I love summer! 

My poor sweet boy was sick with a double ear infection.... So heartbreaking to see him just laying on the couch.... I am happy to report though that after a few doses of medicine he is back to his normal happy energetic self!

I love the spring flowers and all the colors!

11 Months Old!

How can it be that my sweet tiny (and by tiny I mean 9lb 4oz) baby boy is going to be one! Just doesn't seem possible.  It's been quite a year... selling a house, new job, moving... No wonder it seems like it has flown by! I shall cherish this last month of my baby being a "baby"... As tiring at this stage of life can be, I know my boys are growing up so fast... Soon waking up to give Ben a bottle and snuggle him back to sleep are going to be a thing of the past.

Day 19&20

Day 18

Over this past weekend Grammie and PawPaw came over and they built Johnny a club house (with the help of Daddy and Aunt Marie)! I didn't think to take any picture of them building it... probably because I was inside watching two very excited boys that really wanted to go outside... It was finished right before bedtime so we let Johnny go out and see his brand new club house! He is thrilled to say the least.

Thank you to my wonderful family! He loves it! I am sitting here drinking my coffee in the peace of the early morning because I know soon I will  hear the pitter patter of feet which will turn into excited jumping up and down to go outside and play!

 Johnny is a proud new home owner!

Day 17- Time to get my body back!

So the reason for this photo is because I am making a fitness a priority in my life.  As a mom it so easy to put myself on the back burner and not take the time to care of myself, but I am breaking that cycle! It's time to get my body back!  So maybe if I am feeling brave in a few months I will post some before and after photos!  :-)

Days 11-16

Sorry it took  me so long to post! It was a very busy week!

Day 10

Today is my wonderful husbands birthday! I couldn't have asked for a better husband and father to our boys! I love this man more every day.

Bonus Photos! How could I not share these precious shots???

Day 8 & 9

 

Potty Training has begun in our house!

The boys love trains!

Day 6&7

My Boys.

I know what you are thinking... I have the most adorable little boys.  Well, yes I do have to agree with you :-)

Day 3, 4 & 5

Went to a Portland TrailBlazer game last night! So much fun! These were my favorite 3 shots from the game...

Day 2

A walk through the park...

Day 1

The start of a new adventure...  The camera and the person behind it...

...Kindness and Inspiration...

So today I received a random act of kindness in the mail from a sweet friend of mine... It totally made my day, and I want to reciprocate, so watch your mailboxes sometime in the near future you might just get a little token of my appreciation for you!

This brings me to the second part of my post, the inspiration.  I love and have a passion for photography, but since having kids that part of my life has sat on a back burner, just waiting till I have more time. Well, lets face it MORE time is just not going to magically appear at out of nowhere so I am going to make time!  So here is my challenge to myself-

One Photo a Day
