Um...hi.

Presenting... in bullet-ed (or dashed) formation (or format)...dot  dot dot...

AN UPDATE.

What the...?

I know. Me too.

- It's Summer. Yay!
- My dear sweet husband built me a rock patio. With rocks he himself found, brought home, buried in the ground and puzzle pieced together.
- Allergy season is over! Hippity hop hooray!
- I still really like chocolate.
- Our children are doing well and we are all healthy.
- The person who came up with Summer Vacation should have a plaque made in their honor and displayed in the local post office.
- I made my very first successful turkey pot pie and not a scrap of it was left over.
- Laynee is becoming quite the artist.
- Corrine is one of the fastest runners on her middle school track team.
- Hunter's skills with the bow-staff are coming along nicely.
- We really don't have a bow-staff.
- Hunter and Laynee are becoming BFF's once again after a brief hiatus on her part.
- We went and have come back from an amazing trip to Utah. I drove the whole way all by myself. I'm growing up.
- Traveling through 3 states, driving over 1,000 miles with 1 teenager, 1 tween-ager, 1 Indigo child (scroll down to where it says "What are the behavioral patterns of Indigos?" This is our Laynee. Except for the part where it says they are anti-social. She is not anti-social.), and 1 Golden Retriever deserves its own book written and illustrated by the parents of said travelers, and placed on a shelf inside a shadow-box on an easel in the county library.
- Our house is for sale. Know anyone who wants to live here? They will not be disappointed. Promise.
- The full moon does not affect me. Much. Would it have anything to do with the pearls I have sewn into my underwear to protect me?
- Went on a 9 + mile hike with Miguel and Laynee up to the (almost) top of an extinct volcano. We did not die.
- I would like to share these with you:

Tam, Piper, me and Tata.

Hunter and Alexa. BFF's.

Cecy, Corrine and Cass recreate a scene from The Sound of Music. Sortof.

Saying good-bye to family from Chile was not an easy thing to do. Loved our time with them.

I would like to draw your attention to the middle of the picture. Laugh. Because it's hilarious.

Miss Kylie marches to the beat of her own accordion.

She has officially become a pet owner. Two African Dwarf frogs. She was so proud.

Pedicures!

Mi Mama-in-love. Not in-law. That's lame.

This is not lame.

Visiting our Boone-y Baby. 

Mermaid tail. Hand-stitched and made with love by two someones who love her and stayed up until 4:45 am to finish it before she woke up.

Cousins! 

Lagoon day. Rainy Lagoon day. Super fun rainy Lagoon day.

Second tooth lost! Woot woot!

This ride freaked Hunter out. But he was a good sport and went with Roo.

Hello there K-Bear.

Mom and Kev.

Amazing that I haven't been asked to go pro with my modeling. 

This one turned into a little fish during our Utah stay. I could not get her out of the water. It was great!

Omee and Layna.

Lincoln turned 2!  We spent the day with him and Kevin and Carrie at 7 Peaks. We are totally going to go back next year. Seriously so much fun.
