Day 31: I'm Excited!!

Today was a pretty exciting day for Kwintyn. He knew we had a birthday party to go to today, but he got a surprise in the mail today....well it wasn't really a surprise it just arrived a little early. He has been waiting for his tablet to come in the mail, and it came today. It was estimated to arrive on Monday, so he was SO excited!! I was setting it up and he kept saying, "I'm so excited!!" Hahaha! He had a fun time at his cousins Doc McStuffins party. Her Mom did an awesome job on the themed party with all the little goodies. I just love themed parties! Kwintyn had a fun time at the party, and enjoyed the frosting from his cupcake. He eats just the frosting, and leaves the cake so I am left to eat it. Hate to go to waste! He got to play some basketball too while we were there, and did some running around. He needed it!! Thanks for inviting us to the party! :)

Exciting Day!!

Day 30: Like Cats & Dogs

Today I babysat Liam & Jaxon again, love those little guys! Kwintyn said he was excited to play with his friends today. I'm not sure what is with those 2 boys, it's like they are cats & dogs sometimes. They will get along great then they both get all riled up & will start to fight. Usually it's over toys, so typical little kids. LOL Kwintyn was grumpy today, he even admitted so. Haha! He got up extra early today, and that makes him really grumpy. I noticed they would get into these tiffs when I was busy with the baby, and played well when I was down talking with them. So it's not that they don't like each other, it's just they need attention, and someone to be talking with them so they don't get distracted & frustrated with each other. Or maybe it's just that they are so alike? Or opposite? Haha...To be honest they act more like brothers.....LOL!!!! My son was being rotten today, though. He usually plays nice, so I am hoping today he was just...grumpy. Jaxon, that little guy is just the sweetest! I know I have said that many times, but he sure does melt my heart!! He's such a good baby, and so cuddly! I just adore him!!! The boys got home from school today, and I had kissed Jaxon on the head. Keagan says, "Why did you just kiss him?" "He's not your baby." I said, I don't care if he's not my baby, he's just to sweet I can't resist kissing him. Besides he's a baby, and it's hard for me to resist. LOL!! I just love babies, I was telling Frank maybe I should look more in to infant photography? I know I would LOVE every minute of it. Not saying that Families, and kids are fun to take photos of, but oh my uterus!! BABIES!!! Plus it'll give me that baby fix I need every so often. I know that Liam & Kwin will start to play better, they just started playing together just a while ago so they are learning important things like sharing, being courteous, socialization, confrontation, being kind, and loving to our friends, and being helpful. Kwin did help, and asked Liam if he had to go potty today. LOL They had a blast trying to catch this fly in the house. I'm not sure how it got in here, or why it's still around? I just saw it the other day, but the boys were just a laughing. Time flies when you are having fun.....hahaha..lame, I know.

Got to hang with these loves today!!

Day 29: Snowy Day

Guess were gonna get a few inches of snow. Better than that Blizzard out East...YIKES!! I really do feel for them, but so thankful that it missed us! Just so over Winter! A friend was so kind and stopped by and plowed our driveway today. Maggie & Kwintyn really enjoyed watching. Kwin's been in a phase where lately he just likes to wear his undies. Been doing this about a month or so now. I will dress him or he will dress himself, but ends up taking his clothes off, and just wearing nothing but underwear. No biggie for me, saves laundry. He use to change his clothes 20x's a day, so I'm not complaining at all. Although this reminds me on the time when Keagan & Kyle were this age they stripped down after Pre-School to their undies. Frank & I always joked that they would be coming home from High School, and stripping down to just their underwear. I'm happy to report that they do not do that.....Hahaha!! I just can't believe he doesn't get cold, and if he does, he just asks for his blanket. Of course he has to put his clothes on when we have company. If I have to put my bra on, then he has to wear pants. Seems fair, right?!
Watching the plow truck

