Q: Quit Trying to Get a Good Photo of All the Cousins
R: Ridin’ High

Now I know my ABC’s, here’s one more photo taken by me:
Those are my kids with their cousins from Florida.
This is my favorite picture from the summer of 2008. I specifically saved its Internet reveal for Kristen’s carnival. Wow that was tough. But worth the wait, don’t you think?
Thanks for stopping by and singing your ABC’s with me, now click on over to We Are THAT Family to check out more Sizzling Summer Spectacles.

I LOVE THAT PIC! Def worth the wait! (such restraint though) Do you have it framed and on your wall yet??
Very cute post!! Nicely done!
Also, how cool that you went in a hot air balloon!!
What a great vacation and incredible photos to capture it! I loved it.
And I loved being called the Hostess with the Mostess. That's definitely a first.
That was great! What a clever way to post your pics.
Your quite clever geek godess! And you should get a prise just for this cute post and all those pix!!!
A balloon ride really, lucky!

I am SO incredibly impressed with this post! I mean the fact that you had a pick for every letter of the alphabet- WOW!!! And great pictures they are, especially that last one...
That has to be the best picture I have seen this summer. I love it.
Don't tell my son you've been to Lambert's or Varsity! He sees them on Food Network and he would be very, very jealous. He has to settle for whatever we have here in Washington - lol.
I love how you did your ABC's. Very good!!!
Really neat idea for your post AND photos!
That was cool! Looks like you all had a great summer - Your "X" was very clever indeed! That last picture...incredible.
Clever, Tammy. VERY clever. (Especially that Roll Tide photo and the creative X assignment.)
Beautiful pictures! Very creative way to do your A,B,C's!
You are just simply very creative! I love the last photo!

Your right that is an awesome picture you saved. :)
Love, love, love the picture of the kids on the beach. Looks like you guys had a great summer!
The picture where you're trying to get a good picture of all the cousins cracks me up! And HEY we have the blue striped beach towel, too!
I posted something today calling for stories about your worst parenting mistakes. If you've already posted one in the past or feel like posting another one and linking up, I'd definitely appreciate it! :)
Tammy -- I already left you a comment about this cute post, but I just read what you wrote about my vacation spectacle. I don't have your e-mail and I so needed to thank you for Commenting With Commiseration. I feel so less alone. :)
You did great! What a great idea and photos and fun.
Yes the last is the favorite for sure!
Blessings abound!
THIS POST IS AWESOME! Very creative!! :o)

I am in awe of your creativity! And the fact you went up in a hot air balloon. I am also glad to see I am not the only one enforcing the mandatory reading even during summer vacation.
I love your pictures, the ABC's of summer is a super idea. I love the last picture the most.
Your pictures look so fun and I am SO impressed with your ABC's!! And I adore that last pic of the kids - just precious.
Very creative way to do the post. Love the last picture.
Very cute and creative post! I love the last photo and am super impressed by your ability to restrain yourself. Great job!
