Project Rewind ~ Week 6

Hola, happy Monday! so who watched The Grammys last night? I was live tweeting for most of the show. If you don't follow me already I would love for you to do so here. I think Katy Perry was my favorite dress, and my least favorite was Adele. I absolutely love love Adele but dress was too frumpy and floral for my taste.

Hearing: Taylor Swift - Last Kiss
Feeling: Fluffy baby blankets
Tasting: My fruit punch flavored water
Seeing: Dora the Explorer and baby
Smelling: My grapefruit perfume

Since I'm not at home I don't have all of this weeks photos but oh well. I promise I took a photo every day!

Monday:

Chickadee Monday!  It was sunny out last Monday with lots of birds.
Today it is gray and snowing again.

Tuesday:

On Tuesday I went to the doctor for my knee. It is just a strained tendon, nothing too serious. I have a couple of games to play in tonight but we will have to see what my knee feels like.


Wednesday:

It was a rather lazy day 'cause of my hurt knee I couldn't really do much, I had a bit of photography fun though! Any kind of fruit + 7UP = cool stuff.

Thursday:

On Thursday the first baby goat of the season was born.
And there were a whole ton of birds by our birdfeeders.

Friday:

 It was really sunny out but jeez it was cold.

And I don't have Saturday or Sundays photos.

I would love for you to come back tomorrow for Inspired Tuesdays! I am co-hosting with Dawn from Dawns Disaster and Desirae from Sommerfugl Design and Not So Ugly Ducklings, I hope to see you tomorrow!

Project 52 ~ Week 5

Hello hello! This has to be a quickie cause I have a couple soccer games to go play in. But I had to share these photos before I left otherwise I would be posting it like 5 mins before midnight.

I shared this recipe for Oatmeal Chocolate Raisin cookies on Wednesday, go check it out here.

Monday

On Tuesday it was in the high 50 and low 60's and the stream was so high! We haven't seen it nearly this high in a long time. Almost the whole summer it wasn't even moving there was so little water.

The one time it had a lot of water in it was when we got a big flood it was about 5 or 6 wider in each direction and the current was super strong.

Tuesday

These, were so good. Triple Chocolate cookies, recipe coming soon!

Wednesday

If you visited on Thursday you saw a whole bunch of my macros with lots of textures. My secret to getting a clean background? I hold up paper behind whatever I am taking a picture of and bamm, clean background.

Thursday

I'm not sure what kind of naughty animal footprints these are, do you?

Friday

On Saturday I went out and took a whole bunch of pictures, the sun was out but it was freezing.

Saturday

We have a whiteboard in our dining room where everyone can write notes and my mom wrote this on Sunday and at first I didn't get but know I think its pretty funny. Do you get it?

Sunday

On Sunday the sun came out for a while and there were shadows all over the house.

Project Rewind ~ Week 4

I can actually say that this was posted on Monday, at least I can if I can finsih it in the next half hour, so here we go!

Last monday was so so cold, single digits and no digits. I had some candles to make things a little cozy.

Along with the freezing cold, there were some really strong winds. On Tuesday I went out to find a big glass door on the ground shattered.

You may have already seen this picture a time or two, but here it is again. On Wednesday we got more snow and it was so pretty outside!

Thursday was a rare day. Ronnie actually stayed still long enough for me to get a few pictures!

Here I am talking about this amazing apple cinnamon cake again. I mean wow, it was so good I made it two days in a row. Recipe here.

On Saturday the sun was shining into my room and looking really cool. And I somehow got the idea to take some pictures of my eye.

Yes another barn photo. On Sunday I was supposed to have ODP so we drove the long drive for it and realized when we got there that it had been cancelled. Oops... We went shopping and I finally got some ramekins for some mini chicken pot pies! This was taken right after it stopped snowing.

Whoo! Thats like record time for writing a post. I hope you come back tomorrow to see some textures...

Project 52 - Week 3

Hello friends! Happy Monday! I will most likely have 3 or 4 soccer games tonight, I am only signed up to be on 2 but I always seem to get recruited for a few other games, but I really don't mind. So lets rewind the week!

Me and Billie had some fun photoshoots this week! Fridays post was all about Billie, go check it out!

Whipped cream on some hot chocolate.. What could be better?

There was a lot of melting snow earlier this week but now I can't see anything melting because it is no degrees outside. Literally.

Sun flare and bokeh. Gorgeous right? I realize that the propane tank and house in the background really does not do the picture any favors but I simply do not have the skills in Photoshop to get them out of the picture.

So yes I have two pictures from Thursday but I couldn't decide which one to use so you get both.

This was taken right after Zumba ended. And it was as usual, tons of fun!

There was a very bright sunset with light but beautiful colors on Friday, I Took a ton of photos.

If you saw this weeks SHS post you already saw this photo. And you know that it was time for some slightly embarrassing taking pictures of strangers time.

Looking at the past week...

Hello hello! I am really excited to be participating in Project 52 this year. I am hoping that I can participate every week :) Here we go...

Some footprints in the snow on the 1st day of the year.

Footprints

Dancer should be having her babies very soon! She is very loud and whiny, yet she still loves to be cuddled.
I can't wait!

Dancer

Last year was the first time I hung Christmas lights up all around the house, then we never took them down so there are up year round now.

Christmas Lights

You may recall me sharing some pictures of this cutie a month or so ago. I babysat her again on Friday and took some very cute pictures of her! She was in a happy smiley mood :)

Babysitting

You may or may not have seen this picture for SHS a few days ago. This was my fabulous breakfast :)

Breakfast

Oh this was so gorgeous. On the way home from ODP soccer I had my dad stop so I could take some pictures. It was fabulous.