Day 28: Contest

Today I checked my email....I tend to forget to and then end up with a lot. But I stumbled across one from PicMonkey. I usually just deleted a lot of them, but this said something about a contest. So I read it. Seems easy, as I use PicMonkey pretty much everyday. I don't use some fancy editing software, I do have some, but I just don't have the time to sit and figure it out. I get frustrated. Pretty much need someone to teach me to use what I have. I have looked up Youtube tutorials and a few have helped, but I still don't feel confident with everything in Lightroom yet. Plus you then add in all the pretty presets they have...Oiy! Just gives me a headache thinking about it. But I NEED to tackle LR, and learn how to use it properly. So for now I like to use PicMonkey, I use it a lot!! I sometimes feel like that is one reason why I don't feel "professional" because I use pretty much a free, or cheap editing software. Although I try to get the best photo on my camera so I don't have to edit so much. But what the hell do I know?! I'm just some bum of a photog?! It is pretty weird seeing your images up on Pinterest even if I did do the uploading myself.....Hahahaaha! My interpretation of this contest was using the images that you made off PicMonkey, but as I soon got nosy & went looking at other boards I was question if I was doing it right?! Some people were just pinning random pins...I think? I just pinned some images that I used PicMonkey for. I hope I understood this right?!?! LOL I'd love the prize, it's a $300 Amazon gift card, and a free year to PicMonkey!!

Contest...Let the games Begin...

Day 27: Welcome To DirectTV

Today we switched from cable to satellite. So far we like it, and everyone we have dealt with have been great. The HD is nice we have never had HD before so that's a treat. We could have had it....for a fee. We got the Ultimate package, since that is the tier where the Sprout channel was available. So we could have saved $40 on a smaller package, but we JUST HAVE to have the Sprout channel. $40 channel that is! Hahah! But we are still saving money on this package than what we were paying with Charter. And even when they price increases for the 2nd year, we will still be saving money. Kinda getting less old school as the years pass. Maybe someday I will give up my land line, and get a cell phone?!?! The installation took a few hours so Kwintyn & I played with Play-Doh for a bit. Made numbers, and then played a match game. Had fun for about 15 minutes, and then he was done. I get frustrated playing Play-Doh with him....he mixes his colors up!! Hahaha Drives me mad. It's like Nooooooo!!!!!! Hahahaa Come on, you know that pisses you off.

Play-Doh numbers

Day 26: Dentist

Kids had their 6 month cleaning at the dentist today. 3/4 had tiny cavities. So we have to go back in a few weeks and get those taken care of. Kameron had one which surprised me as he always comes back cavity free, but I guess it's just a tiny one. Kwintyn will also be getting his teeth cleaned at that time as well. Hope it's not a disaster, like the last time. He seems to be getting better at things like that, so with a little bribing I'm sure he will be just fine. :D

Brush, Brush, Brush...

Day 25: How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You

Ahhh.....love is letting someone take a nap!! My wonderful Husband let me take a nap after Church today. He even cleaned the floors, did the laundry, and a bunch of other cleaning while I was sleeping. He even helped me cook dinner, and gave Kwintyn a bath. Was nice to not do much today, the sleep was well needed. Thanks, Babe for everything.

Just keep sleeping....

Day 24: Faith Is Seeing Light Your Heart

Lets see I think I got sufficient sleep last night? I woke up and was still tired. Kwin was up early but ended up laying back down in bed with me, so back to sleep...YES!!! Kyle had to work today, Keagan is at Brandon's....again! LOL So we went grocery shopping, and came home lounged around, made dinner, and then we went back in to town to get Kyle. We stopped and got coffee, at Tim Horton's....YUM! Took my camera for the ride, got a lot of random pics and I liked this one the best. Pretty soon I'm going to have a collection of parking lot photos. hahaha!! I'm sure I get weird looks, but I'll just say sitting in the parking lot I have seen not the brightest people. I'm a lot brighter than some people out there. Hahahaha I think I'm pretty damn colorful if you ask me. ;)

Day 23: How To Beat The Cold

Who knew that coloring & doing activities is the best way to beat the cold? I thought wrapping up in my robe, a blanket, and a hot cup of coffee was the best way to beat the cold, but I guess I was wrong.  Today I am just a grumpy person. I have been so tired all week. Kwintyn has been getting up in the middle of the night multiple times a night. It finally all caught up to me today, and I am really needing a nap.....and maybe some more coffee?

