29. Magnolia Cherry Blossom Tree: I love these trees. I really want some in my yard. 30. Drive by shooting: Photography that is. 🙂 With some editing in Picnik. 31. RBD Auditorium: I’ve always thought this room would make for some really cool pics. I finally got around to taking some pics of it, because soon these seats will be ripped out and this will become a computer lab. I had a class in this room a few weeks ago and these seats are dreadfully uncomfortable. See more pics of the auditorium here. 1. Rain: It seems to rain here…

Strike a Pose This is one of my awesome student workers, Marci. She was sporting her BAZINGA shirt (Big Bang Theory) the other day and I just couldn’t resist having her strike a pose. Thanks, Marci! So cute! Footwear These are not my “go to” shoes, but I like them because I usually always wear black shoes. I get excited when I put together an outfit that I can wear these. Pretty comfortable too. Hobby Reading is a hobby I try to embrace. I’ve a pretty slow reader most of the time and my comprehension has never been great. As…

WARNING: Bathroom Story So my first silly story is about something that just happened to me here at work. This lady comes up to the Circulation desk and talks to my student worker. I noticed that she had a look of disgust as she was talking. She walks off and my student worker tells me that one of the women’s bathroom is disgusting and that she can’t even use 4 of the stalls. Luckily that bathroom has 8 stalls. I get up to go see what she’s talking about. I’m like “wow, wonder what I’ll find in here.” I’m visualizing…

This month I was happy about: getting a “Leading Performance (exceeds expectations)” on my 1st end of the year evaluation at my job. This month I was sad about: Rob being sick. Something I accomplished this month was: just surviving! I had 2.5 days of Rob in the hospital and 3.5 days of Rob being gone working an Emmaus Walk. Now for many of you, you’re thinking woop-de-do, but my work schedule and the kids’ school schedule don’t jive at all. I’m so thankful for my friends who helped me out during those days. Something new I did was: photograph…

As I said on my post for the Scavenger Hunt, I told you that I’m struggling. What I didn’t mention was that in this new year, I can’t get into groove for anything! I absolutely despise that. So this week you can see I didn’t get many pictures. And this week I’m not doing any better so far. 🙁 Maybe I just need to not worry with this project this year… 22. Lego House: This is the 2nd Lego House that Alex has made. This set makes 3 different houses. Pretty cool. 23. Shining Through: Trying to be positive 24.…

I am in such a rut right now photography-wise. Blah! Part of it is I’m rushing right here at the deadline to get pics done. I want to be creative, but these last few weeks have been too dang hectic. This week isn’t lookin’ much better. Smile This weekend I pulled out a box of some of my old miniature toys. I think this is a miniature from Strawberry Shortcake? I like her smile. I tried to get a pic of one of my boys smiling over the weekend, but they weren’t too cooperative with what I was trying to…

“Maybe now that I’m 14, I don’t get tired. -Alex (He says this after saying he’s got so much energy and can’t believe he’s not tired after staying up so late). If only this was true; that the older we get the more energy we have! Why doesn’t it work this way?

I am in shock that 14 years ago today was one of the biggest days of my life. They day I gave birth to my 1st child. The day that would forever change me in so many good ways. The day I would realize how much love I could have for 1 individual. I love being able to celebrate birthdays with the boys, but this year I get a little sick to my stomach realizing how with each year he earns more responsibilities. Mainly, next year at this time he will be able to get a driving permit. Did I…

15. Twisted: Love the look of this twisted tree trunk 16. Hospital: I mentioned last week that Rob was in the hospital. 17. Day 2 in the Hospital: I showed up Tuesday thinking Rob would go home, but found out that with the fever he was running the night before he’d be there until Wednesday. 🙁 18. Bugs: I was outside with my camera. I can usually find something new and different in my backyard. I found this branch that is covered in some type of bug. I get itchy every time I look at it! Here you see this…

Sunset I’m so sad I was not able to capture a real sunset this past week. With our sunset occurring about 4:45, it makes it a bit of a challenge for me to take a pic of it. So I improvised by taking a picture from my front door and using the “Magic Sunset Action” from Coffee Shop Blog. Black & White Day in the Life Since I work the 2nd shift, the part of the day that I’m home is spent hanging out with Daisy. Last week, I went outside to see if I could capture her going after…

