Project 365 - Week #12

I'm pretty sure I need to take a photography class. It's time to really learn how to use this new camera I got. Maybe I should read the instructions - that would probably help, too. And I'm sure I can find plenty of tutorials on Pinterest. But a class may be in my near future.

Enjoy pics from this week!

Saturday, March 17 - This is the picture that resulted in the new camera. Emily and I have read, "What Makes a Rainbow," everynight since Aunt Ney gave her the book. It's become Emily's new love. For St. Patrick's Day, we made a rainbow. I grabbed my camera to take a picture of Emily and her rainbow, only to discover a broken camera. This picture was taken with my cell phone. But I love this picture. Emily had a great time making the rainbow. She got to paint, color, use scissors, and play with glue. She was a happy girl!

Sunday, March 18 - Brad is already annoyed with me taking all sorts of pictures.

Monday, March 19 - Daddy and Emi being silly on the couch. They were growling at each other.

Tuesday, March 20 - Chick-fil-a night. Emi enjoying her ice cream.

Wednesday, March 21 - I'm not sure why she felt the need to wear her big jacket outside, but that's what she wanted. Love the big jack and flipflop look.

Thursday, March 22 - Daddy, Emi, and Banjo playing chase around the living room.

Friday, March 23 - Emi is starting to enjoy her Mr. Potato Head. Usually she moves all of the pieces from one of her purses to another, but Friday morning she created this little guy.

Week #11 - Project 365

Another week is in the books. I feel like the pictures I'm posting are from so long ago, but it was just a week ago. The week involved a birthday party, lots of outside time, and a fun day with Nonie and Peepaw. The exciting news around our house is that I got a new camera! Hopefully after this week the quality of pictures will improve. I've already had so much fun playing with the camera. Now I need to get some photo editing software. :)

Saturday, March 10 - We had a birthday party at the house for a good friend. Emily enjoyed all of the attention. This is Jenny reading with Emily.

Sunday, March 11 - First night in a big girl bed! She's done so well so far and loved her "new" bed!

Monday, March 12 - Towel ride after bath. This is one of Emily's favorite things.

Tuesday, March 13 - Emily making it snow from the tree.

Wednesday, March 14 - A picture of her crazy red hair. We can't go anywhere without someone asking or commenting on her red hair. I don't get it.

Thursday, March 15 - Banjo!

Friday, March 16 - Brad took Thursday and Friday off of work to watch all of the basketball games. Friday morning we went to the park with Nonie and Peepaw to ride the train, feed the ducks, and eat at the Food Truck Park. Emily had a great time!

Project 365 - Week #10

This week was all about Emily's new swing. She played with it every single day and LOVED every moment. I have a picture of her playing on it everyday. I thought about only posting swing pictures, but decided it break it up a little bit.
Enjoy this week's pictures.

Saturday, Feb. 3 - At Home Depot getting supplies for the new swing. They had fun at HomeDepot.

Sunday, Feb. 4 - Emily likes to run about the living room, waving her arms, saying, "Fly like a bird! Fly like a bird!" It's so funny.

Monday, Feb. 5 - Emily playing on her new swing. She wanted Brad to swing with her on the old swing.

Tuesday, Feb. 6 - Playing with macaroni and glue. She was a happy girl.

Wednesday, Feb. 7 - Playing on her new swing, again.

Thursday, Feb. 8 - Swinging like a monkey on her new swing.

Friday, Feb. 9 - Playing at the Children's Museum with her friend Ryan.

Project 365 - Week #9

I realize that this week is almost over and I'm just now posting last week's pics - better late than never. :)
Enjoy.

Saturday, Feb. 25- Emily spent Friday night with Nonie and Peepaw. Saturday morning they took her to a bounce house place. This is on of the big slides she played on.

Sunday, Feb. 26 - Being silly. She put on Mr. Potato Head's glasses.

Friday, March 2 - We had dinner at Nonie and Peepaw's house with Shelley, Derek, and Logan. Emily decided she would play with Logan's toys.

Project 365 - Week #8

The weather here has been wonderful lately! I think winter forgot us this year and I'm okay with that! We spent a lot of time outside this week. Here's a quick rundown of pics from this week. Enjoy!

Saturday, Feb. 18  - Emily picked out her own clothes today. She was so excited to go out to lunch with daddy in her special outfit. I love her silly smile in this picture.

