We had the best time ever on our annual trip to Colorado. I’m already dreaming of next year. How was your weekend?

Gus literally takes the best candid shots. The last couple of weeks I’ve had the screen saver on the left + laughed every time I opened my phone. Now I have the one on the right + it makes me laugh so hard. We call it his pre-game face.

What is your screen saver?

Washington was banging as usual. We came back tan, happy + excited for the next reunion. Also, isn’t the purpose of family reunions to do super redneck things like, construct a water slide down the side of a canyon (pictured) or launch watermelons from a water balloon launcher over said canyon + shoot them out of the air with shotguns (not pictured). Don’t worry neither water slide nor launcher were hurt in these activities.

We had such a nice time in Washington with friends + friends. I was able to play around with our camera + the time lapse app on my iphone. I have more pics to post tomorrow, but I just wanted to share these two things with you tonight. The above is the panoramic view from Chris’ Uncles house + below is a time lapse video we made while driving through Idaho + Oregon.

We are getting ready to go out of town for the weekend + I am cleaning like a mad lady. One of my top 5 favorite things in life is returning from a trip to a clean sparkly house. So, all of the sheets must be changed + the floors mopped before we leave in a couple of hours.

Does anyone else feel like August just might bowl them over? On top of school registration + school shopping, we’ve got two big trips, a few craft shows + we are trying hard to squeeze every last drop out of summer. And, maybe I’m feeling a little emotional because my baby is starting kindergarten this fall. I’ve got posts lined up for the rest of the week so I will see you on Monday.
