Project 365 (week 9)

What a whirl-wind of a week!! Yes, I traveled to a land, far, far away this past week but was so tied up in meetings that I wasn't able to explore with my camera like I had hoped for. But I did get to expereince much cooler weather and loved wearing my boots, scarfs and cardigans!!!

I was so excited to be reunited with Randall and the kids after my 4 day trip. We even broke tradition and decorated for Christmas!! Yep! Before Thanksgiving!! But since we'll be traveling for Christmas, we thought we'd enjoy our decor as long as possible! It was such a fun night as the kids were really into it; Christmas Music was playing, Cookies in the oven, we watched Elf and enjoyed Popcorn for dinner! Love those kindof family nights!

Day 57: Mexican Food in the Desert... and it tasted like home! 

Day 58: Grey Skies! We have had cooler weather and dark clouds! Feels like Fall! 

Day 59: Its beginning to look alot like Christmas... 

Day 60: Everywhere you go... 

Day 61: Love our new Rustic Star 

Day 62: Trial batch of homemade rolls for Turkey Day 

Day 63: Beauty in its Essence

Thank you for those who keep up and continue to check in with this Project 365. Excited for the holidays and all the memories I hope to capture!

Please leave comments, tips and helps as I appreciate your feedback!
Have a Blessed Week!

Project 365 (week 8)

Can I just say that I am Loving this cooler weather! Its almost as if my whole demeanor has changed over the last week since the weather has cooled off and we can spend time outside without sweating to death and getting dehydrated! (Ok, being a little dramatic on the last part) But as you will see from the pics this week, we have been outside A LOT!!! Praising Our Creator for His blessings this week!

 
 Day 50: Love this Boy So Much!

Day 51: A bucket of peanuts... Any guesses on where we treated ourselves this week? (remember, we are from Texas.. hint! hint!)

Day 52: Sweet Girl! Love those eyes! 

Day 53: Love this Girl So Much! Fashion is her Middle Name! 

Day 54: Healthy Apple Crisp Desert (baked cinnamon apples, light whipping cream spray, granola sprinkled on top)... So Tasty!  

Day 55: Tallest Building in the World... need I say more? 

Day 56: Like Father Like Son
This picture melts my heart. I love that Micah is so excited about playing catch with Randall! Randall is such a wonderful Daddy! 


Bonus #1: All ages and stages... sweet friends

 Bonus #2-3: I couldn't decide which pictures of Micah to use for the project this week. I played around with my sport mode on the camera and got some cool shots! Still learning, of course! By the way, no one else may have noticed, but Micah is wearing his lego shirt and orange shorts in all of his pictures. Different days (park and baseball)... but this boy loves that shirt! 

Thanks for stopping by! I'm traveling next week so anxious to take pictures from a land, far, far away! Please leave comments, tips and helps... always welcomed and appreciated!

Project 365 (week 7)

This week we went to Global Village, which is a multi-cultural event where over 40 countries are represented through shopping pavilions, entertainment and food. About half of the pictures I focused this week's project are from Global Village. And of course, more pics of the kiddos! Enjoy a peek at our last 7 days!

Day 43:  Looking at this face is seriously like looking at a miniature Randall!

Day 44: Miss Sassy and she Knows it! 

Day 45: A sky full of color 

Day 46: Spices, Olives and Dates, Oh My! 

Day 47: All Boy! (Micah's 1st sling shot)... tried to focus on the sling shot.. still working on how to take pics at this angle! :) 

Day 48: THE Swarma Randall has waited for for the last 3 years! 

Day 49: All walks of life... running together

This picture has extra special meaning to me as I had signed up for this 10K race, paid and started training for it 2 months ago. And then I got hit with being sick and now this broken rib. I honestly put myself through a lot of guilt and pressure for not being able to run in the race and was really frustrated about something I had NO control over. But I decided to attend the race and support a friend who had signed up with me to run in it and cheer her on. It was very healing for me to be there and God has taught me a lot about myself over the last 6 weeks of being sick/injured. All praise to Him!


BONUS: Pink, Pink and more Pink! I Love cute, little girls in P.J.s!

Thankfully the weather is starting to cool off here and I'm really hoping to play around with the camera and take some more outside/nature shots this next week. Thank you for keeping up with my project and please share your comments, ideas and critics for me to learn from. 
Until the next 7 days...
