Well I DID promise everyone Friday Fotos this week, SOOOOOOO
Here's what we've been up to for the past TWO weeks! (I'll do tech comm next. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm wide awake or half-asleep---I don't get it!)
I've met Miki, I've met Jenni, and now I can add Aubrey to my list of blogging friends met:
Yup! There we are at the Golden Spoon enjoying our yogurt while our children run amuck taking pictures of eachother. (I got some hilarious photos as a result!) Aubrey is a cutie pie in person and I'm so glad we got the chance to chat for a while. Hi Aubrey! Queen Shiner---you're next, right?!Elena--remember those sunflower seeds you sent me when I was sick? Look at what they grew:
I love 'em! And look at the Zinnias behind them. Who but God could create a plant that would grow a pink flower, a purple flower, a yellow flower, a red flower, and a white flower ALL AT THE SAME TIME?! Yes--I take about as many pictures of my flowers as I do my kids. Speaking of which----here are my kids :)! ............
Loves me a pile of boys!If you ever want the most INCREDIBLE tricep and ab workout, just try stretching the top to a trampoline all by yourself! Whoa Nellie! I was praying for divine strength near the end of this task, but I DID IT :)!-----
Look how HIGH James is bouncing! Hilarious! So glad I made this investment. Even Dave Ramsey approved.
Mmmmmm........Who made those fine, perfectly toasted marshmallows?
That would be ME!----This is how we spent our Labor Day. Sitting around our fire pit roasting various things. I know, we're pathetic homebodies, but we had fun :)
And so this weekend:Be excellent to one another and party on dudes! (and if any of you can name that movie, congratulations!!!------you're old :)!)
*Zane would like for me to let those who are readers of his blog know that he has FINALLY put a new post up. It's about him being student of the month, and he didn't want me to tell the story and ruin it for him. BUT I am soooo proud of my kiddo (wiping away a tear).

Great pictures! I always wanted an inground trampoline.
So great to have you back. I love foto friday. We are homebodies as well. That Labor Day activity looked like my kind of fun.
Have a great weekend. Good luck with the school work and congrats to Zane!

I'm not ashamed to know of the Bill and Ted empire. Am I right? Now I'm second guessing.
Love that trampoline!
Um, that would be Bill and Ted's Most Excellent Adventure featuring the One and Only Keanu Reeves. Thank you very much. LOVED THAT MOVIE! I may have to do a flashback on it. Great pictures. Several bloggers and I have talked about getting together in real life, but haven't yet. You put us to shame!
Oh come on now! Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure! Tooooo easy!
And I love your trampoline pictures. Putting it over a hole in the ground was sheer brilliance.
It's official...I'm old. *SIGH*
My girls are homebodies. The boy, not! Love the inground trampoline, if I had thought about that yrs. ago, I would have let my kids have one.

