5/365/2017 - Finally!

Finally got to give my "other boy" his Christmas gifts and spend some time with him tonight.

166/365 ~ Father's Day 2014

They love him, can't you tell?

The Reservoir ~ 146/365

Took a trip to a semi-local park (it's about a 30 minute drive) to have a picnic. Well, we didn't find the "perfect spot" and ended up dragging our cooler about halfway around the reservoir before finally stopping to eat. But it was still a lot of fun. Too bad it's forbidden to play in the water though, cuz' it was a warm day!

Back Yard Camping ~ 145/365

After failing to reserve our spot on our favorite mountain, I decided to set up the tent for the kids in the back yard. Yohn wasn't sure about sleeping out there with us but the kiddos can be pretty convincing. It was a fun night that we all thoroughly enjoyed and I imagine will be remembered by two kids for years to come.

Kid Fest 2014 ~ 144/365

A little bit of friend time this Memorial Day Weekend spent at our city's annual Kidfest. I wondering how many more years they will want to attend this yearly event until they feel too big to do it anymore.

The kids had a blast in the sports section and fell in love with puppies of all kinds in the vendors section (adoptable puppies from the county). Two of the kids even won Hermit crabs! Not mine thankfully, we have enough pets right now.

It was a hot day, it was a fun day it was an exhausting day. Bring it on again next year!

Mother's Day ~ 131/365

No he's not taller than me, I'm bending down for her. But it won't be too much longer...

Easter Morning ~ 110/365

My cute kiddos Easter morning before church...

My Best Friend ~ 108/365

We went on an outing today with the kids (they had no school because it was Good Friday) and while they rode scooters and skates and generally ran around we set the timer on the camera and snapped a few pictures. I like this one the best.

Egg Hunt 107/365

The preschoolers where I work had their Easter Egg Hunt today. Sadly, those are the only photos I took today. But I like this shot of the eggs on the grass!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! ~ 76/365

This picture makes me smile. We don't really celebrate St. Patty's except to wear green. The kids surprised me the this morning asking about the hats I bought from the dollar bin at Target a few years back. I had them in a storage container and was thankfully able to find them quickly, so a family picture was a must. Unfortunately I had to set the camera in a bush, use the timer and hope for the best. This photo is very edited! (and I'm standing on tip toes because I felt like I was hidden behind the hats)

Valentines in the Classroom ~ 45/365

Her and her Valentine's in the classroom... complete with a pajama party!

Valentine's Prep (part two) ~ 44/365

Valentine's Prep (part one) ~ 43/365

New Year's 2014 ~ 1/365

Happy New Year 2014!

This year's theme for our annual family photo was Duck Dynasty. And yes, my daughter had to bring her "gun" for the photo!
