Project 52 week 16 | Drink up

 My kids just love milk, and we go through the gallons! But they love it even more if they can have chocolate in it! And they like to use coffee cups :)

Make sure again to hop over to see what Keilah has this week!

Project 52 week 15 | Reflection

 The robins arrived just in time for some nice spring weather, JUST in time for a blizzard!

 This week the only reflections we have seen(and the poor robins!) is the bright sun reflecting off piles and piles of SNOW!

Go see what Keilah has got for reflection this week :)

Project 52 week 13 | Things that grow

I hope that my child, looking back on today
Will remember a mother who had time to play;
Because children grow up while you're not looking,

Cooking and cleaning can wait til tomorrow
For babies grow up, I've learned to my sorrow
So, settle down cobwebs, dust go to sleep
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep

(-not sure of author) 

 My oldest happened to be looking through a photo album from when she was little and I spotted this one! They grow up way to fast!! She was just a baby :)

How quickly they grow from a chubby little toddler to a pretty girl! Before I know it she will be Graduating  from High school!

Head on over to Marcy's blog to see what is growing over there :)

Project 52 week 13 | Smile

This weeks theme is Smile, and how much cuter can this get?? Caught a little smile as he was falling asleep.

 I won't mention that he loaded his diaper right after this ;) 

This little guy will be getting posted soon so stay tuned!

Also, continue on this week to Marcy's Blog!

52:8 | Looking up

Went outside the other day to take this weeks photo, it was a beautiful sunny 55 degree day, warm enough for some to wear shorts. :)
They sit in this tree all summer long, or any day they play outside.
So this was my view when I looked up ;)

Head on over to Anitas blog to continue the circle!

Enjoy your weekend!

52:7 | Cabin Fever

This week is cabin fever.

And it was a snowy day.

I love snowy days, and I think the snow is so pretty and I don't mind it, as long as they clear the roads up pretty fast. And I don't know around here it seems that some times they are on top of it, other times they don't start for a couple days! By that time it is nice and packed down, and slippery :)

BUT, with this house, we don't really have an entry way, our front door opens into the living room, which is all carpet, and only has a tiny 2x3ft tiled section at the door. The kids love to go out and play (for short intervals anyways) in the snow, which means when they come back in they each have a PILE of boots, jackets, hats, mittens, wet socks.... that times 4 or 5 kids means a nice sized pile by the door.

So, my cabin fever is starting to set in, and I can't wait for warm spring days, where the kids can play outside barefoot :) and all we will have by the door is a pair of flip flops or sandals per kid. 

 the snow today came perfect timing, so here is the cause of my cabin fever :)

Be sure to jump over to Anitas Blog!

Have a fantastic weekend :)

52:6 | Work of Art

We have had 2 miserable kids this week, both had ear infections!! Baby was up alot on Sunday night, and sure enough he had in both ears, and then Wednesday our 4 yr old was sleeping/crying/completely miserable Wednesday. She kept saying it was in her mouth, so I kept thinking it was her teeth, but flossing, or eating didn't hurt, she finally pinpointed it to her ear and sure enough! Our kids NEVER have ear infections, in fact a couple of them have never had one, and the others that have, have had one, maybe 2 in their life. So 2 kids within 2 days was kind of shocking over here! :)

So, what I was getting at, was that I almost missed this week!

But my kindergartner came home just proud as can be over her little gingerbread man she had made! And she so willingly posed, and came up with the poses herself, to get her picture of her and her little gingerbread man down in the studio.

Be sure to head on over to Anitas blog to see what she has this week!

So, with that I hope everyone has a great weekend!

All of you out here in Rapid, ENJOY this beautiful weather we are having!

Project 52 week 4 | Self Portrait

I had big plans of doing something creative, as creative as I can get by taking my own picture. But, sitting at dinner last night, I realized that all my sunshine options were gone and I had to get a picture to post for this week!!

So, here I am reading on the Ipad with my 2yr old, in an almost dark room, and taken by my 8yr old. :)

 Make sure to continue on the circle, start here by heading to Jessica's blog!

Project 52 week 3 | something old

 This week was something old. So took the little kids today for a drive around the city in search of "something old"! It was a fun little trip that we ended with an ice cream cone from Micky ds.

These are not my usual subject, or my usual editing style! But I just thought that these 2 old trucks needed some fun and different style to them!

Enjoy :) An old Chevy van/bus? and a Jeep.

And don't forget to continue on the circle, so head on over to Jessica's blog, Room For nine(+), to see what she has come up with.

Project 52, week 2 | Up Close

This should be fun, I have joined a circle of other friends to do a Project 52. Yep, once a week we will all take an image(s) of the theme we have chosen and post them to the blogs each Friday. I joined after last week, so this week is 2 weeks combined.

This week the theme is "Up close". I suppose I could have pulled out the macro and got creative, but when I went outside to see what kind of living plant life or neat texture I could find and saw these two, I got this instead! Up close to a brotherly/sisterly moment :)

Last weeks theme was "Winter", and what screams more than winter than red cheeked kids sledding in fresh snow? :)

We will all be linking to each other, so make sure to check out the others too for their take! to continue the circle, head on over to Jessica's blog, Room for Nine, to see what she has come up with.
