my sister.

we pulled hair, kicked, and clawed. threw the occasional punch. we fought over clothes. we fought over shoes. maybe still do.. occasionally. we had our selfish moments, our jealous moments, and in our family the competitive moments. you've all hugged me when i've cried. told me to shut up when i was wrong. even told me when jeans made my butt look big. you've worried about me. probably prayed for me. you've played jokes on me. i've played jokes on you. you love me when i'm grumpy which i'm sure is way to often. you put up with me when i'm bratty and i know i've had some extreme moments. you are always honest even when its not what i want to hear. you each have been a good example to me in so many different ways.

christmas morning always catches us at our best.

none of you can be mad about this pic. not my best kodak moment. i'll never cut my own hair again.

3 sisters. 3 best friends. love you ash kris and court.

hello inspiration.

monday i got this hair brained idea. well thats a lie.
it was a brewin' in my head ever since i went to the mall and saw this beauty.

thank you cute guitar for for inspiring me to learn to play.

this was my insiration. i always wanted to learn to play but haven't had a guitar or the patience really. but here i go. im gonna do it. as of monday i have a guitar and im all signed up for a guitar class. wish my teacher luck.
i guess if all else fails i'll always have this lovely guitar.

the best time of year.

it is the best time of year. for one its summer. i love everything about summer. laying by the pool. summer thunderstorms. not wearing shoes. walking through the cold irrigation water while it soaks the grass. watching softball. watching baseball. the smell of mowing lawn. camping. looking at the amazing stars. barbeques. the green of everything. the list is endless really.. but my friends this particular time of summer is the best time of year because one thing.

tomatoes. not just any tomatoes home grown, red, juicey, plump tomatoes. no i'm not a photographer so this little diddy i took with my phone doesn't do these round slices of heaven justice. but all you need is a salt shaker. try it.




yesterday i went to the mall with aimee. we found this little number and about wet our pants laughing at the thought of me wearing it. incase your not catching on. i somewhat.. involuntarily.. resemble a lepracaun. no i'm not a notre dame fan but perhaps i should be even though i have no irish heritage that i am aware of.

as always a success.

The fourth was a success. i'm not surprised. i cant think of a year when it wasnt. you cant really fail with family food and fireworks. i have to say it is my favorite holiday besides christmas. This year it was especially great. i thought it was gonna suck having the fourth on a sunday and all. but boy was i wrong. instead of one day of celebrating it lasted for like 3 days. saturday i was with my family all day long. the reason i love the fourth! the party started early with a slip n slide at grandmas, an excellent steak and then ended with fireworks. i ♥ slip n slides, steak and fireworks.

me and Bridger on the slipnslide.

at our best.
