The Rest of July Challenge Photos - well...almost

I didn't quite make it this time, but I'm already working on the August Photo Challenge and so far, so good.

19.  Animal/Insect/Pet - I just happened to find this fellow on the hood of my car.  I thought it was perfect for this challenge.  I took it with my phone, but I still love the way it turned out.



20.  Eyes - Look at those gorgeous eyes!  I think part of the charm of this shot is that he was trying REALLY hard not to smile for some reason.  That is same face he makes every time he tries not to smile or laugh.


22.  Upside-down - Shorty's been driving me nuts lately with the headstands.  Every time I turn around he's standing on his head.  He's pretty good at it.  LOL!  I couldn't decide which photo I liked better so I used them both.  :)



25.  Heart - We've been watching the Olympics just like tons of other families and man oh man is it inspiring!  The things humans can make their bodies do is just incredible, as is the dedication to get to that point.  I'm almost a blubbering mess just watching it on television.  If I were there in person, I'd be an embarrassing wreck of a puddle!  We're definitely proud of our team U.S.A!


26.  Sunshine - There's no shortage of that here!  As a matter of fact, there's so much of it that I avoid the outdoors right now.  100+ degrees is NOT OK!


29.  The last thing you bought - That would have been a new sprinkler control box for us.  A little daunting for us who are not do-it-yourselfers, but B got it swapped out in just a few minutes and totally impressed me in the process!  :)

Snow Flakes in TX

Image
We woke up this morning to fluffy, white snow everywhere. The biggest snowflakes I've ever seen were falling from the heavens. It is just beautiful out there. Have I ever mentioned how much I love my house?? This shot totally cracks me up - Joshua on the receiving end of a massive snow ball from his big brother!! Joshua stuffing what's left of our broken flag pole... Just playing it cool until he could sneak up behind Bryan with that snowball. Not entirely sure, but I think he was taste testing that snow... Such a great smile - love it! Pretty sure he is up to no good. LOL ! Ahhh - the grassy snow man that just wouldn't stop falling apart. He was focused though... DEFINITELY up to no good! Check out all of that snow falling! Snow angel made by my #1 angel. Another gorgeous smile! I just like this photo because of all the snow falling around them. I think they both ended up with snow down their front collars on this one. It was a lot of fun watching them play in th...

First Day of 1st Grade

Image
Bryan has been in school for 3 weeks now. He is having a great time in first grade and doing pretty well. He is loving the fact that he is a "veteran" student and knows his way around and what is expected of him. First Grade comes with a LOT of homework and tests and we've all come to realize that it is going to require a lot more effort on all of our parts to keep him ahead of the pack. They have mixed up what were the two Kinder. classes, so some of his friends are in his class and some are from the other K class from last year. It's great since he will get to know a lot more kids in his year.

Blogging for Scrapbookers

Image
I'm taking my first online class from http://www.shimelle.com/ . Although, I've been blogging since the end of 2006, I think there is definite room for improvement. I'm not the most consistent person in the world (and boy, do I wish that was the case) and I'm not the most articulate either... There are a few things I hope to get out of this class: Some tips and tricks on blog design (I have already benefited in this department) Some friendly reminders pertaining to writing techniques I would love for this to help me develop some habits - like maybe posting more frequently I want to develop my blog into, not only a place to keep family and friends up to date, but a place I can go back to in order to jog my not-so-spectacular-memory. I love to scrapbook, but I find myself forgetting the details so often. It would help to be able to come back here and say "oh ya, that's what I wanted to remember about Christmas morning 3 years ago". Cause let's face it, I...
