Ten on Ten

This is pretty much our day in pictures. The day got off to an early start this time and straight out of the gate we were painting before breakfast. This is one photo an hour for ten consecutive hours on the tenth of March. Enjoy! And join in next time. See the link on the sidebar.

camera ready

About every other day Kyla asks me to come see what she has set up. "Mom, we are ready now...can you take a picture of this and put it on your blog?" Sure.

Yesterday, Chelsea and I pretended like I was a real photographer and had a photoshoot of her pregnant belly. My husband thinks this is totally weird but we thought it was totally fun. It's much easier to photograph someone who sits still. I think this one is my favorite.

P.S. Today is 10on10. I was going to try to do a green theme but I'm scrapping that since I don't think we'll be going outside too much today and there aren't very many green things in my house. We'll see what the day brings.

Dinner Date 2009

Dinner Date 2009- 2009 Tax Year that is.

Every March Tyler and Chelsea take us out to dinner in exchange for preparation of their taxes. It's become a fun tradition. This year my foodie brother-in-law took us to Quinn's on Capital Hill. It was a really fun time. The menu is not typical but the food is still really good. I did not manage to get a great picture of Casey's goat dinner (don't start gagging). He loved it-Casey would try anything. I had crispy chicken and grits. Delicious. The fun night didn't stop there we made our way to few more funky little spots and overall it was a great date. Thank you to Tyler and Chelsea.

We tried to recount our past dinner dates. I'm going to do my best to remember them here so we can keep record. 2005-Stanley and Seaforts 2006-Trader Vics 2007-Chinoise (pregnant with Heidi and had a terrible allergic reaction) 2008-Melrose.

P.S. I know this is NOT a flattering photo of myself but I thought it depicted how my husband handles my new camera....like he's the paparazzi. I'm saying "Wait, Stop!"

Anniversary!

Today is my one year blogging anniversary!

I must say I drug my feet for quite awhile on starting one. I just didn't understand it. I didn't see the point but NOW I do. It's something fun to do, a good way to keep memories, and a great way to share with friends and family.

I'm happy to be a blogger.

P.S. A year goes by really fast.

I'm big now.

Being a little sister is tough. Everyday now Heidi says, "I'm big now mom." or "I'm big enough." She is usually referring to something that Kyla gets to do that she doesn't. She cries at least one of the two days Kyla goes to preschool because she doesn't get to. Kyla started swimming lessons and that has been very upsetting to her. And then Kyla got to go to take a friend to Little Gym day with Taylor. Oh man! I knew when H found out about that she was going to be ticked. (I didn't tell either of them until it was almost time to go). On the way there as Heidi was crying, she said, "Mom, I'm big enough, I don't swallow my gum anymore!" (which isn't really true).  Don't feel too too bad for her. We went to open swim today before lessons so she could have a turn swimming and she gets to have her turn tomorrow at the Little Gym with Addision.

Project Life February

My Feburary Project Life pictures are chosen...it was hard. (See the button on the left sidebar). I'm too type A crazy for this I think. I'm not quite a scrapbooker so I can't figure out "layouts" and I'm not just a go with the flow type of person where I can just put whatever picture wherever. Anyways...here they are.

P.S. Project 365 I kind of miss you.

Old Friends

Last week we had dinner at Ross and Dorianne's house. The 3 of us go way back- jr. high (I teased Casey that he couldn't be in the picture because he didn't go back as far as the 3 of us- but actually he and Ross knew each other first, back when they were little kids). We get to hang out with the McGraths every once and a while and I'm so glad we do.

I knew Dorianne would love these awesome pictures of us with our bangs so I had to post them.

Kyla and Camdyn
