A little detail today.



One tough cookie...

While sledding yesterday my little girl got hurt. We decided to let her sleep it off last night and see what it looked like in the morning. Well it was pretty swollen so I took her to urgent care and guess what? Her wrist is fractured. So we have to go to the doctor on Monday and have it casted. The funny thing is she's already picked out her cast color. She seemed pretty excited about that part. But was bummed when she got a free pass out of gym. She is her fathers child. I think if I got a free pass out of gym I would have done a one handed cartwheel lol. So here it is the only picture I took today...



Snow day

I have been asked by several people why I don't post a picture a day anymore. And well I really don't have an answer. Guess I just didn't think anyone would miss it if I didn't do it. Well apparently I was wrong. I take pictures everyday, I might as well sit down at the end of the day and choose one to share. So starting today I will again be posting a picture a day. And what better to start off with than some happy faces. Probably not the greatest image I got today. But it makes me smile.

Santa knows...

While cleaning today I found this little note. A few weeks ago my girls thought it would be fun to get a gift bag from my stash and put some of Isaac's toys that he hasn't played with in a while in there. And leave it under the tree when he fell asleep that night. I thought it was cute. They even put a gift tag on it. I never looked at the gift tag. I thought it was just a to and from kind of thing. Well I was wrong. Here is the note they left with his gift bag (I love the P.S.)

A beautiful family and sweet kisses

What a beautiful day for family portraits in the park. Ok so it was a little chilly, but that didn't stop us. And I'm so glad it didn't. I had a really hard time choosing what to share. Look at all the beautiful people in this picture. They were so fun to work with. They all did almost everything I asked without looking at me like I was crazy. And I say almost because when I suggested throwing leaves I only had one participant lol.

I love the personality that shows in this picture.

Isn't she lovely? Come on sing it with me. Isn't she won-der-ful.... just thank God that this is not a video post and you can't hear me singing ha ha. But seriosly could she be any prettier? Fingers crossed I get to shoot her senior pics when the time comes around (hint hint, nudge nudge).

Check out the eyes on him!! Would you believe he didn't even want to look when I offered to show him thie picture on the back of the camera?

And I can't leave out little miss. She was all about posing for me today. She was still stiking poses after I turned away for a few moments.

Mom and Dad, so sweet.

And I will leave you with my favorite shot of the day. Go ahead you can say it awwwwe.

Love or Snub 1st edition

The first of December. The first day of the last month of the year. And what a whirlwind of a month it is. All the excitement AND stress of the holidays. It's dark by 5pm. One day it's freezing, the next it feels like spring. It's the most bipolar month of the year. So the month of December gets a love and a snub! 

In camera black and whites: LOVE! When I'm bored (like when riding in the passenger seat in the truck) I pull out my camera and play. This time I was playing with the in camera black and white options. Love love love! 

In case you can't tell that bright light is the moon.

Star filters: LOVE!! They are cheap and make lights look all sparkly and better than they already do. And candles too.

Intentionally out of focus Christmas lights: Love. It makes for a great card background and other things.

Holiday family traditions: Love. I have made apple turkeys since kindergarten. Mine didn't look anything like this, but we are keeping the tradition alive.

Bowling with the kids: Big love. They all had such a good time. Even with the bumpers up on one of our lanes.

 Bowling AND black and whites lol of course I love this.

Kids that duck every time the camera comes out: SNUB!!! This drives me crazy. It makes me have to be sneaky. The worst part is they duck just 1 second before I push the button. Although in this shot it almost looks like they are praying HA.

Happy December and sparkly trees!!
