warning: this post is picture heavy!
first of all, this sign really bugs me! it would be ok if the company had a baby bird or something as it's mascot, and they were doing a play on words with 'cheepest'. but they're not!!!
tonight was such a beautiful, mild night compared to the nights last week, that i actually went outside! colby and i took a walk to the ponds to see what was happening down there. i invited spencer to go, too, but he said he could "care less" about going down there. FINE!
i saw lots and lots of these happy flowers! the more i saw, the cuter they became. so i just started picking myself a bouquet!

happy bouquet
look! we have cattails at our ponds! i had no idea! this is the first time i've seen them up close and personal! they're just plain cool.
colby found a "lobster claw"! how exciting!
i loved how the evening sun was warming up everything it touched, so i made colby stop and take a picture with me! love the glow.......
after our visit to the ponds, i decided i wanted to go see the fireworks show at rockets over rhema. {rhema is a ginormous church in broken arrow. they just got the title of oklahoma's second largest fireworks show, next to okc!} of course the boys wanted to go too, so even daryl joined in the fun!
we sat in the middle of a field, and had a perfect view. we also shared the field with a few bugs {which daryl wasn't too thrilled about....you can tell by the expression on his face! or he could be grumpy-looking because he HATES it when i take flash pictures in the dark. you'd think i'd be nice and quit taking pictures like that, wouldn't you?}
spencer didn't mind the flash photography or the bugs! he set his chair way in front of us and enjoyed the show!
i don't have an expensive camera, so i don't exactly know how to take great shots of fireworks. but i think this one turned out really cool! love the colors!!!
tonight was a happy sunday summer night. i'm glad i spent it with my family.
