Fields and Friends

Selina (the lion) was in town for a couple of days. So of course, we had to go have some fun with our friend Reginald (heathers camera)

jumping on the tramp

Playing peek-a-boo

And just relaxing.....

heart breaker

Yes. My 5 and 7 year old little brothers, are going to be a heart breakers.

Today my mom had to take michael to the doctor and it was going to be a long appointment. Therefore, I got the job of taking the boys to the pool. I was excited, because I love spending time with those boys. they melt my heart.

Whilst at the pool, Ethan snuggled into me and said, "Kylie. I love it when you bring us to the pool".

aawwwwwwwwww (heart melting moment number one)

Then there was thunder, and the life gaurds kept us out of the pool. We were hopefull, but even amidst fairly blue skies the thunder kept rolling. And eventually, the black clouds crept in. Though Drew would have loved to stay and eat snacks and continue to play I-spy, we needed to start walking home...

College has been on my mind a lot lately. And how much i'm going to miss my kiddos. And after Drew told me that he hated walking home, because it gave him a sun burn between his legs, this is the conversation we had while waking home:

Me: so guess what?! I'm done with school, and you're just starting!

Drew: i know i know. college...

Me: yup! i get to go off to college. isn't that exciting?

Drew: no. sad.

Me: Why? Are you going to miss me?

Ethan: Yeah.....

Drew: no, cause you'll be right here (points to his heart)

how absolutely perfect is that? :D

update

well, unfortunately i didn't really get the chance to 'steal' my daddy's camera and take fun pictures. I was entirely too busy chillin with cousins, going to theme parks, eating wonderful food, and getting surprised by friends. SO, all the cute kids got played with, but did not get their pictures taken :(
oh well. i'll get 'em in a couple of years ;)
i'm sorry it's felt so slow on here. i'm lacking in the camera aspect of my life. and i will for a while, because i have to pay for college. so until then, you may just get fun updates on my life, or old pictures that i continue to like. and the random times when i can borrow my daddy's camera, or reginald, by best friends camera.

So anyways, life is fowing wonderfully. i've been in a fantastical mood. still working out a couple of parts but it's going great :)

wishing

So, I'm wishing I had my own camera right about now. It's summer and I want to dress up cute and go out and take pictures. I want to get a bunch of teenagers together and take pictures. I want to go to a park and find adorable little kids. But alas, I don't have a camera. And I don't currently have the money to buy one. Gotta head off to college! Which, is a whole other story in itself.
But enough of my whining for now :) I am going to my aunt's houst this weekend, and then I am going to spend a whole week in UT at a family reunion. My hope, is that I will be able to steal my dads camera and have fun with all of the wonderful people that I will be around. Sound exciting? I thought so.

Turkey Adventures

Well, these aren't edited yet. But it's really hard to edit pictures without a mouse, and I also keep forgetting. oooops! but these are some pictures that I took while I was in turkey!

The library in Efesus

The Cisterns

This is a taste of the beautiful architecture. There were pillars and arches like this all over the place

Cats. Istanbul has cats like Atlanta has squirrels.

The Haggia (Aya) Sofia. (or the blue mosque. I have a hard time telling the two apart. haha)
