Need to figure this out

I think I need to figure out how to remember to update my own blog instead of just reading others!

wow, I just tried out the new food storage analyzer at emergency essentials. I love this thing, really! It’s such an easy way to figure out how long you could eat from your current storage, helps you plan what else you need, gives nutritional information too.

I can tell this will be tool I become very familiar with.

Time for an update

I've pictures to upload from the summer, guess I'll get on with that!

Anticipation #2

just love this door, it always makes me wonder what I'll find in the secret garden

Stack #31

this is such a cool fountain at Thanksgiving Point

Oops #24

OOPS! forgot my camera was on manual and didn't adjust exposure (but I kinda like the result anyway)

Symmetry #33

loved the look of this brick walkway

What was that #35

thought this looked like a swim mask, but it is actually the mirror on our car from inside

Hard & Soft #17

our kids hand prints in cement contrast with the soft grass

Rustic #27

Not even sure what this is, just some piece of equipment in our back acre

Low Light #20

The sun was almost set when I took this one, I was zooming as I shot

Foliage #11

this is a blade of grass at sunrise

Framed #12

I loved how the tree shadow was framed in the window

Empty #9

choices #6

my little dog having a stand off with the cows I thought they looked like they were deciding who would win (my little dog did, lol) he had them all running it was so funny to watch

I've been tagged

So i've been tagged for my first time (thanks Bonnie lol) twinsmom
So, 8 things you may not know about me......

1. I was born a halloween baby. I never liked it growing up, I always wanted my "own" day, and I always had halloween cakes lol
(now I just use it as an excuse if I have a real "witchy" day.

2. I'm a SAHM (who doesn't seem to be home all that much) 2 boys, sports and a daughter on drill team keeps me plenty busy.

3. I've been on several scrapbook design teams, currently I design for my local scrapbook store. We've just started a gallery you can see some of my work there if you'd like awesomemommy at crazy scraps I also love to visit willow traders
4. I a book-a-holic, LOVe to read. I've been gather books of my own for as long as I can remember. Just one problem, once I start a book I have to read it clear through, I hate waiting. Needless to say sometime I neglect everything when I'm reading.

5. I love to write. Not saying I'm good at it or anything, but I do it anyway, mostly poetry (bad poetry)

6. I love to organize things, especially my scrapbook room. Now nevermind that NOthing stays organized EVER, so I'm in a perpetual nightmare of re-organizing. Nobody ever accused me of being a neat freak.

7. My camera is one of my prized possesions, it is so much fun trying to see things differently, or notice things others may miss. I'm really just a beginner as a photographer, but every once in a while I get a shot that thrills me and it makes all the missed ones worth it. I love to just go exploring with my camera.

8. I love my family, DH and I have been married 18 years and have 3 great kids (at least most of the time they are) seeing them happy is the bright spot of my life, and DH is such a blessing to me.

Thanks to Bonnie for taking time to check out my blog an sharing hers with me too. Hope you'll come back soon
