Even though this little boy can make me upset, he sure makes me happy. He is such and awesome big brother. He loves sharing with Carsyn. He also loves to do  stuff with Carsyn. He never wants to do anything with out him. It is so sweet. Well after I took Carsyn’s 14 month photos, Dustyn said he wanted to get in the bucket. You notice I said after. That is because he shared and let Carsyn go first. So I let him. Then he said, “Take my picture Mommy.” Proceeding to give me this smile. Isn’t it the cutest ever. I love him!!


{Hover over to see the SOOC}

First I opened it and cropped it. Then I used my Simple and Fast action. Then I warmed it up using Pioneer Woman’s Warmer action. Then I used Willette’s Beach Blanket Bingo action and her B&W Copy action. I really love the way it turned out.

Photography love... Sweet Shot Day Photobucket Photobucket

By the way I wanted to Share that my Project 365 was Featured on Through a Photographers Eyes and added to her list of link-ups.

    he is such a cutie and how sweet. I really love the crop. When you crop do you use any restrictions (like 11X15, 8X10) or do you just go for it. If so, have you had difficulty printing them? I am trying to decide if I should process the photos, then crop it for my blog, save a separate copy to crop for any future print size. However, that is a lot of work.

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.
Sweet pea. Sweet pea.

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.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. 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.

I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendro I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendron white wizard when I first got it, I also didn’t give it enough sunlight. 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.
