My Cuz

As most of you know, i visit my cousin on her farm often and it's one of my FAVORITE places on earth. It's so quiet and peaceful. We went to her mom's house and I took this picture. I took this picture b/c #1 I love this chair and #2 it encompasses the feel of the entire place.

My cousin, Abbie.

The Zoo (part deux)

Well I think the kids are on to me... I think they have realized that the zoo is our "free" place to go and that when all else fails, we inevitably end up there. I don't think they like it as much as I do anymore, but I am always surprised by how much fun I have....awkward.

This picture was taken by the rhino's. Bella is not happy about the stinch...

This is the zoo's new baby giraffe. Everyone is allowed to vote on the name. Cooper voted that her name be "Gracie" and Bella voted that her name be "Lolly".

Momma Giraffe

"Mom, the sun is in my eyes!"

Me and Don. "Love on me!"

A summertime fav...chillin by the pool.

Sitting in the yard playing with the camera. Don was all too happy to oblige.

Hi. My name is Ivy. Poison Ivy.

WWF

Sometimes before bed Don and the kids will play a game that they refer to as "PUNCH". This game consists of Don sitting on a bean bag and the kids running full speed into him and punching him. It WWF at the Cafaro's. This particular night, Bella decided to be SPIDERGIRL. :)
