90 days of photos

90 days? Really? That's the furthest I could go on the "photo a day" challenge? Apparently so. Honestly I think it was probably better than I expected. I mean, a photograph every single day? It's actually more difficult than it sounds. I started off strong. Wanting to photograph every single thing I came in contact with, but within a month the "excitement" or the "newness" of the challenge wore off. I began dreading finding something worthy of a photograph; let alone blogging about it. I'm obviously not a great blogger as it is anyway. To spare everyone (or anyone that would ever come across my blog and be fascinated enough to read it) the all time consuming viewing of my photographs from day 91 through today, day 334, I'll just say that I have taken many photos and some were great, some were mediocre but most were not worthy, hence deletion. Oh well. I doubt you missed out on anything and if you are one of the handful of people who actually read this blog... then you already see all of my photographs on Facebook. Now, what should my next challenge that I purposely fail be????? Mel

#365PhotoChallenge Day {90}

This morning I sat on my patio enjoying the sunshine and had OJ mixed with #LeBrons #Sprite in my #RedSoloCup wine glass and pretended it was a #mimosa and I was in #Aruba...

#365PhotoChallenge Day {85}

The Notre Dame Irish and the Wichita State Shockers play basketball today. I'm a fan of both so I have to choose which to root for and which clothing to wear.  I have many choices... In the end I went with my beloved Irish, but I DID clap for the #SHOX when the scored baskets! 


#365PhotoChallenge Day {84}

I found this poem today titled "Light." It was inspiring and beautiful. 


#365PhotoChallenge Day {83}

Today KJ got his soccer jersey from his coach. He looked at the number on the back and says, "Sweet! I got #Aaron #Rodgers!" Yep, we're raising him up right! 


#365PhotoChallenge Day {82}

Today KJ wrote a note to the tooth fairy when he couldn't find his tooth he lost. (Which I'm pretty sure the dog ate it off his bed) He's apologizing to the tooth fairy for losing his lost tooth. Lol

My husband got his Ancestry.com DNA results back today. Looks like he is from Europe!!! Lol. No Native American like his family believed. It was long believed that his German ancestors came from Scandanavia. That looks to be about right. The 1% Jewish has to be a reflection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. But, most importantly (in my opinion) he's 5% Irish!!! Erin Go Bragh

Seventh grade spring pictures for Koen. So handsome. I can still see my little boy in him, but he is definitely on his way to becoming a man.

This is what my son does when he loses a wrestling match. He's the grey hoodie pulled over his head in the upper bleachers. All his teammates are cheering on the team. Oh, the frustration he feels...

My Irish Claddagh ring. I've worn it for over 21 years now. It has became a part of me and I'd totally miss it if I lost it. 


#365PhotoChallenge Day {60}

I can't stand laundry. But with six people in our household it is at least a twice-daily event. And after a snow filled weekend of sledding, it was a five-load day. So I broke the washer and ended up at the laundromat.

#TheDress that took the world by storm was supposed to be a question of do you see #WhiteAndGold or #BlackAndBlue. Funny thing, but  I seem to only see in #BlackAndWhite

Koen wrestling varsity for Mulvane Middle School. 

#365PhotoChallenge Day {55}

Koen decided to wear shorts, short sleeve button down shirt, and Nike slides with no socks when it was super cold outside. It was 33 with a windchill of 20 and 26 mph winds. So I made him pump fuel and stay outside while the car filled up. He was running around to stay warm. Sad thing is, I don't think he learned anything except that without socks his toes are cold. ;)

My bracelet I won from #Heathers$5Bling   I love it. It says #Faith and has braided bands. Very cute.

Celery. Black and white celery from Buffalo Wild Wings. When celery is super cold, it is really good.
