A Map and a Goal!!

 So I was reading this Sunday Sound Out on Because I Said So and one of the questions is about the map at the bottom of her page and the visitors she gets. Her blog led me to this post on Dad By Trade about an obsession with the tracker. I have to thank Dawn for the link, Que is hilarious!

So anyway with the tracker that I have been using I have over 800 visits to this blog, well it makes me wonder where you all are coming from! So I have decided to check it out! LOL I am also setting a goal of at least 1 visitor from each of the 50 states!



This is my map to start, I'll post an updated map once a week. Wish me luck!!

And They Are Back!!!

It is finally back to school time! They were more than excited to go too!



I really can't believe that Stacey is a 1st grader already! She is getting to be so grown up.




My baby boy started KINDERGARTEN this year!



He was still very tired this morning, but I did manage to get a smile out of him!


I have to admit that it was strange having them both gone all day. I know that Maddie missed them. She and I did enjoy the 1 on 1 time though. :)

The countdown is ON!!!!!!!!!

MySpace-Countdowns

It is now time to cram in all the fun we can! LOL We finally got the letter from school for Brandon's kindergarten teacher. Still waiting on Stacey's.

A Few Random Pictures.

Here are just a few random photos for your viewing pleasure!

Queen City Brewery Tour

Back in March I got to go with a group of photographers on a tour of some of the old local breweries.

Long Time, No Post. :(

So I have come to realize that is has been a VERY long time since I have posted anything, and I have decided to do something about it! I thought I would start simply by sharing some photos from the last few months.

Enjoy!
It is hard to believe how fast my baby girl is growing




Stacey is getting so big too.




Of course I can't forget my big boy who graduated preschool this year!

Day 20/365

Tonight as I was sitting at my desk I saw this bottle of nail polish, and decided to do my nails. I don't usually polish my nails simply because I don't have the patients to wait while they dry.

Day 19/365

I had a REALLY bad today and this shot just reflects my mood.

Day 17/365

This photo was taken for a challenge:
You are being challenged. Your challenge at this very moment is to pick up
your camera, set it to a shutter of 125, f/2.5, ISO 300. You may pick
the lens, but no flash. You can not take a picture of yourself. You
must take a picture of something that brings on an emtion ... any
emotion. You have exactly 1 hour to post your picture. Luck be a Lady ♥

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

I haven't posted on here in awhile, so I figured it was time for a new look to the blog. Maybe a fresh look would inspire me to blog more. I am attempting to do another Project 365, there is a button at the top to get to that blog.


Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on my photos and my new look!! :)

As much as I don't like the cold, I love seeing the snow, I just think it is so pretty.

Day 6/365

My oldest daughter got this house for her 1st birthday, but I think my youngest has gotten more use out of it! Her favorite part seems to be this radio. She just loves music.

Day 5/365

My Sister-In-Law found these really cute boxes to use as favor boxes for my oldest daughter's 6th birthday party back in October. This one was left over.
