Embrace the Camera…

Have I mentioned that I’ve been downloading lots of fun free camera apps???  I think I have mentioned it.  My latest is pudding camera.   I love all the different options it has for camera.   River and I had a lot of fun today fooling around with it!  Everyone around here has a cold….me, River, Grey, Escher and Tuesday…..ugh…  It isn’t fun having two grumpy babies who want constant attention and cuddling!!  Lots of snotty tissues.  But, anyway, enjoy your Thursday and go embrace the camera…..

This Moment….

This moment – A Friday ritual.  A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week.  A simple, special, extraordinary moment.  A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Happy Friday……

Oh the things…..

Yes, the things we do for our little ones.  My time seems so precious.  While the babies are napping, I run around getting all the things done that I can’t do while they are awake…like EVERYTHING!!  Of course, I always feel the first thing I need to do is give River some of my time.  So, I had to iron some little bead creations she had made…about two weeks ago!  And then, I had to FINALLY put velcro on her iflop frog. This iflop frog was Quinns and now it is Rivers.  It has gotten so much use.  An ipod is inserted into the little creature and then you turn it on and it lights up and has speakers inside of it.  River loves it and the zipper to the ipod case had broken.  Well, that poor creature sat on my sewing table for about a month….and finally today I fixed the little guy…so River is very happy.  It all gets done…eventually!  Enjoy your day.

Embrace the camera….

 

It always seems like as soon as I try to take a photo with one of the babies..the other one starts to fuss…..always.  Again, with the patience.  Will I ever fully learn patience?  Seems like it is one of those endless lessons in life.  I hope I’m getting better at it..especially when it is around 3:30 and the second shift is coming home.  I never seem to get that perfect shot that I had in my head….it does always seem perfect in my head….I guess, again, that’s just life.  But I figure, any picture with the babies, or any of my children, is a good picture.  Happy Thursday and go embrace the camera….

MyTubo favorites from the week…..

Here are some of my favorite photos from the last week that I’ve posted on Mytubo.  Nap time is still a challenge..not with Grey.  I put them in separate rooms for nap time, so Grey goes in her swing.  She loves the swing and sleeps very well.  But Escher, he does not sleep well during nap time.  It takes him forever to fall asleep and he doesn’t stay asleep for long.  But at night time, he loves his crib.  Who can figure it out.

Morning time is always a bit crazy…especially when I’ve been up since 5 am.  I love how this shot captures the craziness, yet wonderful-ness of it all.

All River wants to do is “hold” and be with the babies.  I love this shot because it captures their little feet and how cute they are together.

River took this shot and I just love it.  It pretty much captures her personality!  It is one of my favorites.  And the last two are nature shots. that I took over the weekend.  I hope you are having a happy Monday!

Embrace the Camera….

Seems like all Escher wants to do is crawl these days.  He isn’t interested in sitting…he has no time to sit!  Grey is trying to figure out the crawling thing, but she hasn’t figured it out yet….rolling works better for her.  Laying on the floor with the babies is so much fun, but risky.  They love pulling hair….usually mine.  Well, go embrace the camera..before they grow up!

Bags of Love….

I love this store….Bags of Love, the personalized gift company!  They have personalized gift ideas made with love.  They turn your favorite photos into gorgeous things to treasure:  from canvases and handbags to wallpaper, cushions, beanbags and bedding; gorgeous personalized gifts to treasure forever.

They sent me this gorgeous custom made shopper bag that I love so much**.  Every mom knows how hard it is to find a fashionable bag that you can just grab when you need to run out.  It is just the right size for all my diapering needs when I need to make some quick trips to the store.

I sent them a photo that my daughter Tuesday had taken and I told them just how I wanted it cropped. I got to choose from four different trim colors.  The real leather handles and the white waterproof lining are so practical.  Of course it has a handy interior pocket where I stored the diaper changing pad and a bottle!  I’ve already used it a ton and the patent vinyl still looks great.  Now, I know you could use this bag for the beach, shopping or even as a pocketbook, but I wanted an extra diaper bag and now I finally have one.  I have quite a bit of stuff that I like to take along with me…and it all fits in with no problem.  It is so nice and roomy.

Who doesn’t love getting compliments on their bag…well, I sure got a lot of compliments this weekend.  The colors on the bag are so vibrant.  I love the photo that I chose and I love how they printed it on the bag.  It is going to be used a lot.

Embrace the Camera……

Hi there and Happy Thursday!  It is so hard to find time to play with JUST River…the babies just NEED so much time!  Whenever I’m taking photos of the babies, of course River wants to get in there also.  So, whenever it is nap time, I try to take some time for just River and I….like crazy photos!  So, here we are, being goofy.  Have a great day and go embrace the camera!