Kwintyn's coloring book he got with his birthday order, I am dragging my butt today. I asked him if he wanted a Valentine's Day photo shoot, he said No. So this is what I ended up with today.

Day 22: Sweeter Than Candy

Got to babysit today for Baby Jaxon! He's just sweeter than candy!! I did learn a fine lesson today.....NEVER do a photo shoot with a baby & a Pre-Schooler by yourself. I got everything set up which was a chore to do, it's a chore anyways but harder with no help. LOL When I do shoots I usually have the parent there to keep baby entertained until I am ready. Kwin was a big help, he really  was! I have to so a photo shoot with him soon, maybe tomorrow if I feel froggy to set everything back up. haha! I didn't get many photos, 25 to be exact, and if you know me, or have ever got photos from me you know that is a really, really short shoot. LOL There were a lot of wrongs on the photography level, overexposed, blurry, out of focus, ect, ect. But I did get some super cute shots. One in particular just melts my heart & makes my ovaries hurt!! I did do one funny edit, that had me laughing. He is such a good baby, too. Kwintyn was super sweet with him, and Maggie had to be right by him, or near him. I think in a way she was kinda being protective of him? She would follow me in to the next room even. We had lots of fun with Mr. Jaxon today. :)

 Sweeter than Candy!!

Day 21: The Butterfly Effect

A calm, yet chaotic day. Cleaned house, things were going well until Kwintyn opened the door & let Maggie outside. She ran off. I had just taken her outside, and I was out taking Sarge out, and Kwintyn just had to pop his head out the door, and bye-bye, Maggie. I was not dressed, and was still in my PJ's, and I was wearing my robe. LOL It's not easy to get her now since it's Winter. Before I get across the yard quick, snow makes you slower. I knew she was going to get cold so I just waited a bit...and called Frank panicking because usually she just runs off to the next door neighbors, this time she went across the street and I could no longer see her. I worried mainly about her getting hit by a car. She has a micro chip, and her home again tag is on her collar, and her rabies tag. She came back while I was on the phone with Frank, and came in all on her own. Yep, she was cold, and knew she was in TROUBLE!!! LOL We the Pastor come out today to talk to us about becoming a member of the church, but we are still thinking things over. He plans to answer some more questions for us, and go through this book with us. Religion can be so confusing & so I have my own questions & would like to hear what he has to say. Not sure what we will do? But it's been nice going to church, and I do see how it improved everyone is some areas. Plus we feel really welcomed at this church.

This butterfly hangs in my window, and the glow of it caught my eye today. Was just messing around with some edits & I liked this one. Kinda looks like a moon. Golden Butterfly.

Day 20: And I Was Like Whoa!

Made Chelsea stay home from school today, I didn't bother waking her up, as she had anxieties about going the next day. She wakes up and asks if it's not a school day. I said, It is, the boys are ar school, I just didn't wake you. Oh, she says. I said I'm gonna keep you home for now on. ;P LOL I was joking! haha Had to go get dog food, and I wanted to check out the dollar store for a few things cause I want to have a photo shoot with Mr. Jaxon. :) And I also wanted to check out the new pet store in town. They had the brand of food that we are buying again, which is expensive. $37 for a 20 pound bag. It's grain free, and all that good shit. Dogs are pooping wonderful again, we tried to go cheap and was buying the Rachael Ray's 6 something? But they always seems starving, and their poop was....well we won't go there. LOL But I notice there coats are getting softer again, and they seem fuller, as they don't act as if they are starving....as bad. Haha Holistic Select, the fish blend....it STINKS!! But I spent a little more money today than I wanted to, and then I was like WHOA! Kwintyn picked out a few Disney figurines out at the Dollar store, and so Squirt got to be the pic of the day. Oh I held a rat today too! I'm proud of myself cause I don't really like rats.....it's their tails!! Bleck! But otherwise they look cute. Also petted a Guinea Pig today, I use to secretly be afraid of those lil buggers. They would just freak me out. Hahaha I think it's cause some have hair, and not fur. Well this one had fur, so that helped. LOL Kwintyn like the birds, the finches in particular.

