summer flashbacks

Since Ryan is all about film now... it takes longer to get prints back then the quick download of a digital camera. But I don't mind so much. It's always a happy surprise when he gets around to it. I love having that sudden moment, remembering back.

Me and my loverboy Max on the Fourth of July. And the boys in St. George. 

What a great summer it was.

my ears are happy

I couldn't be happier about the release of this new Wilco album, The Whole Love and the soon to be released Ryan Adam's record, Ashes and Fire. You can listen here to each of the albums if you'd like. Boohyeah!

i heart peaches

This weekend I made two peach pies and two big dishes of peach cobbler. I am trying to eat as much peaches as possible before they go out of season. We had to wait over a whole month later then usual to get these guys into the framer's markets around town... and now it's already time for them to go. A very sad moment for me. I love me some peaches.

why i love my city mini double

I was recently telling a girl friend of mine just how much I love my double stroller - so I thought I would share the love with anyone else who may be looking to invest in such a product.

Here is why I love my Baby Jogger City Mini Double:

1. It fits through a standard door frame. THIS is an amazing feature. I take this puppy with me everywhere and have no problem getting in and out of stores and school doors and where ever else I need to be. I love it.

2. The thing is amazingly light weight. It mostly totes around Max and Cash, but ever so often I wear Max in the backpack and Jack and Cash can still ride and be pushed without effort.


3. Jack can still fit and have a cover over him, without bumping his head. This was a big deal - I have really tall kids.

4. Plenty storage underneath. A section up top for water bottle (or the occasional diet coke), and other accessories

5. Folds in one quick motion (see single shot... double is the same, you just need two hand to grab each seat pull).


6. The head covers come down in 3 sections - so depending on what angle the sun is shinning - your kids are not getting blasted by light. It has little windows you can pull back on the top so you can still see in.


7. There are a ton of accessories - including a little glider that I want for Christmas. This allows an older kid to ride on the back if needed. There are is also this great little baby muff that keep Max toasty in the winter.


I love this city mini series. In the double form and the single. You won't be sorry you got this.

beards are weird

Not that Ryan needed any more encouragement about growing a beard, but these are pretty awesome. He loves himself that beard. I just think it's really scratchy. Happy Weekend everyone!

 

overheard

It is not just the cheap prices that keep me coming back to WINCO, but also the amazing conversations that I often get to overhear. WINCO has some crazy shoppers. Today's was awesome. I wish I could have stayed around to hear how this woman achieved such a miracle, but I had to be on my way to get the groceries back home in time before Cash was done with preschool:
