10 in 10 for 10 - Day Four: Music Makers

The idea for today's 10/10/10 transpired over a friend's place.
Try to find 10 musical instruments in 10 minutes.
Done.

10 in 10 for 10 - Day Three: Rub A Dub

Day three of my 10/10/10 involves me and my little man having some good, clean fun.

10 in 10 for 10 - Day Two: In The Ghetto

Day two was a little more exciting for me.... I decided it would be fun to head to the ghetto for my 10/10/10.



***Disclaimer- All photos were taken from the safety of my car ~ LOL.

10 in 10 for 10 - Day One: Six Feet Under

In 2011 I would like to get back to blogging a little more, like I did when we were in Mayberry.

This first project idea came from Lola Nova who was originally inspired by Nancy of Fledge.

It's simple.... Take 10 photos in 10 minutes for 10 days.

No editing.

Just walk/see/shoot/look/post.

I can do that right? The hardest part will be posting photos without editing! Which is why I will only be using my little point and shoot- that way I have an excuse for crappy pictures.

For my first day I chose a cemetery down the road that we walk to every day when I have energy.

So, with my top photo being number one, here are the remaining nine.



FUN!

I Like It On Top

Who doesn't?

So I've come to the conclusion that 2010 was an extremely non-productive year for me, and I'm OK with that.

Basically I achieved 2 things:

1. I somehow managed to keep Henry alive for for an entire year, which is a pretty big deal considering I have never even been able to keep a Chia Pet growing for that long before.

So Kudos to me.



2. I had the highest score on one of my favorite blogs- "Along Life's Highway The Yard Art Game". Lord knows if there is anything that will always bring a smile to my face it's Yard Art- the tackier the better. Luckily my obsession with winning the game gave me something to do other than change diapers and do laundry and watch infomercials and mix formula for 365 days.

PHEW.



Thank you Life's Highway for making me take my camera with me more often in 2010!

And thank you Lola Nova for inspiring me to the first creative photography challenge of 2011....I will be posting very soon!

The Manger Heist

This was supposed to be my Christmas post.
That didn't happen.
Better late than never right?

For Henry's First Christmas we crashed the nativity scene at our local City Hall and placed him in the manger when he was only 4 weeks old. It was adorable.
Kind of wrong I guess, but adorable nonetheless.



This year I thought it would be fun to keep the tradition going with Henry @ 13 months to see how much he has changed in a year.

But he did not quietly sleep in the manger for us this time, instead he knocked over Baby Jesus in his attempt to silence Mary.



That's my boy.

Happy New Year!

Naughty Or Nice?

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Y'all!

The Griswolds

Last week the hubs and I took The Captain to Florida for a little 'vacation'.

HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA vacation? That's hilarious. Traveling several hours with a one year old is not even close to a vacation in my book. Why didn't someone tell me that before we left?

Anyway, here are a few of my favorite pics from Melbourne Beach and the ONE good shot from Disney....















.....as always, seeing Henry smile makes everything else worthwhile.

O.N.E.

SO VERY proud of myself for making 2 posts in a row that did not revolve around Henry.

Well, he turned ONE last Wednesday (11/17/10)..... so this post just *MIGHT* have to revolve around his party and his man boobs.







and YES- I KNOW he needs a haircut for the love of God- but daddy won't let me cut it yet. So until he does; Henry is simply known as Justin Bieber...... because the resemblance is uncanny LOL.



ok.....back to the party...











He had the BEST birthday and smash cake EVER made by the very talented Adrienne Bibb, owner of Addy B's..........Yo Gabba Gabba is the only TV show that has held his attention for more than 20 minutes.





I mean, she is so incredible that Our (HER) cake was featured on Yo Gabba Gabba's Facebook Page! I literally almost cried when people wanted to cut the cake and eat it. That's no joke.

I can't even believe that my little chicken has been here for a year already. It seems like only yesterday that I was announcing my knocked up condition!

My little boy is growing up so fast. SNIFF SNIFF.



So in honor of this most special day I decided to start a birthday tradition for us- each year on 11/17 Henry and I will strike a pose in a photo booth........I swear to God I will even make him do it when he is 25.



HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY MY SWEET HENRY!!


I love you more than life itself.

Gotta Love The South............?

You never know what you might see roll up in the fabulous state of Georgia....

A Peltmobile? Oh lucky day!















Even Henry was scared.

Extreme Makeover In Town
