Hello AUGUST...

 

...Lazy, crazy days of summer..

...I blinked and summer is almost gone...WOW...how time flies!

...I love summer!...

...I love the pace of summertime...the best part of this summer has been spending extra time with the bunny princess...

 

camera roll...

 ...enjoying the great outdoors at Nonni and Poppi's Five Acre Woods...

Aquarium Day... 

 

 

 

 

..I guess.the lady taking our picture was so busy having a two way conversation with the bunny that she didn't notice that she chopped our heads...no worries...I think this mouth expression tells all....the bunny  loves the aquarium....

For me, summer is over when this time comes...

and let's not forget...the bunny got to sleep in with no alarm clock telling her it was that time...

 ...my little Sooner bunny...

...this pic is a surprise to my girls...this OU jersey was a gift for Ali's 1st b-day from her Uncle Roger & Aunt Debbie....worn by Ali, then, later worn by Linz...now, we can say it is a vintage jersey...lol!

...very curious about the waterhose...



...bunny loves Perry and Perry loves the bunny...

...the end to a perfect afternoon...eating a popcicle...

 

~~~

...I can't leave August without mentioning that my Scout turned 14 years...It is surprising how much love and companionship a little furry friend can give a person...This little  loves her 'quackers' and doesn't really know what "the dog days of summer' is even about....She is a spoiled inside dog that sleeps on the bed....Not sure who spoils her the most....maybe, Paul??!!

With saying this, I must also mention that it's been 14 years since the girls lost their dad...It was ironic that the we found Scout through an ad in the OKC newspaper and the girls picked her out for me without realizing she was born on the day we buried their dad...I must also say that I am extremely proud of what my girls have accomplished....I can't take all the credit b/c I know he set the standard high for them.... I will say that I was probably the one that 'cracked the whip'....with a lot of love...I.love my 3 girls to the moon and back, plus more!!!!!!

...Our sweet bunny princess continues to grow and continuously amuses us...

....She is on her journey to greatness...

...Looking for things to be discovered and things to learn...

 

~~~

 

.we are truly blessed... and, Father, we thank you!

 

Looking forward to more summers to come....

 

   

         ...Tomorrow....a new month...a new day...new discoveries and new promises....!
