god bless america.

I don't blog much anymore, I know.

I need to.

But it's summer, & we're busy havin' fun!

But THIS is too important not to blog.

I love America & I'm so thankful for it. I take so much for granted. We live in the most beautiful country & have SO much freedom. We can do whatever we want, become whatever we want.

Happy Birthday America!!

The Pioneer Woman (she's sort of my idol. She's like superwoman.She does AMAZING photography, COOKS, teaches homeschool and is CRAZY CRAZY FUNNY! who wouldn't wanna be her?)

Anyway, she does these awesome photo competitions. She chooses a theme and everyone can upload a photo. I compete almost every time. Although there are like 500,000 entries, I think someday I will win! Or at least be featured on her blog...someday!

This week she did an "America" themed photo contest.

Some of these photos seriously took my breath away. Some gave me chills , and some made me cry a teensy bit. They are so beautiful...you HAVE to look. 

I chose a few that i LOVE.

But here is the link to view them all:

Pioneer Woman- America

This says 'America' all over it, don't ya think???

Hope you all have a FANTASTIC 4th or 3rd or 5th of July!
