life according to iphone photos

grets enjoying the nice weather outside.

 i needed to break up her elmo watching!

is it a problem that the second we get home she runs

to the couch, hands me the remote and asks for elmo?

modeling her new outfit.

she gets a new outfit about once a week

thanks to my shopping problem.

grets continutes to amaze us with her coordination!

if you don't believe me look here

i love this picture!

we were watching the cousins and i found kurt

holding mags and she fell asleep.

kurt looks like he wants to fall asleep too!

i decided to straighten grets hair a few days ago

and she has long hair!

she just does not look the same with it straight though!

dilemma

i am gearing up for fall

and am ready to buy some new boots!

i am torn between these:

and these:

or maybe both?!

hello!

is anyone even reading this blog anymore?!

i have not updated in awhile!

things have been busy lately,

kurt and i just returned from our trip

to the caribbean,

which was so much fun.

i will post pictures as soon as i get them uploaded,

but until then here are a few of

grets and her recent happenings.

here she is with baby maggie,

whom she is obsessed with.

about 50 times a day she will say her

name in a little baby voice.

she constantly wants to hold her

and touch her.

she loves a baby!

september is halfway over

so we had to go to the park before

it gets too cold.

she loves to swing!

more coming soon...

why does summer go by so fast?

i can't believe it is the end of july already.

here are a few pictures of our latest happenings..

nothing too exciting!

i need to do a real update with my pictures from my camera

instead of these crappy pictures from my phone.

but unitl then, this will do!

grets and hadlee hanging out

grets and berk at riverwoods,

we went for the taste of the valley.

it was fun but sooo hot!

grets looks like a hoarder with all her water bottles.

fireworks on the 24th

not to be a debbie downer but i am relieved

we are done with fireworks for awhile...

grets acts like a crazy person around them!

she loves climbing on kurt's back and riding around!

she might have a small obsession with it,

remember this picture?

last but not least...

grets is enjoying a lazy afternoon

reading her favorite elmo book

while lounging on the hammock.

she has the life!

i want this

found here via pinterest

swim time!

a couple days ago we took this little

monkey swimming.

she was having the time of her life

playing in the water,

watching the other kids,

(she loves to stare at other people, it is one of her favorite pastimes)

and

walking around.

she did have a little accident

when she slipped straight back

and hit her head,

but she is good!

i am in love with her little mermaid swimsuit too.

grets has no idea who she is,

but i had to buy it for her

because i was obsessed with ariel

when i was little and i had a

little mermaid swimsuit

that i LOVED.

i remember begging my mom to buy

it for me at the disney store

and i wore it all summer

until it tore at stupid raging waters!

so when i saw this one for $10 i could not pass it up.

and of course this hottie was there!

summer time in pictures

maggie moo

cole and heather had their

cute baby maggie

grets insisted on getting in the bed with heather

she is not the baby anymore!

congrats cole, heather, hadlee and bo!

parade and carnie

does anyone even care about

strawberry days anymore?

old news!

oh well, here are a few

pictures from the parade and carnie

grets and berk acutally sitting for once!

that girl will not hold still!

grets and grandma at the classy carnie

hadlee and grets enjoying a leisurely train ride

chloe doing her signature thumbs up pose! i must be getting old, this ride made me so sick!

and that was the end of our strawberry days,

until next year of course!

fireworks

i love this picture of grets and kurt's parents..

taken on saturday during the fireworks at the rodeo.

thirteen reasons why...

i just finished this book

and can not stop thinking about it!

the story is about a high school girl

who commits suicide

and tape records the thirteen reasons why

and sends the tapes to those people.

it sounds morbid,

but it is so interesting-

i finished the book in one day.

it is a young adult novel which

makes it a really fast and easy read.

if you are looking for a new book,

read this one!

happy fathers day to you

happy fathers day kurt,

you are the best dad

and we love ya!
