Personality quiz!

A friend and I were on a roll the other day doing these together!!

Yes, it was probably a waist of time! But it was really fun!! 

This was probably my favorite one I got!! Awesome movie! (At least I think so. :) 

And I loved this one!! Made me laugh when I saw it. :) 

Anyway... Random post! 

Wonderful day, wonderful friends :)

I promised some pictures, so here they are!! Emily had her birthday a few weeks back but I just now took the time too get these on here. Hope you like them! :) 

Michael's love language is gift giving!

Crazy little monkey climbing in all the pictures!

And I got a pictured with the birthday girl!! It's wonderful having so many best friends right there at your side everyday!! 

Random songs lyrics

Because I haven't posted anything in way too long....!! This is a really random post with some random song lyrics that I like, and I'll try to post pictures later this week because I have a lot!! 

Until then....

I wanna do something that matters, say something different

Something that sets the whole world on its ear

I wanna do something better with the time I've been given

I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life

Leave nothing less than something that says I was here

~I was Here~ 

I'm through accepting limits

'cause someone says they're so

Some things I cannot change

But till I try, I'll never know!

~Defying Gravity 

Switch on the sky and the stars glow for you

Go see the world 'cause it's all so brand new

Don't close your eyes 'cause your future's ready to shine

It's just a matter of time before we learn how to fly

Welcome to the rhythm of the night

There's something in the air you can't deny

~When Can I See You Again Lyrics 

Love like I'm not scared

Give when it's not fair

Live life for another

Take time for a brother

Fight for the weak ones

Speak out for freedom

Find faith in the battle

Stand tall but above it all

Fix my eyes on you

~Fix My Eyes On You 

Happy birthday Emmy!

      

Happy birthday Emily!! 

Because you have one of the hardest names ever to make into an acronym!!!, I'm going to just do a quotation for you. :)  

"Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can read." Mark Twain~

If you had a k in you name it would have been easy to find the perfect word for it! You are very kind Emmy! Keep at it!!!  

Luv you Emmy!

Pictures from June!!

Tubing!

So we got to spend the afternoon at a friends lake house with a couple of very fun families!! 

If you have never been tubing than you are missing out!! It is so much fun! :) (until the next day when your arms, chest, and back, feel like they will never function properly again.)  

I don't know how many times I got flung off. Mr. Austin is a mean driver!! 

I think Ryan is scared. :P He's thinking about what is about to come. No, just kidding; he and I agreed it was one of the most fun days we had had in a really long time. 

Last picture. :( we didn't take very many. Michael, Ryan, me and Grant all taking a brake after nearly 4 hours of holding on for dear life. :D 

It was and amazing day!! 

Happy fourth!!

"I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more."

-John Adams 

Could he be any cuter?

     

The best mom ever

      

As much as I like to write (anyone who knows me well knows I want to publish a book someday) I can never think of anything sweet and suitable to say on a blog. Really! 

So I'll have to be content with just putting some pictures on here and knowing that if I could I would say something trully stunning with it's brilliance!  

But in case anyone was wondering I'm pretty certain I have the best mom in the world. :) At least for me she is. 

more pictures

These are a few more pictures from the botanical gardens. Hope you like them!!  

A Better Way

I'm not alone, I really believe

You never go, You never leave

Here and now, You always stay

I love you could not be said a better way

It's everything You've promised

There's no greater love than this from prophets until today

A man laying down His life for His friends

Your sacrifice has spoken, You gave everything

And I love you could not be said a better way

I am forgiven, I clearly see

It's why You came to do all you did for me

Trading earth with heaven, You took my place

I love you could not be said a better way

It's everything You've promised

There's no greater love than this from prophets until today

A man laying down His life for His friends

Your sacrifice has spoken, You gave everything

And I love you could not be said a better way

Because You redeem, I know what's to come

Everything I could lose here, You've already won

So You have my surrender with passion obey

I love you could not be said a better way

It's everything You've promised

There's no greater love than this from prophets until today

A man laying down His life for His friends

Your sacrifice has spoken

And I love you could not be said

And I love you could not be said

And I love you could not be said

And I love you could not be said a better way

Tiny vacation

I haven't posted many pictures of late and I know it's what everyone likes best so here are a bunch and I'll get some more up here before to long! :-) 

We went to the botanical gardens earlier this week, after a few to many chaotic weeks we decided what we really wanted was to pretend like we were all still young and go spend the day together. 

Treat it almost like a very short vacation. :)
