three days until Christmas O.o

the house is full of secrets 

older brothers teasing you about gifts

little sisters begging to show you the gift they got for you

                         

hyper little brothers eating too much candy

a mother who can't stop laughing at your begging

a father who wants to give the biggest Christmas surprise away early

                                                       
                                                 dogs who have no idea what's going on
                                        a cat who will soon be waiting on the roof for
                                  Santa if she doesn't quit waking everyone up at night.
                                                        a leetle turtle who just eats and sleeps
                                  a snake, who pretty much does the same thing as the leetle turtle

                               
                                      bedrooms doors are being slammed in peoples faces
                                         half a million random trips to Wal Mart
                                    because somebody forgots a whole bunch of stuff.

And now.. I have to go find a gift, I hid it so well, I can't find it.

wooooow. 

I do not think Aaron and Elijah are capable of being serious in a photo

                                                     
                                                         he's "all cited for Christmas'

                                                           
                             Rachel : "mawahaha. *starts laughing like crazy* lets make weird faces."

 
                                          he's all "super duper cited for Christmas"
       

                                                      I have the best siblings ever.

A picture loaded post [Part 5]

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!

July 4th {Part Two}

I decided not to post as many pictures as I planned in this post.

Enjoy and please tell me what you think of them!

4th of July {Part One}

I took *so* many pictures July 4th weekend, I decided to split them up into two posts. {Note : I didn't watermark the firework pictures, only because I took so many of them I didn't have time to watermark them all. Please do not use any of my photos without my permission. Thank you very much!} Please tell me which you like best, and I will be post the second post in a few days.

{Mom and Micah}

{Elijah}

{My parents}

{And I had to throw in some Bokeh photos}

Lots of pictures because I'm celebrating.

If you go to this photo on my flickr, you'll find out my camera was not working properly for a while. Why it wasn't working properly : My mom and I called Canon customer service to ask about the problems with my camera. The man we talked with suggested getting a new card for it. So my mom bought a new CF card for me. (Thank you, mom!) The card I bought with my camera wasn't formatting correctly, and would randomly say "Corrupted Data" when I went to look through my pictures. Something was very wrong with that camera card.. Here are some of the photo's I took today.

I was trying to get a picture of Aaron's amazing green/brown eyes, but he wasn't cooperating, this was the only picture I got of him. He looks very sleepy.

(I like the Bokeh in the right corner)

Most of these pictures, well, all of these pictures (Except for the one of Aaron) are one's of Micah. He was playing in the freezing little pool today.

This is one of my favorites. I wish it wasn't as blurry, but it works.

Silly.

He wouldn't look directly at me...

Bleh. I wish he didn't like water so much.

He was laughing because he splashed me and got my camera wet. (Yikes)

Here he is looking at the turtle Abi found.

I love his eyes. I love taking pictures of eyes.

And my favorite, though it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped.

(Look at the Bokeh!)

That is all for now. I'll probably be posting more photo's than I usually do. I am contemplating turning this blog into a photography blog, and leaving it at that.
