Day 12- 1.12.11

Day 11- 1.11.11

 

Finally! I have been waiting for over a month to get my double stroller in the mail and it finally arrived today! After about an hour and a half of trying to figure it out I finally got it put together! The stroller can be used 6 different ways there are a couple ways on the bow but I will be using it with a car seat for a while so that's how I set it up. I love it! It's absolutely what I needed and Jayden can't keep away form it!

Day 10- 1.10.11

 

My fur babies Hope and Holly. I have had Hope on the right for a little over a year now and Holly for 3 both of the dogs we got around Christmas and we thought long and hard about their names. Hope is cause we had a rough year and we wear hoping for a better year to come and she would bring that and Holly because we got her on Christmas eve and her birthday is the Marine Corp Birthday so shes a little holiday so we named her Holly. They are way more energetic then any other dogs I have ever owned and a handful to keep up with but I love my dogs and would never get rid of them! Ps those are their begging faces, I had to bribe them with treats to sit still for a picture. I think Holly (on the right) wins!

Day 9- 1.9.11

 

Awe little baby lips and eye lashes what more do I need to say! This is a picture of the little close up features of my baby boy Josiah! I just love those little pouty lips! He is just the most precious little sleeper and I am so thankful for both of my boys and I love them so much! They look so much alike and are so adorable! Right now I feel like I have the 2 best ages. Jayden plays with me and dances around sings, he is just hilarious and then Josiah cuddles with me and coos. I mean what more could you ask for!

Day 8- 1.8.11

 

This is probably one of my favorite pieces of jewelry I own! I got this necklace a s a Christmas present form my boys and I absolutely love it! It has a picture of them together, two charms with each of their names and birthday, a small circle with their initials, and 2 gems in each of their birthstones! I am now going to be offering these in my photography business and I'm sure many mothers will love to have one of these necklaces as much as I do!

Day 7- 1.7.11

 

I look at Jayden and can't even remember him being so little! It just flew by! He is 2 years and 6 months old today! It's just amazing to me how much he has grown and how much time has gone by. I look at little Josiah and know soon he will be just as big and I will be thinking the same thing. I truly love my kids they are such an amazing blessing to me and I would do anything for them. Here is a little show of their size difference. Jayden's shoes and diapers on the right and Josiah's on the left. It's amazing!

Day 6- 1.6.11

 

This morning my friend Grace dropped off her kids to play with Jayden while housing inspected her house since she just moved off of base. They are so cute and Amelia was just giving me some of the cutest smiles, she is always super sweet to me makes Jayden jealous lol. I ended up really sick for most of the day and until Friday morning but luckily it didn't last too long. And on the right is Jayden looking out the window at me as I leave. He sure does know how to break my heart! So cute!

Day 5- 1.5.11

 

Today was a long day! So Josiah was suppose to have a 2 month check up today and well we were 5 minutes late so they told us we had to reschedule aaahhh seriously I have two kids its hard to make it out on time! Well the dr wouldn't even look at his ear really after I told them it was having puss come out so he told me I had to take him to Urgent Care. We get to Urgent care and they tell me since there is puss coming out that I have to take him to the emergency room cause he is so young and they think he ruptured his ear drum. So we get to the emergency room and they were really fast luckily, well faster then normal anyways. But it turned out to be just a normal infection so for an appt. at 2 I didn't make it home until 9 that night, lovely long day lol. And yes that is his real eye color deep ocean blue so beautiful I hope they stay blue I love them!

Day 4- 1.4.11

 

One thing I love and another I hate. Ehh traffic in VA is ridiculous! I hate it can't stand it and wish I had a hover craft to get from one place to the other. This is what I had the pleasure of sitting in from Woodbridge tonight lucky me! At least the sky looked pretty cool, lol. And the other pick is wine mmm I love! And Long John Silvers! We ate this for dinner in honor of my Grandmother! When I use to go with her to church we would get it 8 out of 10 times after church she really loved it and so do I especially the little crunchy things you get at the bottom!

Day 3- 1.3.11

I got back to VA today from MO and haven't seen my little boy Jayden or my husband in 5 days! I missed them so much! So at the end of the day I went to take Jayden to bed and he threw a fit screaming and crying (picture on the left) Then I took out my camera and he said "Day cheeeze" and gave a huge smile not even 5 seconds after his fit lol. Justin taught him this while I was gone I have never been a say cheese photographer but maybe I should cause now he smiles for me but never did before lol.

Day 2- 1.2.11

My mother took me shopping at Kohl's today. While we were there we found this elf hat, type beanie thing it. It was funny and I don't know if this is the look now but it won't go down any lower. We were laughing it just looks awkward and a little geeky lol.

Day 1- 1.1.11

Today I spent the entire day and night with my adorable niece Ella. We went outside in the bitter Missouri weather to take some pictures of her and even though it was cold she battled it and fell on ice but still kept going! Even after I told her she should sit in the car so I could take my brother in law Tyson's Senior pictures she wanted to be out there! She was having so much fun and this picture says it all to me!

What is Project 365?

Project 365 is a photography project where you will take a picture a day for one year. I have decided to go after this and hopefully make it every day! The goal is I am going to use natural, not posed pictures as much as I can and every picture will have a feeling or some type of emotion or story behind it, I will not take a picture just to have one for that day. Everyday you feel some type of emotion whether it is anger, happiness, or grief there is some type of feeling that you feel I am going to try to capture these everyday. I will tell you about the picture I took as well with a small description. I am also going to try and photograph the beauty of nature in this as well not just people. I am going to be stepping out of my box to try and learn as much as I can and have as many memories as possible to look back at so there might be more then one picture a day just because well its so hard to choose sometimes and for a whole story about my day I might need more then one photo to explain it. Wish me good luck! 365 is a long adventure!
