National Night Out 2011

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: Wordless Wednesday

Make sure you check out Little Somethings today. I am guest posting and shared my NEWEST FREE Action Called Light & Warm. 

These were all taken with my iPhone. I didn’t feel like lugging around my big camera, but I kind of wish I would have brought it to take better photos. At least I had my trusty iPhone to capture the memories.



The Coast Guard Helicopter.


Doing a fake rescue. It was pretty neat.



The boys watching the helicopter.



Dustyn watching the dog below.



The police demonstrate what they do while training their dogs.



Really cool, old cars.



This was both of the boys first time riding a pony. Dusytn LOVED it. I think Carsyn did too, but he wasn’t as smiley as I thought he would be.



A cool church. I have a photo shoot on Sunday we will probably walk around and take photos at some cool buildings downtown.



Dustyn sitting on the church steps.


And finally a couple sunset photos.

You can see last year’s National Night Out here.

    Even with the iphone those are pretty good shots. I really like the ones with the classic cars. Those are my favs because the colors are really bright and stand out.

I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant r I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant room have come. Every time I step inside, I feel so happy to see my shelves filling up and my collections growing. 🙌🏼

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
