Brent: I thought you were sleeping in today?
Me: I did! It's 5:50!

I love my early morning walks before everyone is up and I can just enjoying this beautiful world.

*yelling at Sydney for putting the ukulele on the floor in front of her door rather than putting it away like I asked*
Me: The song goes, "When my mother calls me, quickly I'll obey" not "When my mother calls me, I'm gonna half-@$$ my way through life!!!"
Ireland: *quietly to herself* Yeah that wouldn't be a very good song at all.

We did one last can return to Michigan where we can get $0.10 rather than a measly $0.05 in Iowa. There are signs stating it's illegal if you are out of town and between the high gas prices and the guilt, it just wasn't worth it anymore. So we did our final return and headed to the beach. 

Again, that BYU cheer camp coming in handy!

My company's Chicago office is closing so they put the furniture up for sale at a discounted price. I liked one of the chairs so much, I snagged another. We brought the truck all the way downtown only to discover the chair was at another office. At least I could take a picture of the girls by the Sears tower!

There's a retirement community not too far from where we live and Brent and I like to take walks there because it's so peaceful. This time we found these little rocks:

I'm still playing around with that long exposure setting on my iPhone!

Pretty clouds at sunset!

Me: *finds weird container with dried stuff* Ireland!!! Is this weed?
Ireland: Uhmmm no.

Me: HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT WEED LOOKS LIKE?!?!?!

She started yelling in protest so I said to Brent: Isn't rage a side effect of heavy marijuana use?
Brent: Yep.

Ireland: *storms away*

Me: Ya know munchies are another side effect and Ireland does like to snack in bed...

When your teenager is almost as tall at your mom.

Speaking of that teenager, her high school had a color toss as part of Homecoming. She came home with soooo much orange in her hair!

Liesel was challenged to draw with one continuous line for Art Appreciation. I really love what she came up with!

We finally came to terms with our Crumbl addiction and got the cookie divider. Perfect for four girls!

Ireland picked selected this outfit for church and we realized she looks like a missionary!

Sydney's hand in mine.
