heading off to camp.

camp horizon starts tomorrow at 8am!
camp
i have been preparing for camp for months.
since  taking on the materials gathering role this year
i feel like i have been totally camp supplies oriented 
and haven;t even been able to sit and think about
how truly amazing camp horizon is and the magic 
that happens once the kids arrive at camp twin lakes.
i've been so busy buying crayons, pillows, capri suns, flag pins,
poster boards, boy underwear, hot cheetos & puff paints...
all of this will become very important once i see the campers
climb of the bus and into their counselors arms.
it's hard to describe the magic that happens throughout the
week of camp, it;s almost a secret that only a family knows
and can understand. i can't wait.
i can't wait for our counselor & campers to become
wiser, braver, stronger together.
campy camp camp
wish us luck & sunny days.
see you on the other side!

totally rockin' it.

Love this.

4th of july.

we spent the 4th of july with the hasbroucks & buckerts.
lil' oliver is getting so big.
he's pulling up and exploring nonstop.
he's looking more like boot & slim everyday!
the buckert's do sparklers.
owen loved the sparklers.
we also played with water balloons, bubbles
and owen gave his aunt sarah a stern warning about smoking.
hope everyone had a great independence day!


lea's mustache filled 23rd.

recap of lea's 23rd celebration.
mustache  mustache  mustache
the whole gang rocked a little upper lips hair..
lea dana.
pops, rph.

tough looking crew.
 stella hung out under cori's skirt all night.
my mom, the artist decorated lea's gift bags.
here comes the cake, with poses.

mustache
the mustache's were a hit.
23 is going to be your best year yet lea!

jack & jill.

my parents rented a beautiful cabin in blue ridge, ga
last week for a whole week. they really enjoyed themselves
and then invited lea, slim & i up to join them for a few days.
we went up and had a great time....  
mom worked on her painting.
we played bananagrams.
*i won twice.
we napped.
i pained lea's silhouette.
we got in the hot tub in 100 degree weather.
*not recommended.
slim & dad played pingpong.
and then...
i hear lea scream and look out the window and see my dad laying
at the bottom of the hill.
mom had fallen down a steep hill while walking stella and broke her ankle.
dad saw that she had fallen and went running to help.
i think he started off a bit too fast....
and he went tumbling after.
we called 911 and it took more than 30 minutes and
slim running around the mountains to redirect the ambulance
to our cabin. they loaded mom up and took her to the er...
there we heard the awful news that mom had a 
"nasty break" and needed surgery.
mom also failed her crutches test.
i'm not sure why lea was smiling? how rude.
we had to wait a week for all the swelling to
go down for them to operate, but here's mom's leg
with a metal plate & pins.
the surgeon signed his fancy work.
 here's to a speedy recover mom! xo
