Hoodies

Jar loves clothing, but he especially loves hoodies. Every time we go somewhere where there are clothes, he looks at hoodies. Last year for Christmas, I think he got 3 hoodies. When we went out shopping last week, he found another hoodie. It cracks me up. Of course, I will only buy one if we find a mindblowing deal. 

I counted--He has nine total

God's Creation

Cam and I have a love for photography. . . both of us from the time we were little. I just love what you can create with a photo, but I also love the memory that is documented. A photo can take you right back to that moment and all of the emotions associated with it.

Cam and I love to photograph God's creation.  It is so amazing to me what God created. . . the beauty everywhere, sometimes in the simplest of things.

We could try to travel the world over, but we would still not have enough time in our lifetime to see all of God's beauty.

This photo of a simple tree is an example of what is in the simple beauty of the world.  This tree is just around the corner from us. I love this!!

Fun With Lily

Lily is the cutest dog, but she can be really funny too.  She has such a great personality.  One of the funniest things she does is to steal socks--she finds them everywhere.  We love her.

Jar's 13th Birthday

These are photos of Jar's 13th birthday last year. I cannot believe my baby is a teenager. Time flies by so quickly. It is so hard. My boys are so grown up.

Silly Lily

Lily is so silly.  She has found that if she sits on top of the couch under the lamp, it is like a heat lamp.  She loves it. 

Here are some other great photos of her.  I love taking photos of her, but it is like taking photos of a baby.  It is NOT easy.

Lily is so funny looking when she sits...she has night demon eyes!

Gardening

I love gardening. I don't do as much as I did when we lived in our other house, but I still like to have pretty flowers and landscaping. I try to have perennials that bloom all throughout the summer, so that there is color the whole season. It is fun to see the progression every year. Here are photos of some of the cuts from my garden.

  

I love hydrangeas (especially blue). . . they also mean a lot to me because it is the flower that I planted in our other house and here in this house to remind me of our lost angel baby.

 These next photos are of the flowers that I picked up at Trader Joe's.  These flowers were so pretty and they lasted 4 weeks for me, which was so worth the $3.99 that I paid.

Home Decor

Here are a few photos of the inside of some of our house.

I bought this dresser to help with storage issues in our bedroom

I bought this ottoman to help with storage and for the 3 boys to have a foot rest

A clean, organized, and rearranged livingroom

Song List

I think that is interesting to see how different people are when it comes to music. The boys listen to different types of music. I thought I would take a photo of the boys music library lists.