Duuude!!

Day 19: Sour, Then Sweet.

Kinda how my day went, like the Sour Patch Kids. lol Chelsea was complaining of a tummy ache this morning before school. She likes to say this quite often. She stayed home due to a tummy ache a few weeks ago, and was fine. So I sent her today. I told her if she still didn't feel good at school, then she could go to the office, and call me to come get her. Well I get a phone call early this morning from the school, Chelsea puked on the bus......Niiiiiice. Boy did I feel real great! Keagan stayed home sick too. He had a bad headache, and yesterday had a stomach ache too. By the afternoon they both seemed to be feeling better. I also started babysitting today, it will be a weekly thing, every Monday. I was hesitant to babysit today, due to the sickies, but Mom felt they would be fine. I mean, I think you have a bigger chance of picking up an illness elsewhere cause I have been sanitizing the hell out of everything since getting sick. LOL I'll be watching a 5 month old, and a 3 year old, both boys. Baby arrived sleeping, and so I got my camera out, and snapped a few pics. I was hoping the click of my camera wouldn't wake him...it didn't. He was out! Until the boys got loud. LOL The look on baby's face when he got up was cute. He looked confused, and then I started talking to him, and I get instant smiles. Hahaha I don't know where I am, or who you are but, Hey!!! Babies are so awesome...maybe that is why I had so many? I notice I am happier when around a baby, and my voice, and speech change. Kinda like how you see a cute puppy dog, or kitten? Then they just get to that certain age.....go from sweet, to sour. ;) 

Let him sleep for when he wakes he will move mountains. 

Day 18: Things To Do

Went to church today, it was only Frank, Kwin, & I that went. Keagan & Chelsea were at a friends, and Kyle wasn't "feeling well" and so then Kam wanted to stay home too. I asked Kam if he wanted to go to church with us, he said no. I said, are you sure?! Putting emphasis on, you sure?! I had plans of going to breakfast after, and nobody knew that. So I saved some money on breakfast today. We went to Bob Evans, Kwin had the piggy pancakes...pancakes that look like a cute lil piggie! Frank & I had the same, some big breakfast, sausage, hash browns, eggs. He had french toast, I had a blueberry crepe...SO GOOD! I think we need to start having breakfast out more often. Got home, worked on a church book we were given a month ago. The Pastor wants to talk to Frank & I about the booklets.....Uh, we just started the booklets today.....OOPS! Just not sure where we want to go with our religion yet. Just still content going to church every Sunday. Grandpa stopped out and visited, and I did some cleaning, Frank did some laundry, and cooked dinner. Which I messed up on. We were suppose to have PepperJack Chicken, and I looked up the recipe, and I didn't have any stuffing. So...off to Pinterest I go, and what do you know?! Success!! Found something that needed only 5 ingredients & I had all of them...WOOT! Buffalo Chicken Pasta. Was quick, easy, and was alright. Needs a little more flavor, or something? But I'd make it again, so Pinterest to the rescue again! I then realized it was getting late, and I had not had my photo of the day yet. I had it on my mind all day just couldn't think of anything. Until I saw my blank To Do list. Better than the picture of dinner I was going to take. :)

Things to Do....

Day 17: Doggone It!

We really slacked taking the Christmas tree down this year, we just took it down today. But some people put their Christmas trees up early....like October, so yeah...doesn't sound bad now, huh? As I was putting decorations away, the dogs got excited as they saw the neighbors dog wondering again. Sarge thinks he's a small dog, or cat, he gets in trouble all the time for sitting on the couch like this. They are actually not suppose to be on the couch but they end up on there anyways. I have to buy, or make some new beds for them. Maggie has gotten so big! She is now a year & a half, Sarge will be 4, this May. Yesterday Kwintyn said the funniest & cutest thing to Maggie, and it was so out of the blue. He said " Hakuna Matata, Mags," Hakuna Matata." Hahaha!

