February 11, 2012 - Make Me Happy

2012-02-11T21:34:00.000-08:00

This sweet couple got hitched this weekend. It made me so happy to be at their wedding and see them start their journey together!

February 10, 2012 - Self Portrait

2012-02-10T09:31:00.000-08:00

This was taken at the Rise and Shine Bakery in Lake Travis Texas. Bobby and I were having Creme Brulee French Toast.

February 9, 2012 - Front Door

2012-02-09T09:26:00.000-08:00

This is the front door to a home that is filled with creativity, love and rambunctious little boys. You know when you walk through this door that you will be welcomed with open arms. :)

February 8, 2012 - Sun

2012-02-08T13:45:00.000-08:00

This is what the sky looks like today in my neck of the woods.

So here is a photo pf the car wash sun. :)

February 7, 2012 - Button

2012-02-07T19:47:00.000-08:00

My little guy struggles with buttoning his own shirt due to fine motor issues. Even though it is hard he still tries every time he puts on a button down shirt. :)

February 6, 2012 - Dinner

2012-02-06T19:47:00.000-08:00

Our dinner tonight consisted of cracker coated pork chops, yellow squash with onions and garlic, and garlic mashed potatoes. I loved the pork chop but wasn't such a fan of the potatoes.

February 5, 2012 - 10:00 AM

2012-02-05T12:55:00.000-08:00

10:00 AM. Yep...right smack in the middle of church. ;)

February 4, 2012 - Stranger

2012-02-04T21:22:00.000-08:00

Today's February challenge was to take a photo of a stranger. I posted in my neighborhood forum but no one was able to meet up. We ended up at Fuji for lunch and since our chef was a stranger he fit the bill. He put on a pretty good show and we had a delicious meal! :)

February 3, 2012 - Hands

2012-02-03T20:53:00.000-08:00

The top hands are the hands of the three loves of my life. Trying to get this photo was hard. Arms got tired, kids got cranky but in the end I think it turned out cute! :)

The bottom hands are the kids in my daughters class. They were more than happy to pose for a quick shot of their hands...anything to get away from the lunch room table and not get in trouble. ;)

February 2, 2012 - Words

2012-02-02T19:49:00.000-08:00

Day 2 of the February Challenge focused on words. I thought lot about what I would post today. I went to Ross and could have posted that, drove past road signs I see every day and read part of a novel. However, these two sets of words are part of my every day life. Cookbooks and the Bible. What better way to cover words in this challenge than sharing the ones that mean the most to me. :) I know my little Youversion Bible app is nontraditional but it fits in my pocket and I always have it with me!

February 1, 2012 - February Challenge and My View

2012-02-01T19:58:00.000-08:00

June posted the photo above for a February challenge and I decided I would take it on. I am wondering if I can take a good picture of each area this month.

As for now here is my first photo. This was my view during homework time. My sweet boy was sound asleep on top of his worksheets. :) We had just been at the store so there are paper towels behind him and the bribes..I mean rewards for first time obedience in front of him. :)

January 31, 2012 - Homework

2012-01-31T18:24:00.000-08:00

My sweet son needs a little encouragement to work on his homework. Daddy was there to help this day.

January 30, 2012 - One more drip

2012-01-30T18:22:00.000-08:00

I was hoping to get the splash on my daughters finger but caught the drip in mid air instead. :)

January 29, 2012 - Another Drip

2012-01-29T18:20:00.000-08:00

Another drip from our leaky faucet.

January 28, 2012 - Shadow

2012-01-28T18:18:00.000-08:00

I love the shadow on this shot!

January 27, 2012 - Cute Boy

2012-01-27T18:16:00.000-08:00

My sweet boy cheering that he got a touchdown in his pretend football game.

January 26, 2012 - Fence

2012-01-26T18:13:00.000-08:00

Our fence...is in need of repair.

January 25, 2012 Puppy

2012-01-25T18:11:00.000-08:00

This is our dog that the cat despises.

January 24, 2012 - Panning

2012-01-24T21:10:00.000-08:00

I have been practicing panning. I haven't perfected the technique but this was a pretty good try...

