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!

Science project



Every six weeks for the last two years Blake has had to do a science project. In the beginning, the projects were pretty fun. Now, they have become an annoyance. We still have fun at times with them but I'd rather not have to do this every six weeks. His science teacher is pushing 80 and really should consider staying home and gardening or something. He's a really nice man and all but his teaching days are over, the class has become somewhat of a joke. Heck, what am I saying, a lot of his classes have become a joke. Teachers just aren't "teachers" anymore. It's really sad!

Tea for Two



An amazing tea party with an amazing hostess! She's dramatic and feisty, bossy and strong spirited, maybe even a little heard headed, but I wouldn't have her any other way. She's amazing and I love her to the moon and back!! Great party with a great girly!

Helping Hand



It was a great day at the gym. Our boys played well in the tournament. I am so proud of my boy. He scored a couple of three pointers and played the best I've ever seen him play. The girls were good, family was there. What a great day!

Computer Time



Sweet baby was so tired. Her brother and sister wore her out tonight. She got her tummy full and sacked out while mommy was hanging out on facebook. Everyone else is finally asleep so it's time for the two of us to go warm the sheets.

Magna Doodle



It's hard to believe that my baby girl is sitting up and scooting around. It seems like only yesterday that I was pregnant with her.

Red Velvet



My sweet girl just had to help mommy make the cake. As soon as we were done with the mixer she had to lick the beaters. Times like these are priceless!!

Play time



She's not quite crawling yet but she's close. She is getting up on her hands and toes and crawfishing. She goes backwards and can move from one side of the room to the other rather quickly. It's really cute but she gets a little aggravated that she can't go where she wants to go. Hitting these milestones are bittersweet. I love that she's growing and progressing but at the same time it makes me sad that my baby is growing so fast.
