Photo A Day–April

For the month of April, I participated in Photo A Day on Instagram.  {Instagram is an iPhone App to share and edit pictures.} 

Each picture is taken the day of, and I actually kept up with it every day… here are my 30 pictures…

Day 1: Reflection. Helf looking at Helf.

Day 2: Color. James’ first dyed eggs.

Day 3: Mail.

Day 4: One of the ‘someones’ that makes me happy.

Day 5: Tiny.  Tiny curls on my baby’s head and a not so tiny baby giraffe.

Day 6: Lunch. Bunny shaped sandwiches with a friend!

Day 7: Shadow. A couple shadow snapshots of our morning.

Day 8: Inside my wallet.  James & Justin.

Day 9: Younger you.  Me and my Pina Koala bathing suit standing tall.

Day 10: Cold. I don’t have a cold picture… Just three handsome gentlemen.

Day 11: Where you ate breakfast.  In our almost complete new kitchen. :)

Day 12: Stairs. The pictures that my brother and sis in law painted for me. Love.

Day 13: Something you found. A special note from my mom.

Day 14: How you feel today.  Happy to have my dream yard of Tonka Trucks and sidewalk chalk.

Day 15: Sunset.  Snuggles at sunset.

Day 16: Flower.  Embarrassed to say there are no flowers on our property… Just one blossoming belly.

Day 17: Something you don’t like. Cleaning out the potty is so much grosser than changing diapers!  Nobody tells you this stuff!

Day 18: Hair. A head full of hair and a serious fear of haircuts equal an unfortunate combination.

Day 19: Orange.

Day 20: Something you drew.  Just leaving a beautiful wedding… Does blotting count?

Day 21: Bottle.  A case of Coors Light from our lovely friends.

Day 22: The last thing you bought.  My favorite, Ahi Tuna.

Day 23: Vegetable.  My couch potatoes {picture taken the day before}.

Day 24: Something you’re grateful for.  These “stomping dinosaurs.”

 

Day 25: Looking down.  A little Angry Birds before bed.

Day 26: Black & White.  A bittersweet goodbye to the Army.

Day 27: Somewhere you went.  Tootsies for a new pair of kicks.

Day 28: 1pm. Soaking up the Carolina sun.

Day 29: Circle.

Day 30: Something that makes you sad.

And just so I don’t end the month on a sad note… I snapped a picture of something I love: These curls.

Hope you enjoyed snapshots of my month.  Now I just have to decide if I’ll do it again for The Month of May!

Too Tough!

"Mommy, I too tough!”

He’ll repeat just about anything these days, but I think he stood strong behind this one.  {Note: he lost his tough little voice crying last week…}

Pickin’ Strawberries

I cannot believe it’s been a year since we first visited The Cottle Strawberry Farm!  And it just so happens this go-around, we had the same company as last year… Nothing like a trip down memory lane.

  This time, my baby was old enough to actually pick strawberries.

Although he is able to pick strawberries, he mostly preferred to play.

Callie was our little worker bee when it came to pickin’ strawberries.

Chloe, on the other hand… she had another goal in mind…

I call her the smart one.  Eat ‘em while they’re free.

James and Callie tasted here and there, too.

Wasn’t long before our buckets {and bellies} were full, and we hauled our strawberries off.

{It wouldn’t be a play date if James didn’t deadlift something.}

This year, he carried the bucket like a big boy… even though it hurt his hand.

Taking pictures of antsy kids… not easy!

Since The Grangers Girls live somewhat close to The Strawberry Farm, we went over to their house afterwards.

Just like last year.

James swung on the big boy swing for the very first time!

One day, I’ll get a picture of these three.

“Ca-yee and Chyo-yee,” thanks for pickin’ strawberries with us again!  We’re ready to go back for some more, if y’all are! :)

I have a feeling we might be following you girls for years to come.
