• I love the changing google homepage, so fun...this one's beautiful!
• I have been a bad bad bad blogger lately. I don't do a very good job writing about much, I think I'm still trying to figure out what I want this blog to be.
  
• I really want to makeover ye old bloggery, not feeling it right now.
• We are making lemonade from lemons around here - had to cancel our trip to Montana for now due to unforeseen circumstances...but are still planning a long lake weekend in early August and now we get to visit my sis in DC in March!
• I'm very excited about the upcoming Home Ec class!!
• I have been working on my summer mini-book & need to share photos asap!
• Tomorrow we get to babysit the peach - I'll be sure to take photos.
• I love having a pool in the backyard, especially on a particularly hot & muggy day in late July after a long day of work :)

sunday snack...

We were supposed to have a little pool party, but the sun has been hiding most of the day. My mom did bring me the {above} adorable turtle bowl...so cute!! We swam for a bit but it gets pretty chilly out there without the sun. And I've been feeling pretty run down the rest of the day. Hopefully I'll get lots of rest tonight & get back to a better blogging schedule as well ♥

celebrate freedom...

Our Independence Day tradition is to gather up the family & head to Lake Sara. At dusk, we gather with all the other boats to watch fireworks! This was actually taken last night, because they almost always do their fireworks on a night other than the 4th. We floated on the lake in the hot sun, ate juicy watermelon & enjoyed a relaxing time!
