Quarterly Top 5 #3 Link Up

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: quarterly top 5

 Here are my top eight… Okay, okay. I know I cheated. There are more then five photos here and they are not posted separately. Well if you can’t tell, I am a bit obsessed with putting pictures in words. See my header? Ha ha.  Hey, but I can cheat since I co-host with the lovely Amber from Amber’s Articles and Courtney from Click It Up A Notch.

In order- Dustyn going to school, Carsyn’s 16 month photo, Dustyn pushing Carsyn in the swing, Dustyn’s 3 1/2 year/back to school photo, Carsyn playing peekaboo, Dustyn and Carsyn holding hands, Dustyn finger face painting, Carsyn’s sweet smile.

By the way can you click here and vote for Dustyn’s face painting photo. He is #72. It is people’s choice this week at I Heart Faces. Thanks!

Now it is your turn! Show us your Top 5!

Here’s how it works:

  • Go through the photos you have taken of your kids or your furry kids.  Just choose photos taken from July 2011-September 2011.
  • Post your top 5 on your blog or flickr account on September 28th – October 5th
  • Link up with the linky either here @ Nap Time Momtog, Amber’s Articles, or Click it Up a Notch
  • Put our button on your post.  If the button is not there you will not be eligible to win one of these fabulous prizes. 

After Nine to Five Camera Necklace = $12