Chelsea went to friends birthday party today, and is now spending the night there. I guess she was pretty excited from what Frank said. Keagan is at his friends too, so we are down to 3 kids tonight. Kyle was working earlier so we only had 2, so weird not having them all here.

Hakuna Matata, Mags.....Hahahaha...

Day 16: You're My WonderWall

Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you. By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do.....Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me and after all you're my wonderwall. Needed a pic of the day as I didn't get one earlier, we had a play date this afternoon. So after dinner I was on the hunt for something to photograph, and this "Wonder" magnet stuck out to me. I instantly thought of Oasis' Wonderwall song. LOL So that is how this photo evolved.

Cause you're my Wonderwall

Day 15: Winter Fairy

Took the dogs outside, and my garden fairy caught my eye today. She looked so pretty sitting in the snow with the sunlight hitting her. It was actually quite warm today....26 degrees, I think my phone said. It was like a heat wave for us, earlier this week we were at -19 degrees!! Brrr Seems much warmer today.

I believe in Fairies.....

Day 14: On Wednesday We Wear Pink

Spent the day organizing kitchen cabinets, so I really didn't have much in mind for a pic of the day. It was while dinner was in the oven when I finally got my shot. I was unsure of what to take a picture of so I saw Chelsea's Littlest Pet shop cat & thought, Aww she's cute!! And then I remembered that I had a pink polka dotted napkin in the cabinet, I remember seeing them while organizing party leftovers...I save the napkin, plates, ect, for future parties. So it worked as a cute backdrop for my cute little kitty. :)

Day 13: When You See It...

Bricks will be shat. My husband decided to shave last night. Some may think that is normal to do so....but when you don't shave it isn't normal. Last time my husband shaved his whole face was 17 years ago!! So you can imagine my shock when I saw him with no facial hair. I didn't notice at first, and he was a sitting right next to me! But my face was on the computer thanks to Pinterest. I looked over at him, and did a double take, and dropped what I was holding, and said OMG!!! WTH?!?! YOU SHAVED!!!! OMG!!!! OMG!!!! OMG!!! You look SO different! :O Then just a few seconds after I realized he shaved, Kwintyn noticed it. He looked at his Daddy, and then crouched down & hid behind me. I was still laughing because that is all I could do, other than be in shock. Kwin kept hiding his face, and then he got up to Frank & felt his face. LOL He then went to Chelsea's door to her room, and said in a not so loud voice, Chelsea..some see Daddy! Hahahaha!! She pops her head out her door, and then back in her room she goes. Haha The dogs even had a dumbfounded look on their face when they saw him. They were even thinking, WTF?! LOL Then Keagan came up, and all he needed was a quick side view, and then he yelled, OMG!!!!! KYLE!!!!!!! I was in tears from laughter, and about to pee my pants, it didn't help that Kwintyn thought Keagan's reaction was hysterical, and was laughing so hard he giggle snorted a few times. Then Kyle & Kameron came up, Kameron was speechless as he said nothing, Kyle was just surprised, and why. Hahaha!!! The kids have never seen their Father without any facial hair. I'm not sure if this traumatized them in anyway? I'm still weirded out by it. They sure won't forget it that's for sure! And this time I got a picture of him!

Without Facial Hair...

So yeah....see why I was SO shocked!! I keep saying, "You look so different!"

Day 12: Son Of A Biscuit!!

Electronics just piss me off. I am not good with them. Well computer type items, I should say. You can really impress me just by being good around the computer. ;) Frank got me a printer for Christmas, and I just got some paper this weekend so we set it up, and I did the installation today on my computer. It's a wireless printer, so nicer than my old one. But I had to download the set up, and I followed the directions to a "T" but still something was wrong no matter what I did. I was getting pissed, and said a few choice words. Frank helped me when he got home, and I was still having troubles, and then....Hallelujah!! Something worked!! Love that success feeling. lol I had the Yes, I did it feeling...you know that feeling? Well it was short lived. Haha I started having troubles again. So I just ignored it, and came back to it, and I figured it out. Not sure what the hell I did, or didn't do. They make things so complicated with some things, especially with the way they word things. All you had to do is say press the button on the router, instead of access point...which had me scratching my head. I knew what the access point was, but Uh?!??!! Oh!!! Press the damn button!!! DUH! Sheesh, why isn't you just say that?! Hahaha Not so techy.

