one year already

one year ago she was here.

now look at her!! a whole year old.


we love this little thing so much.

happy birthday!

the best and worst of summer 08'

so, where have we been? oh you know. here and there.

ya, it's been three months. so what?

just be prepared for lots of pics.

this is how it all went down.

this guy completed a tri-athelon...

on an injured knee.

what a stud.

this one started walking.
check her out rockin' the walk.
this one stole my heart

(and sometimes stomped on it).

some of us lost teeth.

we applied lots of sunscreen...
but not caution



we took a ten day camping trip in montana
(montana will get it's own post...eventually)

these two were best friends,

but not all the time.
my sisters and mom and i celebrated my mom's 65th birthday in vegas.
( i swear we didn't get her drunk)
devan tagged along

some of the time we wore clothes, but most of the time we didn't (the kids).
ariel and kelly came for a visit.
someone got a new do
and someone else got stitches

my best friend since kindergarten, danielle, and her mom came to check out idaho,

and then they moved here!

yipee!!!

then we took a trip to louisville with my parents for wade's work.
and got caught in a wind storm

and watched guys blow glass. can you tell how enthralled i am?
and made funny faces to describe the boston ivy growing up the walls
and we had to stop by our old place in "da ville"

and check the dumpster and say hi to the gang at the goodwill

just for old time's sake.

and stalk the houses that made us drool when we were in school.

still made us drool.

and then get cozy with some creepy statue on market st.
and realize, again, how cute my dad is.
see?
and then got seperated into thousands of pieces.

isn't kentucky fun?

then max wowed us with his mad wakeboarding skills.

those being standing erect and hanging on.

go max!

and then there was lots of this.
lots and lots of this.
and lots of this too.
covered in squishy kisses.


throw in a trip to logan (of which i can't find any pics), a couple more camping adventures, and a hundred or so outings to the pool/waterpark/landpark and there you have the pilling summer of 08'.

all wrapped up in one tidy post.

see you next summer.

just kidding.

tomorrow's headline : "devan turns one!"
