Day 10 ~Architecture

One fun part of buying an old fixer upper is doing home improvements.
Currently we're redoing our pantry/laundry room area.

Day 9 ~Food

Day 8~ Art

Some may not see it as art, but this to me is perfection.

Day 7 ~Red

An air compressor, this thing is invaluable when it comes to doing home improvement projects. (This doesn't mean that I love the noises that come from it, I usually jump a bit when it turns on.)

Day 6~ Smiles

For a few weeks ago when we visited our good friend, A and her old man horse, Red. Natalie on a horse for the first time? Her smile was almost as big as Gwen's the first time she rode one of A's horses.

Day 5~ Hands

Day 4~ A Texture or Pattern

Paisleys are my favorite. I bought this tie for Will for Christmas, sure he would never wear it, but I loved it. Thankfully he does like it, and every time he wears it, it makes me happy. (And come on, it matches Natalie's hair and outfit perfectly today!)

Day 3~ Your Neighborhood

 I love that we live on a 4.6 acre plot of land. You can see our closest neighbor on this side.

I also love that our neighbors on the east side have horses. 

But mostly I just love the space.

Day 2- You

Normally I don't "love" this part of me, I hide it under clothes (what 35 year old woman doesn't?) 

But there is a baby growing in there, and those lines, my tiger stripes, I earned those by growing babies, 3 so far and working on the fourth. 

And I really get a kick out of my pregnant belly button.

Day 1- A Place Outside Your Home

 There was something else I wanted to post about today, but then when I took out the trash this morning I saw these tracks. And I was reminded how much I love seeing strange animal tracks on our dirt road.

Closer up. Cool looking tracks. Not exactly sure what made them.

14 Day Challenge

I love 30 day Photo challenges but darn it, I can not remember to do them. I've fallen off the picture taking wagon and need a swift kick in the backside to start up again. So... a 14 day challenge. I might be able to do this. 

For 14 days, show (and tell) what you love about:

1. A place outside your home
2. You
3. Your neighborhood
4. A texture or pattern
5. Hands
6. Smiles
7. Red
8. Art
9. Food
10. Architecture
11. A place inside your home
12. Color
13. Black and White
14: Someone

July 12 ~Texture~

I attempted to teach some friends how to crochet today.
My eldest showed everyone up

and crocheted a hat for Natalie in only a few hours.

July 11 ~Letter~

It won't be long before she can write her letters. 

I wish time would slow down just a little.

July 10 ~My Favorite Color~

I love the colors of my girls' eyes.

July 9 ~BIG~

Just when

did she get

so 

BIG? 

Where did 

my baby

go?

July 8 ~Lunch~

I don't always eat this well for lunch.

But this challenged me 

to make something tasty for myself and the girls.

Ham and swiss croissant pockets (Pillsbury croissants),

ceasar salad.

and apple cinnamon muffins (made from Pillsbury biscuits). 

July 7 ~Garden~

So far no tomatoes off of this plant

but it is happily growing larger every day.

July 6 ~Chair~

At her 15 month well child exam,

the only thing she liked was this chair.

She screams when the doctor comes in

she hates the nurses with a passion. 

But this chair was awesome.

July 5 ~On The Floor~

On the desert floor, 

the rain gathers

in puddles

to quench 

parched Earth.

July 4th ~fun~
