random photos on my phone from the past week

the photos in this post are not in chronological order. the order they are in is the order in which i feel like posting and writing about them. first, i would like to start with this photo of my darling cousin sophia:

i am sitting here laughing as i type, because this picture perfectly illustrates the reason that this baby had so many bruises on her knees right now. she's going through a growth spurt i guess, and has recently become very klutzy and clumsy- she's constantly tripping, falling, banging into things, and in general getting knocked around. the other day she ran up to her dad to give him a hug on the couch and somehow got hurt on the way, tripping into his arms. she said "oh, not AGAIN!" and burst out crying. so sad. so freaking cute. anyway, the precarious position of her body as she is running in this photo sums up the stage she's in right now.

here's another photo, marian and sophia. they're running on a school playground i let them loose on while waiting for evan to get out of swim team practice.


we hit target before the school playground. after we dropped evan off, i asked them what they wanted to do with the hour we had to kill. marian said "i have 3 ideas, you probably will say no to all of them." i made her tell them to me. she wanted to go to the dollar section at target and then a park or to mcdonald's. i said yes, mostly because i couldn't come up with anything better, and hey, why not? here they are at target, they went crazy when i said they could pick out one thing each. sophia found a winner, a 4th of july themed pin wheel. they played with it all evening, and it is now sitting in a flower pot in the front yard. i was planning on making this post a while ago and i had thought of something funny to say about this photo, but now i can't remember.


i would also like to share this random but cute picture of marian being adorable one morning:

i went to the farm in mapleton for a birthday party/memorial day lunch with family on monday. my two favorite photos.

i'm at my night job right now. i'm pretty tired. i am going to end this blog post before i start rambling about things and potentially posting pages worth of random song lyrics, which will inevitably result in my deleting the post in the morning when my judgment isn't clouded by fatigue and i remember that real people actually read my posts sometimes.
