Project 365 - Day 178, 179, 180, 181 and 182

Wow Memorial day weekend got me all kinds of behind!! Here goes:
Friday I left work early to pick up Ky, she was at work with her Mom..........I don't have to tell you that wasn't going well :) I was beat when I got home so I took a picture of the book I've been reading in recently.
Day 178


Saturday it was just me and Ky all day, we went out for dinner and I stopped for a sunset photo at the ball field, it was so pretty.
Day 179

Sunday was busier, at 6pm I headed out to do the bridal session, her name is Kris. She was so pretty and nice, I loved taking her pictures. The property we did it on was gorgeous!! I can't wait to photograph the wedding on the 12th. Wish I could post some of the pictures but no one has seen the dress so we have to keep it on the downlow for now :)
Day 180
I didn't have Kyleigh on Monday but I did end up going to Jana's, got to see Kimber :) We drove out to the facility for the wedding, did the tour and absolutely loved the place!! It's perfect for what they are wanting!
Day 181

Tuesday after work I headed to Ky's baseball game only to arrive and find her sunburnt, she was ruby! It was our night with her so I took her home and doctored her all night. Poor baby did not feel good this morning when I dropped her off at school. I just wanted to take her home and cuddle her til she was all better. While get intot he car Tuesday night I spotted her waving at her reflection in a big ol shiny bumper.

Project 365 - Day 177

Last night I was at another baseball game, Ky's mom asked if I would take a couple pictures of them together. I said yes, she wanted some little fun ones on the diamond, I got those done and then made her walk out into a field beside the park that I have been eyeing since coming to the first game. I was right, the light and that field are beautiful.
Day 177

I can not wait to take more pictures in this field. I want to get Jana, Rider and the girls plus I have the engagements pictures...........oh the ideas are spinning in my head :)

Project 365 - Day 174, 175 and 176

I was off work Tuesday and Wednesday, spent the days with Ky and Kimber :) Monday I stopped and took a picture of one of the water towers in WP, there are two that I drive by all the time, this one I liked better because of the light. I love seeing these in little towns.
Day 174


Tuesday night Ky had another baseball game, Jana and Kimber came out to watch with me. Jana about two or three days ago Jana stopped breast feeding and switched to formula, within in 12 hours Kimber had a new habit, I think it's cute don't tell :)
Day 175

I was up until 1 in the morning with all the storms from Tuesday night, scary stuff, as a result I was late getting Ky to daycare Wednesday morning. She was playing the front yard while I loaded the car ;)

Project 365 - Day 170, 171, 172 and 173

It's been a little off in the office since the news of Ora's son, Thursday Dr. Choi decided to buy lunch so we could just sit and not worry about to much for a little bit.
Day 170

Storms rolled in on Friday, it got flat out ugly! I was driving into town when the storm sitting right on top of town produced an unofficial tornado, it removed several roofs on main street, thankfully no one was killed, I do think there were some injuries but nothing major. We didn't have electric for hours and hours after that.
Day 171

This is on the way out of town on Saturday morning...
Day 172

Later on Sunday after got home, I let Ky play in the yard, she had a blast with all the roly polies on the wet yard :)

Project 365 - Day 169

Yesterday was a difficult day for our office. A co-worker of more than 10 years called to let us know that her 21 year old son was found dead in his car after being missing for 5 days. Foul play is suspected, it was a detective that came to their home to tell them they had found his body...........think about that, a stranger walks up your walkway and asks if you're the parents of Ryan, yes, I'm detective Joe, we think we have found your son's body.............not your son, but your son's body. I can not even begin to imagine this loss. He has been to many of our office get togethers, he's the same age as my youngest son, he has two younger sisters, he had only just begun...........Storms of things run thru your mind upon hearing this kind of news. My sister's middle child, Chris, was killed in a car wreck in 2000, he was 16! I don't know how my sister deals with it but I can tell you that still to this day I ache for his presence during the holidays. As I drove home I stopped at a church I pass every morning and night, I sat in the parking lot thinking, praying, sorting my thoughts......this has been a difficult week and then this happened pushing my thoughts right over the edge. It was a comfort to stare up at the cross, to know that God has a handle on things, even if I don't, even as my co-worker goes thru an unbelieveable loss...

Project 365 - Day 167 and 168

Monday night Ky had another baseball game, those kids really do crack me up, although they did play a little more organized this time. Afterward we saw that the rodeo area had horses so we headed over to let the little ones see the horses. Ky loves horses, beyond loves them! I so wish we could get her one but that would not be very practical right now. Maybe when both her and Kimber are older ;)
Day 167

Monday night I had a wild allergic reaction to something, my entire face was swollen, especially my eyes, I mean bad, so bad that when I got up Tuesday morning I couldn't open them, I stayed home all day taking everything I could think of. That night Ky had another game, I was almost afraid to go, didn't want to expose myself to the same spores that got me in this mess in the first place. I walked up there so they would know I was there then got back in my car, watched from there. I took this real quick while I was up there, she was playing first base :)
Day 168
