Day 33 & 34 - Late Father's Day

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I had a sort of anti-computer day. It was nice!! haha Anyway - sorry I didn't post a photo.

Today we had a combined family gathering in the park. By combined I mean Josh's and mine. It was really fun! With all our schedules this was the first Sunday we were all in town and could get together to celebrate our dads.

Ok so on our last picnic in the park (Mother's Day) I TOTALLY failed at my attempt of taking pictures of my nephews on the swing. They were BAD!  Well, I'm proud to say that apparently I've improved in the last month and this time I did not fail! That shows progress, which is all I can ask for. OK - so here are my non-horrible swing pics!

And I really loved this one I took of Tami and her dad (my FIL). It's not artsy or anything, I just thought it was super cute.

Tami, you look like you're 21 in this picture! :)

Well Les, hope you and your baby boy are doing well. Can't wait to see some amazing newborn photos!!! :) xoxo

Day 33 - The Movie Show

***Announcement!*** Leslie had her baby boy today so while she won't be posting, I'll keep taking pictures and talking to her like she's here. CONGRATS LES!!! I LOVE YOU and your little man is gorgeous. Can't wait to meet him!

Can you guess what movie Josh and I and my family went to see tonight??

It was GREAT!! We went all the way out to Thanksgiving Point's movie theater because they assign seats so you don't have to go early and wait in line! It was WORTH the little drive out there!!! So awesome to show up ten minutes before a brand new movie!!

Anyway - I digress. I love Thanksgiving Point's theater because of it's old timey exterior. I brought my camera to snap a few shots after the movie. The light was really warm and pretty. But my family was waiting for us to go to dinner so I was really rushed. I don't think I really captured the angle I wanted but I guess they are alright.

Check out that blue sky!! I swear I didn't enhance it. That's what it came out of my camera like!! It was a gorgeous night.

Well, enjoy that baby! I really wish you didn't live so far away so I could come hold him tonight!!

Day 32 - Neighborhood Collage

Felt like doing a collage today. Took a walk around my neighborhood not knowing what I'd find. It was fun.


50mm & PW Fresh & Colorful Action on all of them

If you want to see each photo REALLY close, I also uploaded a ginormous version of the collage here.

Day 31 - I Cooked!

I cooked a yummy dinner tonight. So yummy I thought it deserved a photo. Random, I know.


f/2.8, 1/30, ISO 200, 50mm

Do you like my failed attempt at twice baked potatoes? They were still delicious but red potatoes don't really work for twice baked potatoes! haha.

Any baby yet?? I keep thinkin' about you.

Day 30 - Girl in the Glass

I totally forgot to post yesterday!! OOPS!! Lost my head. Here's my reflection photo for Hope & Believe's challenge this week.


f/5.0, 1/15, ISO 200, PW Sharpen & Define

This is me. :)

Day 29 - Comically Boring

I'm a cheater today. It was a busy hectic day. So, this is a pic I took on Saturday. Its from my backyard. I thought our antenna on the roof with the peeking mountain and little puff of cloud was hilariously mundane.


f/20.0, 1/60, ISO 100, 50mm, PW Soft & Faded

But, hey its reality!

Day 28 - Neighbor's Flowers

My neighbors flowers along our shared fence in the front yard just started to bloom. They are gorgeous. I mean, they are pink! You know I love them.

Hurry up and have that baby already!! :)
