Meet Malee..

After two years of waiting.. and waiting.. and waiting... we finally got our elephants back. They were sent to Tulsa for what was suppose to be a year, to meet this male elephant..... Finally, after two years, the Oklahoma City Zoo got what they wanted. A baby elephant! <3 Guys.. Meet Malee.. And her mom and aunt.. [I can't remember their names..]

I took about 50 pictures of her with her mom and aunt..

and about 120 of her all by herself.

normal egg - Jeffrey's egg

ahaha. the picture kind of explains everything..

dear summer and fall...

Dear Summer,
I hate to say this. but I'm so glad you're almost over. I didn't enjoy you this year. well really, I'm not a huge fan of yours. you make it incredibly difficult to take outside portraits, with that big bright yellow thing stuck right in the middle of sky. but I suppose its not entirely your fault. I'll make a deal with you. if you aren't as hot next year, as you were this year, I shall not complain about you.

Dear Fall,
Thank you for arriving just in time! I think I would have done something horrible nice to Summer if you didn't show up soon. Today was lovely. thank you very much. now if you'd be so kind to keep it that way, I'd much appreciate it.

love,
me.

this was Tuesday. we went to mooville. in other words, we went and got ice cream. ice cream that had caffeine in it. caffeine. I like that word. a lot.

Rachel cracked me up when she sat on the barrel and posed like this.

half of my ice cream. I had eaten half of it before I decided to take a pictures.

the flavor is Java Chip. caffeine. again. I like that word.

Rachel held my ice cream while I took this picture. its harder than I thought, taking a picture and holding an ice cream cone. especially since it wasn't on auto focus. my bad.

Elijah made a bigger mess than Micah!

Grandma and Aaron

Dad was teasing me and said the cow's name was Annabelle.

"Annabelle"

Okay. this pig freaked me out. you'd walk near his pen, and he'd [she?] squeal and run towards you. and follow you around the pen. Micah had a weird fascination with the pig. I don't like pigs

O.o his teeth...

ahaha. you'll never guess who this is.

Justin Bieber!

One more post after this =)

Tuesday we went to my dad's uncle's house. he has an amazing garden. pears, apples, peaches, blackberries, raspberries.. [just to name a few] he sent us home with a whole bucket full of blackberries and a huge basket of peaches. [I don't like peaches]

Joshua picking peaches

picking blackberries. [mom took all these pictures. she wanted me in the pictures.

though I *cough cough* have picked pictures without me in them]

Aaron, Elijah and Rachel picking blackberries

he was like "eat eat eat eat eat" the whole entire time.

Abi and her two favorite blackberries...

Dad and Micah

Uncle Ron with his grapes. [Concord Grapes] he makes the best grape juice ever. and those grapes are... too good.

this picture cracks me up. Micah walked around saying

"eat" the whole entire time we were there!

Grandma and Micah

Mom and Micah

eat!

he said "mine" whenever you asked him for a bite

haha. I never knew he could eat an apple like that

Aaron. He ate three apples!

our big basket of peaches. ew-yum.

and.... cookies, rootbeer and this rhubarb stuff. [yes, its pink. yes, its got rhubarb in it. but its like my favorite dessert ever. I had way too much of that...]

Just one or two more posts. I promise!

Joshua is going to kill me for posting all these pictures of him. but I have to. he did magic tricks for the whole family. it was hilarious watching everyone's expressions and how they tried to figure everything out. no one guessed how he did any of them.

he shocked everyone.

Joshua's 'victim' [Dad's cousin]
