trails.

this weeks photochallenge is trails. this is my submission. I actually took it back in october. Lilly was walking in the Uinta National Forest. I like how little she is compared to the trees.

this is one I took this week while tubing....Sophie and Zach going down the tubing hill.

Dinner Time!

I seem to be having a hard time logging onto the new photo challenge forum, but I still enjoy doing the challenges so I am still going to post on my blog. This weeks challenge is dinner. I snapped a bunch of pictures of Lilly helping cook. But this one won out.

nothing beats a nice glass of wine, while cooking dinner, or eating dinner, or cleaning up dinner.

Here are my runners up:

Elements

This photochallenge was for elements. Earth, wind, water, fire.....

The obvious choice for me is snow....

So here is what our back patio looked like before we shoveled it....Nice huh?

I know all our friends and family in Texas are laughing at me....

Girls

Lilly loves to help me cook. When she "helps" it seems that the messes are spectacular and everything takes twice as long, if not longer. Sometimes I shoo her out of the kitchen, and then go to bed wrecked with guilt because I denied her a chance to learn and grow. Today was my son's first birthday, so I decided that Lilly and I would make him a cake. I also got to show her the best part about making cakes, which is licking the beaters. Lilly was so proud of her cake too and even went down for a nap without a fuss, since I promised her that as soon as she woke up we could decorate it. I think she might have enjoyed her brothers birthday as much as he did.also, sorry about the lack of shirt, she been going through the no shirt "phase" for about a year now. UGH!

BOYS

this weeks photochallenge is Boys. Luckily I have an adorable little boy that is about to turn one so I am a little photo crazy with him. here are my pictures.

photochallenge 27-movement

Woosh, the weekend has gone by, and no pictures of movement taken...here is one from the files, that I never liked that much since it was a bit blurry since Lilly was running. this was taken on my point in shoot camera, about 1 minute before I dropped it in the ocean, much the the annoyance of Husband. My bad.
