6/365.

iPhone photos from the week.
1. On Monday we painted the nursery {from pink} to a khaki color. I love it.
2. I made a crib sheet for this baby boy. {With the help of my friend Brit.} It's perfect!
3. A preview of baby boy's room. On the left, Foosball men. Above the crib, vintage wooden tennis rackets. Still a few more things to come. {I'd like to thank pinterest for some great ideas.}
4. Kate started this thing called Singer's Company. It's the cutest thing ever! And she loves it, so that makes it even better. She sings and dances and at the end of the session there's a recital/performance.
5. Lucy is in love with Mimi and Papa's massage chair. if she's not around, i always know i can find her there. She reclines it, turns it on and sits there while it shakes her whole body. It's quite funny.
6. This week the weather has been great! Today was no exception. We've been out daily.
Riding bikes, riding the barbie jeep, playing outside and having fun!

P.S. 5 weeks til a sweet little newborn will be occupying the newly decorated nursery. We can't wait.

project 365 -- take two.

Ok, so my last project 365 wasn't quite completed. But i shall put that aside and start anew! Who's with me? I need to rejuvenate and pick up the camera more than once a month. So i'm hoping starting over with this project 365 will revive my energy and my creative juices. Now, it may not necessarily be an actual 'photo of the day', it may just be an old photo edited, an iphone/instagram photo, a Polaroid,who knows. Just bare with me and enjoy the ride.

Project 365 posting will start 01/01/2012.
But here is a pre-post...


(photo credit actually goes to my sweet husband, who when took the camera said "i'm no good at this." He lied. look how great this photo is. Thanks Daniel!)

About 2 weeks ago i celebrated my 27th birthday!
I had such a great day...
breakfast with my besties.
great gift from the mr.
bowling with the fam.
lunch at bj's.
home for an afternoon nap.
dinner at canyon gate.
cake (white choc raspberry - nothing bundt cake), gifts and more family at the in-laws.

I'm a lucky gal to say the least.
Thanks to all who made my day so special.

Taking a break.

Eat.

This sits right about the kids table.
I often tell kate to 'eat your...'
Today while she was eating some snacks she offered me some, i politely declined.
She kept forcing it into my face saying, 'eat your snackys mom, eat them, eat them!'
i finally took one to make her happy and pretended to eat it.
Then i snuck it back into the bag while she was turned away.
She immediately turned to me and exclaimed, 'hey, i saw you put it back in here!'

how does she have eyes in back of her head already?!

Fifty-three.

Resolutions.

I hope 2010 brings organization [see photo above]...

And:
more photos.
new crafts.
fun trips.
more cooking and learning.
a new entertainment center.
a healthy and happy three and one year old.
more and more love and laughter.
a desire to exercise.
disneyland.

Bread and Butter.

My bread and butter = all the good things in my life.
This day, i am still thankful.
I hope i can be thankful all the days of my life.

Thank you.

Not sure why i love this photo so much.
Maybe it's the simple but vibrant colors.
Maybe it's because only two of these posts are completely in focus and the rest are blurry.
And that reminds me of when i look at my husband [daniel] and all i see is me and him, and nothing else matters.
Maybe it's because it looks like it goes on forever. I like to think about forever..
Maybe it represents the two children we have now and the rest who are waiting to join our family, those we cannot quite see yet. (hum, don't think we'll be having that many kids)
Maybe it's just posts in the ground marking the parks' boundaries.

Do you like? Simple i know, but i like to make it a little more complex in my head.
How do you see it?