January 23, 2012 - Robin

2012-01-23T18:04:00.000-08:00

It is January! Is it spring already?

January 22, 2012 - Devil Cat

2012-01-22T19:59:00.000-08:00

On the flipside of yesterday's photo....this is what happens when our sweet kitty cat sees our dog.

January 21, 2012 - Sweet Kitty

2012-01-21T19:48:00.000-08:00

Our sweet cat loves to cuddle. She is not often downstairs so this was a nice moment in which to catch her.

January 20, 2012 - Like, Totally Rad Dude!

2012-01-20T19:40:00.000-08:00

80's day at the elementary school = one rad chick! :)

January 19, 2012 - Looking Up

2012-01-19T19:36:00.000-08:00

It was a beautiful day in our neck of the woods. I had a moment and looked up. The day was more springish than winter in January.

January 18, 2012 - Thirst for Knowledge

2012-01-18T18:37:00.000-08:00

A few minutes of quiet to prepare before my students arrive for class.

January 16, 2012 - Asparagus

2012-01-17T17:54:00.000-08:00

I love asparagus (even though it makes your pee smell ;) ). I made this bunch for dinner tonight. My kiddos loved it and my hubs even liked it a lot.

January16, 2012 - Creative Discovery Museum

2012-01-16T19:30:00.000-08:00

This is at the Creative Discovery Museum in Chattanooga TN. We spent the entire day there with friends. :)

January 15, 2012 - A Beautiful Day

2012-01-15T18:53:00.000-08:00

It may have been 30 degrees out today but it didn't stop us from going out and enjoying the sunshine.

January 14, 2012 - Downtown Library

2012-01-14T17:19:00.000-08:00

The downtown library is a beautiful building. I am glad my kiddos like to read and that we can utilize this space for the kids programs as well as the books.

January 13, 2012 - My Hand Mixer

2012-01-13T17:13:00.000-08:00

I am a big fan of baking and in the vein of full disclosure this is what my mixer usually looks like. ;)

January 12, 2012 - Stone Mountain Georgia

2012-01-12T17:09:00.000-08:00

This photo was taken on the top of Stone Mountain in Georgia. I just love this shot! It makes me think of a fun day with good friends. :)

January 11, 2012 - Nashville Library Door

2012-01-11T17:06:00.000-08:00

Always stop to see the details. This was one of the many panels on the public library door.

January 10, 2012 - First Baptist Nashville

2012-01-10T17:04:00.000-08:00

I love the buildings in downtown Nashville. Always make sure you look down the streets if you are walking to see the architecture!

January 9, 2012 - Downtown Building

2012-01-09T17:01:00.000-08:00

A building in downtown Nashville.

January 8, 2011 - Sleepy Kitty

2012-01-08T16:59:00.000-08:00

This is our sweet almost 14 year old cat. She loves to snuggle up with my daughter.

January 7, 2012 - The Same Heron

2012-01-07T16:57:00.000-08:00

The same heron from yesterday after he got annoyed with me snapping photos.

January6, 2012 - Heron

2012-01-06T16:54:00.000-08:00

I left for work and had to stop when I saw this heron hanging out at the lake. I still made it on time. :)

January 5, 2012 - Model Home

2012-01-05T19:47:00.000-08:00

This sweet little house is on my neighbor's porch. She has the cutest decor for each and every holiday.

Cookie Time

2012-01-04T19:23:00.000-08:00

When I was a little girl I was in Girl Scout and sold cookies. Now my daughter is in Girl Scouts and is selling cookies. It is fun to see her doing the same thing I did when I was her age. :)

January 3, 2012 - These Hands

2012-01-03T18:37:00.000-08:00

These are my husband's hands. They are loving, caressing, guitar playing, web designing, soldering airplanes, football with our boy, kite flying with our girl hands. I love these hands and the man that goes with them.

January 2, 2012 - Christmas Remnants

2012-01-02T13:13:00.000-08:00

Christmas decor is back in the attic and this is all that is left of our beautiful Christmas tree.

2010-08-08T07:06:00.000-07:00
