On the 4th of July we took the kids to the Cincinnati Zoo. It was a dreary rainy day but that worked in our favor cause there was no crowd. This is one of the best pics I got that day. I hated snakes but the kids love them so I am almost always forced to take pictures of them.
My kids are complete water hounds. They would live at the pool if I let them. This is at a small waterpark near our home with some friends. Mine is the albino one on the right LOL. For some reason my kids were all "blessed" with pale white never tan skin and a mommy who is psycho about sunscreen.
The slip and slide was always one of my favorite water toys when I was kid. My kids had an absolute ball on it. However, it only lasted for one day as they were so rough on it they ripped it. For that one day though they had the best time. The were going head first, backwards, upside down, and every other way. Good old fashioned summer fun!
This is our neighbor cutting his hay/grass. I love living in the country and seeing all the farmers at work. I just like the feel and life of the country. I always feel smothered in the city; like the wall/buildings are closing in on me. I love all the neat things to see in the city but I am just a country girl at heart.
OK, I know it sounds like the title to really bad movie. It was really bad to me. Never let your three year old sneak markers to bed with him at nap time. This picture illustrates in living color what will happen. Took us days to get all the marker off. This was after I had already washed a bit off. Can't wait to use this as a blackmail shot ;o)
We went to Rough River Lake to enjoy some summer fun with some friends. It was only in the 70s which is kind of cool for the lake but the kids had a ball. I don't do lake water because it grosses me out. However, for some reason, I can swim in the ocean all day. It doesn't bother me a bit (unless I get saltwater in my eyes). Our friends were camping so we would hang out in the camper for a bit and then swim for a bit ;o)
My baby girl is done with Kindergarten. This is her at the end of her Field Day getting ready for the final tug of war. Love you baby girl!
They grow up so fast and I just have to remind myself every day to enjoy each moment, good and bad, because soon they will be gone and raising their own families.
Finally got to attend my first big concert! Went to see Kenny Chesney, Miranda, Lambert, Sugarland, Montgomery Gentry, and Lady Antebellum. The crowd was 43,ooo plus but we had a ball. Great time! Great show!
As you may have noticed I have gotten very far behind on my 365. Therefore, I have decided to suspend my 365 project until January and restart it then. However I am still going to be regularly posting pics that I like and some commentary with them. I appreciate all those who have followed me and I hope that you will continue to follow me and leave any and all comments. Thanks!