Son of a.......

Day 11: I Am A Day Dreamer & A Night Thinker

Lots of randomness today. But I think I ended up with a really cool photo. Was a lazy Sunday today. We did a little shopping, and then later back to town to pick up Kyle. I wore my cowl today, a good friend made it & I got it through a white elephant gift exchange we did. I LOVE it! Second time wearing it, and it keeps my neck pretty warm & if it's blowing & snowing I can just pull it up on to my head. Kwin wore his monkey hat today too, that was made by another great friend.

Photo of the Day: It wasn't this dark out, but I just loved how the edit turned out. Surprised me how neat it was when I did this effect.

 My cowl, that is homemade! I love it!

Day 10: A Life With Love Will Have Some Thorns

Didn't do much today. Cleaned the bathroom, did some laundry...not a very productive day. Frank worked today, and after dinner we headed over to a friends for his Birthday. Had a few drinks, and Kwintyn met a new friend, and played nice with her. Took a bit to get warmed up & not be so shy. Frank was super sweet, and bought me flowers & really nice card today. I asked him why he bought me flowers & asked if I read the card. No, not yet.....Open the card & read it. So very sweet, and loving. He got them for me just because. The card at the end says, "I love you just because" Aww!!! Love him so much!!

One of the roses that Frank got for me today. There are 11 more beauty full roses, and a very sweet card that went with them. He got them for me "just because." Kwintyn kept turning off the lights when I went to take a photo of the roses, so I picked one & went outside. Better lighting anyways. I got some beautiful shots of this rose. This is one. Thanks so much for the beauty full roses, and delightful card, babe. It really made my day!! I love you, Frank.  You know that I don't need diamonds or anything else, you know that my heart can be delighted with the simplest things.

Day 9: Be Calm In Your Heart

Another bitter cold day, School was cancelled so I got to sleep in. Cleaned the kitchen, made a roast, did a load of laundry. Didn't so much it seems but my kitchen looks better. :) The roast sucked! LOL Saw the frost on the door, and I had to make some art. :) Love scribbling on frosty windows.

Photo of the Day:

Runner Up: I had this idea in mind first, but Frozen is so over used now. But I still like how this image turned out.

Day 8: Wake Up Child, It's Your Time To Shine

Wake Up, Sleepy head! Kwintyn got up at 6:00 a.m. this morning. He watched a few cartoons, and then came down to my bed and fell asleep. I was sitting in my bed all snug, browsing through Facebook when he came down, and laid next me. I look over, and he is out! I thought about joining him for a nap, but ended up on the couch watching T.V. I never get to watch T.V. because cartoons are on, or Frank's shows are on. LOL So I enjoyed the Today show, and the Kathy Lee, & Hoda show, some Family Feud, and an episode of Snapped. I was wondering when he was going to get up because he slept for a long time, I kept checking on him. He finally got up at 1:50 p.m.!! He fell asleep around 9 a.m. Wonder if he will sleep good tonight, and how late is he going to be up?! lol He is like me, he likes his sleep. Ever since Kwintyn was a baby, he slept in. It was nice!! He would wake up, and come to our bed, and fall asleep all the time. But now, he really doesn't come to our bed much in the night. If he sees me laying in bed in the morning he will get in bed with me & fall back to sleep. Frank is an early bird, and so is Kameron, & Chelsea. Drove me nuts when they would wake up so early. Haha

As I was taking these pictures, I saw how big Kwin is now. He is getting so big!! My they grow so fast! Yesterday I was in the bathroom, and had just got out of the shower, and was getting around. I heard this mans voice, and thought "Who the hell is here?" And then I realized it was Kyle talking!! Haha! Scared me for a second. I'm not use to the deepening voices yet, it's just so crazy to hear a different voice coming from you're child. Makes it known that they are growing up, and they are no longer little boys. I will say that we have lucked out so far with the dreaded girlfriends.....So far. At their age, I & their Father we're interested in the opposite sex. I'm sure they are, too, but no girlfriends yet!! YAY!!!!! :D Not ready for that shit.....EVER!! LOL!

