what i should do...

I should make a promise to post every.single.day. for at least 2 weeks. I seem to think i need some good pictures or something very movingly philosophical to say.(which I rarely have). But I don't really need that. I just need to get my lazy butt off of other peoples blogs and put some effort into my own! can I get an AMEN????

So, Here ya have it! 2 weeks of posting everyday! remember. you asked for it!

There are some major changes afoot here in the 'used to be yellow house'. The girls and I are trying to find our new normal and a morning routine that gets me to work on time. (mental note: NOT checking blogspot in the AM would help with that goal!)

Then today the evil big dog chewed up the new home-phone-cell-phone. jerk. I'm not sure what the phone did to cause such a rumpus, but apparently something horrific judging from the results.

Ok, better not blow all of my news in one day.

until tomorrow. I promise.

a few August pictures pictures (2 months late)

The girls in Colorado.

Alayna lovin' the view

Westin making a squirrel friend.

This is maybe my favorite picture in a long time. it was the first day of school. and I love it.

All-American summer!

Getting ready:

Assembling snack mix:

And Finally....

The Lemonade Stand!

**Let me tell all you mom's of small-ish children (Holle!). You need to have a lemonade stand. It will renew your faith in man-kind! You would be surprised at all of the people who stop just because it's kids with a lemonade stand. It's pretty neat! **


And

an early morning push-up for good measure. (hey! It's summer!)

The haircut...

Well, Moms' hair started falling out alot, so as any self respecting woman would do she cut it off. I'm pretty sure Josh and I are some of just a few people who can say they watched their MOM give herself ....

A MOWHAWK.

(we know! she's cool!)

my runner.

On 4th of July morning Westin ran in the Jaycee's kids fun run. She got third, and even passed a boy! (not that it's all about winning, put passing someone sure feels nice!)

my gardens

actually not just mine. mine & grandma connie's:

the sun garden....

the shade garden...

Josh's idea so people don't kill the grass by stepping on it when they come in the gate...
