Where the WILD things are.

If you really knew me, you would know that the front of my house is located in a quaint suburb while the back of my house is best described as a forest. Over the years we have had our fair share of encounters with wild animals: frogs, snakes, gray herons, turtles, owls, bobcats and even a heard of cows. As a kid it was the best of times, as an adult .... it is the best of times. Animals never cease to fascinate. Here is a look at some of the animals we have encountered this summer. These are only the animals I Could take pictures of. There have been so many more including a huge snake and lots of frogs we rescued from our pool. 

while our house had loaded with beautiful flowers like this one and .....

this one. It is also home to .......


THIS! The largest bee hive I have ever seen, located right above our pool equipment. 

 They are setting up camp and taking no prisoners. This is probably unsafe. We might consider calling some one to remove this. Oh well.

We also found a sick crow. Usually we all hate the crows but this one was so cute and innocent. 

 Mom likes to pretend that she hates crows but as soon as she saw it she ran in the house to make it a five star meal of peanut butter and nuts of all kinds. What a lucky guy.

 We also held it and pet it. Obviously. 

Next we found a sweet little baby kitten. She was meowing in the woods therefore, me and emily and gina went running around the woods in our bathing suits trying to catch her. It took about a week of pursuit and then this tricky little devil gave into us. 

Now she loves us and has really gotten fat and grown up so much. 


We named her Binx and she lives on the couch on our porch. She is psycho obsessed with us and the only cat in the history of the world who actually likes our dumb dog bella. Well everyone if you haven't done anything wild lately, get out there. The world is full of adventures and new things to see.

Lots of Love,
Katy

Summer Sweetness

It has been such a fun week!! The fam and I got to go to the Rangers game and, oh, how we love those Rangers. It was a wonderful time to relax and have some fun. Plus, it gave me and Em a chance to spend quality time with Kinsler and Gentry, aka our baseball playing boyfriends. I couldn't really see the action of the game, thanks to the giant black pole located directly in front of my face, but it worked out alright. I got to people watch and anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE to people watch.




          


Em creeping on Gentry ..... the usual.

You should have seen the looks people were giving us. 

No big. I caught the final winning catch of the game. 

Represent. 



I also got to spend a day with Presley Grace. I took her to the movies to see Madagascar. Then we went to my favorite place on the earth, Barnes & Noble, where she got to pick out any book she wanted. We finished the day with delicious cookies. It is always fun hanging with Tay Tee. I just love this little girl.  





Ended the day as all people should ..... on a sugar high. Stay sweet guys.

Lots of Love,
Katy

Playing at the Park




They repainted the sun but now Presley is bigger and has a little sister. Funny how things change. 




She grew up ALOT. It seems like yesterday I took the little baby picture of her. 

Avery was embarrassed and the sun was in her eyes. 



We wore them out!


Well today we had a fun day at the park! it was great taking pictures at the same park with the same kid,  three years later. I love being home and getting to spend time with these two nieces of mine. Last night Avery slept in my bed with me and I'm loving every bit of being with them and my sister. Oh, I am old.

Lots of Love
