7 years old...

man is this kid cool

He is insanely into Legos

Loves his electronics

Loves his momma:)

Loves math

and pestering his sisters.

He plays football

in the house:)

and is not a fan of getting up in the morning

We were invited to attend his birthday celebration at school

and he decorated his own cake:)

These 2 goofballs

melt my heart daily

I am loving this

little baby hatchling turtles...

I have had the coolest opportunity to photograph these

little guys...and learn all about them

The stretch of beach that bears the name Archie Carr refuge

is the densest location for nesting turtles in North America.

2nd largest in THe WOrld

It is 20 miles long.

It is in my backyard.

It is beyond awesome that THe National Fish and Wildlife

Foundation have been so active in turtle education in the area.

It is beyond awesome that a random string of events brought

me to participate, photograph, and experience rescuing these guys

I have to admit that this is one pretty cool thing about living

in Florida.

Far better than the 110 degree heat index.

Lil Z

loves to pull hair:)

Magic-Magic

These 2 attended Magic camp this summer.

Magic. Camp.

Hello, they have camps for EVERYTHING these days.

Their instructor was beyond awesome.

Brady Loved his experience but may have loved

the games of 4 square during free time even more;)

Keeg loved preforming and advancing her

mad magic skillz.

COlorado with friends

These girls L.o.v.e.d. hiking Castle Rock.

It so reminded me of the many times my sis and I hiked, err,

got lost on a trail somewhere in Ft. Collins (darn logs)

Pardon the very crappy P&S camera; Brad took the good one

to Alaska:) Lots of good times.

Bai probably complained the most about going-she would

rather go shopping:) but She had a blast! She often got a

little TOO brave...

THis is Kara rescuing her:)

Montana Goodness

These band of cousins LoVe spending

time together each summer

these 3 are thick as thieves and have the silly string to prove it!

Grandma feeds them ice cream for breakfast

before she busts out the Fruity Pebbles and a zillion gifts..

Nothing like family and awesome-ness to make for great

summer memories

This weighs more than my child

my husband and family members are fishing in

Alaska-rough life, I know:)

I predicted his nephew would land the biggest one.

4th of July

brought us a visit from lil Zoe

who has happily found her feet

and is drooling up a storm

The kiddos were very enamored with having a baby in the house.

I think Brady fell for her the most, though he is still demanding

a brother:)
