so the sky is totally blown out and has no detail... oops.

i am such a wannabe photographer. wannabe, as in i want so badly to be good at it... i want to take cute pictures of my kids! out of like 100 today i only got a few good ones. oh, well... i'll just keep practicing i guess! luke was being so funny and posing himself. what a goof :)

i was looking through the pictures on my phone today and realized that all of the pictures i've taken this week have been of funny little "oops-es." the quality isn't great, but my phone is so fast to grab when i want to take a picture right in the moment!



...landon drew all over himself with a marker. good thing it was washable. is that bad that i just wiped off his arms and face and put his shirt on over it?



...luke was helping me make breakfast and the egg exploded in his face. he didn't know how to react at first... he was just stunned. when i started laughing he thought it was a pretty funny joke! (notice landon in the background. he thinks it's really fun to climb in and out of the stroller.)




...landon always gets out of the bath first... i get him ready and then get luke out. while i was taking care of luke, landon did his own hair. yeah, that's like half a jar of pomade! he didn't get it anywhere but on his head. he must have been being so careful. :)




...this one's not funny at all, but definitely an oops. i backed our H3 into the pole that has the key fob thing to open the parking garage. brock got most of it back together, but we are still gonna have to buy some new pieces. so sad. that car was perfect, not even a scratch or a door ding... now the back corner is crunched. i haven't done anything like that since i was 16.


i could definitely go without the car wreckage, but besides that it's these little things that keep life interesting, right?... and i want to remember them.

brock's family is here! today we just lounged around, went to the pool, played in the fountains, went to the library and the toy store... you know, the regular. :) i love just hanging out with nowhere to be and being able to do things on a whim!

last week we went and saw the white house. we ended up being more entertained by the squirrels though. but seriously... brock had it eating out of his hand!

we also went to the zoo and saw the weirdest monkey ever. i felt so bad for it because there had to have been something wrong with it, or it was really bored... because it kept making itself throw up and eating it! the last time we went it did the same thing. sick. i have it on video but i doubt anyone really wants to see it... (besides luke who wanted to watch it over and over!)

we're having so much fun and it's so nice to have family out here!
