Making a commitment

In the blog world, apparantly Wordless Wednesday is a big thing. So, in the spirit of embracing this blog thing, I'm gonna give it a shot! Here are some random shots of Gabs I've taken in the last month.

WARNING: Scrunchy Nose Ahead

This classic Cassius expression really jumped out at me when I was going through a bunch of recent pictures. Especially, when I kept seeing that same look reappear.

Lighten up buddy! Your smile is much more flattering! No, truth be told, I actually think the scrunchy nose is cute in a funny sort of way. That's my bubba jaymes!!

Get your PAGEANT wave ready!

The girls (Madelon, Elle & Gabs) were really putting their work in during Towanda's 4th of July parade. And, I almost missed little Owen (M's bro) off there to the left. Gotta give him kudos as well. (thanks Susan!)

I have about five more pictures just like the one above. The bigger the wave, the more candy, right?! I don't think I saw those arms go down, except of course when the flying candy was being collected off the hot pavement! And let me tell you, the pretty waves worked because we walked away from that parade with a Gap bag full of candy.

Here's most of our 2008 crew, waiting for the festivities to begin. The Towanda 4th of July parade has been a tradition for us since Gab's was a baby. We're usually joined by the Hutson's too, but they ditched us to go on a family vacay this year!



Cash-man said forget about the parade candy, I'm stuffing my face with my own snack!

07.04.08 - TAKE ONE

We headed out to Uncle Mike's place at Lake Bloomington for a cookout and fireworks on the lake. This is Mike's last year at the lake, so we wanted to make this a 4th to remember! Aunts Ericka, Tracy and Amy were there, and Lisa, Josh and Elle joined us too.

We couldn't pull Cassius away from the bags set. He just really thought he was doing something...putting the bags in, pulling them out, climbing on the board, climbing off the board! Plus, he made all fellow Cubbie's fans proud by sporting his matching hat! If daddy had it his way, it'd be a Mets hat!


Gabs with her buddy, Emitt and some other random shots.



As dusk approached, we headed out to the boat for the fireworks spectacular! The lake really puts on an impressive light show!

I'm getting sleepy now, but TAKE TWO will follow soon!!
