as for me and my house...

they're almost over...

Carefree summer days, that is.

School starts up again on monday, so I thought I had better get a quick shot of the 'usual suspects' for Tim, before they were all too busy to get together at the same time.

These are the kids from our end of the street

Isaiah, Emily, Tim, Tyler and Michaela

(yes, Michaela is back and Tim can breathe easy again - all is right in his world!)

Poor Charlie watching from the upstairs window - they left him inside this time, and he was looking pretty left out!

Unfortunately, starting monday, this will be his post for a week or two until he gets used to the kids being gone again. I will be seeing a lot of this sad face!

cool new phone

I just love this picture!

Maggie and Tommy went (without me) to buy the new iphone 4 a few weeks ago.

This pic was taken while I was outside with Tim - Tommy came rushing outside - giddy with excitement - when he realized that he and mag could talk to each other face to face on their new phones! She was upstairs in her room, and he was down stairs. The two of them are techno- nerds!

Look how happy he is - Dork!

a night under the stars

Tim has an across the street buddy who really lives out of town and visits only on the occasional weekend. A few weekends ago, they decided to enlist tommy's help in building a makeshift tent on the trampoline, for a night spent outside.

a little rope and a few of our household sheets did the trick!

Tim and Ethan

real men sleep outside!

guess where we went?

ok - it's not even fun to make you guess anymore - yep, we went to Orlando.

This time was for an actual purpose though - one of our favorite boys, Austin Emery got married!! It would have been nice for him to have considered us in his planning and NOT tie the knot in a place we had just gotten back from - but alas, he didn't (who cares if they both have family in florida?) so we set out for our favorite family destination one more time! (this was the last time for a while, i promise)

the Forney bunch - Maggie, John, Austin, Angelia and Alexis

right after he and his new bride came out of the temple!

it was a small wedding - as they are both in school in Idaho and he is from texas - but it was beautiful and fun. Kenzie was a gorgeous bride for sure! (i don't know where any pics of her are! we did take some!)
