We were outside the other day, blowing bubbles and making chalk drawings (see previous post) and I had the idea to try to do one of THOSE pics. You know like the ones where someone draws a scene with the chalk and then puts a kid in it? Yeah, that. And I just want to…
Sometimes, it’s just as hard as it looks…
Summer is almost here and I have mixed feelings. On the one hand I am happy to have a break from making lunches every morning and getting kids to school by a certain time, but on the other hand, I will miss the routine. I am most happy to not to have to help with…
“Vintage” Toys
A while ago my Mom gave me some old toys out of “my” closet – you know the one that is in her house that is part of the room I grew up in until I was 18… yeah that closet. The box she gave me while threatening to toss it included my little kitchen…
I ask you… and some photos.
Do you ever read the comments on other people’s blog posts and think, “Ah man, I wish I’d said that” or “woah, that comment was so perfect!”?? I do. Sometimes. But then I know I also have my own words and it’s okay to say something similar too, especially if I really mean it and…
This weekend & MEM
Blink, blink, blink goes the cursor. Throb, throb, throb goes my head. But still, I want to put something out there for you all to see and read because I thrive off of it. I want to tell you how busy the weekend was with two photo shoots(!) and preparation for my son’s first communion…
Out Back
Pretty sure my kids think my trusty camera is my fifth appendage. But I can still push them on the swings (although, good GRAVY, almost 5 year-old, learn to pump your legs already!!!) when we venture out back to play. And they don’t seem to mind too much when I take a break to snap…
I’m Really Doing This & MEM
There have been some pretty exciting happenings around here lately. Including more friends trusting me with their precious family photo memories. That’s some kind of wonderful trust, if you ask me. I can only hope I lived up to the task for them. Thank you, my friends. I enjoyed it so much. And your family…
The trip was totally worth it for the cake and hugs
If you’ve never been to a good ole down-home Texas country wedding then you are missing out. My cousin’s daughter (my second cousin?) got married the Saturday before Easter and Katie and I rode down to the wedding with my parents and my niece. Although K was a bit tired by the time we left,…
Miss Elaine-ous Monday, etc.
This weekend was a whopper. I even missed a hair appointment because I just couldn’t keep all the soccer balls in the air. shIt happens. And here I am a week behind and posting more pics from our Easter, because, like I said, there are a lot. And I know the Resurrection of Jesus is already old…
The Egg Scramble
So, I was hoping to post pictures about our entire Easter, this morning. But you know what? I took so many damn photos that I like, even if you don’t that it’s gonna take a couple of posts. I decided that I would just share the egg hunt the first egg hunt anyway, oh gosh,…
