summer nights

"I started a fire!!!"
not me...Alex did! 
which is awesome
Tyler was his helper
the purpose for the fire of course was just to make a fire
but since we can only make fires to cook we roasted s'mores!
Hey it counts!
5 out of 6 people in the house love s'mores
I'm the odd man out
I am more than satisfied with 1 a year 
which of course needs to be the deluxe version with peanut butter cups and fudge stripe cookies ( and marshmallow is totally optional)
none of this graham cracker and Hersey bar things...yuck!
I guess technically  Eric doesn't like s'mores 
it's that chocolate thing
but he loves marshmallows and is perfectly fine roasting them and popping them in his mouth 
so together we like a s'more!
Ah George
we love you!
he will be 15 in about 6 weeks
looking good for an old dog
taken through the smoke of the fire
she wanted her picture taken
SURPRISE!
 the quiet man by the fire
roasting the perfect marshmallow
the "not" quiet trampoliners
wrestling for their lives
happy now but at least one will be crying in just a matter of seconds
 photo bomber

 I love the sunsets on the island after a beautiful sunny day!

 amazing light


both Tyler and Jared have mentioned how much they are missing baseball
they are playing "Sandlot" style these days
trying to round up all the kids in the neighborhood who want to play
its harder than in sounds 
they can only ever seem to get 5 kids together
including them 
but the summer is still young maybe the idea will catch on
my man
alone by the fire after everyones is bored and moved on
I know this is a cheesy photo
but I'm trying to make an effort to take more pictures of Eric 
of me 
and the two of us together
we have hardly made an appearance in a photo in the last 10 years
and that's probably not good 
I'll keep working on it
its hard to remember 
but Tyler is usually eager to take my camera 
so maybe we will be more frequent visitors on the blog!
Oh I know you are all excited now!!
have a fabulous day!

As I write this blog I'm already missing the sunshine from this day
It's raining here today 
with the likelihood of rain all week 
looks like I will be in need to indoor ideas
do you have any?
