Photo Hunt #30 - Shadow



DS1 skating backwards last winter. We get really beautiful winter days here.

Photo Hunt: Art



Art. When I think of this word, a picture of my children hard at work on their new creation came to mind. Of them painting my walls with their name or their art. These are a few which they commit to paper, and I happen to have a picture.

Photo Hunt #28 - Rare

This is my darling son, (DS3). It was late afternoon, he missed his nap, and this is what happens. Every one of my children have moments like this, but it's so rare, I think I only have one for each. DS4 is too young to have one, but I am sure he'll have one.

Roses are usually not rare. But when you're a serial plant killer gardener like me, a bloom like this is rare indeed. Are you familiar with the phrase, killing with love? I do that to my plants. This flower bloomed only because having six children in my house right now leaves me hardly any time at all to take care of my garden.

Photo Hunt #27 - Steps

About Theme: Steps Roll




I wish I live near these steps...these would be perfect in sculpting my legs without drying out my milk. This was taken at Gaylord ( I can't get past the name), a lovely convention center/resort nearby.

Photo Hunt #26 - Hobby




I like to crochet. I can listen to a books on tape and crochet at the same time...or while watching TV. This afghan I made for my sister.


I can't recall a time when I didn't love books. My mother bought me tons of books while I was growing up. She wasn't too thrilled when I was obsessed with them, I'd missed meals to finished them between exams and homework. I got my love of books from my Mama.


I took up knitting when I was pregnant with DS4. I learned it from a book. I even joined a dishcloth ring and made three dishcloth. I sent mine to Australia, and I got three from East Texas. It was lots of fun.

Photo Hunt #25 - Clean

Theme: Clean Become a Photo Hunter View Blogroll



DH and I like taking our family to our walk here. See how clean and pleasant this trail is. The two itty-bitty people in the picture are DD and DS1 skating ahead of us. This trail goes around the lake and we can see ducks and occasional geese and lots of birds there.

Photo Hunt #24 - Water


Theme: Water Become a Photo Hunter View Blogroll


I like this water park walkway near my house. The only problem I have with is the lack of fence. I took my kids walking there and it took just about all my attention and energy to make sure no one goes into the water. I had to fishing pole so fishing's out of the question.

Photo Hunt #23 - Empty



When DS4 was through investigating my bag, I got today's theme in my purse.

Photo Hunt #22 - Drink

Become a Photo Hunter View Blogroll




This is my baby's drink. It's not for every mother/baby, but it is the way things are for some of us.

It's sad how we're making a backward step for mankind. In Denmark, some places are banning breastfeeding. How would you feel if you're not allowed in restaurants because you swallow? I am just wondering if they're going to ban people from drinking in a sip-top bottle, too. I mean some of these bottle makers are making these spouts so much like nipples! Hey, what about taking out the bathrooms altogether?

Those are natural, yet truly "disgusting" things that could happen in an eating establishment. These sound so familiar-- you know, in the sixties involving segregation and color. Right!

Breastfeeding is natural. In fact, what is the objection? Is it the showing of breast? You can see more of these near swimming pools. Is it the babies sucking for their food? I don't understand what is so objectionable about it. I know it offends some people to see mothers' breastfeeding their babies. Then WTF are they doing staring long enough to get uncomfortable? Stop breathing why don't you if breastfeeding offends you so much!

Photo Hunt #21 - Architecture

Theme: Architecture Become a Photo Hunter View Blogroll



Right now, this is the only architecture I care about. I want to pack up some really good books, a nanny for my kids, and stay anywhere near an architecture like this one. The naked back's not bad, but I'd rather have me sunning myself with a good book, even a lousy one will do, as long as I'm near a beach! DH and I took this picture...this was actually just a background of a picture we took, and I am too lazy to open my storage file to get my architecture photos.

Where would you rather be right now?

Photo Hunt #20 - Salty

Theme: Salty Become a Photo Hunter View Blogroll


This was from a trip DH and I and DS2 took back in April of 2002. I can still recall the cool salty wind on my face.



