You Capture

I Should Be Folding Laundry is a blog that I have skipped over to a couple times. I am always interested in her "You Capture" series. This week it is Sunrise/Sunset. I would love to post a picture from today but it is rainy and dreary. However, I have the perfect photo for this theme. It was captured this past August right in our backyard. It was the most amazing sunset I have ever seen in my life. The rays were amazing! Well, here, see for yourself! These are completely unedited, SOOC. Click for a larger look.

Storytelling Saturday

During a trip to the park this past July, we spotted some geese getting ready to get into the pond. They were headed across the pond to a family that was throwing bread pieces to the geese. Alex thought this was very interesting and decided to walk with them. This picture makes me laugh. He looks like he is pay extra attention just in case one goose decides to go rogue and come at him!

I ♥ Faces Challenge - Blue

It's time for another I Heart Faces challenge. This week is the color blue.

This is "A" during a bike ride this summer. I love how his blue helmet compliments his blue eyes and shirt. As a baby the first thing people noticed about him were his eyes. "My what blue eyes you have" was a common phrase when he was a baby. He still has amazing eyes and I can thank his handsome dad for those baby blues.

I ♥ Faces Challenge - Completely Candid

This week at I ♥ Faces the photography challenge is Completely Candid. I sometimes forget that imploring my children to "smile" is kind of unnatural. While they have beautiful smiles, it's nice to catch them completely offguard and see a more natural side of them. This week I have chosen "A" playing with his sprinkler on a hot day. I'm not really sure what he was trying to achieve but it made a great photo-op for Momarazzi! Make sure you check out all the other wonderful entrants in this week's contest!

"A" loves to swim, however, after a very close call last year, too close actually, he was a little timid to get in the water this year. Floaties were not enough support for him so we tried the ring in addition to the floaties. Perfect! He was able to float by himself but still feel secure enough that he wasn't going to go under. As a child, I loved swimming and always hoped that my kids would be little waterbugs also. I definitely got my wish! Click photo to enlarge.
