Baby Girl is Growing Up

Today we did it. We went from crib to "toddler daybed". I am sure it is going to be an interesting night. One that has been coming for about a month now.. she managed to scale the crib for the first time a few weeks ago and threw open her bedroom door in a fit of giggles so excited to have outsmarted mom and dad. So here it is.. my baby is in (sniff) a big girl bed.

Foam Party!

Our towns annual community celebration was just last weekend. It was a busy weekend full of music, food, friends, and fun.  Friday night there was a "foam" party, we were unable to attend last years party, but decided this year we were going to make it for sure. So glad that we did. The kids had so much fun and it was a lot exciting for me to photograph. ;) Although my oldest did not want anything to do with his photo being taken at this event, and therefore did his best to hide from the camera. (*boo to kids thinking they are "too big"*).

 Let the fun begin!

 

Miss Scout having a great time, it was hard to keep track of her in all those bubbles!!

  And finally, Logan, and probably one of my favorite photos of the summer...

My Reflections of Something - Edit Me Week 12

 I love edit me challenges!!

 the original

 

My edit.

I played up the warmth of the photo and gave it a slight tint.I did consider cropping and straightening out the horizon, but after playing with a few different angles, I decided that I like the original slant the best.  I love the people in the background, and intimacy of the subjects.

 

Simple Rainbow Party

We had a great day! Everyone (especially Scout) loved all the colors

Happy 2nd Birthday to my Baby Girl

Well today is the day. My little girl (and youngest) is 2. It seems that just yesterday she came into our lives.

I Heart Faces

I haven't participated over at I Heart Faces in awhile. So I thought I would hop on over today to see what was going on.  It's an "unoffical" photo challenge week, and the subject is landscapes. YAY! I have some photos I had taken of a bridge, that I just love and now I have the opportunity to share :) Here is one of them:

Make sure you take the time to check out all the great info at I Heart Faces <3 (and of course their Photo Challenge Theme page. Hope everyone is having a great start to the week.  I am getting more and more excited every day for birthday season to begin here in a few days!! (if you are not familiar let me explain, 3 kids, 3 birthdays within a month, 2 of which are within a week) I am sure I will have plenty of photos to post!
