[PC] Day 22

Hands
my big handed big little boy loves to hold mine while we snuggle. I melt with his sweet little gestures.

Bokeh- Hello Bee.

[PC] Day 19 and pumpkin patch

Something Orange

How appropriate! Im just going to tie this one into our pumpkin picking adventure.We took Justins mom with us to pick out our pumpkins this year. We like to go to a local home that has a big field of pumpkins to choose from. This year we went a bit to late, so they were all cut and pulled to the side of the road. But it was a gorgeous 75 degree day (which is rare!!).

Long Exposure

[PC] Day 15

Silhouette

I swear I have not given up. I am slowly but surely finishing this challenge. Emphasis on slowly. This picture was taken on our ferry ride to the San Juan Islands up above Seattle this past weekend. Its Beautiful up there and this is in my top 3 prettiest sunsets ever. More on that later.

{CORRECTION}

THIS is what happens when you blog late at night. Ok, it was only 9:30, but I was in bed asleep by 9:45. Anyways, I posted the wrong picture. In my effort to go to bed faster, I did not pay attention to what I was posting.... Um, yea. Heres what I had intended to put up.

[PC] Day 12

Sunset

This was not taken today, but it is the last picture of a sunset I took. It was from my backyard, and I couldnt believe the colors.

[PC] Day 11

Something BlueMy Boys room!! Its finally done! I have always wanted my boys to share a room, and I'm so excited they do now! Its nothing fancy, but I love it. I got the comforters from target. They are both Queen sized blankets, but I cut one to make it fit in the crib and used it for over the window. My mom and I finished Rhys's bed last time she was here; it used to be Justins when he was little. We cut some stuff out/off, added beadboard and painted it. I love how it turned out. This has been a 18 month project to get it just the way I wanted, and cheaply, and it couldn't make me happier.

[PC] Day 10

Childhood MemorySince this ttok so long, I'll do a couple. This is me riding my brothers ATV thing. This thing was awesome! We used it up until we were 10 or so. I tried to find a picture of when my brother and I did a triathlon in the back yard. He is 2 years older than me, so it little different than a regular race. I used water wings for the swim, he had to swim the pool length twice. I rode the ATV while he biked. And Im pretty sure he still won. That is one of my earliest memories.

note: check out my sweet outfit. Sweet hand-me-downs from my brother, all the way down to my checked VANS. Oh yea!
Despite my inability to dance well now, my mom tried hard to give me a good foundation in ballet and jazz. I had recitals (with my moms awesome handywork in making the outfit) and would pose all on my own. I really liked that part.

[PC] Day 9

Someone you love

Predictable, I know. But they rule my world.

[PC] Day 8

A Bad Habit

So my dad asked what I was going to do for this picture on the morning of when it should have been posted. I told him I didnt have any. He lovingly offered to give suggestions. Thanks dad.

Turns out its hard to photograph procrastination. This will have to do. This is a little corner in my kitchen that I hate. I hate that it always looks so messy, no matter how many times I clean it. I hate that I cant help but fill that little tray with so much stuff it over flows. I hate that the pile is only organized to me, like when my husband asks wheres this paper and I tell him in the pile he gets this dreadful look on his face like I just sent him into lions den. Oh well.

[PC] Day 7

FruitJust the inspiration I needed to get my family out of the house for a walk to pick blackberries. One of my favorite things about Oregon is the rampant blackberry bushes every where. We have a field full of them behind our house and have enjoyed several cobblers and crisp this year.

[PC] Day 6

From a Low Angle

We had fun in Seattle. Cant wait to go back!

[PC] Day 5

From a High Angle

This was taken at a recent trip to Seattle on top of the Space Needle. My literal high angle.

[PC] Day 4

Something Green

Sorry. This was yesterdays. I had a minor misunderstanding with a fellow challenger, but it has been resolved. And no more muffs. I don't want to be the chump in my own challenge.

Anyways, this is a watermelon for summer. I'm going to miss it when it leaves, so we are soaking up every moment.

[PC] Day 2

What You Wore Today

So knowing what the picture challenge was today, there was a lot of pressure this morning over what to put on. I mean, your outfit for the world to see. Yikes. I spent a little too much time trying on different things hoping for the perfect match. Fail. Why is it when you HAVE to be crafty/fashionable/clever all inspiration leaves. I kept looking at my clothes thinking nothing matched. I picked up some pants and literally thought what do I usually wear with this? This happens alot. I need that computer in Clueless where it matches all your clothes for you and then pulls them out. But I love nothing more than a good white shirt and dark jeans. Classic.

Yes, I was in these clothes today, despite my absence from the picture. But considering we dont have a full length mirror, I didnt want a picture of me standing on the bath tub and scrunching down to get it all in the shot.

In case your interested: Shirt- Ashmarlin, Jeans- CoH, Shoes- TOMS, Bag- GUESS, bracelett- Tiffany's

[Photo Challenge] Day 1

Self Portrait

This is what I picked. Originally I thought it would be cool to take one and only shot each day and see how it goes. That went out the window after I saw the first picture. And I picked this onefor a couple reasons. 1. Its sunny. And I love to be outside when its sunny. This happens to be druing my boys afternoon naps, and I like to go read my book outside, in peace, to soak up the last bit of summer. 2. Its not great. I figure it can only go up from here.