Day 7: It's To Cold Outside For Angels To Fly.

It's to cold for anything to go outside. LOL Surprised they had school....ok, no I'm not. It's been so darn cold out!! My fingers get numb just taking the dogs outside. Poor Sarge's paw got frozen out there & he came limping in. He was quick outside, too, he usually takes a while.

I know I took a photo of this angel for my 2010 365 project, but she was in a different spot. But she looked so pretty sitting there in the window in the natural sunlight today. The sun came out for a bit today!! And just the way the sunlight hit her I thought it looked quite lovely. I use to collect angels but now, not so much. I don't know what it is about her, but she just catches my eye sometimes out of the blue. They say that when feathers appear angels are near. Well when I took the photo for day 5, the frost. I thought the frost formation looked like little feathers from a feather pillow.....Hmmmm. I think I might have an angel near by then. :)

2015, 365 project Day 7: So bless, you my darling, my angel, heaven is mine and life is divine with you.

2010, 365 project Day 68: "Heavenly Glow"

I'd like to think that my photography has gotten better too?!

Day 6: Freeze!! POLICE!!!

Kwintyn had to spend some of his Christmas money on this Police set. I guess his eyes lit up when he saw this, and HAD to have it. So Dad says. LOL I was busy grocery shopping. Frank said he got all excited when he saw it, said he seen the fire station, and was like "Oh that's cool." And then he moved the fires station, and saw the Police set, and it was magic to his eyes. Haha I had to play with him today, so we played. I was the helicopter. :D Whoop, Whoop!!

To protect & serve

Day 5: You're Gonna Catch A Cold From The Ice That's In Your Soul

Baby, it's cold outside!! Brr!! With wind chill it was -10. I guess we are suppose to get more snow, and it's gonna stay bitter cold. You know it's cold outside when the door starts to accumulate frost on the glass. Happens every time it gets bitter cold out. It also makes some very beautiful prints! I wanted to put a quote on todays photos. I couldn't decide so I edited two, and did a quote, and some lyrics from a song. Which is a very lovely song, sang very beautiful. Got some grocery shopping done today, and now all I want to do is snuggle & get warm.

Photo of the day: You're Gonna catch a cold from the ice that's in your soul. 

Runner Up: You need to be cold to be a Queen......Uh.....NAILED IT!! LOL

Day 4: Come On Barbie Let's Go Party!

Went to church today, and dropped Kyle off early to work. he went in an hour & a half early, so he could eat, and get around. His new hangout! LOL Now we are just trying to clean up, and will be cooking dinner soon. I needed to get my pic of the day, so I starting thinking. Chelsea's Barbie house kept catching my eye, so I got down & played for a bit. She got this condo with a pool from Santa. I loved Barbies as a kid, and I got in to the Barbie game a bit late. I was older when I discovered how much fun Barbies could be. I was about 11 years old, and my Step-Sister introduced them to me. I had Barbies as a kid, but never really got in to them, I was all about baby dolls. We would play for hours & hours in the basement with our Barbies, mostly setting up there house. We had some pretty good imaginations, and came up with a lot of stuff on our own, and made our own things. I remember being embarrassed playing with Barbies because I was older, and it was uncool to play with toys, let alone Barbies!! Should have just stayed in that basement a little longer...no trouble was being made down there. And then I discovered boys, and make-up, and it all went to hell from there. LOL!!!! So many great memories playing Barbies, and I think that is the only time my Step-Sister & I got a long. Haha ;) We even took pictures with our Barbies, so no same doing it a 34 years old. LOL!!!! I could have gone another way with this.....but I kept it semi clean. Hahaha But I will say that Barbies dress would not stay up, and that is where my thought process went....Slut Barbie. Pretty bad cause I went to church today!!! Hahahahaa!! Eh, it's ok. Jesus loves you.....but I'm his favorite. ;P

Barbie, Life in the Dreamhouse....ok so it's really a Condo...SO WHAT?!

