Been too busy to blog

Well, I can't believe it has been this many days and I haven't blogged. We've just been so busy enjoying our summer. We've done a lot of sleeping in, going to the pool, enjoying new movies, lounging around, trying new restaurants, going to camps, getting braces, hanging with friends, fixing up classrooms, etc... whew, NOT a boring summer. I have loved every minute of spending time with my mom and Paige. We have giggled all summer over the silliest of things. A new favorite, and yes perhaps a bit much for our "almost middle schooler" is, watching the Bachelorette. We (mom, Paige and I), all have distinct favorites and none are the same. Paige's fav went home last week. My fav. better come out the new Mr. Ally :)

Here are some snapshots of our summer. None are edited or fixed up...kinda tired of doing the whole photog thing lately. It's too hot :)


Look who got braces :) Isn't she adorable???


She went to a sleepover and didn't go to sleep...I had a camera in her face trying to make her laugh and wake up. I'm such a pest! :)


He learned to get on the beds...SOOOO NOT COOL Marley Moo!!!


Cutie pie cheesing it up before dance! I am sorry that I am bias, but I think she is soooo stinking cute in her new "metal".


Wiggling her eyes. I swear this child can do the strangest things, like cross one eye and let the other one roam or she can make a four leaf clover out of her tongue...Weeiirrdd! ... always good for a laugh, though!


Such a tween!


Spending time with dear friends who are like family... LOVE THEM!!!


Jumping for Joy with her bestie...ok, I snuck one edited pic in :)

What have you all been up to????
