Photo Story Friday-Summer


Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek
Oregon has the most beautifully moderate summers of any place I’ve ever lived. I just wish it lasted longer. Summer never officially *starts* until July and then it seems to end the first part of September. Certainly not long enough for my liking. We’ve had 3 HOT, and by that I mean with a high above 100 degrees, days this whole summer. 3.

This was one of them.

    They really are darlin kids Angie.
    Summers here in PA are short also; but not too short for me! I’m a snow bunny.

  3. I love Summer in the NW. When I lived near Seattle I love August and September there. I could not handle all that rain though.

  4. I love your pictures I want to ask you something…What type of camera do you use? Your photos always look great!

  37. I remember that day! Perhaps we’ll even get some more summer since it’s been RAINING FOR A WEEK!!! Not that I’m bitter…

  39. Angie, Just come visit us in Texas, you’ll get plenty of hot weather here! during the winter months we just wish and wish for snow, not too many days, but at least a couple. You know we don’t know how to drive in that stuff! Cute kid pictures! Thank you, a friend in East Texas, Pam.

  40. Your children are adorable! I especially love the last picture. So cute!

  41. Angie your children are gorgeous. It must be fun times at your home all of the time..

  51. Those are some seriously HAPPY looking kids! Awesome smiles on those adorable children.

    You do have a short summer. Please, take some of ours. I swear, our summers last from April to November, at least. ugh.

  52. Such beautiful kids you have! I love the Northwest, but the summers definitely are short! It looks like ya’ll are having a lot of fun though!

  53. I am sure that you know this but those kids of yours are just adorable. I am glad that they are basking in the summer fun.

  54. waaaaaaay cute… the kids are beautiful…

    and thanks for your supportive comments… appreciated it very much.

    J/

  55. What a beautiful set of redheads you have there! Same here with the weather in the Tacoma area of Washington! Once the rain starts here it just doesn’t stop…

  56. Gorgeous photos!

  57. Migraine Mom says

    Gorgeous, as always! I love their hair!!

  58. Just LOOK at those adorable kidlets of yours!! Those pictures make me want to come and play with them yesterday.

  59. let me try to guess first, it’s a game I always like about twins…
    Jacob is the second pic and John is the fourth. Well I don’t care if I’m wrong, as you know which one is who… πŸ˜€

    and forgive me for this stupid question. are they wet because of sweat since it is so hot? or they just swam?

    last but not least, wonderful pictures of wonderful kids

    πŸ™‚

  60. jenni anne says

    you really do take great photos, angie! i guess it helps that your kids are so dang cute.

  61. Where is Grace? Ha ha.

    Gorgeous photos! Really.

  62. Looks like fun playing outside with some water. After the hot day we are having today I wish we had a pool in our back yard.

  63. Carrie and Troy Keiser says

    Great pictures of your cute kids! Our summers start like that too, but unfortunately, we have had far too many in the 100s days. Then yesterday was almost cold….. weather is quick to change,huh?

  64. The kids are so gorgeous… I always thought red heads were the cutest…

    oh…. I hate summer…. I think I mentioned that on your Fall post… I’ll rub it in though.. I CAN’T WAIT for colder weather!!

  65. Alexandria says

    Wow! You have some really beautiful children.

  66. Tara@From Dawn Till Rusk says

    Gorgeous photos. You’re rubbing it in though, as here in England we’ve hardly had any summer at all and all my photos have stormy skies and us all wrapped up in coats and gilets.
    Many thanks for your visit on my SITS day, I really do appreciate it.

  67. Gunnisac Sandersons says

    Oh your kids are so sweet. That little Emma looks just like her mom, She is adorable in yellow.

  68. Beautiful pics!! I love all that gorgeous red hair on your kiddos!!!!!

  69. REally great pic’s. Who’s taking all of these? What camera do you guys have?

  70. MoziEsmΓ© says