Day 3: It Is What It Is

Got a lot accomplished today. Cleaned the bathroom..walls included. Which we really need to paint again, and get that fan. I cleaned the kitchen,and organized 1 cabinet. LOL I'm on day 2 of feeling better. Yesterday I cleaned our bedroom, and Kwin's, those took about all day to do. So I have been feeling productive lately. I'm hoping this virus is gone & out of our house soon. We still have some sniffles & coughs going around. Kyle's been working a lot lately, and he was given a gift card from his manager for picking up other peoples shifts. He really likes his job, and his buddy is going to start working there soon. We waited for almost 35 minutes for Kyle to get out of work tonight. I needed a picture so I pulled my point & shoot out of my purse. It's the one Frank got me last year for Christmas...the one he was excited to give me...the one that I ended up hating...yeah, that camera. I still hate it.....LOLOLOL!!! ;P But it's nice to keep in my purse...I guess. It take blurry as heck pictures, and there is no manual on it.....drives me insane!!! I have the crazy shakes so I like to adjust things myself. But it is what it is......and I like the shot I got, and what I made of it, we see what we want.  All that matters. Oh, and I got a cute shot of Frank, & I. :)

We see what we want...what I see, make a wish!!!

Day 2: Art Is The Stored Honey Of The Human Soul

I'm gonna brag. I never brag...or at least I don't think I do?! But I would have to say that, we have a lot of talent in our house. Frank can draw pretty good, and so can Keagan, Kameron, and Chelsea. Keagan always got a lot of praises about his art work in school. Chelsea is starting to get praises about hers. Chelsea painted some drawings she made for Frank, & I, as Christmas gifts. I was amazed at how well she painted these!! I am going to press them so I can get them flat, so I can frame them. They look like something you can buy!!! I thought they were just adorable, and I was just marveled by the fact that my 9 year old painted these! I get praises about my photography, but I think that is a learned talent? Unlike painting & drawing. Frank says it's a learned talent as well, but I love to doodle, but I am not good at drawing things at all. LOL I want to get Chelsea some canvas & paints now, and see what she come up with. Who knows maybe she could sell em someday?! I just had to document this piece of art. She surely is one talented little girl under all that quietness.

Art is the stored honey of the human soul.

Day 1: Today Is The First Blank Page Of A 365 Page Book.

Happy 2015!! I hope that this year is better than 2014. 2014 to sum it up was, Heartache. Lots of it, too. From losing loved ones, personal issues, marriage issues, money issues, health issues, they all caused a lot of heartache. But today is a whole new year!!! Time to focus on what you want the year to bring to you. I hope that it brings lots of good, and nothing bad this year. I know many whom have struggled in 2014 with different issues, or troubles. It was a rough year for many as I have read, or seen.
Resolutions for this year, are pretty much the same as any other year. LOL Eating better, getting healthier, getting organized. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda....But I have hopes for this year, and the want to do so. You have to really want something to get your ass up and do it. I'm taking baby steps at these resolutions, 1. Because I am getting over being sick, and 2. I have to start slow, and work my pace up. or else I will stress to much. This year already smells better!!! Mostly because I can breathe through both nostrils today!! haha So when I get to being all better, I'm all about the change. Lots of things to work on with myself, family life, marriage, and my photography. I'm hoping that by doing another random project that it will keep my eyes open for things, and get me to try different things. I would like to take the project 50 challenge & incorporate it into this one. Project 50 is where you use only a 50mm lens & take a photo a day for 50 days. Gets me to learn my lenses more. I also want to dabble more into my digital art, I really have fun with that. Just need more templates or to buy photo shop.  I'm excited for this project, I see lots of silliness, fun, and learning in my 2015. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings. :)


I will be sharing my 2015 on here, as I will write more on here. And I will at least share my photo on Facebook, as my Husband wants to see my photos, and FB is easier for him....or so he says. lol I will also post more photos in here, as I have taken a few photos and I just can't ever decide what one to pick. Guess I'll call them the Runner Ups.

Day 1: Photo of the Day

 Runner Up: Was my first choice...but I went with the top one.
