hillarious video

I just wanted to share this with all ya all. Sorry if you do not appreciate it as I do. I watched the whole thing crackin up. I love Will Oldham and if you have never heard of Zach Galifianakis (like I never had before now) he is actually a stand up comedian and quite funny. This video drops the f*bomb a couple of times so if there are young kids in the room-fair warning.

owen's friend Will

Owen likes to show off his new talent to all of his friends. He must have learned that from me since I too like to show off our girls. Will and Owen have become great friends. As his mama and I have too. Jonna makes fabulous kids clothing which she sells on etsy. check it out.as well as at LilyToad

gathering at our house

we had a couple folks over the other day for a BBQ. Wes and Chelsea and their little one Sylas who just turned 1 last month came for a pop in visit. I have not seen Sylas for soo long. He is walking and talking and making that ohh soo adorable face. If you know chelsea that is her expression. It's proof that babies really learn from facial expressions and mimic what they see!

Mara and Owen

We went to our friend Earls house the other night and his lady, Mara, was great with owen. Here a couple of the good ones!

birdie scope

I found Birdie Lawson while I was at the end of my pregnancy. Her insights and horoscopes are wonderful. I have turned Becky on to the wonderfulness of her and we call each other almost every week to discuss them. I thought that this was particularly grand for Owen this week since he has hit a language explosion! Check her out and enjoy

A great part of your personal mystery is about to be revealed. LET IT HAPPEN. Sharing this part of you is potent, and also necessary to partnership, healing, and inner peace. Whereas before certain dimensions of you were an untranslatable language, the world can now become literate in the brightest and most authentic aspects of your simple but vast soul. Anyone would greatly benefit from knowing the wisest, most genuinely loving part of your being. Lo, and behold!

summertime and back yard fun

I totally remember playing in these folding chairs as a kid. What a cool feeling to be enclosed in your own fort!

Wow, our garden is in full swing right now!

Everything is blossoming and getting ready to go CRAZY! I must say that I am really proud of my garden this year. Here are just a few pics of the beautiful blossoms and plants that have survived the chickens. I swear one of these days I will have a separate garden area from the chickens. I am always shooing them out.
