this is my best friend.

and she totally called me out on not updating my blog for a pretty long time.

especially since she knows i've been shooting.

so here we go.

warning. 

she's.the cutest.

so is bobby. 

(bobby the beagle)

here's to you, kaliene.

you're the best.
and i love you endlessly.
(also huge)

rainbow!

Lyndsow and I walked outside yesterday

to go get some cheese.

And we were greeted with this sight.

it was incredible.

first of all, i absolutely love rainbows. 

they are arguably my favorite natural phenomenon.

so i had to run upstairs and shoot it.

then we went and got our cheese.

(wisconsin cheddar. yum)

when we got back we glanced out from the balcony and were floored.

the rainbow was back. 

and with a mission.

to be the best damn rainbow this town has ever seen.

it grew and grew until it was a complete rainbow. 

from out on the ground we could see both ends!

and then.

 another rainbow began to appear.
at first we thought our minds and our eyes were playing tricks.
but it just kept growing and getting bigger.

until there were two
complete
vibrant
beautiful
astounding
rainbows.

it was magical.
a gift.

so thank you, universe
for creating rainbows
for life and friends
for random moments
and happy accidents.
it's the little things.

HOCKEY CHAMPS!!

here they are!

league champions

it was such a great season, i went to as many games as i could

(even got kicked out of one- i'm...pretty loud. only for these guys!)
there are tons of photos, so i'll let them tell most of the story.
(click them to see them larger, guys)

this last game was seriously epic.

(by the way, this is the team brother kris and brother mark play for.

mark is on goal, kris is number 29)

girl player!!! 

(her name is candace. but she doesn't mind that we call her girl player.)

they were down 6-2 when the second period started

they didn't let it get them down, just increased the intensity

jaydn and i brought drums and they got pumped up

they fought hard and kept their heads high and played the game they love

kris is a freaking angel on the ice.

watching him skate is one of my favorite past times.

but watching all of them skate 

and play as a team

is freaking sweet.

 (brother kris)

check out that shot above-bringin' it back!

hell yeah!

you can see the puck in the upper left corner of the net there.

sweeeeeeet!

oof. 

it's alright, mark

after about halfway through the second period nothing got by him!

another goal scored!

to tie the game!!

brother kris juuuuust snagging that puck from the other team like it ain't no thang

 it was an epic end to an amazing season.

i'm going to miss the games

and the locker room afterward

(but not the smell.. gross, boys)

so CONGRATS guys, you earned your victory

(and that sweet trophy!)

here's to all of you. 

i'll see you next season.
