Project 365 - Day 4 - May 28, 2014

Today, I came to a great realization...I have not had a bad day in a REALLY long time, and I mean LONG time. I don't know if that's good or bad because I've noticed that when things are really good for a while, it just means that things are going to get bad and you're going to need to remember those good times to push through it!..I hope and pray that the only reason I haven't had a bad day in a while is because I have a more positive attitude and choose to look at negative things that may be going on around me in a positive light rather than negatively!

Anyway, I had to get that little thought out.

After my gym workout this morning, I felt like today would be a great day to take the girls down to the river side to play in the water. That little activity, however, reminded me exactly why I very rarely take the girls to do something like that, by myself. There isn't enough of me to go around or to carry everything and everyone! (I managed it today though, and walking down hills no less!).

While we were playing in the water, we noticed a large gathering of butterflies in one particular spot next to the river. I'm pretty positive they were eating something that had died. Gross. But, they themselves are beautiful little creatures!

Project 365 - Day 3 - May 27, 2014

You're going to be seeing LOTS of pictures of my daughters over the course of this year because, believe it or not, I spend practically 24 hours a day with them!

Today was a hot, humid, sticky day and towards the middle of it, it started pouring. We live in a little bit older house which apparently can't hack a few minutes of rain because, the power went out....and it stayed out. for hours. despite the fact that I needed to be preparing and cooking a meal for some dinner guests we'd be having in an hour!

Well, the power didn't return for an hour, or two, or even three. We ended up ordering a pizza from Nick's Italian Kitchen (broccoli and chicken, YUM!)

Anyway, I love this photo. During the little power outage (and no rain, like I said, it only lasted a few minutes!) we decided to take the girls outside to play in our little sandbox turned kiddie pool. They loved it. They are TOTAL water babies. This is Vera and her little naked tootsies about to get in the water!

Project 365 - Day 2 - May 26, 2014

You may be wondering why I chose to post a picture of my two Siberian Huskies in their kennel...My reasoning is this: The only times they have to be in the kennel are when we are away from home (they tend to get into mischief if we leave them out, and thankfully they LOVE their kennel, so it works for all of us! lol) or at night when we're all in bed. Well, yesterday we were away from home!...We took a little trip to Staunton, VA with our new friend Jake (he's interning at the gym my husband manages) to go clothes shopping and bowling! It was fun :) We enjoyed some Chick-fil-A (and overindulged in some chocolate milkshakes) and just had an overall great day!....Meanwhile, these two cuties waited patiently for us to return home (don't worry, we weren't gone THAT long).

You may be wondering why one husky is wearing a tank top lol (and in the VA heat and humidity!) I promise we're not trying to give her a heat stroke or something!...She actually just had surgery last week to have a tumor removed and has to wear this "tank top" to keep the bandaging in place AND prevent our other husky from licking it (which she would NOT stop doing before the surgery).

Project 365 - Day 1 - May 25, 2014

I stumbled upon another photographer's blog when I was looking for information about skin tones etc. and she had posted about this thing called Project 365 where you post a photo (or photos) every single day which can sum up that particular day. Well, I decided that I'd like to try this little project, and what better day to start than a Sunday?!

Today was a great day (pretty much every Sunday is because it's the day my husband doesn't have to work at all, we get to go to church, we get to come home and relax as a family, and the weather on Sunday's always feels wonderful!!) I made some healthy Italian turkey & zucchini burgers for lunch and we watched 2 different redbox movies that we'd rented last night and didn't get to watch because we were to tired, lol. My husband played with the girls while I crocheted a newborn hat that I'm planning on using for one of my sessions coming up, and then we all went and played in the driveway for a little bit (which is what these pictures are about). I had to laugh because my (almost) 10 month old was the one sitting in the Cozy Coupe while my 2 1/2 year old was strapped to my husband's back in the baby carrier (should've been the other way around, right?!)

Family Vacation 5/15/14 - {Virginia Beach, VA}

My husband Ryan, daughters, and I were able to have a  fun time this past week because Ryan's parents came to visit us all the way from Washington state! We hadn't seen them in a year (this was the first time they met our 9 month old!) and so it was great for all of us!! They came on Monday and then on Thursday we took the 4 hour drive from our little town to Virginia Beach to be able to have a fun day of playing in the sand and water (although both of our daughters ended up hating the water because they were splashed in the face by the waves and decided that was the end of that! So, they ended up playing in the sand with their grandpa while my husband and I jumped through the waves for about an hour!)....Here are some photos of my beautiful in-laws as well as a few others of the family playing at the beach...

Karie's Senior Pictures - Lexington, VA -

April 14, 2014
Karie. What can I say about this girl?...Oh, I don't know, maybe that she's AWESOME! It was seriously so much fun working with her. She is so laid back, down to earth, and has a radiant smile! (She's totally patient too, I kept losing my lens cap and she and her mom didn't hesitate to help me look for it!...Btw in case you're wondering, I lost it for good. Ha.)
