Trying to Catch Up; Like Always...

Just trying to post quite a few great pictures before heading off out west next Wed. Wooo!! So when i leave, Inna, you can always look at my blog and remember the good times we had before this crazy, busy summer and get all excited to see us again!! :) (although i think you have all these pictures anyways!)lol

Anyways, heres some picutes from Renissance, and the last few days of school! :)

me, Alina, Inna, Julia, Kelsey--->

Taras, Inna, Kels, Julia, me---this was Taras' very last day of high school and we just had to take a picture to make it memoriable!! (there were other reasons too!!)lol :)

We tried to come up w/ a cute pose here...do you think it worked!? ;)

Taras, me-looking silly, Andy (loving his hair!!)lol
Crossfire leaders!!

me and Alina--->
(i look gross again!!)

Graduation
me, Taras, and Amanda---funny story about this actually...this was the picture where i was looking at that kid's dad's camera....and i have absolutly NO idea why he took a picture of us...his son isn't even standing w/ us....but i did ask his other son to take this picture for us....man, my heart was beating sooo fast, i swear!!lol Then a picture of me and Andy, then me and Taras. I dnnt kno why, but it's not letting me write that next to the pictures....it sends the text back up here....hmph!!

me and Bonnie (above)

me and Laura--->




<---me and Andy; loving the hair, once again!! And oh!! look at the rose!! It was sooo lovely!! Blue w/ glitter...awwww...can't wait until mine next year!! Actually, Inna, i have a story about a rose and a certain someone...Amanda, remember what i'm talking about?!!?lol

And now....the best part of all; the CROSSFIRE PARTY!!!! :) :) :)






We went out for a walk over by Tri-C and saw these 2 benches. What a perfect picture place right?!?! And it gets better.....

here we decided to jump off the bench...Joy, you got us into taking jumping pictures!! (even butter boy-look!!)lol Seriously!! We do it quite allot now!! Then notice the guys (Victor & Taras) in the background...i think they were trying to jump; obviously not as skilled as us girls tho!!!

And this is the one that has a story to it. You see, us girls thought that it'd be cute for both groups to jump off the bench at the same time. Good idea?? I know!! Well, for some reason, and i'm not sure who planned it, but the other bench decided it'd be funny not to jump and make fun of us jumping. So that's what's going on in this picture. But i think we all kinda felt stupid b/c we look over and see them all still standing on the bench...what the heck!? To get them back, we decided to trick them and pretend to jump, but not really do it. I guess they had the same idea going on again b/c on the count of 3 everyone just stood there, looking at the other group!!hahaha. Very amusing!!

Taras had a trampoline in his yard and so we decided to once again, take a few jumping pictures. But in this one it was more like a laughing picture...i'm not quite sure what happened! Inna, any thoughts??

<---Kelsey and Julia got pretty high here!!

Inna got high too, but me on the other hand...not quite as experienced! :( -->

<--- and here, even tho we're looking away i still think this picture is just too cute!! :) (but ignore my big thigh!!)

whoops!! Almost forgot to upload this one....i like it alot tho! hehe. But there were certain things which could have made it better....anyways....lol Victor, Inna, Kathy(Taras' sister-if you can't tell), me, Julia, Kels, Taras

--->

There were ceratin reasons for this shoe picutre.... ;) Just be glad the picture doesn't smell like it did in person!!lol ewww!! :p

Part of our group.

loving this one!! :) And just if you guys haven't noticed...Taras is always (trying to) flex!!lol --->

(Inna, i have a funny story dealing w/ flexing....)hehe

Went for a walk and though it'd be cool to take a picture here in the long grass...Alina, Kels, Julia, me, Inna

<---

we decided to actually pose for this one! :)

Picture time in the middle of the woods!! :) It's blurry, i kno. :(

<--- Inna, Alina, me Julia, Kels, Taras, Victor, Eva, Amanda

Inna, Alina, me, Julia --->

<---we thought Andy looked like Moses or smthing!!lol But doesn't he?!?

And lastly, me and Inna, (well, actually more like just Inna) decided to have a race to the trash can (in the far distance!) But she didn't tell me we were racing until she had allready gotten quite some feet ahead. I dnnt kno why i dnnt catch on sooner...ha. But love this picture, how we are running the exact same...and where Taras is looking!!lol

Check out these few videos....in the first, listen closely....we were all sighing from such a tireding walk. Then in the second we were jumping, obviously...but too bad you can't see the guys in this one; Taras was jumping over Victor!!haha.

Many many more pictures to come!! :)