Sunday, Feb. 19 - Bubble time!

Monday, Feb. 20 - Cleaning up out front with Daddy.

Tuesday, Feb. 21 - Cookie! Enjoy her Mardi Gras themed cookie. She's saying cheese and trying to eat her cookie at the same time.

Wednesday, Feb. 22 - Bed time! She crawled up into this chair, ready to go to bed all on her own.

Thursday, Feb. 23 - Snuggle time before bedtime.

Friday, Feb. 24 - Emily had a busy Friday! We spent the morning at the zoo with some friends. The three girls had a great time checking out all of the animals and running all over the place. That evening, Nonie and Peepaw spent the night with Emily so Brad and I could celebrate our 5th anniversary. She went to the park, out for frozen yogurt, and played and played. She was a happy (and tired) little girl.

Project 365 - Week #7

Here we are at week #7. I'm learning that some days it's so easy to take a picture because something cute, funny, or out of the ordinary is happening. And then there are the other days that are just ordinary and routine. Those "ordinary" and "routine" days make it hard to figure out what to take a picture of. But I also know that those days are the ones I'm going to want pictures of down the road.

Brad and I don't celebrate Valentine's Day, but Emily had a good time making Valentine's for her friends and teachers. Valentine's Day with the highlight of our week.

Random question - Picnik is closing in April and that's what I've been using to edit and watermark my pictures. Do y'all know of anyother free and simple editing program?


Saturday, Feb. 11 - We wanted to get out of the house Saturday morning, but it was too cold to do something outside. We ended up going to the mall that has a bounce house place. Emily had so much fun playing bouncing and driving this little car around

Sunday, Feb. 12 - Making Valentine's with Daddy. Emily put the stickers on the homemade Valentine's for her teachers and friends. She was so excited to make them and give them to her friends and teachers.

Monday, Feb. 13 - Eating her peas. Emily LOVES peas. She ate all of the peas on her dinner plate and wanted more. She ate them right out of the container.

Tuesday, Feb. 14 - Emily's Valentine's gift from us was a new set of Disney puzzles. She was so exited to put them together. One of Brad's favorite things to do is put together puzzles. I have a feeling these two are going to put together a lot of puzzles as she gets older.

Wednesday, Feb. 15 - Our spoiled dog. She crawled up on the couch and put her head on the pillow. I added the blanket.

Thursday, Feb. 16 - Emily's easel. She got this for Christmas from Santa and loves it. She plays with it everyday.

Friday, Feb. 17 - Blowing up a balloon. Well, trying to blow up the balloon. Poor girl has croup, again. She can't seem to get well right now.

Project 365 - Week #6

Ahhh...what a week. I'm glad the week is over, but I could really use another day to my weekend.
This week started off with Emily getting sick. She woke up Friday night with a high fever and just not feeling good. We took her to the doctor Saturday morning to learn she had strep throat. She ended up with a strep rash Saturday afternoon. She was well enough to go to school Monday. Monday morning I got a call from her school letting me know it looked like she (and her whole class) had hand, foot, and mouth disease. And Brad left town Monday morning. Awesome.

Here's a quick rundown of our week:

Saturday, Feb. 4 - Emi and Daddy craft time. Emily was sick, but from time to time she got enough energy to do something. She was playing with her dot paints / markers. Brad was making her a necklace.

Sunday, Feb. 5 - This is her reaction when we told her it was time to take her medicine. Crying, screaming, hands over her mouth, running to the other room. Yep, we had to pin her down and force the medicine down her throat.

Monday, Feb. 6 - We made our own paint (flour, water, salt, and food coloring). Emily loves using the bottles to make big puddles.

Tuesday, Feb. 7 - Emily and I treated ourselves to cupcakes one night. She picked one with blue frosting. And she was a happy little girl.

Wednesday, Feb. 8
Yep, no picture this day. I think this is the first day I forgot to take a picture :(

Thursday, Feb. 9 - Time to thrown a fit. I remember this had something to do with not eating her dinner and wanting candy. Not exactly sure how it all happened, but she eventually ate her green beans (which she loves) and got her candy. I have a video of the fit, too. I'll post that another day.

Friday, Feb. 10 - Emily and I spent Friday morning at the Children's Museum. She had a great time running around playing and exploring.
