Bubbles & Flowers

Filed Under: Family, Photography

Today I am taking Dustyn to VBS { which he did pretty good yesterday, yay!} then watching my friends daughter. Then picking Dustyn up and taking them both to Carsyn’s doctor to get his AFO’s. Then I am dropping them off with my mom while I do Hunter’s 1st Birthday Photo Shoot. It will be tomorrow night before I can catch up with you all. Hope you have a great Tuesday!

On our way home on Sunday we stopped at my mother-in-laws house. She had bout the boys bubbles. We went out back and she blew them, while Dustyn popped them and I took pictures. I was holding Carsyn so I wasn’t able to take a ton. These were just some of my favorites.

Sweet Shot DayPhotobucket

I love the tiny bubbles in this photo.

I love the color in this photo.

and had to do a close up bubble photo.

These were from my Aunt Norma’s yard that I took while we were there for Father’s Day. I went a little Pixel Bender crazy. ha ha. It just looked so neat with the water drops.

Simplicity: Colorful

Touch Up Tuesday

{Hover Over To See SOOC}

I used Pixel Bender on all of these shots. If you want to find out more information on how to do this check out Rosie’s Blog.

Photography love...

By the way check out the new buttons below that Whitney from The Paleo Child made me to match my design. If you would like to grab a new button you can do it at the bottom of my page. 🙂

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶 It Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.
