~Friends for 5+ Years~

Well I've been friends with Sassy & Stone for over 5 years and I don't think we really have any pictures of us together.  So tonight, we weren't sure what to do so we took some pictures.  (Now, some of you might know them as Map & Twirls in previous posts, but they requested their names to be Stone & Sassy.)

Stone, me, & Sassy

Stone, me & Sassy

camera timers catch the best moments at times! (:

Stone, me, & Sassy.

We are in tallest to shortest. (Sorry, Sassy.) :D

You guys are awesome & I'm glad we get to hang out all the time!  I know we have our times, but there is always good in them!

~Playing With the Dogs~

This is Map (inside joke). 

This is Map,

Map likes his hat,

When dog got his hat,

He was a very angry cat.

(OK, not really a cat, but it rhymed)

This is Orea attacking Map.

Oreo chasing Child.

Good, Oreo, good dog!

BAD DOG!  No, it really didn't hurt that bad. . .

Remember when I said Map was an angry cat when the dog got his hat?

Picture proof. 

Oreo took Map's hat & ran all around the yard.

Twirls trying to retrieve hat. . .

Not sure where the hat is, but Oreo & Map are wrestling. . .

There's the hat!  Child holding the hat away from Oreo, while Map is on the ground.

Child keeping the hat away from Oreo.

Eventually the hat was returned, however when we returned to my house, a half an hour game of keep-away began.  It consisted of keeping Map's hat & shoe away from him.  He was a very good sport about it & we all ran around.  I have a feeling that 4 against 1 isn't very fair, but no one really seemed to mind.

~Yes, We All Hang Out~

Well, since my mom & sibs left Ohio on the 2nd of May,  I have been spending time with the neighbors across the street.  Even though I can be crazy at times (haha) we all still hang out!

Me & Twirls. . .

Hanging out in the sun (while ND is supposed to get 6-8 inches of snow. HAHAHA!)

Smiles from Twirls & me. . .

Me & Awesome-Dude!

After playing some basketball with Awesome-Dude & Twirls, we . . .

. . .caught butterflies!  *ok, not really - there weren't any around, but it was fun jumping*! lol

. . .Twirls spun Awesome-Dude on the swing. . .

AAAAHHHH!!!!

Hanging out a few days before - without our swimsuits. . .

Me & Twirls

Twirls & Awesome-Dude wanna say hi to all my family!

~Days Spent with the Miller Family!~

Before my mom & sibs left this morning to return to North Dakota, we spent a lot of time with the Miller family this past week!  We have had an amazing time with them & I can't wait to do things with them over the summer!

Erin, Lindy (my mini-me), & me...

Lindy (my mini-me-) & me...

We don't even wear matching socks!!!  =D

Erin & me. . .  isn't she just ADORE-able!!!

Kenzie, Lindy, & me. . .

After eating subs from Subway & hanging out, we decided to go upstairs & I let the girls do hair styles on me.  Let's just say in the end my head was sore from all the pulling & tugging to get my hair to go the way they wanted it to. . .

Lindy did this one on her own. . .

Then it was on to me. . . joy!  :P

The back of the first hair style.  Good job, Lindy! lol!  =)

Start of the second hair style. . . nothing major, right ? ? ?

. . . . . THINK AGAIN!  I have been told it's the modern 'Pippy Longstocking' look! hahahaha!  Good job, Paige, Kenzie, & Lindy!

Third hair style.  Lindy did a balet bun.  It looked really good!

Paige did the 'cute & colorful' look!  It was very cute & fun!  Great job, Paige! =D

Since Lindy helped with so many hairstyles on me, I did one on her!  You look cute, adoptive-little-sis!

Since we love hanging out with the Millers, we wanted to get together another time.  So we met up at a park in Westerville (I can't remember the name of it at all!).

From front to back: Erin, Lindy, Paige, & Kenzie

Erin did a balancing act while holding her mommy's hand!

So pretty!

. . . unless you're me & you 'accidentally' drop a water bottle on the other side & have to go get it because you don't want to litter!  DUH! ;)

From left to right: Erin, Lindy, Kenzie, Paige, & me. . .

Paige & I ;)  <3

The boys: Ethan & Zack. . . they were looking at fish & doing other boy stuff!

We had an awesome week hanging out with you guys!

=)
