a little behind and some recent behinds...

 where to begin...i hate when i go too long without blogging.  then it becomes a blogging nightmare to organize and post everything!!  i dumped my phone and ned's phone, FINALLY, so i thought i'd just start posting pictures and add a little caption and see where that takes me.

i chopped my hair, AGAIN!  i tend to do this periodically
because i get bored.  then a stress over the short
hair and miss my long hair and after a few
weeks i resolve within myself, "what's done is done, it will
grow back!" AND I MOVE ON....

...to this little thing i like to call,
"texting tease" with my hubby! xoxo!

can you guess what my little man is going to
be for halloween in um, like 39 days?? hopefully, we can hang onto the dollar store
costume essentials we scored for less than $4!

will completed summer t-ball! he received a medal and
certificate with, as william exclaimed, "MY NAME ON IT!!!"

william having a ball on his 5th bday with his buddy braden binging on bubble
gum ice cream at baskin robbins.
(like the alliteration?)

after school climbing wall fun at mid-columbia gymnastics.

a childhood dream, to ride a DANgEROus motorcycle one
day.  and the difficult choice to be a NINJA or a POLICEMAN
when he grows up!??

you may be wondering, do i only have photos of william?  the answer is no, i do have this quick shot i captured while hiking one day out at chamna nature preserve in richland.  ironically, my car may have been being vandalized and robbed at the exact moment this picture was snapped!

do you see the criminals car in the background?
nope???  unfortunately, neither did we!!


we walked back to our car and discovered that some PUNKS(i can only guess they were punks) threw a huge rock through the driver's side window and stole my purse and other various items on the floor between the two front seats.  unfortunately, my keys, as well as my spare set of keys, were in my car and also stolen,so i couldn't even drive.  i quickly called ned and had him cancel all my cards and then i called the cops and insurance company. 5 days and $500 later, i had my car back in working order! needless to say, i am little more vigilant about what items i leave in my car.

i scored a great spot at the benton/franklin parade under a huge tree!
we had tonz of fun seeing all the floats and gathering all the
candy that was thrown! but most of all, we enjoyed seeing emma clogging
on a float with her dance group.

it's hard to see, but she's in the front on the far right side!

pretty much our FHE for the summer!
