A video that makes me wish I took more video

February 1, 2012 by Elaine

I’m sure someone thought we were silly taking a quick video of our little girl “shivering” at cold ice cream the other day. Like maybe the young guy in the background that you see very briefly. Or maybe the older man across the way whose eye I caught during the process. Perhaps he wished he…

Life is Messy

January 18, 2012 by Elaine

Her face is rarely clean. In order for it to be I would have to chase her around the house with a wet wipe or wash cloth.  ALL. DAY. LONG. So instead I just take a lot of photos like this. But it’s okay because those baby blues seem to overshadow the messiness and she…

I can sew & forage for my own food so we’re good

June 15, 2011 by Elaine

I finally finished this dress for K Friday before last.  I had to call in help to get it done but at least I know my limitations, right? And, it has it’s imperfections (which thankfully you cannot see in this picture from my phone). And I plan to still add some ribbon and perhaps some extra notions…

Ponies & Flowers – WW & You Capture

March 30, 2011 by Elaine

Some of our good friends had a super fun birthday party for their son and daughter with a “western” theme on Saturday.  Ponies and all. Have you ever seen a soccer playing Cowboy?  Well, now’s your chance! I mean it doesn’t get much better than that, now does it? 😀 (he had to miss part…

Better Days – WW

January 19, 2011 by Elaine

When she got up yesterday morning her eyes were red all around and half closed.  Which is somewhat normal for me.  But not her.  She was HOT.  Which she’s usually NOT.  She coughed a little. I thought maybe it was a 24 hour thing but I should have known better.  She was worse this morning….

These are the Days – WW

December 22, 2010 by Elaine

We had friends over to decorate cookies today. Six boys and Baby K was the only girl. Needless to say after decorating and “downing” a few cookies it turned into full contact football wrestling in the back yard. But that’s okay, the weather was nice and boys got some energy out. But my favorite part…

You Should Have Seen the Party That Led Up to This – WW

December 8, 2010 by Elaine

I thought I heard a ruckus comin’ from the boys’ room the other night but I just shrugged it off. But THEN. In the morning I came to find this. Word on the street is that Jesse is quiet the harlot. Don’t let her distance in this shot fool you. I knew that girl was…

She’s Cuter Than Bristol Palin’s Baby – WW*

October 27, 2010 by Elaine

I took this photograph of Baby K while on our family trip to New Orleans last month. I don’t think I posted it here before now. And I just HAD to for a few reasons: 1. I LOVE it. Like with my heart. 2. It’s a pretty awesome photo and kinda makes me feel like…

WW – Have I Mentioned That She’s Walking?

October 20, 2010 by Elaine

Well, she is. And it’s fun and crazy all at the same time. I still have to do a double take whenever I see her doing it. How’d she get so big? And yes, I’m VERY late with my WW. Hey, at least it’s still the Wednesday. 🙂
