The Joy of 3 Year Olds..Cam & Shea

AAHHH! The pure joy and innocence of 3 year olds. I love to watch these 2 little bugs. I am blessed to have Cam and Shea at this wonderful age this year. You know pure joy when you hear the giggles and laughter of 3 year olds.





Words are not really necessary. It's all in their cute little faces.
Joy for a Grandma!

The Glory of Weeds...

Have you ever stopped to appreciate the beauty of a dandelion? My backyard flower garden has given me ample opportunity to admire them. They have taken over and over and over. As I contemplated removing the weeds to make way for the flowers I was presented with a great photo opportunity. The sprinklers had recently been on so the dandelions were glistening with water drops. I ran and got my camera and proceeded to take more than 50 pictures of dandelions. Crazy, but fun!





I've been taking photo classes and was given a homework assignment or challenge. The instructor challenged us to commit to taking A picture everyday and create a file to keep a daily photo journal. Of course, no one can shoot just one. Once the camera's out it's hard to quit. Anyway, the picture of me behind the dandelions is todays journal entry. It will be interesting to see how many different things show up in a years time.

I pass the challenge on to each of you. It will be fun!

Music...a beautiful thing.

I really enjoyed this portrayal of "DO RE MI" from The Sound of Music. I hope it brings a smile to your face.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if these things happened randomly more often to lighten our hectic days. Can you even imagine the joy of happening upon a scene like this one.

Tulip Festival

A Beautiful Day,
in A Beautiful Place
with Beautiful People.
Susan, Zach, Cam and I went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. Definitely worth the trip if you ever get a chance. The day was perfect with temp in the mid 70's under a bright blue sky.

HINT: You gotta click on these pics to enlarge for the full effect.



The colors were gorgeous! Pinks, yellows, reds, oranges, whites, purples......



Here's Zach taking a picture of Cam and Susan who are taking a picture of us.



The boys were sooo good for a long walking, photo op trip with mom and grandma.
(We walked for over 3 hours and they never complained. Of course I bribed them with ice cream when we got done if they'd let me take pictures.) I took 317 pictures today, it was so much fun.



Their favorite part of the day was rolling down the big grass hill at the end of the day. These little guys must have rolled down and hiked back up at least 10 times. You can see the pure joy in the expressions on their faces.






There's nothing like a fun day out amongst the flowers, under the sun with my daughter and grandsons to make me appreciate my life and all the blessings in it. This day was a winner.

My New Bedroom

I'm soooo excited to show you my new bedroom.




I call this color "Robin Egg Blue" It is really relaxing and at the same time uplifting. If you click on the picture you can see that the bedding is covered in butterflies and wildflowers. AAhhhhhh!
A huge change from the previous decor.
