Maggie

Maggie: My puppy

Maggie:A dog who's personality is bigger than... well, everything!

Maggie:A dog who is fluffy and lovable

Maggie: A sweet, caring puppy

Maggie:A fast, daring puppy

Maggie: A troublemaker who sometimes eats plants

She came to us from New York as a 7 pound bundle of fluff and now she is on her way
 to becoming a full grown, properly trained dog.

Well, kind of...



MAGGIE!

In the first 2 shots she is with our giant stuffed dog who is about 4 times bigger than her.

That was the first time they met...

She was curious...

But I think she enjoyed it.

Isn't she cute???

Flowers

A few days ago we went to  a nursing home where my Grandfather is currently staying. They had this  AMAZING garden. I must have taken pictures of all the flowers. I cannot show you them all so I will show you my best:

There is a bee in the first one, you can barely see it.

What is the one word you think of when someone says "flower"?

Mine is "free".

How can you not like flowers???

Flowers are awesome.

Summer is here

Today I was in the backyard with a little sister and we were looking for inspiring things to photograph.
So behold our inspiring summer pictures:

The one who is running, by the way, is the sister who was helping me take the pictures.

She is awesome, so a big thank you to her.

We call her the LBG (little blonde girl)

That concludes this post, have a great fathers day!

life lessons

Have you ever noticed that the people in movies make mistakes, apologize, and never do anything bad for the rest of their lives?

Well what about us in the real world??? Over the years I realized that being honest, nice, and helping others is not as easy as 1-2-3. Something is always standing in the way. Whether it is another person not returning the duty or just plain making you mad.

It is hard to be a role model when you are mad.

Especially for us oldest children.

Oh well.

When we are young nothing like this bothers us. I like that about babies and toddlers.

Which reminds me...

Didn't we look gorgeous in our grandmothers lipstick?

I am on the right, by the way, and my sister is on the left.

I think I might have used the lipstick as blush.

I didn't care then so why should I care now?

I shouldn't.

So I don't.

Tuesday

What is it about the Tuesday of the last full week of school that makes you feel tired? Maybe it was the rain or maybe it was just the Monday rubbing off. Anyway, I was sitting here and typing and I saw the puppy sleeping curled up in a ball and I had to take this picture:

I guess the rain was affecting her too.

It was a long day for everyone.

So as I said, Monday got me tired for two reasons,

One: It was Monday

Two: Field day

Yay Field Day
