happy friday:

July 2, 2010

missouri trip:
hello there. wow, it's friday again! i feel like i was just
in missouri yesterday! i thought i'd share some pictures of our trip.

missouri trip:
the newlyweds! a beautiful garden wedding in wisconsin.

missouri trip:
i dont know about your firework stands where you live but ours in california are just small wood stands. i loved the firework circus tents when we were driving around missouri: they're huge. you know how it's done missouri!

missouri trip:
our nephew, marcus - he's a big pout-y bear.
or maybe he's practicing for gq? ;)
he really melts my heart.

missouri trip:
we were looking for target and happened to be really
close to lake michigan so we stopped and took a stroll.
i dont like my profile but i love his!

missouri trip:
love the shapes of these clouds + trees.

that's all! what a fun trip. nick found a bunch of n64 games packed away and he shipped them home. they arrived yesterday -- so we'll be strolling down memory lane this weekend playing all the classics ;)

unfortunately we lost my cousin on the 4th of july so its a changed holiday for us. (this is what happened 4 years ago and here is a recent news video of my aunt trying to get a law passed for dui drivers)

i hope you have a fun + safe holiday weekend friends.

26 hello's:

  11. Looks like a lovely wedding, what a grand time!

    I remember your post about your cousin. How tragic. But glad that your aunt is trying to stop it from happening to others.

  12. Aw, what lovely photos! (That photo of Marcus is just so sweet!). It looks like you had a wonderful time!! And it looks like you'll have lots of catching up on N64! (It really WAS the best of the classics - I loved Mario Kart, Super Smash, and Yoshi Story! :)

    I'm so sorry about your cousin. Four years pass, and it's still a tragedy, still never really heals. But in spite of all that, I hope you still find a way to have a good weekend this weekend, Danni. For the memory of Kendall. Happy Fourth of July.

  20. Beautiful Photos! We also have the wooden fireworks stands, the tents there are way more exciting. Jake and I have a n64 and nintendo. I don't care what new systems they come up with, nothing beats the original nintendo. California dreams is my favorite. Sorry about your cousin... when will people learn?
