My 365 Project

I have never been one to like my picture taken. I've always been the one behind the camera. My mom passed away ten years ago and I have very few photos of her. Only a handful of photos of my youth exist. I have my memories and no one can ever take that but for my kids, I want lots and lots of photos. My husband laughs at me sometimes because I take so many pictures of the kids. I don't want to miss a single milestone. They grow up too fast and if you're not careful you'll miss something important. My friend Girl is an amazing photographer and she did a 365 project last year. She's an artist and was very creative with her pictures. It was inspiring to watch her from afar and admire her work. She inspired me to take photos of myself with my children. It is going to be really hard and often times very boring but I WILL take one picture a day for the next year. I WILL do this for my children. I'm not an artist but a picture a day with one of my beautiful children should be a doable task. Wish me luck!

Story Time



Story time with the girls can be very challenging. Sister loves to hear the story and actually tell me what I'm reading but Thumper, well she likes to try and eat the book. Sister doesn't like it much when Thumper tries to eat her books, lol. There are lots of NO and STOP being said. Sometimes we have to give Thumper her own book and it distracts her enough to let Sister and I make it through a few pages. Fun Times!

Shoulder Massage



My boy gives the best shoulder massage ever!! He's been massaging my shoulders since he was about two years old. If I'm really tense or have a headache, all I have to do is call on my Bubba to give me a good shoulder massage. He's got big strong hands and really helps his momma out. I love that boy!

Yahtzee



Nothing like playing a little Yahtzee with my boy. Thumper wanted to get her hands on the dice so bad. Bubba and I don't get enough time like this together anymore. When we do, it's loads of fun!

Trampoline days



The girls and I have finally been able to get outside and enjoy the sunshine here the last couple of days. Thumper is really liking the trampoline and Sister has always been a big fan. I have the best job in the world, being full time mommy!

Little Cheerleader



My little cheerleader had so much fun at the games tonight. She sang, she danced, she entertained! She loves to cheer for the Bearkats, especially her Bubba. She had fun playing with Kyndal and Hallie too. Those three girls giggled and screamed the entire 3 hours that we were there. I love my little cheerleader!

Giggling Girlies




Silly girls both had the giggles. They are really starting to enjoy bath time together. I am sure that there will be many more bath time giggles in the next few years. Raising two girls so close in age is going to be so much fun!

Butterfly kisses



There is nothing like sweet butterfly kisses from my sweet girl. I love that girl! She's high strung and has a mind of her own. Keeping up with her, well it keeps me on my toes. There are often times where I just want to pull my hair out from trying to deal with her but in the end, those sweet hugs and kisses make it all better. She's so loving and can be the sweetest thing ever. I'm so thankful for her and her butterfly kisses!!!
