cookie dough in the headlights

you know how when you use the flash on a picture it gives it the much unwanted "deer in the headlights" affect?

behold, cookie dough dip in the headlights.

 and now your blinded.

 i tried the chocolate chip dip recipe that i found on the lovely katie's blog. it tasted waaaay better than this picture looks

 ummmmmm,

YUM

"i'm here for my close up"

But seriously, this dip was DYLish.

oh and did i say that it was healthy? it is. don't judge a bowl of cookie dough dip by how good it looks. wait, scratch that. do.

i left a full bowl of it on the counter and went to say something to my dad and when i came back like 10 minutes later, the thing was practically all gone and my sisters were the culprits. they are like food critics, except they only eat sweet things and don't ever criticize. usually. 

and i took a picture of a hole

just for you.

Summer Love

reasons i love summer:

drinking strawberry smoothies on the porch

looking at people who dress better than i do

like her

her

and her

and her

hanging with these crazies

a certain someone was being so crazy that there isn't a single non blurry of him.

taking pictures outside

being outside and playing in the dirt

and listening to anything by my current obsessions: JJ Heller or Mat Kearney

oh, and i love thrifting. everyday always. 

Day by Day

some pictures i took last week i like:

 emma.

 kate.

 cool lighting.

the moon coming home from manhattan.

now: easter at my house, but first, cole.

this is how you look when you fall out of a window.

yes, you heard me right. cole. fell. out. a. window.

don't freak- he's obviously fine. he and i were touching the screen our window well as i tried to explain to him what rain was (it was raining) and the screen popped out and he fell in. facefirst. onto the concrete. had a bump on his head the size of an egg. but he's ok and is playing with his trucks on the keyboard right now.

so, easter-

grilling delecious burgers at at my grandparents house.

and then, easter egg hunting (no one else will pose like cole will)

discarded eggs

an outfit i want a lot in the jcp magazine

told you i ramble.
taking it day by day.

xoxo,

gracie

hello.

hello.

You've had a first something, right? This is my first blog. Ever, so bear with me. I promise that i will mess up, or say something really silly that doesn't make sense. or just ramble. . . which is what i'm doing now. so, hi.

You should know that I like to take pictures. A lot. most are blurry or akward, but there are a few that are decent.  This is my ADORable lil' bro and my two AWEsome sisters.
