Cute--Photo challenge

2011-06-21T05:51:00.000-07:00

This is my entry to the photo challenge "Cute." I can't help but think that when I see this picture of little buddy and his dirt mustache.

Parenthood

2011-06-21T05:39:00.000-07:00

I snagged this picture during the sea lion show, when we went to the zoo with my mom and dad. You can tell she just loves being with her Papa.

I'm putting this in a photo challenge this week at:

Your best shot

2010-07-14T17:52:00.000-07:00

This I think is by best sooc shot! I however, always favor pics of my kids. I think they are much more precious and beautiful than any flower. But... my kids rarely hold still long enough for this kind of detail! I was going for artistic here, when I usually go for memory saving. The theme is your best shot!

Little buddy's new face!

2010-07-14T17:45:00.000-07:00

He does this all the time to get us to laugh!! He is only 10.5 months old for crying out loud!!! I love this face. While his face is doing this he is breathing really hard in and out through his nose! Too cute. The theme at Paper Mama is "make me laugh" There are some pretty funny pictures over there!

Favorite toy

2010-07-08T14:49:00.000-07:00

Munchkin has loved her Mr. Potato head I found at Goodwill so much that I had to buy the Princess Potato to go along with it. She plays with them literally 3 times a day!! Good buy:)

Paper Mama Photo challenge

Grasshopper catcher

2010-07-07T17:25:00.000-07:00

Now that we have a pet frog, we have to feed him. Every couple nights we head outside and catch some crickets for Ribbit. Tonight Dad was finding a lot of grasshoppers, that were too big for the frog. Munchkin started collecting them in her bug catching jar. By the end of the evening she had over 14 grasshoppers in there. At first Dad would catch them and hand then to her. But, she soon figured out how to follow and catch the little guys all on her own.

The theme at in a Yellow House is black and white w/ selective color!

Water Front

2010-07-04T19:57:00.000-07:00

We went to the lake for a fun weekend trip. Little buddy loved the sand, he loved the water. He was a happy camper. I don't think he would have been so happy, if he knew the major diaper rash that happened as a consequence was waiting for him! He has been crying all day long! Ouch, but hey he had a great time on the beach.

Summer Fun

2010-06-29T09:30:00.000-07:00

The theme at Trendy Treehouse is Summer Fun. This is how we have been spending our summer evenings... catching bugs!

Fabric choices for bird skirt.

2010-06-23T18:33:00.000-07:00

Here are a few choices I came up with for your skirt!! Sorry for the poor pic quality they were from my phone:) I think you could pic any fabric for the tie material, I think the blue dots would be real cute.

#1--This could replace any of the pink in the other pictures

#3--Close up

#5--close up

Water

2010-06-22T15:22:00.000-07:00

Little Buddy loves water. Sprinkler, pool, sink, bath, puddle, water table, you name it he loves it. I sat him right down by the sprinkler and he just played and played. Even when he would get squirt in the face, he would just smile and go back in for some more. He defiantly wins all splash wars at our house.

The theme is WATER at the Yellow house go check it out!

Daddy's love

2010-06-22T15:05:00.000-07:00

Here is a fun photo. It shows just how much daddy's love their kids... Just look how happy Little Buddy looks to be with him!

Its a blog hop people!! Join in:

Sleeping little angel

2010-06-13T18:50:00.000-07:00

The theme this time is sleepy! Getting a 3 year old to take a nap seems impossible these days. One day she was so exhausted that she actually fell asleep during nap time! I went in to check on her and saw my precious little girl laying so sweetly. I ran to get my camera. I love her porcelain skin and her little hand up by her face. I also love the sweat ring around her head. Poor thing she must be hot!
Come join the fun

First day of swimming class

2010-06-13T18:01:00.000-07:00

The theme is school. This is about as close to school as we can get! Munchkin started swimming lessons a week ago. This is a picture from her first class. She loved it and wanted to go back everyday. She did not like getting her face wet AT ALL. Well see how this all works out! I just thought this picture was cute of her on the side of the pool, waiting her turn so patiently.

Follow this link and put up your own "School" image.

Fishing with Papa

2010-06-10T11:28:00.000-07:00

The theme is summer @ The Yellow House. Is there a better way to spend a summer day? Munchkin and her Papa fishing off the dock. This was her second time fishing. She really liked to work the reel. She got pretty good by the end of the day.

Go to the blog and link up a summer photo!

Little Buddy is handsome!!

2010-06-08T13:06:00.000-07:00

This is my favorite picture from his 9 month photo shoot!! Oh I love the expression on his face, he sweet little teeth, the bright blue eyes. He is just so precious to me!! There wasn't a theme this week so I picked my favorite picture of May!

Play!

2010-06-07T05:21:00.001-07:00

At Iheartfaces this week, the theme is PLAY. My entry is one of my favorite all time pictures I have taken. Munchkin is playing in our homemade ball pit! Go see other faces...playing!

In the sun!

