Pretty

Someday I am going to get tired of taking pictures of the flowers that keep randomly appearing in my backyard, but it won’t be today, because pretty things keep showing up!

 

 

 

(so. the only color of pink I love is that gorgeous deep magenta, and I was super excited that my roses came in that color. Until I tried to take pictures of them and was once again reminded that my camera does not register deep magenta as a color, and turns it into an orangey pink. I have changed every setting and cannot make it take… so here is my rose in not even close to all it’s glory.)

I love taking pictures.  Tomorrow I am doing my first ever photo shoot for not only people I do not know, but for CHILDREN I do not know.  I haven’t had much experience photographing children, so I am super nervous but excited about the opportunity.  The mom is in the mops group my mom mentors and offered to let me get some practice on her kids.  We will see how they turn out…

(this one did not appear randomly. I planted it, and 7 other like it.  After 2 weeks none of them are dead which makes them pretty to me.  Zucchini bread is coming!)

Part of you capture

yay!

I had to wake up early, desperately need a nap beefore work, currently have no power to my house and need to (re)vacuum floors I just vacuumed, but I have a ceiling fan in my living room and that makes me happy :) I hope everyone else is having a happy tuesday as well!

Mom!

My mom’s ringtone for her girls…

If I live to be a hundred
And never see the seven wonders
That'll be alright
If I don't make it to the big leagues
If I never win a Grammy
I'm gonna be just fine
'Cause I know exactly who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

So when I make big mistake
When I fall flat on my face
I know I'll be alright
Should my tender heart be broken
I will cry those teardrops knowin'
I will be just fine
'Cause nothin' changes who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

My momma's still my biggest fan

Who I am by Jessica Andrews.

she loves me. she supports me.  she makes 12 baskets for my sister’s nursery and promises to make the roman shades for my kitchen. she volunteer to do whatever needs to be done in our family, without thought for what is going on in her life. she loves my grandparents even when they are crazy. she makes Ross and I biscuits and gravy on Mother’s day, because "I am mom and that is what I do. feed my kids"

I am turning into (a much less impressive version of) my mother, and I am totally okay with it.

I can’t stop taking them!

 

 

Each time I go to the park I head up a new path and find new things to take 180 pictures of.  I quite love it… what a wonderful way to spend spring.

Kitchen, Pt 1.

A friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else."
- Len Wein,

I say this semi jokingly (although I am fairly certain it is true for Ben at least, who managed to mention how much he hates painting at least once every 10 minutes) but when I sent out a facebook update on Wednesday something to the tune of “Would anyone please please please come help me paint because if I don’t get my kitchen back after 2 weeks of stripping wallpaper I might lose my mind!!!”  I got responses from some of my favorite people ever. Ben and Tiffany live an hour away, Riley from 2, and they converged on my house yesterday to save my sanity.

 

(Riley, Ben, Tiffany)

(Having guys to move the fridge and the piano? Priceless!)

(Tiffany is a very good overseer)

I have no pretty pictures from the day, these 3 are the only ones I took, but my kitchen is *almost* done and I have further confirmation that I have the best friends ever.

Finished pictures to come.
