Day 36

|So Proud|

Because its perfectly normal to do extreme bike riding on a stationary bike in the middle of a department store. Love him for it. Love that he doesn't take much serious unless its being a great provider, amazing father & an incredible husband. Always keeps me laughing.

Day 32

|Gross|

I'm not weird about spiders/bugs, but this thing gave me the creeps. It was 2 inches long & hanging above our heads, on the ceiling of the back patio, in front of the sliding glass door. Thank goodness I looked up when I stepped outside. And by "WAS", I mean he's dead. The Rapture came for him in the form of a can of Raid.

Day 31

|Get a little mud on the tires|

If you think you're family is a Hot Wheels family, you've got nothing on us! Haha! Every accessory, 4 large carrying cases that are DOUBLE stacked full of cars, including one that's on wheels like luggage that Jake pulls around, another drawer stuffed full of them, ramps, loops, drops, 3 story parking garages, race tracks, multiple semi trucks that carry multiple cars, junk yard/compound......its an estimated $2,000 investment into Hot Wheels Incorporated and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Jake's favorite Truck: "Grandpa Bob's truck!"

Day 28

|tunnels & ground squirrels|

-keep digging into our yard, tunneling from the top of the hill behind our house. There are tons of tunnels that they've dug on that hill. Our pretty grass is being destroyed by little critters. And our two dogs who should be keeping animals out of our yard?? Only making it worse. They're digging back, which only upset the squirrels, making them dig even more. And so the cycle continues. I do think they're smarter than we're thinking. They know the dogs cant get to them, so they stand on the hill, 4 ft from our fence and tease our dogs.....then they tunnel into our yard at night, the dogs dig the next morning, then the dogs get in trouble. They watch all of this transpire, perched on their mound of dirt, laughing in their chirpy-bark like calls. I can hear them now.

Tunnels.
 
Kind of makes me want to watch Fantastic Mr. Fox.

My favorite flower that I haven't worn in a long, long time. Happy to bring back. (click to enlarge)

Horrible, I know!

But I've had family in town & will until the 17th. I will try terribly hard to get one in & continue daily once everyone leaves.

Day 21

Not such a good photo day.....took the camera with me on our errands & just didn't find anything inspirational to shoot. While doing the evening watering, desperate for anything, I took a few & Jake even took one. (click to enlarge)

Jake's Photo:













 My Photo:
Jake's seems to have more substance behind it, blurry or not. Not such a good photo day.
