Blog Carnival...in summery

the topic i chose for this months blog carnival is "in summery".....what did you do this summer?
i am very happy with how well this summer went. i really enjoyed it. it was relaxing. fun. productive. the weather wasn't insanely unbearable.
a trip to six flags....


visited our friends upstate to see their super adorable baby girl. look at those eyes!

went to willie's family reunion in iowa where we ate lots of food, had fun hanging out with family and played lots of ladder ball!

enjoyed nature before heading back to city life...

acquired an iphone and had a birthday....

and i'm slowly but surely filling the shop.
awesome summer! looking forward to fall!
