Day 31.. big boy Iz.

Here is my youngest, Israel. He saw me with the camera and knew just what to do. He just looks so much older the way he is sitting there posing. =)

Day 30...Window Art

I love how this came out. The first one is my 3 year old son (Atreyu) and the second one is my 1 year old(Israel). I had the dryer running to fog up the windows lol and then I colorized it.

Day 28..Goofy Trey and our lone apple

I posted 2 today, cause the first one just cracks me up. He actually was is getting right into the posing thin! lol He was using Mr.Potato heads' glasses.. and the second one is our one lone apple on one of our apple trees. It's hanging in there so I took notice =)

Day 27... My lil' sweety

This was actually taken a couple days back, but I just love it. He was singing in the car and when I got the camera turned on and aimed at him, he just gave me this sweet look.

Day 26... Random mailbox

I drove around a bit to see if I could get an idea for the picture of the day. I was just about to give up when I drove by this. I hope the owners didn't mind lol.

Day 25....local love lol

Statue of Hostility

This statue has caused alot of grief in it's town. For an unwanted piece of art, it had a hefty price tag. I for one, appreciate it though. It's interesting enough and turns it's head every time the wind blows.

Day 24... Gotta have reminders

Remember This

My husband and I haven't been getting along today, so I posted myself a little reminder. If I remember these kind of moments when things seem bad, it may not be so rough. This was a part of a letter he left me out of the blue a couple of days ago.

Day 23... Best kinda laundry

Atreyu and I made a deal. He posed for some pictures for me and I played his nursery rhyme video =) lol

Day 22.. Dusk

Dusk

This was taken out my back door. The massive icicles were starting to melt, and it was getting later in the day where the sun was starting to set. The cat trail just added a little presence I thought.

Day 21... Trey at play

I put up 2 photos today, because I really liked them both. This is Atreyu before we went outside to play. He was humoring me in between singing his nursery rhymes. Even though these photos didn't do his eyes justice, his eyes were shining today.

Day 20... Exploring Options

For the local photography club, the subject this month is self portrait. So here is one of the options I am working with. The carity isn't hot, but I love the style in this.

Day 19... Double the Trouble

Double Trouble

Here is Gracin and Atreyu. They can either drive each other mad or be the best team working together to make my hair turn grey in an hour lol. But I love them =)

Day 18... The Dress-up King

Eeyore!!

Here is typical Gracin. I went to my nephews house to borrow some movies, and thought I'd bring him back with me for a while and he wouldn't leave unless he was wearing this!! lol There was another time he came as spiderman. I don't think this little guy can shock me anymore, his attire says multiple personality loud and clear!! lol

Day 17... Too cool

Too Cool!

Israel was borrowing a pair of glasses from a friend, and decided he liked the look lol. He waddled right over to where I was taking pictures and plopped right down, ready to be captured.

Day 16... Bear Hugs

Bear Hugs

I love how this came out. He was giving the bear kisses, but this came out looking like a sweet embrace. I also wanted to try a plaid texture and I think this worked quite nicely. We used his brother's build a bear teddy from his birthday.

Day 15... High Spirits

High Spirits

My little man Atreyu being a great sport for Mommy. We took out Diego phonics books and sang some songs and that warmed him up to forgetting about the camera. He's very shy with attention, but takes some awesome pictures!

Day 14... Textures

Textures

I'm trying to explore different options with effects and broadening my abilities. So this is an experiment with texturizing a self portrait.

Day 13...Reflections

Reflections

Israel checking his conscience at the window after a particularly impish evening.

Day 12.... Hopeful

.... Hopeful....

I called this one Hopeful because at this point in the day, after loads and loads of sorting, cleaning and throwing out... I am ready for the day to come to an end... This expression on the little man's face says to me, it may actually happen lol.

Day 11... Highchair rides

Highchair rides

This was just too good to pass up. I took some nice shots today, but this one was the one I picked, because it's not that often you see them get along like this lol. Israel the youngest in Atreyu's lap and Neo (not pictured) was pushing them around. Definately a moment to capture.

Day 10..Eeny meeny minie moe

Couldn't really decide... The top one was going to be the post, but the second one had a certain feeling to it. This is a local cemetery in my town.

Day 9.. Relaxation

Relaxation

I had the day 9 picture in the back of my mind all day, thinking of different things I could do, and try to come up with something nice. The phone seemed to ring off the hook, the kids were very busy, and yet again the end of the day drew near. I took a couple different shots and a couple would of worked, but this one seemed very fitting after I got done some editing. Because, my kids are still awake... very busy... but this just seems to relax me a little. =)

Day 8... Small Groups

K, so I have been on the go today. I babysat, then went grocery shopping to rush out again to make it to a small group from my church. I had a blast, but got home late. So ending my day with small groups, I decided to take a picture of my Bible. =)

Day 7... Near and Dear

Near and Dear

Here is my stepson Neo. He is such a good sport for me sometimes. I named this one Near and Dear because the look I was going for was for him to be showing his respect. Whether it be because he's saying a silent prayer or because someone has passed.. He pulled it off quite well I think.. especially for a 7 year old. =)

Day 6... Dependance

Dependance



The eyes of your little one show unconditional love and screams total dependancy on you as a parent. There is nothing else like it in the world. Total trust is put in us, and our biggest fear is violating it.

Day 5...my obsession

My Obsession

I was running out of time to put the photo of the day in. Without any ideas I decided to capture one of my other loves lol..... coffee.

Day 4...Bible Time

Bible Time

This one was chosen because it shows a little of the every day routine in our house. Neo (my stepson) getting his bible story and learning the books before he lays down to sleep. Can't wait till his brothers are a little older to get involved in this family time.

Day 3... Self Portrait

Self Portrait

Not much to say with this one. Out with the old, in with the new... out with my curls and in with my new do. haha.

Day 2..... Embrace

Embrace



I love this photo for several reasons. My youngest son, Israel, is such a cuddle bug. This will be a great snapshot to pause at in the scrapbook, when he has outgrown the will to humor me with hugs back.

Day 1: New Years Day

My lil' homey =) lol

New Years Day. Atreyu Jude

The first pictures in the new year. His cousin was over, so we had a photo shoot with my new camera. They both finally got into it and these were 2 of my best shots.

Gracin Noah
