we went to a park:)

while bored a few weekends ago...bored with fantastic weather...we met up at the park for a picnic and to just hang-out. Beautiful day:)

our attempt to get a decent photo of ALL the kiddos together!

 UP austyn, luke, jax, peyton, homer, lia, drew-baby, tayt, nasher:)

everyone likes shoulder rides...kinda...

 

jax really wasn't loving it...he was kinda freaked out and held on to Mal for dear life. The photo below pretty much makes me laugh out loud EVERY time I look at it! Freaking hilarious;)

the kiddos stretching for a foot race;)

and as usual...Homer was bored of the whole situation;)

I LOVE SUMMER!!!! Going back to work (have I mentioned that I have to do that soon;) kinda makes it feel like something's coming to an end...obviously, my full-time time with Homer is ending BUT I have to try and keep in mind that there's still going to be lots of time to spend with him and there's still a ton of summer left to enjoy!

picnic with a breeze.

seeing as I have a millllion photos that are just sitting in dark folders...I figure I need to get them out for the world (aka. you 5 followers;) to see!

Here you are...

tonight we had a picnic with family on Jacob's side. Today was his Aunt, Linda's, Birthday and tomorrow is his mom's birthday!

Besides the wind...it was fantastic!!! Amazing food and a nice glass of wine and just being outside. Success.

The onlllllllly thing that could have been better...having my meat cut up for me in bite size chunks. Apparently, besides my excessive drinking privileges...having my meat cut up into bite size chunks, has also been taken away. What is this world coming to!?!?!?;)

UP some friendly and not so friendly lawn games. The boy gets a bittttt competitive. I think there was some awkward 'jumping' happening and some "Why dont you just go home?! that's your home! are you too good for your home?"...Love that quote:)

UP a gift for Julie's birthday...after a bit of taste testing...I approve:)

DOWN fun on the death jumper. I MEAN trampoline. Seriously. I could devote an entire post to why all the trampoline's in the entireeeee WORLD should be burned. Courts doesn't feel the same...maybe she missed Nash landing on his head/neck?! OR the fact that she encouraged us to join her in jumping from the roof of the house onto one of those back breakers in middle school. A.Hole;)

SIDE NOTE: I guess they're worth it for this shot of Lia, below. Freaking awesome!:) OTHERWISE...they suck!

UP drew baby. CUTE-E.

DOWN a and Drew Baby....CUTE-ES.

DOWN jacob and I. I'm sporting the ball cap (and have the scratch marks on my forehead to prove it...WHY must they itch so bad?! Frick) cause when I get my hair dyed...I leave with my forehead dyed. It's the life I lead.

ah. Just a great day! More to come tomorrow on the hair situation. We decided to try 'some' red. 'Some' red turned into 'your hair really grabs onto that red'...I like:)
