Forth of July and a 'You Capture'

So... for the forth of July weekend we decided to:

go camping in the backyard

go to Lakemont and...

...ride some rides
me and Faith and Meg on the Tilt-A-Whirl (Faith was NOT a fan)
On the Tin Lizzys - we let Faith 'drive ...aaahhh

Faith and Meg on the kiddy rides
with Daddy on the merry go round
on the Ferris wheel
the view from the top
and bumper cars (me n Faith)
(Daddy n Meg)
...play some mini-golf

...and watched some fireworks

and we did relax a bit and I got this picture of the girls, it's my "You Capture" for this week:

this weeks theme was "America" and I can't think of anything more American then these girls :) Love them!

You Capture was designed to encourage those interested to pick up their cameras and try something new or just pick them up at all and snap a shot here or there. And not only that, but to see what others were doing with their camera and gaining inspiration from them. Go check out some of the amazing pictures there!

VBS 2010 - Saddle Ride Ranch

VBS was the week of the 13th through the 17th of June. Faith and Megan had a blast, though it was late every night (and Megan still had school that week) ... oh well

The theme this year was Saddle Ridge Ranch: Roundin' up questions, Drivin' home answers. Most of these pictures are of the decorations around the church, which were amazing. The boxes... the church we attend has committed to sending 10,000 Operation Christmas Child boxes this year. The VBS offering was taken to be able to actually send the boxes... $7 per box really adds up :) as an added bonus (for the kid's entertainment) the youth Pastor and a few others were doused with water balloons or with whipped cream pies for every 10 OCC boxes that the kids helped to send.

There were too many pictures to put them all into blogger, so I put them in a slide show for ya, enjoy!

You Capture ~ Chair

So I have been reading this blog for a couple of weeks, thanks to a PCOS friend (Alisha who's son is so cute!)

You Capture was designed to encourage those interested to pick up their cameras and try something new or just pick them up at all and snap a shot here or there. And not only that, but to see what others were doing with their camera and gaining inspiration from them. Go check out some of the amazing pictures there!

So this week the theme was a choice between chair, hands or green.

Our focal chair of late has been Holly's high chair. Faith and Megan just love to entertain Holly while she is in it. I love it because it was given to us right after Faith was born (hey, anything baby related that you DON'T have to buy is a bonus) and I LOVE how rustic it looks, and that it has held up through my older two, plus who knows how many kids before that and is still going strong for Holly. So here is my chair picture for this week :)

More stuff coming later...
