Love Post #1 - Love this child

This is my oldest son, Tyler. He is so full of spunk and has quite the personality. Last night I was playing around with my camera and trying to get a picture of him. He was trying to be sneaky and hide from me. Well, the trick turned out to be on him. I started taking pictures of our dog and then I pointed the camera at him and got this adorable picture. He was bummed that he had been tricked but to me it shows what a fun little boy he is. His right arm is extended down pointing at the dog I am supposed to be taking a picture of.

Mojo

I have lost my blog mojo as well as my project 365 mojo. I really am bummed that I didn't get a project 365 kit, but if they do become available again I will start the project over at day 1 no matter what the date is. There have been digital kits for the project offered, but it is not what I had my heart set on.

As far as my blog mojo I need to get it back! I enjoy blogging, but somedays I just struggle with it. Anyone want to throw some blog mojo my way???

Day 7 Project 365

Tonight marks the 3 night this week that Eric has spent in the garage working on his mini sprint or one of Tyler's go-karts. Winter Nationals are getting closer and he is spending his evenings out in the garage getting the race cars ready. This is something that he truly enjoys doing. Got to love a hobby you love!

Day 6 Project 365

I was really stumped on what to chose for today's picture, but mysteriously a moment appeared to take a picture. Tyler had a story retelling to share with Eric and I. In school today they read a Ukrainian folktale, "The Mitten." So as he was retelling the story to us I was snapping away.

Day 5 Project 365

Can you see it?

What is he pointing to?

I know that it is hard to see and I used the focal black and white option in Picasa to help you see it. I don't think it worked very well, but it is there.

Reed made a pinecone bird feeder at daycare today. As soon as we got home we unloaded the things from the car and came right back outside to hang it in the tree. Now all we do is wait for the birds to find it and enjoy the seeds.

Day 4 Project 365

Time got away from me last night and I wasn't able to get my Day 4 picture posted, but don't worry the picture was taken on the 4th day and I just need to get it on here with the story behind it. :0)

Yesterday morning Eric and Tyler left to head northwest about 3 hours to purchase a new go kart and motor for Tyler. Tyler has been talking to both of us about how he would like to race a "bad guy" because of the safety factor. His other go kart that he will continue to race, sometimes, does not have a roll cage around it, nor buckles. Hopefully with him feeling much safer he will go out there and give the other racers a run for their trophy.

But that is not the only story that this picture tells...

While Eric and Tyler were off making their go karet purchase I took Reed to Snip Its to get a big boy haircut! He has always had a surfer cut (bowl) and my husband has never liked that type of cut. So this photo also marks a change from little boy to big boy haircut. Now I need to take Tyler and get his big boy haircut too. I am sad to see the surfer cut go with both of my boys as I like the look, but being a teacher I notice that surfer cuts are far and few nowadays.

Project 365 Giveaway (link inside)

So a few days ago (Jan. 2nd) I posted about how disappointed I was about not receiving one of Becky Higgins KOTM Project 365 because I had finally decided to take a giant leap (for me) in the world of scrapbooking. I have been obsessed since then with reading blogs that address the issue of the kits and so many disappointed customers. Of course I have not given up hope on getting a kit. Every part of my body that I can cross is crossed in hopes that they will sell more of these kits and I will be one of the lucky ones to be able to finally get one. I have been taking my daily photo for the day and have even convinced one of my closest girlfriends to do this with me.

Tonight on another blog that I follow I discovered a link to this blog clicky and if you would like a direct like to the giveaway post follow this link giveaway and boy was I ever excited to see that someone was offering a Project 365 kit giveaway! How kind! There are people on ebay that are offering kits in the $150+ range for buy it now. Just so sad. :0(

Anyway I thought I will try my luck, who knows I could be the lucky one and get to take my giant leap.