Sounds like you had a most excellent adventure with your boys this past weekend (did you seeeeee Keanu on my blog?!)!
I haven't been over here in a little while...okay, that's totally a lie...I've been over here a-lurking like every day, but haven't had the time to comment--I've missed you!
I just wanted you to know I've been thinking about you and *everything* you're going through. I have big faith in you though girl--I can tell you're fiesty (sp? darn it)! And you are such a wonderful momma. I mean, look at you!
Glad you got to meet some blogfriends. You knooooow...if you're ever in Oregon...;D
I feel your lack of computer skilled pain...hang in there! That class has nothing on you! :)
Is it strange at all when you meet someone in person that you have gotten close with online? It is for me.
fun photos. how can we read zane's post?
Thanks for rubbing in how old I am, always a good start to my weekend. :) Our Labor Day was rained out but we still did marshmallows over the BBQ.
Ahhhh... look how pretty your garden grew! I'm glad you were able to find a spot for the sunflowers. And YES, I can imagine how hard it would be to pull a tramp top by yourself. That is TOUGH work, you've got some guns to get done! So fun to meet the bloggy ladies. I dream about booking an entire cruise for just blogging buddies. How fun would that be? One more thing, you let me know when Queenie comes to town, I want to meet her too. :) (Speaking of that I think we're coming the first weekend in Oct. You going to be around?)
my godness jennifer: spending the last summer holdiday AT HOME!!! well, just join our club. the biggest thing that we did all that day was go to my parents for dinner...that was it. yuck, yuck! nothing exciting here either...but at least we had fun, eh?
have a great weekend!
Oh come on.. we aren't old! We're retro!! Love me some Bill and Ted's! I spent Labor Day weekend listening to 80 hours of 80's music on VH1 classic! LOVE IT! My kids growned when I was dancing around singing~~!!
I have to add.. I LOVE that version of Only You by Joshua Radin.. The YAZ version was played at my wedding.. I'm off to download this version to my MP3~!!
I got it, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and YES I am older than dirt and proud of it. Okay I am not but it sounds good right?!
Yes we are going to meet and soon, that you can count on.
Sending blessings for an excellent weekend!!!
Bill and Ted:-) Hee, hee, hee. Yes..I am old also:-(
Great pictures!! I love toasted marshmallows and a great smore:-)
♥ How fun! :)
a trampoline! lucky kids !
Great pictures! Your very pretty :)
Fun marshmallows! That's more than what I did for Labor Day!
I loved all the photo updates! How great that you got to meet another blogging buddy. I find myself noticing comments from IRL friends on favorite blogs, like yours, and thinking, "Wow, you are so lucky to get to hang out with her in person!"
I found out that a blogging buddy's daughter lives in my town, and our children are involved in some of the same activities. So maybe we'll get to meet someday.
And one last thing, I noticed your comment on Jenny for her SITS day. I had to laugh because I was drawn to her white dresses post first, and then you mentioned me there. My husband thought I was a little kookie to interrupt his football game watching to tell him how touched I was that you mentioned my blog and called me your friend. But anyway, thanks! You are so sweet!
Love it! We are homebodies too! And as far as that quote...I am old but not sure what movie it's from. I might venture to guess it was Fast Times at Ridgemont High...which I've never seen anything but clips of...It sounds like something from that movie, though. Glad to see you back!
I love me a pile of boys too...only my pile is only half as big as yours :( Nice job on the roasting of marshmallows :) Here's to hoping you have a restful weekend :)
Is it strange that I visit your blog several times!! I finally have to tell myself, "you only get to go see other people's blog's if you blog yourself!" Oh, I'm in such bloggy block right now...and I'm totally breaking my rule.
Anyway, love Fridays...love 'em. That first picture of your boys was very cute. Oh, and it's fun to see my name again right on your very own blog! Why is that so much fun for us silly girls? It just is!
Wishing you well, and movie time will have to happen....next year. lol...j/k. When will things ever settle down? I'm going to watch for a MUST SEE, and then we're going...even if you have to bring your computer with you...it counts.
Best bloggy wishes...
Awww, I love that pile of boys photo--that is so sweet. I love pictures that look good while also capturing the essence of the moment.

I am old. And my hair needs to be dyed. Cause I have procrastinated it for way too long - it is sooo gray. Thanks for the reminder :-)
And that is so cool that you are meeting your bloggy friends. I am going to meet one tomorrow for the first time!
So fun to meet blogging friends in real life....and what fun was had by all over Labor Day. :)
I love that picture of the boys. So real, happy, and fun.
Hey, nothing wrong with a little pyro-love. I know you are secretly one too Jennifer.
I am amazed at you stretching that trampolene by yourself!
I'm jealous of all the blog gals you have met. I guess no one want to travel to or live in the hot ol' state of Texas!
Love all the pictures! And how fun to meet bloggy friends in real life.
How cute! Yes, a trampoline can be a big workout! We love our fire pit too...it will be great memories!

Wow!!I so remember that movie! I don't consider myself old.....just older. ha ha. What a fun weekend! We spent ours in McCall biking on Saturday and freezing on Sunday!! The boys caught 7 fish and we ate them on Monday.
I want some Burnt Marshmellows!
Love the picture of all the boys..and your feet too! You got to meet another bloggy friend. How fun is that? Someday we WILL meet ! Face to face.:-) And the fact that you got that trampoline on there! I know how hard that is. You are one strong girlie. Not that we didn't already know it, but man! Now we know you really can do anything:-)
Your blog is amazing. Hope you will stop by mine and say hello too. Have a great week. Robin
Crap. I'm old. Oh well... I have to say that I am envying your jeans and hoodie. I am in Florida and still sweating to the nineties. (that's degrees!)
It was so nippy up there on Labor Day--and I almost didn't take jackets.
I've decided that for good pictures, I need a massive camera and a Zaney photographer.
Oh, and Lexie's yogurt is still in our freezer. Yes, I took it home to freeze at the cousin's, hauled it ALL THE WAY HOME in the cooler so it could melt again, so I could let it freeze again in my freezer.
I think I'm too frugal.
I'm not ashamed to immediately recognize that quote from Bill & Ted, first spoken by Keanu, who is now a "serious" actor!
Visiting BATW!
