a little bit of may...

we've done more than just watch American Idol at our house...we also watch Biggest Loser, Dancing with the Stars, Castle, The Office, 30 Rock and lots of other stuff. And...

a bit of leisurely reading (and toenail painting)...enjoying our new fan (it really works!)...a bit of working out...a yummy memorial day bbq with these beauties (and their cute families)...a baby shower for a beautiful new mom and a precious baby girl (while ryan and leah had a picnic in her room to stay out of our hair)...and a memorial weekend hike with these guys... poor, poor livvy got car sick on the way up (as in tossed her cookies car sick)...but her parents made up for it by carrying her around in her chariot for the duration of the hike. you can't tell from the picture, but they were feeding her grapes as they walked. and p.s. remember to bring your jacket on a hike. no matter what. it was warm when we started...and then all those clouds rolled in. freeeeeeeeezing. leah looks really cute with a red nose.

more to come. in the next 46 hours: two baby showers, one piano recital, one half marathon, one carnival...and probably something that i've forgotten about. i'm off...

okay so where do i begin?

first off.. did you pose beans legs in pic #1 or is she just that cool?

second.. love fans, they save your life in the stupid season that is called summer.

third..no way did you buy that door frame pull up bar that is on infomericals that are on every saturday...jealous cause our door frames would break off...

fourth..nice posture in the swim picture.. and very cute suit. ya'lls hats remind me of the episode of friends when they go to the beach and rachel has the RIDICULOUSLY large beach hat similar to all of yours....

fifth..the picnic.. so freaking cute.

and sixth.. i think you have heard enough from me:) lug you guys!

first, yes she is just that cool.
second, summer is not stupid. it's just not the best season.
third, yes we did.
fourth, you're jealous of our hats.
fifth, would have been cuter if she didn't scream the entire night.
