Home.


No matter how good traveling feels, coming home feels just as good. Four states in 9 days. Fishing, exploring, antiquing, photographing, mothering (more on that later), visiting, driving, more driving, eating and a full day of yet more volleyballing (2nd place!) - PHEW! Will post more vaca pics as I go through editing them.

Leave again on Saturday for Reno for a full week of volleyball. Last event of the season and should be a good one.

Oh, and I turned the big -four-oh (more like four-uh-oh).

I-da-ho

LOL, you can't visit Idaho, without someone inevitably saying "Idaho? No, You-da-ho..." yuck, yuck, yuck. Anywho, I am in Idaho visiting family so will be MIA for a bit and have already been so for a couple days. I have captured some AMAZING photographs, if I do say so myself, so will have lots to share when I get back. Everyone have a fantastic week!

Effer Dare No. 68


For the Effer Dare No. 68, "You in the raw" (take a self portrait- with no make-up and your hair not did). I even took my pic on Monday morning, which is my least favorite day if the week. I hate Mondays with a passion reserved for all things bad and evil.

Mission accomplished



Aww, ain't she purty? Carsey picked out her 8th grade graduation dress this afternoon. This girl was a JOY to shop with. We were in, and OUT, of the store in less than 15 minutes. The second dress she saw she loved. Tried it on and this was it. Of course, when you look like this, how could you not look adorable in anything?

So proud of her, and excited at her going to high school and the whole wide world ready for her to experience. I have a layout I did a couple years ago that says "Say yes to life, even though you know it may devour you" and I still feel that way. Want them so much to see and do and LIVE everything they possibly can.
