Friday Fun

Filed Under: Family, Photography

I can not believe it is Friday already. Dustyn has been doing so good at VBS. The first three days he cried for about 5 minutes and then was fine the rest of the time. Well yesterday when I dropped him off he didn’t cry at all. I was soooo proud of him. Today is his last day and they are having a little commencement service tonight. That should be exciting.

Dusytn playing in his pool. What is new? I love how the water is in focus and Dustyn is a little out of focus.

We had to add some more water….

Somebody splashes all the water out.

Carsyn’s late 13 Month photos. Look for a review & giveaway on these soon!

This was on our way home on Sunday. The sun looked so neat. This is pretty much SOOC I just bumped up the contrast a little bit.

Skywatch Friday

Here are a couple of my favorite photos from Hunter’s shoot that I have edited so far. I still have A TON to edit.

I know I shared this one on Sunday, but I wanted to share it today for Crazy Days of Summer: Yellow, for My Favorite Photo of the week and Flowers on Saturday.

Dudley’s paw for Macro Friday.

How do you all like the my new design? I THINK I am finally happy with it.

    These are cute, Sarah! I'm sorry to hear about Carsyn. I know it's hard, but he really is a blessing to you and your family. We're still trying to figure out what's going on with Liam, so I know about the struggles you've been faced with. But, at least you have answers! It looks like you had a great week for Project 365 #25. I love the new layout, too! I'm thinking about a blog makeover myself! Take care, sweets. How did you create your new watermark (the one with the trees)? Adorable!
    • NapTime MomTog says

    The water droplet shots are awesome. Dustyn and Carsyn are cute as ever. And the cool effect on the yellow flower? Love it! I remember seeing the trick over at Ashley Sisk's place, but I forgot to bookmark it so I could give it a try when I have time. :( I'm so glad that you joined Alicia and I for the Crazy Days of Summer Photo Challenge again this week. I love coming here to see what you've come up with and I'm super stoked to see what you'll do with next week's theme: LIGHT. It should be exciting! Have a great day! :)

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.

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).

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.

So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.
