Week 51 - "Hilarious Outtakes" Photo Challenge



This week at http://www.iheartfaces.com is Hilarious Outtakes!!! I haven't had anytime yet to check out the entries but I can't wait to go back and see them! I am sure there are going to be some funny ones! This week is different too because you get so have up to 5 photos!

Here are the entries I chose. It was not an easy choice as I had so many goofy photos but the idea was to enter "Unposed" entries and even though I have goofy photos most of them were posed by my goofy kids. All I say is Muscles... and they are trained to pose show us there muscles! Then I can say silly faces... and there you go.... a picture of silly faces. So I wanted to follow the rules... but apart of me wanted to enter other photos... that were not candid... So I decided to follow the rules (for once :D)and do.... VERY CANDID SILLY MOMENT PHOTOS!! Hope you enjoy!

This picture finally found it's place in I Heart Faces. I knew that one day I would enter this photo. I call this my "Evil Baby Photo!" And to be honest... I have NEVER seen her make a face like this i just happened to snap it at the right (or wrong depending on how you look at it) moment. LOL! So here is Lil Miss Evil Madison... aka... my little princess!

I loved this photo the moment I took it. We actually did these about a month ago for the girls' birthday. Even though I was posing the girls' for their 2 year birthday shots... Kylie did this shot on her own! Not sure what she was smiling about because her mom was behind me trying to get her to smile for a pretty princess picture... but this is what we got instead. And surprisingly... this is the photo we ended up using for the invitations even though our goal was for a "pretty smiling picture"
Yup.... he is doing what you think he is doing. He actually walked over to the corner of this area to hide from me. He knows he gets in trouble.... but of course I had to get a picture before I told him to stop.
Here is Ryan again! Here he was taking a bath and I see him putting a bucket on his head! He was being a Super Hero! Goofy kid!
Ryan made a lot of goofy pictures in this contest! But he is seriously my goofy kid! He has a million faces and all are silly! He is always the one in our family Christmas photo with the cheesy smile, or half closed eyes or the head turned away or looking up... Everyone has one of those in their family right!?! So here is my son.... thinking in the park... I think anyways!

Happy 7-Year Anniversary to Me and Josh!!


You know you are getting old when... you stay at home and sit on the couch for your anniversary! Yes how lame are we...

We had big plans to go out of town for our anniversary... but by the time it came around we were both just so tired that we decided to call it off. Josh has been working non stop for months now... and that leaves me home with the kids most of the time so when we finally got a night away from work and kids... all we wanted to do was sleep.

My wonderful mother brought me my favorite wine called "House Jam" It is sooo good! I don't like to drink anything.... but this wine tastes like kool-aid so I don't mind it. We got some Wisconsin Sharp Cheddar, Cream Cheese, Salmon and Crackers and that was our dinner! Sat on the couch talked and ate and drank wine... it was seriously the best Anniversary! Going out is so over-rated!!! :D
And while I was sitting here drinking my wine... I saw some cool photo ops... So I started taking pictures of my wine glass. Josh says I am nerdy! LOL! I probably am!



Meet Skeeter


Wow has so much happened in the last week! I have so much blogging to do! So in one week Josh and I celebrated a birthday, an anniversary, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, skiing, a new kitten and sadly Josh's mother passed away 10 years ago this week too so it has been a very eventful week! I will be posting a lot of pictures soon but I felt Skeeter deserved his own special blog post!

We rescued this kitty from going to the pound. He came from a loving family who could no longer care for him due to changes in their life. He is 4 years old and is so sweet and so adorable! So far my biggest complaint is he likes the kitchen counters (ugh!) and cleaning the litter box! But other then that he loves our family and loves to sit in our laps while we are sitting on the couch in the mornings drinking our coffee! He will NOT let you forget to feed him and will follow you around constantly and meow at you until you do! So funny!

My Grandpa Spoils Me

My kids are so fortunate to have a Grandpa that comes by once a week to visit with them. He spoils them with apples and grapes and cookies! Everytime Grandpa comes by Madison runs to the room and grabs books for Grandpa to read to her. It is so adorable to watch those two bond with each other.
She just adores him!

Christmas Lights Aren't Just for Trees!

Don't they also make great backgrounds for photographs!

Oh I just love these images. These are straight out of the camera too! This is little Olivia posing for me. Doesn't she have the most beautiful blue eyes! I just love this little girl... So lucky to be able to watch her one day out of the week!


Here is little Ryan hanging out by the fireplace! Love this thing in the winter. Keeps my house so hot we open windows in the house to cool it down!
I am thinking this photo will make a great texture for something.

Downtown Boise Tree Lighting Ceremony

This was the first time I had ever attended downtown Boise's Tree Lighting Ceremony. But this year I am so glad we went! They had hot cocoa, Christmas Caroling, lots of food! It was so much fun! I am just so thankful it wasn't that cold outside!


Somehow we all made it home without our hair or scarfs catching fire with all these kids carrying around candles! LOL!

I took this on the way back to the parking garage. So pretty!
This is a picture of all the kids racing to the bathroom!