2010-06-06T19:55:00.000-07:00

This was taken during my first family photo shoot, a few weeks ago. It was so tricky to get these three little girls to look at the camera all at one time, to all hold still, and to all smile. This was one of the lucky shots. I love the sunlight in the photo.
The theme is in the Sun at:

The headless polar bear!!

2010-06-05T10:54:00.000-07:00

Weird is the name of the challenge, weird is exactly the word I thought of when I took this picture. I didn't edit this picture, it is just the way the water magnifies and distorts images to make the body look closer than the head. Pretty crazy!

Our zoo had a great polar bear exhibit. The two bears are always up by the glass showing off. Its is our favorite place to see at the zoo. The indoor viewing area with AC helps too! When you get those 100* days with 90-100% humidity a little AC goes a long way.

The theme is weird this week at:

Zelda

2010-06-01T13:42:00.000-07:00

Zelda the curious cat! My hubby got me these flowers one day when I was feeling down. They brightened my day and our home. I wasn't the only one who enjoyed them!

I entered another photo challenge, I love these, they help me take, edit, and create fun moments!

She is 3

2010-06-01T09:52:00.000-07:00

Yep Munchkin has passed the baby years, said good-bye to the toddler times and has moved on to being a big KID!! Am I old enough to have a 3 year old? WOW, it is weird to think that I have spent the last 3 years not working, not going to school, but being a full-time, stay at home, mother (I LOVE IT!)

Here is the birthday girl getting ready to blow out her 3 candles. She had a great birthday weekend.

The theme for this photo challenge on Paper mama is 3!!

This week!

2010-06-01T09:32:00.001-07:00

Over the weekend Munchkin had a birthday. We spent a lot of time blowing, catching, and popping bubbles. Here she is trying (most of the time unsuccessfully) to catch some of these magic bubbles!

Here is my photo for simplicity photo challenge "This Week"

a little boy and his wagon

2010-06-01T09:13:00.001-07:00

Nature vs Nurture?---I tend to lean more toward the nature side. It seems to me that boys will be boys.

Both of my children were playing with the same toy yesterday. The wagon. Munchkin wanted to sit in it and day dream! She would watch for birds or close her eyes and lay her head back. Little Buddy on the other hand, just wanted to check out the wagon. He checked the tires, the seats, the sturdiness, the handle, see what kind of sound it makes when you smack it, what it tastes like, etc, etc, etc. He explored it for about 45 min!!!

The photo challenge at in a yellow house is RED!!

SOOC Saturday

2010-05-22T09:17:00.000-07:00

Here is my pic of the week. Actually my husband took this pictures while I was cutting little buddy's hair. I love the focus and expression on his face!

The idea for this challenge is it has to be 100% unedited. Straight out of the camera! Just the way I like it.

Pink

2010-05-21T07:31:00.000-07:00

They are having a photo challenge! And since I love these things I decided to enter:) The theme this weekend is PINK. While I was at the zoo a couple weeks ago I snagged this picture. I LOVE these bushes. I'm from AZ and they never had bushes like these there. I love the South!!

Here is the site:

Nature

2010-05-19T13:48:00.000-07:00

I took this picture at the zoo the other day! Having a zoo membership sure has helped us take it slow when we are there. We have all the time in the world to enjoy all of His creations!
Here is my nature entry for :

Black and White photo challenge

2010-05-19T13:25:00.000-07:00

Here is my entry for the black and white photo challenge at

I love this photo because the black and white makes the pic look timeless. The little bit of red makes a very clear focus point for my pic. I took this pic right in my back yard on the spare of the moment! Munchkin was finally brave enough to hold her first ladybug. Now we look for them every afternoon!

Baby blues

2010-05-17T14:01:00.001-07:00

Well, I was the official picture taker for my friends' baby shower. They are both having little boys next month. I thought it was very appropriate that they both wore baby blue shirts for the occasion. Don't you just love the baby belly?

I am entering this into a photo challenge "blue" on the paper mama!

Week 20 - "Faces & Flowers" Photo Challenge

2010-05-17T08:06:00.000-07:00

This week, I had a photo planned to use. I thought it was the perfect "flower" photo...

But yesterday on our family walk, I captured this moment. She is just learning how to blow these dandelions. I love watching her surprise, when she opens her eyes and the seeds have all blown away. I love watching her explore nature. She picked every "flower" she could see to make a bouquet, she collected dried leaves in the bottom of the stroller, she found a ladybug, bumble bee, butterflies, and a whole arm of ants... She found the ants the HARD way! Poor thing has almost 10 ant bites on her feet. She is my little nature girl.

My little buddy

2010-05-10T10:29:00.001-07:00

This little guy has become such a mama's boy! I can't even enter the room without him wanting to be in my arms. His bright smile makes my day. I am so thankful I was blessed to be his mom.

I have seen many many sweet pictures Celebrating Moms on Iheartfaces.com Go check it out!

Smiles!!

2010-04-19T15:40:00.000-07:00
