Lulu tripped on a morning glory weed and got a bloody nose.

target pics

Every time we do the target thing, we vow to never, ever do it again. But, we always come crawling back for more. If you can stick it out, it's worth the bargain. Aly came with us and was such a good soldier to stick it out. I think that our photographer has possibly the worst job in the universe. I am sure. She tried to trick out the photos with all kinds of embelishments and goodies to junk it up. Jude was a good sport, but Lulu was at the end of her rope and didn't give smiles out for free.

Right before a melt down.

I laughed so hard at this one. The photographer loved it, but me, um not so much, just for the laughs. She's kissing her hunchbacked bunny

So regal Lulu

Just developed some film and found these gems in the roll. Utah is so pretty, we are so lucky to live somewhere like this. These are pictures from Alpine, right by Cubby and Amandas house. We saw tons and tons of deer that day.

hogle zoo

I love the zoo. Lulu had fun, but I think she is still too young.
The elephants were our favorite. They remind me so much of Africa

The river water is straight off the mountain, it's ice cold. I can't even walk in it without my feet freezing, but Lulu loves it.
This scrapper picture of Lulu reminds me so much of Amanda and I as tykes. We were scrawny and always dirty.

the beach has become a breeding ground for bees this summer. I was terrified Lulu was going to get stung(or Adam), I don't know which would be worse. Adam is out of commission when he gets stung.

I was working in the garden the other day when I looked over and saw a beautiful large buck laying the in the grass. He caught me by surprise and I didn't dare to get any closer because he didn't seem scared of me. It made my heart pitter patter. I wonder if he is the one stomping on my onions and eating my tomatoes. Don't!

I feel like Lulu is all mine. It's hard to explain, but I feel like we have a special connection. She is like my mini me, follows me everywhere and copies my every move, including painting. She is definitely a mama's girl.

Sandpoint didn't disappoint this year. We did a lot of swimming, cruising, muling, walking and hangouts by the camp fire. We are already talking about returning soon. I can't wait until we have our own place there.

This afternoon at Muskrat was definitely my highlight. Drew and Adam built a fire and when the sun began to set and the winds cooled, it was like magic. Zach was in heaven fishing and hooked five fish in thirty minutes. The water was crystal clear and it felt as though the lake was all ours. My only complaint was swimming through the lilly pads, they got all snagged and tangled on my arms and it gave me the shivers.

We were on our way to green bay on Pend Oreille lake when the cops pulled us over for having too many people on a boat. It was ghetto, and we didn't let up without a fight, no sir. But, we went the next day anyways by car and had a grand old time searching for rocks to fill every nook and cranny in our houses.

This mexican dress completely unraveled when it went through the laundry. We had a good run for one day.

Airplane rides are no longer relaxing or used for reading time. One hour felt like five.

Babies favorite past time= playing with the dead bears mouth

Pretty much sums up Lulu the whole trip. She was ticked off and wanted nothing to do with nobody. Threw the most crazily possessed tantrums I have ever witnessed, I just couldn't figure it out. Even took her to the doctor to find what was wrong. He was stumped too and said it was probably just a virus. I think it was the people and socializing, but what what do I know? The second we got home, she was as happy as could be. I'm just glad to have my sweet, happy girl back
