Day 195- Smoosh Face

Day 194- Holy Smokes

So, California needs some therapy or something. She's just so TOUCHY. A little rain and cars are crashing. A tiny earthquake and we have breaking news. And one hot day, ONE, and we have fires. Sheesh. Dramatic much, Cali??

This fire was actually a little too close to our house for comfort. We took a short drive to see where it actually was and how it was moving so I could calm my nerves a bit. The brown smoke looked amazing against the blue sky. And we are safe tonight.

Day 193- Sunburst

A little burst of light on my little burst of light...

Day 192- Parting Elizabeth

The year I was born my Dad bought a yellow Jeep and he named it Elizabeth. I pretty much grew up in this Jeep. I have been to mountains and deserts and beaches, California, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and more. All in this little yellow Jeep. My Dad built Elizabeth up so she was louder than any other Jeep of her size and age. More powerful too. And able to go anywhere in any terrain. This Jeep pulled two full sized pickup trucks out of the sand in Pismo Beach. My casted broken wrist was once duct taped to the roll bar of this little Jeep (another story entirely!). Elizabeth was the very first vehicle I ever drove. And my Dad named the handle bar in the front seat the Audie Bar, because I would go anywhere with him and even if it was rough I would hold on tight to that bar and be okay. And now, my Dad has moved on. He bought a Rubicon and suddenly little, yellow Elizabeth is no longer necessary. My Dad is making a very decent amount of money parting her out. And every time I walk into his garage and see the pile that she has become, I feel sad remembering all the places we've been together. I will miss you, Elizabeth. Maybe I can keep the Audie Bar.

Day 191- Carsyn at the Carnival

So the camera on my phone is fairly decent but for the last few months it wasn't working. I have been either too busy or too lazy to get down to the TMobile store to get it fixed. I finally got down there on Friday and it was a simple fix and now I have a camera again. I downloaded some cool new camera apps too. So I think I may do some of these for my 365 photos.

I love this one! We have a street fair in my town every year. Today we met some family over there. Carsyn got this crazy fuzzy bunny hat and obsessively played carnival games until she looked like a crazy person with her crazy hat and armfuls of stuffed animals. The toy camera app looks super cool with the bright colors here.

Day 190- Quiet Friday Night

Tonight Quinn actually went down to bed. In her crib. Quietly. I had a private little celebration in my head. I sat and watched The Soup while Mike worked in the garage.

Day 189- Sexy Sammy

What a handsome cat he is. Now if he just stopped peeing on stuff I would stop wanting to get rid of him.

Day 188- Three Years

Ummmm...whoops. Totally forgot to take a pic today. But this is newly edited, so that counts right? This is the whole meaning behind this day anyway. Oooohhh...that hubby of mine is cuuuuute! And look how skinny I was! What a happy picture.

Day 187- Dress by Grandma

When we were in Pahrump last, I showed my mom these pillowcase dresses I liked for Quinn on Etsy. So my mom, in all her awesomeness, made 3 for her and sent them to us. Quinn looks so darn cute in them, like a little marshmallow. Now I just have to figure out how to stop her from untying the ribbons.

Day 186- Not Our Typical July

Seriously. It's July 5th and we haven't even gotten out of the 60s yet. Strange. When the babies nap, Kylea and I snuggle up in our blankets and watch Law & Order. She says its her favorite part of the day.
