a new obsession...all things old..sammy knows what I'm talking about. hunting thru goodwill's and consignment stores for old cool stuff..lots of fun. Man I wish mom and dad hadn't got rid of all that stuff in our attic..racks of old clothes 60's and 70's stuff..what's old is new again now..I wonder if there's a word for vintage meets modern?? this obsession is spilling over into my photos as well..

I actually took this shot at Harris Teeter..go figure it would turnout like this with a little texture added. love the richness of color, wish it was fall already.

JUMP






So we dropped off sammy at school..very hard on miss kylie. Bill keeps telling me "CUT the cord already". Boys had a blast while we were gone. Ordered their own pizza. Yep, they too are growing up. The lone three started a jumping free for all.
Enjoying what little time they have left of summer.

a little update from the photo below



I like this one better..kinda sums these two up

Best friends all summer long






Claire and Kylie have been best friends all summer long. They have had so much fun with each other just hanging out and playing together as little girls do. I love to listen in on their coversations...so funny and so cute.

Perhaps they'll meet



So I'm back from Vegas and California. Looking thru all the pics I took, this one spoke to me. Reminds of some promo for a movie. Would make a great title for one.. don't you think? Life is getting back to normal here at Camp Stedem. Missed my family so much.

And that's what summer is all about...





Making pretty pictures...flippin out...surfin the pavement and chasing rabbits.

So you think you can dance....

I love this show..mia michaels is my favorite choreographer . It's truly amazing the raw emotion she's able to get out of these dancers. Look foward to long lingering evening meals in front of the tv and judging with the kids. I especially enjoyed this one..maybe also due to the beautiful song "Hometown Glory" by Adele. Pause my playlist and take a listen and watch.

and then there were 5...


It's been awhile since all of my kids were home together. I wanted to take some quick pics before we all went out to GG's birthday dinner. I now have a 20 year old.
That said rather depressingly...where did all the time go? Well I guess all over my face. Hate getting old but loved taking some fun pics of this goofy bunch!!
