Catch the Moment 365 | {January 17-23}

Day 17

My library has been closed the past week for annual maintenance and today was my day to go in and work on projects. The book drop was more than a little full as I was leaving for the day.

Day 18

Saturdays are always busy, and the day got away from me. So as the sun was setting I ran outside and took a picture of Mount Timpanogos. I love the way the mountains turn pink at sunset.

Day 19

Today the boys decided to get out their car mats and play with their cars. I love to listen to the stories they make up as they play together!

Day 20

It was Martin Luther King Day so my kids had the day off, as did my husband. So we dragged the kids along on a trip to the Home Depot. As you can see, they were thrilled.

Day 21

I  was intrigued by the ice crystals on the car window outside early this morning. Then this afternoon I had to take a picture of Eli and his sister. I love it when my boys are willing to play dolls with their little sister!

Day 22

I went with Jonah's Tiger Cub Scout group to the Hutchings Museum in Lehi, Utah. They had many fun collections, including birds and eggs, rocks and minerals, and pioneer history.

Day 23

Another shot of the moon as I was coming home from the gym in the morning. I love that you can see the craters of the moon so well in this shot!

Catch the Moment 365 | {January 11-16}

Another week, another set of pictures! I have decided to join Nurse Loves Farmer, Behind the Camera and Dreaming and SimplyStavish for their Catch the Moment 365 on Friday morning. The timing works out better for me, but I will still be linking to 365 at The Boy and Me.

So here are my photos for the past week from the Honey House.

Day 11

With all the snow we had the past few days, we were hoping to go sledding today. No such luck! It warmed up enough that everything was slushy. So we went to a nearby church parking lot and had scooter races on the mostly dry asphalt. Can you tell I have two boys and a girl?

Day 12

On Sunday my boys think it is fun to read the comics together. They don't really get most of the jokes, but I think it is adorable that they still try!

Day 13

I got my new camera bag today! I have wanted a nice camera bag for a while now and finally decided on a 2 Sues bag made by Kelly Moore. Isn't it gorgeous?!

Day 14

After Kindergarten today I discovered that Eli and Miss Aubrey had made up a "bed" on the couch and were having a great time playing together and being silly. What a cute pair!

What's on your night stand? I bet you don't have this many books! This evening I went to my Young Adult book group and brought this huge stack of books with me. As a children's librarian, I have been trying to read all the contenders for the Newbery Award before it is announced at the end of January. I have read almost all of these books in the past month.

Day 15

Eli came home from Kindergarten today and was determined to finish all of his math homework... for the entire month of January! Who am I to say no to that kind of determination? So we sat down and got them all done this afternoon.

Day 16

I took this picture when I got home from the gym this morning. Yep! It is still pitch black outside when I get home from the gym at 6:30 am. I have been going to the gym 4-5 times a week for the past two months. All my hard work paid off! Not only have I lost 7% of my body fat, I found out today I won the biggest loser contest at work! Hooray!

This evening I played Twister with the kids. Miss Aubrey didn't quite understand the game and spent most of the time laying down on the job. We had so much fun and laughed so hard!

Day 5

Sunday morning my little girl cozied up to her Daddy and started being silly and making us laugh. Luckily my camera was close by, so I managed to snap a picture of the two of them together.

Day 6

Last month for Scouts my son made a birdfeeder using a cardboard tube, peanut butter, and seeds. We watched and waited, but did not catch any birds eating the seeds. When I came home from dropping the kids off at school I spotted this little guy having breakfast. So I had to take some pictures to show Jonah that his bird feeder worked!!

Day 7

Today my little girl was supposed to be taking a nap in her room. I had already put her back in bed once and then it was quiet, so I thought for sure she was asleep. When I peeked into her room I caught her trying to put a diaper on her dolly!

Day 8

It snowed like crazy all day today! I shoveled the driveway three or four times! In between shoveling, I decided to try to take pictures of snowflakes. The above picture was the best of the bunch and I was pretty happy with it!

I also have a pretty cute shoveling crew, don't you think? After all their hard work we decided to stop and make a snowman. I think he turned out pretty well.

Meet Sam the Snowman. Isn't he cute?

Day 9

My oldest boy started karate in the Fall, and so far he loves it! Today was parent watch day, so I got to snap a few pictures of the instructor showing him how to get out of a hold.

Day 10

Miss Aubrey absolutely loves her Bear-Bear (in case you can't tell)! When she falls asleep she likes to cuddle up to him and stroke his gingham ribbon between her fingers. It is the cutest thing ever!

Day 11

With all the snow we had the past few days, we were hoping to go sledding today. No such luck! It warmed up enough that everything was slushy. So we went to a nearby church parking lot and had scooter races on the mostly dry asphalt. So fun!

How was your week?

Happy New Year!

I am not typically the type of person who makes "resolutions". I prefer to make and set goals whenever I feel the need. However, in an effort to get my camera out more often and document our daily lives, I decided this year I wanted participate in a 365 project. It will be nice to start with the new year and take photos every day this year.

 Additionally, I have always wanted to have a scrapbook that my kids can enjoy (and me too!), so I have decided to start working on my Project Life scrapbook this year. I have a scrapbook and core kit and everything I need to get going. Now I just need to fill my book with pictures. So here we go!

Day 1

January 1st- After staying up late we all slept in and spent the whole morning in our pajamas! Don't I have the cutest kiddos? In the afternoon the boys and Daddy worked on building the Lego Millennium Falcon that they got for Christmas.

Day 2

January 2- Today we went to the library and checked out a bunch of books. The boys checked out a bunch of Star Wars books, which may have been influenced by all the Lego Star Wars sets they got for Christmas.

Day 3

January 3- The kids and I went to see a morning matinee of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. We all had a good laugh at all the "foodimals" such as shimpanzees, watermelephants and flamangos.

Day 4

January 4- We typically spend Saturdays cleaning up around the house and getting ready for church on Sunday. So all the kids get cleaned up as well. Here is Miss Aubrey playing with her animals in the tub.
