365 Photos

Here are the first 4 photos that I uploaded to the 365 Project website:

I'm really excited about this project. I've been wanting to improve my photography skills for a long time. I actually carry my camera with me all the time now since I finally got a camera bag that I love (and it's purple) and this project forces me to take a picture everyday.  I have no real theme right now, but I'm thinking of some that I might want to try. We'll see what happens.  If you want to follow my 365 Project, you can click here and follow it there or here which ever you prefer.  I'm going to try and post both places, but I'm not promising that they will end up here. I'll add a link to it on the blog though.

Gonna try something new...

So I've been wanting to do this for awhile and have finally decided to give in and try it.  it's called Project 365 and it's taking a picture everyday for a year. The picture can be anything you want.  I've been wanting to do something similar but never got around to it. If you want to check out the photos I post, click here.  I will also probably  try and post them on the blog too.

Lucy's antics....

Lucy has had some fun days at her preschool the last few days.  She got to dress western last Friday.

And then today right before we left for school, I remembered that it was show-n-tell day and I checked the calendar. To my surprise, she's supposed to dress like she's in a circus today! GREAT! Here's what we came up with. She apparently decided she was a sad clown.

 

So typical of her.....

On Sunday, she was being silly and I found her like this...

I still have no idea what she was doing.

Daniel and EmmaLee did great the last TKD tournament. I'm sure you've seen these pictures already, but you have to see them again.

 

The students are bracketed according to age, weight and belt rank. 

EmmaLee won the gold medal in patterns for her bracket, and Daniel won the silver in patterns. That's his friend Robbie with him in the picture. He won bronze in patterns.

Homeschooling addition

Well, I haven't updated in awhile, but I wanted to let everyone know that we have officially told EmmaLee that she will be homeschooling starting in January.  We thought she'd completely freak out and by hysterical and need all of Thanksgiving break to get used to the idea. But she surprised us and said, "okay". She said that she knew she'd be homeschooled eventually she just didn't think it'd be so soon. 

We went on a really cool field trip a couple of weeks ago, so I'll post pictures soon. I've been busy updating my mom's blog instead of my own.

Halloween and Other Stuff

On Friday, October 30th Lucy class baked bread. It was a ton of fun and the kids really enjoyed it. The bread was pretty good too.

Well, better late than never on the Halloween post!  EmmaLee and Lucy both dressed up as a Texans Cheerleader. EmmaLee went to my mom and stepdad's house to Trick or Treat with a friend.  Lucy and I went to the Go Fish concert. It was a ton of fun and we went Trick or Treating after the concert.  Danny and Daniel went to Grant and Collin's house.

My blog is having trouble uploading pictures, so I'll do the rest in a separate post.

Renaissance Festival

Daniel has done hardly any work this week because we've been goofing off.  On Wednesday we went to the Texas Renaissance Festival. I pulled EmmaLee out of school and we went to the Renaissance Festival with Cari, Brandon, DeAnna, Grant, Collin and our friends Valerie, Robbie and Morgan.

We had a really great time. The kids watched a jousting match, rode an elephant, went through a giant maze and spent tons of $$. Oh, and EmmaLee had her hair braided. It looked so beautiful. Even the next day it looked good.

Here are the pictures.

 

 

Busy Weekend

Well, this has been quite a busy weekend for us. Saturday we got up early and went to the kids TaeKwon-Do Tournament that started at 9:30. Daniel has to judge or keep time or score for the first half. He has to wait til the end to compete.  EmmaLee competed after about an hour and a half. Oh and did i mention we took Lucy with us???? She was actually very well behaved, but started hitting the wall at lunch time. Luckily Granddaddy (a.k.a. Kim) showed up and took her back to their house for a nap.  EmmaLee got a silver medal in patterns, she messed up on her last try and lost the gold because of it.  Then she competed in a team pattern and won the silver in that as well.  Daniel didn't place in any of his events, but he tried hard and that's what matters to us.

On Sunday, Danny went to the Texans game, but left early and came home so we could take Daniel and his cousins, Grant and Collin, to the Star Wars In Concert. It was a symphony playing the Star Wars music with a narrator telling a story and they showed clips from the movies in the background. It was worth the overpriced tickets and we had a lot of fun. The performance was amazing.

Here are pictures below of all our fun!
