, he did it in hopes of nevering having to weed again...:o)
anyway, this year the came up HUGE...like, to my SHOULDERS huge...!
they were awesome...!
however, in my attempt to catch a few shots of them, something must have happened to my attention span
because these are all the shots i ended up with....

hee...

latest fave...

i snapped this on a walk we took recently...

i love...

Ty's sideways flip-flop...he thinks i won't notice these things

Laney's need to always be different, this time by being the only one not walking

the way Brady is holding his feet

Kami being so lady-like

and the way Cubby is looking at Dad (who is trying to get him to smile)

<3

is it just me...?

Jonny swears says that I am the only person in the world that goes to the store to buy brownie mix & soda

to make at home and buy brownies & coke to have on the way home.....

really...just me...?

bowin'...

Cubby (that's what he refers to himself as) can't pronounce the "m" sound at the begining of a word.

mommy is Bommy...movie is Boofy...move is Boof...mine is Bine..................

Also, he loves...LOVES...watching Ty mow the grass

and he will stand there and follow him the whole time he's out...

we have an acre, so it's pretty good while that he's standing there...

"Ty Ty's Bowin'...Bowin'......Ty Ty's Bowin'....He's Bowin'...Ty Ty BOWIN'...!"

the

whole

time

:o)

the dining room...

it has been painted 8 times...

eight

different
times...
we have lived here for 5 years,
and i think the room is actually smaller than it was when we moved in...:o)

this is the original "builder's beige"...it was too plain.

here's the 1st color..."pale pink"...it was too pink

the 2nd color was "sunflower yellow"...it was too yellow

the 3rd color was "lighter yellow"...still too yellow

the 4th color was "cream"...it was too light

5th color was "taupe"...it was too dark

the 6th color was "sky blue"...it was too bright

the 7th (and current) color is "lighter taupe"

and i still don't know if i like it or not...!

one more picture...

until the last color, i never even touched up the painted moldings...:o)

bowie...

the boy can blow some bubbles...:o)
