Valentines Day!!

I love Valentine's Day!! It is my favorite Holiday! I just think that we don't celebrate relationships and love enough. Not just romantic love, but love for children, best friends, neighbors you couldn't live without, parents who support you, and siblings that make you laugh. I also like that a Valentine can be given to whoever you want. Everyone loves to get a Valentine and no one feels obligated or stressed to reciprocate. The people involved just enjoy the giving and receiving for what it is-an awesome reminder that you are loved. In honor of love I am going to keep my background Valentinesy the whole year!

Forcing bulbs in January (#2)

Every January I grow a "forced" bulb. These bulbs have been kept cold the past few months so by January they think it's Spring and they will grow. I am always so tired of the cold by January that it makes me feel good to see something grow. These bulbs grow so fast you can see change every day. This year I did paperwhites. They smell good! I also like to grow Amaryllys & Hyacinth.

Kennin (he is 4) took this picture. Part of the reason there are not pictures of me is there is no one around to take them! So I took a deep breath and showed Kennin how to use the camera VERY carefully. He loved being photographer so I imagine many of my pictures will be taken by him!

31st B-day party!! (#1)

We played scum for my 31 b-day party and I dominated!! I was the "King" for every round except for the last two! Love that game and my gaming girls! (Jeny, Betsy, Stephanie, Talitha)!

Project 52!!

So a friend from work started doing "Project 52" and thought it would be fun to get a bunch of people doing it. The idea is you post one picture with you in it every week for a year. I loved this idea because I am very few of our pictures. It has been fun to think about the things I want to have pictures of. Thanks Rakelle for getting me started!
