I rented some lenses, one of them a MACRO lens:-)  I LOVE it, but boy my rings are BEAT up!  I guess thats what almost 12 years of marriage gets you:-)  I’ll take it!

These rings are my boys names, on the other side their birthdates:-)  I LOVE these, I wear them everyday.  They remind me to pray always for them and be thankful always for the gifts that they are:-)

More practice with the macro:-)  This is my birthstone, my parents got it for me when I graduated Cal Poly.  I LOVE it!  I don’t wear a lot of jewelry but the little I do wear I wear everyday, it just feels like me:-)

THIS smile melts my heart EVERYTIME!

Someday…Someday THIS will be my view from my kitchen sink, and our living room, and the patio:-) Someday!

Nothing says “it’s been a good day” better than a bonfire and a SUPER dirty boy.  Yes he has freckles, but most of what you see here are NOT freckles:-)  I put them both right in the bath when we got home!

I have been promising to make the boys playdough FOREVER.  So today we did:-)  Daniel wanted peppermint scented and RED for him, BLUE for Holden:-)

I LOVE hanging with this guy.  He was my helper, my tester, my listener, and just in general my right hand man.  Love these days!

It was Grandpere’s birthday, this little one beat everyone to the punch by blowing out ALL the candles (usually we have one per grandchild:-))

 A Nest Egg, or Egg Nest I should say.  And it is NOT in the coop!  Rogue Chickens!

 I had to capture the moon and the trees, I saw it as I was driving home and needed to capture it:-)

 Too much fun!  These were supposed to be used on New Year’s but well it didn’t happen.

In the interest of simplicity, I am going to switch to a weekly post of my everyday images.  Once a week is an improvement in my regular posting, and it isn’t SO overwhelming to sit down and pick my favorite images from the week:-)

 This week we did some cooking, I LOVE cooking and trying new recipes, but I am terrible at photographing said recipes, SO this is my excuse to work on my food photography as well.  This is a favorite recipe in our house! I was actually trying to salvage this beer.  I bought it because long ago I had an amazing pumpkin beer and I am trying to find something that compares, but let’s just say…this one DOES NOT! But luckily it added what was needed to the bread and didn’t ruin it:-)

This was a new recipe, SO yummy!  Whole Wheat Banana Chocolate muffins!  A definite repeat!
