snippets...

of home this summer:

horseback riding through waipio valley w/ my dad's tour group

such a big girl riding her own horse through the river! :)

part of my family @ cousin elton's (the one flexing) and his wife's baby shower

after the baby shower...hung out "on the rocks" with my sis and bro & the rest of my corpuz cousins & their sig Os (not pictured). there's a story behind this pic...i suggested us recreating the pose in a pic taken back in the day when we were kids, with jacked up hair and clothes. the adults had all of us line up in a row with my bro in the middle since he was the only boy. hey mom, wouldja send me that pic in your album so i can scan it and post it? it's truly HILarious! :)

resurrection

i've had the itch. more times than i'll admit, but i've had the itch. to blog that is. 7 months is a good hiatus, right? so, i've decided to come back. because i want to. because i want to say things that are "me". because i want to stop and notice. because i want to be quirky in my "jonelle-way". because i wanna just be who i am and say what's goin on upstairs. but most of all, cherish my baby-girl...who's not so "baby" anymore. time's passin me by folks, and i wanna slow it down...just enough to save memories to read through on a rainy day. so i don't care if i'm the only one on here, it's who it's for anyway...but feel free to jump in. (wink)
