 {i would live in this teepee.}

 {this earth.<3}

  {i love that max spent a good hour drawing out this extremely detailed lego hero guy only to cover him with leaves.=)}

 {my wolf...goes with my costume and i've been into them lately.}

{speaks for itself.;)}

 {and they're organic.}

{true dat, oscar.}

{this time of year always puts me in a taylor mood. i think because this is the time of year her albums are usually released.(wish there was one this year, long for it.) plus, she was just here. whatever the reason, i've been in one the past couple weeks, and i don't hate it. i could listen to that voice of hers all the live long day.}

children of the sun.

long ago {a month, i super suck.}, we took a little roadtrip to cali to see the utes play the trojans in a "historic game" {as mark kept putting it}, and to spend some time with our love, the ocean.  it was nice to come home with sun-kissed faces and to carry our summer on a little while longer {...some are still having a hard time letting it go. endless summer.}.

 a sad ending, but the game was certainly not lacking in excitement. and it was very cool to see SO many ute fans there...and giving "u" signs all over the freeways.

[tim & keke]

in true pitts fashion, we waited until we were on the road to figure out the logistics of our venture. we were a little ways past vegas before we decided we should probably find a place to stay.  

[the boys brought a few things from home.;)]

[the evidence of the photoshoot  mad & i had while walking to the store.]

[we visited the acclaimed sprinkle bakery while there. i let megan know that they have nada on the sweet tooth.;)]

[max's idea.=)]

we spent every second we could spare {it rained a whole day.} near or in the f-f-freezing water of the great pacific-- jumping waves, building sandcastles, drawing sand art and soaking up those california rays.

[i always feel i need a wetsuit for this water. this florida girl much prefers her bathtub ocean water.]

[mad supposedly saw a shark in the water. keep in mind, this is also the same child who claimed to have seen christopher columbus at hobby lobby.;)]

[great job, babe.;)]

[love this green-eyed boy.<3]

[on the way home, we stopped to regroup and relax for a day in st. george. always so nice. thanks again for your home, mom and dad {pitts}!]
