randomness...

just a few fun pics of our summer so far...



jen & the harley...{at her grad party}

the girls in one of their many forts...{trust me, they're not really sleeping}

our own little fireworks display...

just chillin'...

and this one is my absolute favorite right now! it totally cracks me up!

sophie...

has finally found her spot...

{she must think that ashlyn can't see her behind the curtain...

and, therefore, can't find her to carry her around like a rag doll}

scrappiness...

part 2

here are some of my most favorite layouts i've done
so far this year...{in no particular order}

you might want to sit down...

i finally took pics of the scrapbook pages i've done {since january!}...
and it's a long post!

yes, i have a thing lately for 8.5 x 11 pages...not sure why

and, these pics are not actually crooked.
i am just apparently unable to take a straight-on shot of my pages.

believe it or not, there's more to come...

i'm saving my best for last. :0)

i wonder...

how do you save your sleeping 3-year old

from man-eating bedding?

a pair of hams...

jaden and brat decided to mug it up for the camera in an impromptu photo shoot...

she did NOT break her nose!

yay!
after a dr's visit and a trip to medical imaging, we were told there are no fractures. woo-hoo!

here's the progression of her bruising...

Sunday

Monday

Tuesday

jackson keeps telling everyone

"you should see the other kid!"

it looks really painful, but monk's not complaining. and jaden's doing everything she canto keep things as normal as possible. lol!

my poor monkey...

jackson took the girls to the park yesterday.
ashlyn decided to go head first down the slide...and she shot off the end of it like a rocket.
landed face first in the dirt....blood everywhere!

poor thing looks like she went about 4 rounds with tyson {i'll post pics tomorrow}.
we have a dr's appt tomorrow at 10:45 where they will xray her to find out if she broke her nose.

my poor baby...

the st chris festival...

was back in june, but i thought these pics were worth sharing...
