SHS 6.15.13.

Hola! Yes I must be on a roll again 'cause this is my second post in 3 days. And I am overly excited to do SHS again this week after barely doing the past 5 weeks or so. It is one again in fact all cellphone pics but I still can't find my long lost camera so that is what I get to use. Actually my big sister is very generous and lets me use her DSLR a lot (that means when I sneak out the back porch and dart into the backyard to take pictures). So here we go!

Today (Saturday) was summer solstice in our little town and since I haven't been able to go for the past two years due to soccer tournaments I was SUPER excited. But I was you had been there Gigi! How could you leave me for a whole weekend to go to a regional worldwide soccer camp in Illinois? I will never forgive you. Unless you let me use your camera. Anyway I just went toally off topic. This is the huge lake in our little town that is so dark you can't see the bottom. Which is creepy.

Water

Laughing is happening about 97% of the time around here. My lil sis I think has enjoyed my company this weekend without the big sis. So here is her fake laughing. Basically I told her to laugh and don't move so I could actually get a picture that was somewhat unblurry. Same for this next photo.

Laughing

The lil sis loves posing for the tons of pictures I always want to take. I think. You was apparently dancing like someone with broken bones who was collapsing? Or something like that. Then she kept freaking out that people would see her and laugh.

Dance

Balloons totally scream summer? Right? No? Maybe?

Summer

Bed races are one of the best parts of the solstice. You have a team made out of 3 people and two people make the bed while one puts on a nightgown then the nightgown person jumps on the bed and they push her down the street where she has to eat a cookie and drink a cup of milk then you rush them back and its quite fun. Especially when the two people are going so fast they can't control the bed and almost smush people (that would be a awesome horrible mess!)

My attempt at SHS ~ 6.1.13.

First off, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS JUNE. That means the year is half over which is bonkers. Second, this is my worst SHS attempt ever, I probably shouldn't even bother but whatever 'cause I am. So welcome...and I hope you are prepared to see some pretty cool stuff (or not).

I want these leggings. I think. Its not like I would ever wear them in public unless it was halloween or I was sleep deprived. Actually I probably would if I was felling confident and invincible.

I DID IT. I gave in and tried a Doritos locos taco...and was disappointed. It wasn't that good. Do you like them? Have you tried them?

You should go visit Bonnie's blog because it is in my top 5 favorite blogs. That must mean she's awesome.

We are in "The Capitol" (cap-i-tul 'cause that is how Effie Trinket says it) for a soccer tournament and went shopping and it was funn.

SHS 5.25.13.

First off can I just say how good it feels to be back doing the hunt after 3 whole weeks? I know I don't need an excuse but I still have one. My excuse is: I have had soccer tournaments for the past 3 weeks and while I have attempted to get all the prompts I didn't. Actually I did last week I just never got around to editing them, or posting them or doing anything with them. Anyway I want to scream, and shout, and let it all out (if you know what song that is you get points). Picture time :)

Some of you know that the family went on a bit of a vacation earlier this month. Our first vacation in 5 whole years. And we already have another one planned for late July, we are going to Colorado! Anyway when we were on this mini vacation we went to Devil's Lake State Park. OH MY GORGEOUS AWESOMENESS IT WAS SO COOL. I actually misplaced my camera a few days before we left home and I haven't seen it since... SO that means I brought along the video camera that takes really bad pictures and proceeded to take like 300 bad pictures. But I might be able to share some of the semi good ones. P.S. That means I have had the pleasure of using my big sisters big pretty Canon camera :)

Vacation

At first after I made them I absolutely loved them and ate like 5 of them. And after that I couldn't bring myself to eat any? I felt like they were way way too sugary. But if you want you can see the recipe here

Food

First of all I took this picture with my cell phone so that means this is an AMAZING picture since it came out so well. Meet Lucy one of our new born baby goats :)

Sound

If this wall isn't full of textures I don't know what is. The other side of this wall is the garden that is full of veggies.

Texture

Anything means a chick silhouette, right? If that is true then I rock at guessing that sort of thing. I have no clue what chick this is but I know she/he made for a good model :) You can see some chick pictures from earlier this week here.

SHS 4.27.13.

Hello people and aliens and animals or whatever... Quickie post time, I have 3 soccer things tomorrow so I need sleep (and I just want to sleep :P)

One of my favorite toys is definitely my tripod. If I didn't have one this picture would have been even more out of focus!

Whenever the prompt is something like "anything" or "obvious" I always find it to be the most challenging. But this week since I took like 100 pictures of the same sunset I thought that this would be a good place to share one of the many pictures :)

Oh jeez... today was so much fun!! My big sister and I hung out with one of our oldest friends that we haven't hung out with since October 15th and 16th 2011 so I would definitely say we were due to hang out :) The biggest thing we have ever done together is start a time capsule which we have had together since 2007, so 6 whole years which is crazy. And since we haven't seen the box since 2011 (our friend had it) it was so awesome to look through everything and see how we have changed.

Like for example, a piece of paper from 2010 says my two favorite singers are Ke$ha and Justin Bieber... Huge difference there, some of my favorites now are Mumford and Sons and The Lumineers.

Yesterday I decided that I was going to go all hippie and so I put on my tie dye maxi skirt (I love it!) and drank smoothies (does drinking smoothies make me a hippie?)

I was jumping, twirling and walking in the road yesterday for self portraits... I would love for you to go check the rest of my self portraits out here :)

SHS 4.20.13.

Hello people! I have to say I am not really in the mood to write this kind of post. I would much rather be posting a super duper funny post on my comedy blog Ironic Princesse (thanks Jenna Marbles...), which if you do go over there and take a look, be prepared to meet a new side of me! Anyway, I actually do love doing SHS so I am, in fact writing this post. I hope you enjoy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Celebration around here right now is the fact that we had SUN today. It was kind of a foreign thing since we haven't had it in so long so I was outside most of the day having adventures with my sister and also has my big brother chase us through a field while he was holding a huge branch. Great fun.

Celebration

Unless we have soccer in the evening we tend to eat together as a family and last night it was pasta and chicken. While the pasta was sitting there I loved the look of the steam and took approximately 20 pictures of said pasta.

Family

You probably knew I was going to use the baby chicks for the prompt. I mean how could I not? They are in fact fuzzy and since the cats don't want to be in pictures, unfortunately (see sarcasm!) I had to take pictures of the fuzz balls.

Fuzzy

I am hopeful that I am providing you all with some pictures that you can enjoy. I hope so at least!

Provide

I really didn't want to put this photo in black and white since I actually found a patch of green grass. It was truly a miracle(actually not really) but I had to listen to the prompt...

Spring In Black and White

And hey, I actually enjoyed writing this post so it must be a successful one!

P.S. Do you all like it when I write all funny (or when I write like I actually think I'm funny?)?

SHS 4.13.13.

This got turned into a baby chicks edition when I realized I basically didn't have any of the prompts... But I think these all fit the prompts somehow, I hope. And I don't think anyone will mind. I mean, don't you all want to oooh and aaah over some adorable little baby chick pictures? I know I would!

Total, there are 22 adorable chicks.

A little Ameraucana :)

One big happy family!

This little black one is a Ameraucana/mystery mix. She will probably look like the little hen triplets I had :)

So there are a couple Ameraucanas, some barred rocks, some mixes, and a ton of rohde island reds! And then I am also getting 5 or so buff orpingtons (I have never had any so I am super duper excited!)!
