A photo a day...not so much on this blog

I talked about posting a photo a day on this blog. I nixed that idea and have just been putting it on another blog.

Bamboozled

bam·boo·zle

to trick or confuse (someone)

I purchased an ABC app for the iTouch and while it was downloading I went to make some waffles, I come back and Isaac had purchased 4 other apps! I asked him "why" and he said without hesitating, "I want more games."
So, the reason I purchased this ap was because cute little Issac can't say his ABC's nor can he tell me what a letter is but then later on today I find him writing his name in a book. What the heck he does know the letters and he can write out his name. It's so BOY.


He also made all these drawings on post it notes and put them by everyone's bedroom.

Root Canal

I spent most of my day in the dentist chair.
Hated it!
It hurt and I felt a lot of pain.
Who feels bad for me?!

I had the apt @ 12:00 it was scheduled for an hour, 3 hours later I was done. Then I had a babysitter lined up for 3:00 to go the temple but I was still at my apt. Finally made it home and made it to the temple a 4:30 and did sealings, and while there I almost passed out. Ha, fun stuff! But I'm all good now.

Studio

You see my camera on the tripod there? It was prepped to be used for recording and so I thought I couldn't use it therefore, I was out of a camera...not so my friends I have another one...duh!

Excersize

Yes, I like to excersize. I really do enjoy how it makes me feel but sometimes it's hard to do.

Sitting up already

It was an improptu photo shoot...he can't move...gotta take advantage of that.

Growing

This little guy is growing so fast....he is already 5 months old, sitting up and rolling over. He just recently had a well check and he weighs 17 lbs. 72% on his weight 38% on his height and his head is 34%. So in all, he is short and fat but I just can't get enough of those chubby thighs.

Big Sis

The kids had to walk home from school today because I didn't have a car to pick them up. Gabe made it home in like 10 min and then Bryn comes running in about the 30 min later but had to make a mad dash to the bathroom, while Elyse is still walking. Bryn heads back out to get her but stops to tell me she gave Elyse her boots because her shoes kept falling off. So, Bryn ran home in the snow without shoes. How sweet is that?

Bokeh

This was done with my new lens...you can put a shape in the lens to get what you see in the background. Its a heart shape if you can't tell.

I showed my family and they couldn't see it.

Its a New Year

Looking forward to some changes :)

Night Scene

I am starting out this year with a challenge to take a photo a day for 365 days. WOW! How cool is that? So, to start off the year here is a Night photo I took.

It is one of the words on my list (52 week photo challenge for the year). I went driving around finding the perfect shot and I came up with 3...just couldn't narrow it down.

btw it was freezing when I went out on this excursion...my toes where so cold.

Beckam

This little guy is growing so fast....he is already 5 months old, sitting up and rolling over. He just recently had a well check and he weighs 17 lbs. 72% on his weight 38% on his height and his head is 34%. So in all, he is short and fat but I just can't get enough of those chubby thighs.

Photos galore

Holding hands

Isaac loves to hold Beckam's hand...like ALL the time.

Brynlee the Mom

She said to me one time "I kind of feel like Beckam is my baby cuz, I love to take care of him." and she does. She is such a big help with him. I am so grateful when she can see a need and fills it by picking him up and playing with him or just to change his diaper. Now, all the kids love to help but Bryn really takes it upon herself to really take care of him on her own.

Family Service Project

This year was perfect for our family. The service was to be done within your own family and then to find someone in your neighborhood to serve. We went to visit an old lady named Betty Seely, we talked and sang her some songs.
As for the service in our family we drew out names and for a week served those names anonymously. We all really enjoyed it, it was the focuse on for the week. The results were felt in the heart...we all loved it. Thanks Scott & Jamie for such a wonderful idea.

Later we all meet on a Monday night and talked about our results and had a Family Home Evening.
while taking photos I stumbled upon this gem
then Nate
and Hailey


And celebrated Greg's Happy Birthday

Greg did he traditional Tepanyaki dinner. The kids ask and look forward to this meal. Its a once in a year thing for us...its fun and we love it. Thanks Mom and Dad for having a such a great tradition.

A Foggy Christmas Eve

Rudolph was needed last night to make deliveries it was FOGGY!

Christmas was wonderful there was so much JOY and Gratitude it was peaceful.

We didn't open presents until 8:00 however I did not want to get up...I was tired, Beckam was up fussing every hour from 1 til 6 and the sad thing is he is such a fun cute little boy, I don't talk about that much because a lack of sleep is always on the brain. I know it will change soon, just gotta see what we can do for him.
I cheered up as I saw the joy in their faces...everyone so excited to have Christmas here, so excited in fact that they didn't get much sleep last night either.
Later we had the yummy brunch at Nana and Grandpa's and played some games. Relaxing and fun and that's how Christmas should be. And now, I'm tired and should go to bed but I just need a break...so, I blog!!!

He does sleep

...in the morning from 6a.m. to 12 p.m. and the rest of the night its fussy time. We have no idea what to do.

O Christmas Tree

Its been on my mind for some time now. This is the time I enjoyed decorating my house, or the house we used to live in. It was one of the times Greg was excited to get into decorating the tree. To me there was something about having that tree, fresh cut, large and beautiful. I marveled at it as I walked past it everyday and looking at all its glory. I wish I could walk in the front door and take another look. I know the house gave us grief at times but I sure did love the changes that happened. I know I have to move on and I will but just had to say what was on my mind.



I do have to say it was so easy to set up the tree this year, fake and prelit.
Here's a look at all the decorations that are up around the house. This year the kids did most of the decorating. Everything on the tree was chosen by them and made by them.
I joy in looking at Christmas trees ever since I was a girl and this just makes my heart melt to see all the ornaments that have been made with pride by these children.
