26/52 - 1/2 way baby!

WooHoo! 1/2 way through this project...which means that we are also 1/2 way through 2009. WOW! Time is just flying!

Today, a friend and I took our kiddos to pick blueberries. It was SO HOT but totally worth it to have all these delicious (and nutritious...shhhh...don't tell the kids!) berries frozen and ready to enjoy all summer. I make the kids smoothies several times a week and can't wait to start throwing a few in each one :) When we started picking, my friend thought to take a picture of me and the kids for the blog. It is better that we did it at the beginning as we were sweaty hot after an hour of picking! Thanks for inviting us and for the picture, C!!

If I'm being honest, I will admit that I completely forgot about this weeks picture until I went back to get ready for bed tonight. Oops! The kids are in bed. Hubby is gone. My only companions were WonderMutt and my timer...PS. I have GOT to get a remote ASAP!!

WonderMutt is my shadow. She follows me room to room and sleeps at my feet. She spent 8 weeks in prison being trained and loved on by inmates and I am not sure if I remind her of one of them or she just thinks I can protect her from Princess P putting dresses and makeup on her but she sticks very close to me at all times. She sheds, she licks and she eats Legos on a daily basis...but other than that, she is a great dog and we love her for who she is ;)

I took about 25 pictures, pushing the button and running back into the picture and got maybe 3 in focus. It didn't leave me much to choose from so here ya go. Picture 25 of 52. She loves to have her belly scratched ;)

Phew - 1 hour until next week....I made it!

So....Tricky T has been wanting a mohawk for MONTHS. There is a guy in C's karate school that has one that T thinks is so cool. I was lining the kids up for haircut day on Saturday and he asked again so I obliged. It is summertime, right? I had to add in the bonus pic b/c seriously, he is the sweetest kid and honestly, not a "tough guy" (no offense, sweetie) so this cracks me up!


Oh and for a certain few that will appreciate this...the second was with OCF -yippee. I was playing out back the other night to see what I can do. It was still light out but with closing it down to f/22 and using the flash, it looks like a studio shot. Sweet! I am going to love learning this...and might need a little direction - lol!

I can't believe that we are 23 weeks into 2009 already. And I really can't believe that I have not missed a week of this project yet! Woohoo. The last few pics have just been taken with my Canon Powershot and not my work cameras but it is so much easier carry this little guy around when we are out and about instead of lugging the big guns out. I will get some nice pics someday, but for the purpose of this, I am just trying to get pictures taken.

We are enjoying the nice weather before it gets unbearably hot here in OK. We went to a small park yesterday to play and today we met some friends at a bigger park a couple of towns over. Here we are all loaded up and ready to go play. [Disclaimer: We took one of the seats out of the van when we went to the lake last week so we could put the dog's crate in there and haven't put it back yet.]
