I Heart Faces - Wind Challenge

I took these Friday night just before dark after Ky's pageant, she was being onrey, moving and singing, so I jacked up the ISO and snapped away. It was super windy, she was standing on the trunk of my car, my camera, Diego, could not resist her ;)

Project 365 - Day 136

Pageant time, so much put into the dress in the month prior only for that 5 minute walk down the carpet in front of the judges. Ky was very, very excited, jumping spinning, 'when is my turn'!! Her turn came, number 13 of 15 girls, she walked out there and didn't smile not once. She was beautiful though. Afterward her mommy told me 'no more pageants' too stressful, I have to say Yea!! I am totally relieved. I think my granddaughter is beautiful, but those pageants aren't really the atmosphere I perfer her to be in. After the pageant, it was just me and punkin, I took a few pictures, this one was my favorite.

Day 136

It was getting dark so I jacked up the ISO, super windy and she moves like a buzzing bee, it turned out good despite that though.

Project 365 - Day 135

Ky is going to be in the Little Miss Bluebird pageant Friday night, but the dress saga has been going on for far longer! Her mom asked me to get the dress, I love buying the girls little pretty dresses normally, however the pageant thing is so stressful. The dress has to be this or that, gotta be perfect! So I shopped online about a month ago, decided on a budget, modest (trust me), then ordered a pretty little dress, very pretty. I ordered shoes at the same time. The shoes came in right away! The dress took another week, it was not at all what it was supposed to be, pretty but not going to work for what we needed. I decided to make the pretty little dress her Easter dress and try to find something new, 2 weeks to go. I found a dress ordered it, and the more I thought about this dress the better I liked it right up until last Tuesday when I got the email stating that dress is discontinued. Ugh! Is this really happening, more importantly, is this really neccessary?? Ok I get back online and get confused beyond words, dresses are spinning thru my head! I called the place about the order, she says see if you can find one and I'll tell you if it's in stock. I found another dress, Tiffany says that's great it's in stock, I'll post everything now and it will leave here in the morning. Monday comes, no dress! I call Tiffany, please you have to help me! she checks and some how the order had been canceled. She assures me she has taken care of reposting it, they will over night it and I will have it by Wednesday. Wednesday comes and no dress :( I called again, they jumped on it, really this girl got it done because today I got the dress!! It's pretty too, prettier than I had thought it woudl be. I felt that so much had happened regarding this dress that it only made sense to make it the photo of the day...............who knows tomorrow could be the shoes, LOLOL!!

Day 135

Project 365 - Day 133 and 134

Yesterday I stopped at the lake because the fog was hovering over it again, I took some pictures and went on about my day. Sometime around 4 I thought man I need to take my picture of the day. At 6:39pm I thought I have to get going, plus now I really need to get a picture of the day done, maybe a sunset photo. It took forever to get to WP near home and by that time the sun had gone down. Now I have to do a photo of the day without light, argh! So I thought I'll take one of the main street, I parked, got Diego out and then realized OMGosh! I had already taken the photo of the day..........at the lake that morning!! What the heck!

Day 133

Sunday, I spotted what I think is a blue heron on a pond around the corner from the house, we were on our way home from the bluebonnets in Ennis, anyway I asked Randy to stop, I snapped a few pictures just as he was flying off. Later that night Randy and I decided to take the boat out and fish a little. We went to Holiday dock, put the boat in and headed out of the no wake zone when there on a pole sticking up out of the water was another blue heron. I took a couple pictures, we were not close and it was nearing sunset, still though I was happy to see it. This morning I was driving out, right before you get to the main road in town I always look to my right at a little pond just before the stop sign, just to see if the cows are around. No cows this morning, instead I saw another blue heron, sitting happy as you please on the ponds edge. I stopped, backed up, rolled down the passenger window and took a few pictures just before he decided to walk out of view. That makes three!

Day 134



 These are from Sunday, above from the lake and below from near the house.

PS: I can't stand it when I forget to spell check, which is most of the darn time!! Seriously I will come back, take a glance and realize either I have dyslexia or I'm typing this while drugged, I don't do drugs so there ya go. Please ignore my spelling, grammar and in general dumb errors spilled freely about my blog!!

From the lobby looking up to the elevator at work, our office is just to the right.

Day 132

Project 365 - Day 129, 130 and 131

Friday I was swamped here at work so I decided I would take a picture at home that night. I stopped to pick up Punkin at WalMart, and while we were there I bought her an Ariel umbrella, which she promptly wanted to play with. It took everything in my power to keep her from opening it in the car. When we got to the house I took her picture admiring Ariel from underneath.

Day 129

Saturday, Punkin and I were alone most of the day, we cleaned and did laundry, watched the movie Tangled. She was sick though, poor baby ran fever and had a couple vomiting moments too. She needed lots of in Gigi's lap cuddling time. While cleaning I noticed that she had written on the glass with crayons, so I gave her the windex and some paper towel.

Day 130

Sunday we went on our yearly bluebonnet drive to Ennis. A friend's Dad has property there and he had a booming crop this year!! We had Rider, Jana, Kimber, me, Randy and Ky, I took loads of pictures. Ky was not in a good mood, still running a fever, she wouldn't go but about a foot away from her Pappy or Daddy. Kimber was adorable, can't wait to see her in them walking next year.

Day 131

Project 365 - Days 122, 123, 124, 125, 126 and 127

I was sick for about three days and got behind on my posting, however even sick I took pictures, I'm not sure what that says about me though :)

Friday, I completely forgot to get my picture of the day done, it did not occur to me until that night while sitting in bed reading with Punkin that I had not taken a picture!!! not one!!! So I pulled out Diego and took a picture of Punkin reading, poor lighting and she was moving like a buzzing bee!

Day 122

Saturday, one of my husbands cousins daughter brought her daughter over for pictures, while I was taking pictures Rylee and Kyleigh played a little too. I thought this was too cute.

Day 123

Sunday, I had to take pictures of Kimber in a variety of socks for a project for her Mommy and when I was done I drove her around the corner to the bluebonnets for a couple fun pictures in the pretties :)

Day 124

Monday, I was so sick with my sinuses I thought my head was going to pop! Even still, I did manage to take Ky outside for her daily bike ride, she just recently learned how to ride her bike with trainers. It is so fun to watch the little ones learn and grow!! She had to wear her bunny ears too!

Day 125

Tuesday brought real misery with the sinuses, I was so sick, no outside anything Tuesday. This picture was my life :(

Day 126

Wednesday I was feeling better, still coughing and sniffling but better. So we did have some outside time. Ky was wearing a shirt that Jana had given her a while back, now she's big enough for it and I thought it was cute as heck :) I had to get crafty on how to take the picture, I didn't want just a straight on shot, I thought this one turned out pretty cool!

Day 127
