new boy pics and what I have to deal with to get them

 I was going to make comments..... 

but after reviewing all of these, I think they pretty much speak for themselves

 that's right. this is what I have to work with.

 (I just told them they're not getting lollipops afterwards)

finally..... the winner :)

And the end results :)

Davy 21, Daniel 26, and Matthew 16

I LOVE YOU BOYS!!!

Happy Friday Everyone!

favorite people stuff

Let me just say, life is a whirlwind. Here are some of the peeps I love, and what we've been up to. 

And just let me tell you, we've been up to a lot. Like..... a LOT.

First off, I've been taking lots of pics of my fave things, like the flowers above.

 Ahhh, my girl Tori and the chocolate vegan rosettes she made. I love this girl :)

 Awww..... the cutest girls in the world (well ALMOST all of them!) before prom. I love you girls!

 YESSS! Getting to see one of my bestest friends Joan, and her adorable daughter Whitney!

Are they just too cute with their matching jammies or WHAT!

We had such a great time, and I *loved* having Whitney here to stay for several weeks!

My oldest boy Daniel - world traveler extraordinaire - packing for the summer in Laos :(

(and Davy's naughty kitty trying not to be noticed)

We ate a LOT of my girl Hayley's amazing - no, seriously, AMAZING - homemade bread!!!

Listening to Davy's anti-social band practice many, many, many (you get the idea) times 

in our super messy garage when it was 100 degrees out there and yes, this is a run-on sentence.

 The gang before attending a 1920's party - SO FREAKING CUTE!

John, Ernie, Taylor, Davy & Whitney

The Mouse brought a tiny little furry baby home from work late one night!

He knew she couldn't make it on her own without her mama :(

This adventure actually deserves it's own post, so yeah, hang tight.

We went out to Westlake Village and spied on my old house across the water on Westlake Island.

It brought back some great memories - I will always love Westlake :)

Stay tuned - yup, I've been up to a lot more. Like, a LOT more!

I see the moon, the moon sees me

 Matthew's and my cool pics of Saturday night's super moon.....

wish I had remembered when it was lower in the sky, but I was still happy with these!

 It kind of kills me to admit this, but these last two - my favorites - are the ones Matthew took.....

I hope you all had a terrific weekend!

Goodnight, Moon :)

Happy Friday! 

I have 2 lovely friends - Shannon & Wendy - who consistently send me 
the coolest e-mails! I don't have a clue how they find such great stuff!

I love everything everyone sends me, but Shannon & Wendy have an edge!

I recently received these A.MAZ.ING. photos from Shannon -

Adele Enersen of Helsinki, Finland, 
takes these otherworldly photos of her daughter Mila.

Click on Adele and Mila's blog to see more --------> HERE

She only uses what she has - along with her obvious gift of creativity and imagination.

To examine all the detail that Adele has put into each photo is incredible -

I was completely *enchanted* and drawn in to Mila's little dream world!

(Click on the individual photos to see them larger)

This is eye candy at it's best, my friends! ENJOY!

Have a lovely weekend!
