Quoteables!

WHOA. It's been forever. As Sarah's been overheard saying, we're feeling "as lazy as the guy who invented the Japanese flag."
You have our apologies. And you have our new round of quotables.
HAPPY 2013!

Hannah: That’s your speciality.

Sarah: I’ve only made it once.

Hannah: Then why do I think of you every time I think of chicken spaghetti?

Abby: Hannah. I've been up for FIVE hours. I have a right to be sleepy again.

Hannah: That horse is foaming at the mouth. They better get it a drink.
Sarah: Oh, no. He's just... thirsty.

Hannah: I don't have any favorite names.
Ro: Like none that you like?
Hannah: Well not off the top of my head. If you say a name, I'll be like, "yeah it's nice," or whatever. If you ask me a name I might be like OH THAT'S MY FAVORITE NAME and the next day I forgot it.
Ro: Do you like Tristan?
Hannah: Sure
Dad: I know a guy named Tristan.
Ro: Oh who is he?
Dad: A guy.
Ro: Anything else?
Dad: Named Tristan.

Abby: Wait, I have a question. Your gall bladder is in your toe?

Hannah: We have teachers aids in the bookstore. Stuff for teachers... to help them teach.

Sarah: I'm feeling lazier than the guy who invented the Japanese flag

Abby: Does eating healthy help people get fitnetized?

Ro: I think I'll make this my profile pic.
Hannah: No.
Ro: Would you pay me if I did?
Hannah: No.
Ro: Five bucks?
Hannah: If anything, you should be paying me. I took the picture.

Hannah: Who do they think I am, Michelangelo?

Dad: Abby, you look kinda like a stick of gum

Sarah: I can do anything if I can keep a straight face.

Ro: You guys are cute.
Dad: Yeah you're cute, Abby. I'm handsome.

Hannah: (on shower cleaning) I feel like I’m brushing teeth… the teeth of a big, ceramic… whale.

Hannah: Oh, Dean Martin sings it!

Dad: That’s cuz he’s a good Italian boy.

Hannah: Dean Martin was ITALIAN?!

Mom: That isn’t his real name.

Dad: No. It’s Deano Martino.

Mom: People think you’re just so funny.

Ro: We are!

Ro: I don’t understand that movie.

Hannah: I don’t either. I’ve never seen it.

Ro: I’ve never seen it either.

Abby reciting “America the Beautiful…”

Abby: “Oh beautiful, oh beautiful…”

Sarah: No!

Abby: Right. “Oh beautiful, oh beautiful…”

Sarah: No!

Abby: WHAT IS IT THEN?

Merry Christmas

and to all a good night.
from all of us.
to all of you.

and a Happy New Year.

Barn Dance

August 16, 2012 // Our FIRST EVER Barn Dance.

ever.

Since I already went into raptures upon raptures on my blog and outlined all the dances and told the whole background story on the dance over there... if you want to read it, go ahead. If you just want to see the pictures from the glorious night, keep reading. =)
.

Ohhhh but I'd better explain this a bit. This is NOT Sarah dancing with the hose. This is Sarah getting the barn ready to dance in. Just a clarification.
.

This is Hannah taking a picture of her tired, wet feet and Sarah putting her toes in because she felt left out.
.

And this is us.
.

and THIS is them... Abby, Cherie, and Sarah, all dresssssed up and looking absolutely gorrrrrrrrrrrrrrgeous.
.

Grand March!
.

A very unusual, very FUN kind of dance. NOT what you think. Not.
..

Virginia Reel
.

Sarah and Zech looking verrry professional as they "strip the willow." Just getting you used to dancing terms. Free lessons, and all that.
.

Oh, Johnny, Oh!
.

that's all for now, friends and neighbors!! =)

have yourself a merry little mid-August week. =)

Pizza People

If you know us at all, you'll know that eating is one of our favorite things to do.
The end.

I find it handy to keep my camera in manual focus when I give it to a sibling... a rather way to keep the paparazzi from being successful paparzzians.

I'm mean sometimes.
.

and I leave you with this new P fam tradition... the phone pile! Touch your phone first and you loooose big time.

much love!

River Floating

Last Sunday, Joe, Dad, and I headed up to The River for a fabulous afternoon of being lazy in the cold water while being sunburned from above. It was over 90 degrees and a perfect afternoon, all in all. =)
.

first stop: blowing up tubes.
.

second stop: tying down said tubes.
.

third: looking cute and doing absolutely no work at all. haha just keeeding.
..

and stop four: the river!
 ..

a most fabulous group... this is definitely the "after."
..

all good things must be instagrammed!
..

well, that's all for now. go enjoy your summer!
love ya, chicas!!

Puttin' On the Ritz (at at the lake)

For You // Happy Fourth!!

Hey, Americans... have a good Independence Day, okay? =)

Un-Rodeo Weekend

Believe it or NOT (and you won't, cuz I still don't), but
I MISSED THE RODEO THIS YEAR.
Cue sobbing and wailing and weeping.
..

And look. My flipflops were ready. My FLIPFLOPS were ready to go to the RODEO, people! But my job called. Having a summer job is an AWESOME blessing, don't get me wrong, okay? I lovelovelovelove where I work, and it's really fabulous. But when I have to work weekends? RODEO weekends? It's kinda sad.
...

So I can content myself with looking at Dakota's gorgeous shots of calf-roping cowboys and barrel-racing cowgirls... big smiles, big horses, bull riders, dust and dirt and small-town love. Because I wasn't there to take any. (If you want to read any more about our small town exploding with rodeo-ness every June, just check out last year's post.)

However!! After work on Saturday, I drove down to meet my family (fresh from the rodeo!) at our fifties hamburger joint, which was awesome. =) So I didn't witness the events firsthand, but I got to sip Coke and listen to stories and admire my little sister's hand... which she got SIGNED... by a BULL FIGHTER.

People, people, people... this is one of the many privileges you get when you're FAIR PRINCESS!!
.

Yummmmmm.
.

These are the people that I love. =)
.

After dinner, Sarah hopped in my car for the drive home. On the way, we swung by the fairgrounds to see if any rodeoness was still going on. Um, no. Just horse-loading.
.

oh, well. let's take a beautifully long drive home?
.

Oh, also... let's stop on the side of the road to take princess pictures?
.

Can you believe this place we live?

Apparently not!
.

Well... it looks like a lot of people have been off-roading here lately... a favorite pastime of most teenagers where I come from!
.

Ever seen such pretty weeds? =)
.

She was S-U-R-E that some Saturday evening logging truck was about to come up that hill and smash her to pieces.
.

I hope it was some comfort for her to know that I'D get smashed to pieces, too... but she didn't seem to feel any better.
.

And we're all in one piece.
.

Gah wowowowowowow. She's cute.
.

Annnddd then, we were on our merry way once again.
.

Pickup truck love... yes? Something about girls (country girls) and trucks.
.

Sunshine in our faces... wind in our hair...

it took me a million years to get the tangles out, but it was so worth it. SO.

much love!
Hannah
