There's oranges and lemons in the backyard.
We've made it a habit to have fresh-squeezed orange juice or lemonade at least 3x a week. 
And for those of you who know,
I make a meeeeaaan batch of lemonade.

Guess what book I'm reading? Favorite quote so far:
"We want cattle who can finally become food; He wants servants who can finally become sons. We want to suck in, He wants to give out. We are empty and would be filled; He is full and flows over. Our war aim is a world in which Our Father Below has drawn all other beings into himself; the Enemy wants a world full of beings united to Him but still distinct"

I don't understand Settlers of Catan, but maybe I will give it a chance. Just not tonight.

The stake social's theme was "Italian Night"
So we were Rick-otti and Liz-guine.
And your comment is funny because I most DEF prefer vertical photos. :)

I'm discovering that I'm a sucker for landscape orientation. Also, sometimes I'm amazed at what this camera can do.

Watching videos of pandas playing on a slide with these boys will always be the best ending to my day.

So much depends on
a red wheelbarrow
that holds the many loads of weeds that I plucked from the ground
as my contribution 
to the backyard project.

It's the bird-feeder tree.
Starting to get nervy for Europe!

May or may not have bought ready-to-bake cookie dough because I was shopping while hungry. And then might have eaten half a pan of cookies instead of dinner.

I did a family portrait session today. 
This is Haley's tutu. So precious! You can see more on my website soon!
p.s. Your handwriting is cute.

I'm finding more and more that I'm a words person. We wrote missionary letters today for FHE. I'll give you the background on this picture later. I loved your Buzz pictures, loved them a lot.

I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when I turned on my camera and saw these photos on it.
I gotta figure out a way to keep the camera away from Buzz; he just can't get enough of himself.

The girls TP'd Azza's car last night after we went to Blackpool. This is what I was presented with this morning when he picked me up for church. I still don't think he's figured out what "those mini diaper things" are, but all the girls were laughing wildly.

Went to Blackpool today to check out Showzam, a carnival/illusion/variety mini-show. Saw a butterfly girl, a woman with no legs, a mummy, a magic/variety show, and a show called Exotica, with dancing girls and hula hoops and stepping on sword ladders, and fighting with a snake. As long as you don't take it too seriously, it's a pretty fun activity!

I also love seeing what you post, when it's "literally the only picture I took that day". I'm eagerly waiting for the day when we both just happen to post the same type of picture.

It's been raining here. Which doesn't help our digging efforts.
BTW, as hard as it sometimes is, I really love this project.
I love seeing what we both can come up with - on our good days and bad.
Our scrambling around for any ol' shot, and our nicely planned and executed and edited shots.
Love it. Love you.

Sorry this is a day behind.
 A much needed date night at the '50s diner and a movie to follow
(Don't go see Gulliver's Travels.)

Picked up Time Traveler's Wife the other day at the library, and I've fallen in love with it. It's everything I expected it to be [I loved the movie].

All that remained of the double batch of white and milk chocolate chunk cookies that I made for Valentine's Day for the boys in my flat. I told them I would be offended if there were any left when I got home, but I was glad to get the last one.

Feb 13- International Bank Robber Stanley pillages the donation case at the Tate Britain Museum.

Feb 12-Sorry I couldn't just pick one. I do quite like how the hues of the colors match in the pictures (which are unedited). The top picture is an interior garden-y square in Hampton Court Palace (one of the homes of Henry VIII and his family), the bottom is the Castle Round at Windsor Castle (current home of the Royal Family).

Feb 11- I had a couple travel buddies going into London this week. I felt very silly, but it's for a good cause :)

We're good together.
Happy Valentine's Day!

It was the only one I took this day.
And I obviously didn't even take it. 
Mona did - and she was scared she was going to break it. And this shot took about 
3 awkward minutes of "hold it down halfway first, then press it"

Haven't had choc chip pancakes in foreverrrrrr.
Won't be able to post again until Sunday -

There are sooo many different types of flour to pick from in Sainsbury's! So difficult. Also, I had to ask someone for help finding the baking soda. He led me to the baking powder, and said "yeahh I think that's the same thing." Luckily I found the Bicarbonate powder in the box right behind. Making cookies for my flatmates this week.

Fuzz. (I accidentally put two x's at first. haha naughty mistake)
The family dog that is having trouble being an outside dog - 
he's somewhere in between and its more than confusing.

Haha. This picture. I don't even. It's past midnight. I didn't have my camera earlier or else I could have gotten some better pictures (FHE tonight was fab/chill, as was the County bar afterwards with a completely different group of people). As my day turned out though, you get to see the mess that I've made trying to figure out my classes for tomorrow. I'm sorry. haha.

I love singing California Girls now.
Since I most certainly wear daisy dukes and bikinis on top :)

m.41

I messed up my numbers and I'm a day behind! But it's all better now.
In california.

From going into town to watch the Super Bowl. Feeling a little defeated now, even though I don't usually care about either team. (I just knew that I couldn't root for Green Bay, mostly because of you).

Day 7 of the 25 Days of Birthday for the
soon-to-be 25 year-old hubby!
P.S. I made a flickr account for us to post our photos on-
it was really just a way to get the word out about our blog.
I haven't uploaded anything yet but I suppose we could?
The account is under our gmail account.

Sorry I had to cancel our IM date tonight, but I did have a lot of fun at the dance. I'm getting more adventurous (though not necessarily better) in my dancing antics. I'll talk with you tomorrow :) I'm very excited!
