Sunday Sunsets

This picture was taken just before a new snow storm was rolling in a few days ago. Those thin clouds were the beginning of the front. I am enjoying this time in the season when the sun sets over "Table Mountain". I've always enjoyed watching the sun change it's rise and set with each new day. Soon it will slide over even farther to the left bringing warmer temps, longer days, green grass and the sights and sounds of children enjoying a long summers day.

If you play with fire.......

You're gonna get some great smoke shots.

I think this last one looks like a lady holding her arms across her chest, holding a baby perhaps. I should probably stop taking these pictures. I feel like I'm at a psychiatrists office, looking at the ink blobs and telling her what I see. I have done that on nearly 80% of these smoke shots I take. I always see something in them. Heeeeeelllllllppppp, I need counseling. Or a few hours out of the house. Bwaaaa haaaa haaaaaa.

Outtakes from 8/52

It's no wonder the middle boy couldn't keep a straight face for the picture I posted for 8/52. Check out these outtakes.... We are a family of goofballs, no doubt.

I always have the kids get their funny faces out of the way. There were more like this one, but let's NOT go there, okay.

Ah, I love my life.

8/52

This was taken at my mom's house this weekend. The boy on the right hand side is totally taking after his father. I would never be that goofy or silly. Seriously.

If you are just joining us here is the scoop:

So often as a mom we seem to always be behind the lens and rarely in front of it. Our children will look back at pictures when they are grown and we will hardly be in a single photo. If you would like to join in on this year long project I would really enjoy that. But more importantly your family will absolutely love it. Get yourself in the picture every week for 52 Weeks. Be in a picture with one or more or your children. If you are just joining now, feel free to start with #1. You can just finish up this time next year. We will be posting for 52 Weeks every Thursday. Glad you're here!

Link up below! Please link up each week =D

Playing hookie on the weekend

Last weekend I decided to take the oldest out of school and play hookie. Well, sort of. Lineman couldn't get home so we decided to go meet him up at my Mom's near Billings. I pulled our oldest son out of school on Thursday. He missed his Valentines Day party at school on Friday and then Monday was a holiday so that helped.

One day we took the kids along with Gramma's neighbor kids up to Billings to The Reef, an indoor water park. My Mom brought her camera and took these pics for us.

The two neighbor girls and my oldest ready to go across the ropes and lily pads.

Hollllllldddddd Onnnnnnnnn

I was sitting in the wave pool here with Little Man on my lap. He loves the water and so does the middle boy.

There is a GINORMOUS bucket that fills with water and then dumps it all out. Too fun.

I think they were going up to one of the slides here with a double inner tube.

Just playing some more.

Driving home with all the kids...... Quack quack quack.... what else can I say?

Monkey see.... Monkey do!

This was a fun shoot I did with some friends in the area. Gramma had made these completely adorable pajamas for the girls, talk about talent.

My fun SIL has two boys that are older than my own kids. When the first boy came she said he sucked half her brain out. Then the second kid came and took the other half of her brain. I TOTALLY can understand that! Seriously!

So, seeing as I have THREE boys I guess that leaves me with a serious deficit upstairs. I forget words, call my children by the wrong name, put cereal in the fridge and milk in the pantry... it goes on. Well, thank you Carrie for pointing out that I could not possibly have Sundays for the day for 52 Weeks. That is my sunset day. If I put the "don't cares" that voted into the "Thursday" votes that makes equal vote. I then am the tie breaker and so...

THURSDAY is the new day for 52 Weeks.

Please, no crying.... I can't handle it right now.

I'll try to have a better Mr. Linky up for Thursday and will repost a few guidelines as well. Right now, just work on...... GETTING IN THE PICTURE!

Sorry I haven't been by your blogs lately, I'll be getting back to that very shortly, promise =)

Love.....

Chicken in a Nest - Valentines Style

Nothing like a little Chicken in a Nest, Bulls-eye Egg, or whatever you like call it (what do you call it?). I made it for the boys and decided to give it a little Valentines Day flair. A heart cookie cutter and you are good to go.
