my next post will feature a post on my bff jill, aka marcela, and on my brother from the same mother.

see life.

FINALLY!

let the choir sing! yes, the time has come! i am actually posting pictures! rejoice!

okay, yes i am joking. mom, i know your probably the only one who reads this. anyways, these are all of my pictures from this summer so far. starting from the beginning. i just hope i don't miss anything...

okay so this my friend christy's horse. isn't he cute? anyways, the rest are all from the stables.















and next we have the wild flowers and green door with the additional random shots out the window... enjoy.





















and now is time for the red earth parade. i think my dates are a little mixed here. oh well. here are the native americans.









next are pictures from our family reunion at the lake plus some that i took while in louisiana.



























and now for more recent pictures. jc and i went on the train to dallas. i took some on the train, at the art museum, portraits of my cousins, and then more on the train. (almost done!)





















okay so they had a really cool kids center at the museum and they had rubbings (this is sam's)



plus this weird tv screen thingy. basically a piece of plastic and when you held it up in front of the screen, it showed up like this...



i'll post the pictures of the girls seperatly. they deserve their own post. they're my first portraits. so at least i think so. :]

and so on the way back home, this is the result. i don't actually know the guy in the fifth picture.









this was through the window. i think it gives it a nice hazy look.









and last but not least are some pictures i took at work the other night and some pictures i took today on the way home with dad from stillwater. enjoy!


















look familiar?





see life.

Here i sit.

I'm at OSU with my dad today. He has been doing physics-y research up here. This has been a heck of a summer. I’ve been gone from home a lot. First was our immediate family vacation to Gun Barrel City in Texas. We went to a lake house that had a pool and all that jazz. We had SO much fun. As always. Next I went home with nana and papa for 2 weeks, a little of this and a little of that. Had a lot of fun, again. Then was the Jones family reunion at camp bond, I had my first near death experience. It was an interesting trip. Fun nevertheless. And last was Dallas with the Wrights, filled with laughs and more fun. We went to Six Flags, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the dollar theater twice. I saw my first movie at a theater alone. Very exciting. Anyways, we leave for LA on Sunday, most likely. I’m excited for more photographic opportunities! I got a lot of good pictures on our reunion and in Dallas, I did my first portraits. I finally have them all uploaded and ready to post! So I’ll do that either tonight or tomorrow. I swear. I’m hoping to do some shots at the pool while in LA. I wanna buy a cheap-o water proof camera from Wal-Mart and experiment. I’ll let you know how that works out for me.
So I’ve been looking at lenses and such today. I’m ready for Christmas so that I can get one. There is no way I can buy one right now, so I have to wait. Eh, it'll be here before I know it. With all 50 bajillion things I’m doing next semester, I’ll keep busy. Wow. This summer went by too fast. I know we still have 3 weeks or whatever but I have so much to do between now and then. Louisiana, summer reading, and garage sale. I might pull my hair out. Okay not really. But still.
