Memories, Dreams and Reflections | 2015

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: memories dreams and reflections

I have been doing a memories, dreams and reflections post each year since 2010. It is my favorite thing to do at the end of each year. You can see all the past years here. I love looking through my photos from the year and picking out my favorites for each theme.

Me!

I didn’t take this photo but I love it. You may see a few photos from our family shoot with Whitney Norko.

I Love You

I love my three sons so much! I was definitely meant to be a boy mom. Prestyn is so chunky compared to my two skinny minis. They both eat all day long and still so skinny.

Still Laughing…

Dustyn makes the best scared faces anything he sees a shark. lol.

Snow from January 27, 2015.

I Was Inspired…

I was inspired by the movie Big Hero 6 to make these Baymax Cookie Balls.

Spring Fever

Spring flowers are my favorite!

Travel or Vacation
Vacation

We just got back from our vacation last week. We went to Sea World and Busch Gardens in Florida. I took my DSLR but I ended up using my phone the whole time. It was just easier.

Summer Days

A Day In My Life

Prestyn loves to be held all day long, so he gets worn in a baby carrier a lot.

All Smiles

Prestyn giving me huge smiles with his new Elephant toy he got for Christmas.

Autumn Harvest

Love taken photos of changing leaves in the fall. The bokeh at sunset is always so gorgeous.

My favorite photo from our shoot with Whitney.

Celebrate!

I had another successful VBAC, definitely a reason to Celebrate.

Let’s Do It Again…Do-Again

We went whale watching and I really want to go again. It was so much fun.

I Miss You
Miss

I lost three people close to me this year. My granddaddy James, where Prestyn gets his middle name , my grandma Cokie (pictured above), and my Aunt Joanne. I miss them all so much and only wish I had more photos of them. We also had to say goodbye to our dog Dudley. 2015 was a rough year for my family.

Beautiful

A beautiful sunset in our little town.

Dress Up
Minecraft-Costumes

Dustyn dressed up as an Enderman, and Carsyn was Steve riding on a pig, both are from Minecraft.

Macro
2015-10-21_0002

Love this shot of the mushrooms. Not technically macro I guess. I already know what may be my macro next year though. I took amazing photos of snowflakes yesterday with my phone and new macro lens.

Holidays
joy

My three boys on Christmas morning.

My Favorite
First-Day-of-School-2015

The boys on their first day of school. Still one of my favorites.

Don’t Ever Change
bwDSC_5969

Dustyn is the best big brother to Carsyn and Prestyn. He always watches out for them and I hope that never changes.

Just Because…So There! 
Just-Because

Just because he is so cute. Carsyn really is such a happy guy most of the time. As long as all of his basic needs are met he goes with the flow and has a great time. The only time he is not happy is in the car. Not sure what it is, but he has never really liked it.

Hopes and Dreams
DSC_6648

I hope that Prestyn will grow and develop well this next year. We had a scare the first week of his life and I just hope that it doesn’t affect him in the future.

21|365 Trying on glasses. She loved these ones. He 21|365 Trying on glasses. She loved these ones. Hers should arrive in a week or two. 

We saw a third eye doctor. We are going to try glasses for two months and also try to prevent her from closing or covering her left eye. Along with having her focus on something brought to her nose throughout the day. Then recheck. She did mention alternate patching. Even though they see it in both eyes it is more prominent in her left eye. If neither one is helping then we will do surgery.

20|365 Annelyn did amazing at the allergist today. 20|365 Annelyn did amazing at the allergist today. I felt so bad when they were poking her back. I shared a photo in my stories of her back. They tested for dairy, eggs, green beans and pork. She previously had a reaction to green beans and bacon so they wanted to check that. The dairy and egg still had a reaction, but the doctor feels it is small enough that we can start trying eggs and dairy in small portions. Her egg reaction is a little less than dairy so we are going to try that first. 

I let her pick out a toy and she picked this baby yoda.

14|365 Sweet girl. Little update we are going for 14|365 Sweet girl. Little update we are going for a 3rd opinion next week at an office that offers vision therapy. I am going to see if they think therapy and/or glasses would help. I’m hoping that it will be an option since she is able to control it when we get her to focus. We will see. 

Thanks for all the advice and sharing your experiences. I know every child and diagnosis is different but it is nice to hear what others have done.
