2010 - A Day in the Life - Week 37

Sunday
Family day at the Idaho Air National Guard. 
I've never seen an inflatable climbing wall before. 
The 9yo didn't hesitate on climbing to the top...
in a skirt.
It was about 20 feet up. 

Monday
(fail)

Tuesday
A day at the park. 
Getting in my H2O.

Wednesday

It's a little blurry, but the look in Pumpkin's eye and her perky ears? 
It's better than the picture taken just before it with her ears all twitchy.

Thursday

My monthly board package. 
(Shh. Don't tell. It's still in the wrapper. Must get it done.)

Friday

Sweet Pea and I in the outdoor backseat of a 1931 something-or-other that was at the 
Show and Shine benefitting my niece. 
The car in focus and us out of focus is what happens when you hand your camera to a random car guy. 

(picture #2 - I'm including it because, well, my blog and I did miss Monday)

This is our head gymnastics coach's cars.  He races cars. 
McKenna used to go to their gym when she was SmartyPants' age and was good. 
He and his son showed up in support.
Love that he spray painted his car for her. 

Saturday

The bracelets we had made to sell for fundraising.  
They say "Team McKenna"
If you want one, let me know. 
1 for $3, 2 for $5.  100% profit goes to the family.

    Oh, and Monday was not a fail. You drove all the way home without killing your kids. Success!

You Capture - DOF

Image
I loved this challenge.  I've been striving to find "the" depth of field picture that just speaks to me.  Luckily I had lots of opportunity this past weekend to find the pictures I wanted to.  On Saturday I boarded a bus to California's Amador County wine country and visited 4 different wineries with a friend. These were so bright and beautiful and simple. The colors!! Perfection! I took about 20 pictures of this door trying to get this perspective.  I love this one.  This was another one that was may favorite of about 20.   I think it's the burst of orange.   I can't wait to see all the beautiful pictures everyone else is going to post over at Beth's.

You Capture - Best Shot

Image
I suppose after two weeks of getting assignments and pictures that I *really* liked, it was time for me to struggle.  I wasn't taking any pictures that just spoke  to me.  But then again, it took me a long time to start taking pictures that I really liked. But I do have a couple that I think were my best for the week.  Hey, I've got an idea! Let me share them with you! This was taken on a hike the two older girls and I took last week.   And then we had our first harvest. One lone strawberry.  There are many more growing.  We are trying to keep the birds from nibbling on them before we get a chance to pick them.  Check out what other's thought was their best shot over at Beth's.

You Capture - Faces

Image
Beth? Are you out there?  Because I loved this challenge.so.much.   I think I captured a lot of love here too.  Oh, how I love her sweet face! And check out the eyelashes!! I thought only boys had eyelashes like that! (Do you like the bedhead too?) He is one of my most favorite people!  This is my honey, my rock, my money-maker, the love of my life! (Yes, sappy. But after more than 15 years together I still like him!) This is the other "man" in my life.  This is Bear.   He is sweet and stubborn and very jealous when it comes to sharing me with T.   This is "my" girl (the middle child).  She is the only one who looks enough like me for it to be obvious that she's my kid. She is so sweet and full of generosity and love.  Did you see the letter she wrote me the other day? No?  Go here and see.   And last, but certainly not least.  Me.  A sweaty mess after running 5+ miles wearing my awesome Team In Training training T-shirt.  This is the face a happy runner.   (F
