end of summer randomness...

first of all....IT'S RAINING!!! i mean, thundering, lightening, loss of power...really hard RAIN! our dog is about as far back in her dog house as she can go. she probably thinks the world is ending. i'm sure the lubbock weather men all think we're gonna die. but i love it!!!!!!!

we haven't done anything major around here lately. i started school on august 1st, so our summer has pretty much ended. i was looking through the last few pictures on my camera and found a few fun ones.

the girls can't get enough of barbie fashion fairytale


or enough make-up



this picture just makes my heart swell up out of my chest.


we did some "milk art" outside in the driveway - just a little milk and food coloring. kaitlyn was really into it. 





i'm guessing claire took this picture with the camera lens half open. i thought it looked cool. shout out to neil and britt!


we made some homemade stamps out of water and milk bottle lids with foam stickers on top. worked great and the girls loved them! 




up until tonight we haven't seen rain in months and months. so we just made our own. i sat in the chair with the water hose pointed straight up and the girls played in the "rain" with their umbrellas. 




sunday my aunt carla and her 3 boys drove in from washington state! it was so fun to see them. the needham's came in from midland...and we just had a good ole time! we had bbque, brisket, and even went bowling. hilarious. fun memories! 

here are 7 out of 12 of the cousins on my mom's side. 


this is what i am doing these days. i'm just in week two, but i'm loving it so far. waiting for the hard part to kick in. any day now i'm sure.  


if i'm not at school, you can find me here. i had to change my little dresser into a desk "area." it's unreal the amount of stuff we have to print out. they don't give you anything...their way of cutting costs, i guess. i am going through the paper and ink! 


cut my hair 3 inches today! feels sooooo much better. 
you're welcome for the dorky picture. 


that about does it for now! happy end of summer!
