She was enjoying watching her "walking pony" walk across the windowsill. She even put a pillow below just in case he fell off because she's thoughtful like that. :)

Sitting on her new "big girl bed" looking at her sisters iPod totally obvious to me snapping away at her messy uneven braids.
family hike
in 365
Somedays I can't pick just one image and I may stop trying. A family hike is not always easy. At least one person complains almost the whole time but it's still worth it to me. I think helps my kids learn that they can do hard things and that is a VERY important lesson to learn.
it's the simple things

cul-de-sac life

When you live in a cul-de-sac, you most likely get too comfortable with walking in the middle of the road.
irrigation ditch...

I have to turn the microbiology side of my brain off when my kids play in here....and that memory of a "sleeping" deer floating by.

photobomber...

This guy never wants to be photographed....so when he jumped in front of my camera in an attempt to annoy me and keep me from getting my intended shot, I took full advantage.
dad and the girls...

I stole a moment between him and his girls who adore him on our evening hike...
neighborhood summer fun…
in 365
I love my neighborhood. It's more like a little community full of kids and involved parents. Everyone looks out for one another…AND we have lots of fun and do things like this. It's the annual summer movie night in the park.
trying to find alone time…

Today I wanted some peace and quiet so bad that upon returning from "free slurpee day" at 7-11, I let them all get out and go inside while I stayed behind and sipped on my Diet Coke in my locked car. It wasn't long before they all came out into the garage to get me out. So much for that idea I guess.

This gal is getting braver and braver at the pool…braver than she should be actually.
last morning to wake up in a crib…
in 365
On the morning of her fourth birthday, she woke up in a crib. She got a new bed for her birthday. I had to talk her into wanting a big girl bed. It's time but my heart ached watching this crib that all four of my babies slept in and put teeth marks on in being carried out of the house….the end of an era for me.

4th of July fun…
in 365
I have learned while doing this project that somedays it is really hard to choose one image. I shot very few images yesterday as I was just trying to enjoy the holiday and family time. I just wanted to be there and not try to capture it. I have a definite fav for the day. I am including that one….but then there is one with all four in the frame. That is hard to come by so I'm including that as well.
her and light…a good combo
