Summer: Sparklers

And the Light shineth in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not.

Summer: Movie Nights

SO these pictures start at the end of the night, so if you want the real schedule of events, start at the bottom of the post.... and if you care, then carry on!!

Joe and Kodiak looking for Kodiak's keys which Ryan just tossed.


Kodiak emerging from the bushes looking somewhat dazed....

...But victorius with his keysss!!!!!!!

Ryan!!!!!!

Joe and Hannah messing around after Hannah kissed him. Too bad his hand was blocking that picture!!

Awwww....sibling love!! Joe's face is priceless!!!

Ryan again!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO-Kodiak you're not supposed to look at the camera!! Actually I think I said something like "Candid shots are better!!" : )

Ah, that's better.
Joe-- I don't know what we were all talking about.....

Hannah was being really goofy. : )

happy Libby talking to Sam!!

I just realized all these pictures are in the exact reverse order as what they were taken...huh.

Great movie, by the way: Monsters vs. Aliens..... soooo funny. : )

Summer: Friends

Okay, so these pictures are a few weeks old (obviously-Matthew is in them), but I wanted to post them because this was sort of us kicking off the summer----at Culver's. Yes, I know, but we usually end up there like a billion times in a summer anyway!!

I debated whether or not to post this picture, but I figured since Joe doesn't read my blog I wasn't going to worry about it. I love his face!!! lolz

Stinks that Matthew won't be in any more pictures til August... : (

Summer

(I have no idea where all of these images came from, so I'll just say "Thank you, Google.")

: )

Alice....the flowers are about to sing! Come quick!

A picture from the Franklin's garden.... maybe it's about to sing? ☺

The Future.....will be here tomorrow; sorry for the wait! ☺

So I suppose I should post something, eh?

Well, this week past week was mostly a disaster, aside from the fact that my recital went well and I didn't mess up like I thought I would. Then we went up to Northland for Springfest, which wasn't awful, like I was afraid it might be--I got to spend a lot of time "bonding" (as per Maria) with our younger girl which was....interesting. ; ) And fun all the same!

I have TONS of pictures to post, because even though last week left me sort of....deflated and 'depressed'I actually got more than a few things accomplished!!

Hopefully today or tomorrow will be the lucky day (i.e.-lucky as in "I have enough time") that all my nonsense from the past week or so gets posted!!

OH!!!!! I do have one SUPER-EXTRA-CRAZILY-AMAZING-HAPPY-MAKING-WONDERFUL-ALL-SURPASSING-FANTASTIC thing that I MUST put up!!


MATTHEW AND RYAN WILL BE HOME THIS SUNDAY!!! And I'm sort of freaking out because we're trying to plan a get-together with all of us before Matthew leaves for the ENTIRE SUMMER!!

Which reminds me: Leah, could you ask your father or husband if we could perhaps do a bonfire?? Thats our best idea, but we need to pick out date and time, cos APPARENTLY Kodiak has to know because he is SO BUSY this coming week. ; )

Thats all for now!!

the post without a title!! ☺

Sitting here listening to fifties Christmas music (yes, I know what time of year it is ), after my super-soaking walk home from work in the rain.

It actually was more than enjoyable, aside from the fact that it was my work uniform I had to walk home in. I didn't mind getting so wet, I had forgotten how much I love the rain and storms... ☺

And I finally know what rain smells like!! ☺
