farmers market.

me and my homeboys
went to the farmers market...
awww yeah guuurl...
i'm sorry, i'll stop.

check out all the fun we had:
cute people.
cute things.
tasty food.
a park; smack dab in the middle of it all.
and a dog with the best chops i've
ever seen.

what more could we ask for?
raise the roof...
that was the last one.

























(edited from earlier)
i must add that this sweet little songbird gal
sang beautifully...i was totally crushing on her voice.

pilkture.

looky look what i took.

the airplane.

the cheapest form of entertainment...
and a little bit of exercise.
(pay no attention to my feet...i'll be the first to admit; feet are disgusting.)

today.

i feel like i had
the perfect day.

nothing too exciting happened,
but i noticed some small things...
which i pigheadedly
don't do often enough.

i got to walk our little kiddo
to school. (i'm sorry have i not mentioned that he started preschool?
oh, that's right i forgot for a split second that i both totally suck and blow
at blogging)

he just so happens to be over the moon
about school and his teachers
(which is such a relief because
he's pretty soft when it comes to
being away from me and dave)

while my little boy was off learning
and discovering and meeting new friends
i got to go to the gym.

all the while my extremely kind and thoughtful
husband was hard at work, supporting his family.

is this all too mushy to take in? deal with it...
because i'm feeling very much like the luckiest.
(and cue the ben folds song.)

today was fun.

mud fight.

we were harmlessly
painting things outside with mud...
and then little bennett thought
it would be hi. larious.
to smear mud all over my face
and watch me shriek in disgust.

don't think just because he's three
i went easy on him, either...
you'll only see playful little
streaks of mud because
i hid the camera away and then the mud
really started to fly...

pilkture.

looky look what i took.

step aside, august...

july did, in fact, happen around
our parts... and this is what it looked like:

july 4th:

-family time.
-grilled corn.
-dave dressed as bruce springsteen
and i in my pink wig...that's patriotic , no?
-fireworks.












july 14th:

the kiddo turned 3 and that included
a special birthday breakfast
a crown (which he totally didn't appreciate...sigh)
a water party with his sweet kiddo friends
a 'sword in the stone' re-enactment
aaaaaaand a thomas cake...that's right. you better believe that little bennett
was be. side. himself with glee. (thanks, miss noey...could you be anymore talented? you're amazing.)











july 22nd:

this handsome chap also had a birthday.
look at his face...what a hard core birthday boy.
lucky to be loving you, that's for sure.







long story short.
july was great around here...
as you were, august.

words that aren't words but should be...

simply because i used them at one point or another
and stood embarrassed and corrected when someone heard me:

"scrame" (because it sounds more correct to me than screamed)

"eleventeen" (before you judge me...just say it once...
it sounds right to you too, doesn't it?)

"acrossed" (you didn't know it wasn't a word either? well it isn't...
it's just "across"...simple and true.

so, perhaps my english could use a little help.
