with kiddos, 4-wheelers, and autumn leaves

this is the first round of photos from my trip....

this is a messy bunch of photos but they are so special to me. these kiddos are my cousins (and siblings). the ideas they come up with are crazy, and their smiles light up the world.

Tennessee was beautiful in the ripe autumn-ness. and the colours were gorgeous.. layered in burnt orange, rust red, brown and the million shades of yellow.

more will be coming,

forgotten shots v. 2

*I am still traveling right now, so I scheduled this for you lovelies! I'll be back in a couple of days with loads of photos. *

(( yes, excuse the awkwardness that it is a fly. gross. ))

first of all, thank you guys so much for all of your sweet comments on the last forgotten shots post. 

you are amazing. 

and this is just a smashing up of summer...mostly plants I know. :)

summer's last golden hour

all are SOOC

 the sun was just setting. and the sprinklers had just finished their rounds. 

the world suddenly became a fairy land. sun flares. dancing bokeh. sparkling raindrops.

for the first time I was able to really capture the golden-ness of golden hour.

awkward & awesome [no. 6]

awkward
-trying to tell someone a joke and laughing for 5 minutes straight while trying to tell them the answer. this is why I rarely tell jokes. and why I will never be a comedian.
-being the only girl in the jury in our Mock Trial. no comment
-coming home late one night and having my makeup brush fall out of my purse with out my knowledge. and then the next day Trish brought it into me "umm... here you go, Papa kinda drove over it."
-going out to unlock the truck and entering my Abeka account number instead of the code.
-making awkward eye contact multiple times in History Detectives.
-sitting on my foot and then getting up and almost falling on my face because it was sleeping so hard.
-packing my back for our trip and opening the little front pocket to find my two necklaces that had vanished. they have been in there since may. note to self: check all pockets from now on. 

awesome 
-list making for the trip
-my uncle is getting married in like two days!!
-I cannot stop listening to One Thing by One Direction.. literally.
-we had our first snow two days ago. it wasn't very much and none of it stuck, but hey it was snow.
-getting to spend the day with Nicole handing out free clothes to people who really need it.
-red toe nail polish. perfection
-practicing swooning with my sister
-wearing scarves, fuzzy socks and my pumpkin pie necklace again
- crisp and crunchy apples.
- the leaves that are turning colours and falling.
-my computer came back from being fixed just in the nick of time.

I know I haven't been posting very often lately. but life just happens, and blogging isn't my priority. 

we are going to be gone the next 10 days for my uncle's wedding. so I probably won't be around. I do promise I will have photos and I just might have something scheduled. :D 

these are shots from a couple of days ago, when it was raining. rainy days have the best light ever. dead serious. and I was going through my stuff, just all the snippets from special moments I have collected.
