Girls Night out w/ a Girlie

So...last Tuesday us gals went out and once a month (starting last month) Ryenn has joined us ladies. So here are pics taken by my gorgeous friend Heather, who wasn't feelin' that night to include herself, of Tamara and I and Ryenn. Some of the me and ryenn pics are w/ the "hipsomatic" (?) effect on the i-phone. We enjoyed cheese and chocolate fondue.

So...for the 4th of July weekend, my family managed to all be together for the first time in 9 years. Let's start with my kids cause, honestly, they're my favorite.

This is only one roll of film. That's right. FILM. And while I soo long for a fabulous digital camera (and I mean fabulous...thus the lack of one now cause fabulous costs hundreds of dollars) I do find that cropping film shots are great! No pixel issues whatsoever. :)

More to come! It was a whirlwind of a trip and it was awesome to see my siblings and visit with all of us together! The cousins all got along so awesomely! Truly a momentous occassion.