These are taken somewhere between Miami Beach and Palm Beach.

Photo Hunt #19 - Soft

Theme: Soft Become a Photo Hunter View Blogroll

My daughter updated her podcast. She's doing weird news. You can listen to it by playing the selections on the podcast player on the right side. Choose the 2nd on down. The first one is her favorite Pokemon, which I am quite clueless. I like the news of the weird. Or is it weird news?

My baby is eleven months old. He loves to grab grown up food and eat it. He loves to dance. You can tell he's dancing as his butt shakes up and down to the beat. I am very sure his "Higa" is hello, and "Hag" is hi.

Oh, I'll be 34 in two days. Thing about birthdays after 30 is I try to keep a low profile because it's kind of embarrassing to be this old and still having birthday party. I like to have party for my kids, but I'd rather be having a quiet time doing things I love on my birthday.

Congrats to my Sweet Girl, she's on A Honor Roll! DS1 also has A average. They're both doing so well in school, we are proud of their efforts. Hurray for my darlings! Or should that be DH and I?

This is my DS1. The clay figure he's holding up? It was wonderful! Except it was soft, and DS3 amputated it.

My Photo Hunt #18 - Antique

Antique is usually defined as item that is over 100 years old, but around 80s, it's been defined as anything made before the outbreak of the second world war, pre-1940s.

I don't pay attention to these things. I wouldn't know an antique if it walks up to me and ask me to sit. So, going along the second, modernistic definition of antique, I give you the picture below.

This is the eldest of my mother's 6 sisters. It's really sad, but I am not sure what year she's born. I don't have a digital picture of my grandpa who's born in 1912. My Granpa might have been 22* years old when my Auntie Desideria was born. Here she is with her first-born's daughter, Darling. She is not an antique, she's my neice. No disrespect intended here. My Auntie Ceding is just the oldest person I have on digital picture at the moment.




*I realized my mother is sleeping here tonight, so I went and woke her up to ask when my aunt was born. She wasn't quite asleep, my baby woke her up, so I asked. Gad! What kind of child would wake up her mother for a photo hunt post information?!

This is what a family-sized bag of potato chips look like after my baby is done playing with it.

My Photo Hunt #15 - Silver

Well now, this is a hard picture to find. I hunted all over my digital albums, and nothing! I missed last Saturday's Wild Theme, and it looked like I'm going to have to missed this one too.

Then I remembered my unexpected visitor last Wednesday. He would sometimes visit my front yard at night. I think he's silver, don't you? And he's definitely "wild" too!

I would have taken a picture of my visitor with my baby, but I wasn't confident enough that he wouldn't bite my child.

My husband took this picture below. He finds it wild because of the ice bridge in the middle bottom and the water still flowing in the center above it.

My Photo Hunt #14 - Technology

Technololgy is sometimes good for children. It makes them learn things we would never have learned at their age. At least not in my generation, because even if we wanted to, some tech didn't exist yet.

DS2 managed to put together the mouse, monitor, keyboard so he could play on the computer. He was almost 2 years old when he did this. I dismantled my old computer because he was always playing. It's an advantage. It's also a time-sucker...like when I play around with my blog template because the other one's getting old.

Look at the last picture: There's always the artistic pursuit if technology don't pan out.

My Photo Hunt Vol. 13 - Memories

Looking back, there's lessons to be learned, foremost of which is to be happy with yourself. I've always thought of myself as either too thin, and then too fat! Here in these pictures below, 2 years before I got pregnant with DD, I thought I was really fat. I almost didn't want to take these pictures. My husband insisted, saying I was the most beautiful girl in the world. I didn't believe him of course. I am glad for the pictures now though.

Dang! If I should met myself then, I'd tell that girl that she's hot. She should be happy with herself. Now, numerous pounds, 6 pregnancies later, I'm truly "fat". Now, I am working on being "happy" with the now. Tomorrow will take care of itself...body-wise.