Ok, so Sunday evening (Jan.15) Rob and the kids and I watched National Treasure. Then, after putting the kids to bed Rob and I started watching P.S. I Love You. Not to long into the movie, Rob started complaining of gas pain, so I gave him some medicine. A little later he said he was feeling nauseous. He was ok for a while. I ended up finishing up the movie without him. After I retired to bed, Rob raced to the toilet just in time before vomiting. This continued every 30 minutes for awhile. It got worse from there, but…

I’m much later posting this than I’d hope. Life happens! Today (well, last night) life included my husband getting sick to the point of dehydration and being admitted to our local hospital. I’m sitting the room with him now as he sleeps and has fluids pumped into his arm. I’m exhausted…going on about 4 hours of sleep in the last 24 hours. 🙁 8. Rain: It seems like we’ve had constant rain for the last few weeks. 9. Daisy: Here’s Daisy Girl standing at my bedroom door waiting to come in. 10. 1 Chronicles 4:10: My Grandmother gave me this.…

Stacked Up Stacks of jax While going through stuff this week I found some Jax and thought it would fun to try and stack them. Winter Wonderland Here in Alabama, our winter has hardly been winter. We finally, just this week, got temps below 50. I went outside to try and find something to symbolize winter. I found these dead looking buds and with the white sky in the background thought it turned out ‘cold looking’. 🙂 Sweet My hubby’s Gum Drops left over from Christmas. I’m not a fan especially because the green ones taste like toothpaste. Hole{s} Something…

This weeks theme was fresh start. A few of my entries this week correlate with the theme in one way or another. 1. New Desk Calendar: Before Christmas Target had a bunch of cute calendars in their $1 section. There’s just something about a fresh, clean, unwrinkled calendar that makes me feel good. 2. 2012 Chick-Fil-A Cow: Rob and Drew went to the Chick-Fil-A (Peach Bowl) and got all sorts of goodies. This CFA Cow was an exclusive that only people that went to the bowl game received. 3. New Tug-o-War Toy: Here Daisy’s playing tug-o-war with Drew. As you…

One Color Laundry I was actually almost done with laundry when I took this picture so, it was not even a full basket. Usually the bed is covered with clean clothes waiting to be folded. Empty Rob got this money clip when he graduated from Auburn. You can tell by looking it that it’s never been used, which means that it remains empty. One Dozen Rob bought these at Walgreens during an after Christmas sale. Soft Daisy’s coat is so soft, especially after it’s been brushed. Here she is protecting her bone as she sleeps. So sweet!

1. Me! In 2011, I was proud to finally get a job, that I love. Going from a temp employee to part of the full time staff is great. You already know everyone. You know how to do the job. It only gets better from here! 2. I Love You I love my boys and Daisy. I also love the background in this photo: Auburn, Toomer’s Oaks, and the tradition being illustrated here. 3. Still Laughing… I know I’ve got some funny pics, but for some reason, I can’t seem to remember what they are. So I chose this one…

I recently saw a really cool blog post called “Year in Review” and I loved the way she did it, so I’m totally copying her. (Blog now removed) 🙂 (This post took an eternity to write/gather. Hopefully everything makes sense and is in the right place 🙂 my favorite moments of 2011: ================ [January] Started off the year with a new addition, Daisy and a National Championship. AWESOME! National Championship Celebration Drew became a Teenager My Strawberry Shortcake-eating Drew Rob went on his Walk to Emmaus. ================ [February] Life starts getting quite busy again with all the boys’ activities back…

What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before? Photographed a wedding Did you keep your new years’ resolutions and will you make more for next year? I don’t think I really had any besides the same ones I always want to do. Did anyone close to you give birth? Uhhhhhhh….I don’t think so. (hope I didn’t forget anyone.) Did anyone close to you die? Yes, my Grandmother

With the new year quickly approaching, I have so many blog entries to get wrapped up from this year. I am making headway on them. 🙂 I also have some New Year’s post to get done. With all that I’ve also been thinking about the 365 {photography} project. I was unsuccessful in finishing it out this year. Although, each year I get farther and farther into the year, which is good. Maybe that’s the reason I can’t give up on it. I’m curious if y’all plan to do another year of 365, well actually 2012 will be 366?? I did…

Well, I’m not, but Rob and Drew are. Drew had been begging to go to the bowl game and after Rob and I discussed it we decided to let that be one of his gifts. It’s in Atlanta, so they can just go up for the day and come back. It’s a quality bowl game with lots of activities before the game. When Teenager opened it, he jumped in Rob’s arms. It totally made his Christmas! Here’s the tickets I displayed up on our Auburn Tree downstairs.
