From a kid's perspective
Sometimes when I look through pictures on my point & shoot camera, I am surprised at what I see. The kids like to take pictures and it's always interesting to see their perspective. I was looking through pictures the other day and was wondering who had taken them. I laughed hysterically when I found out. Let's take a look.
The TV... gotta get a picture of what cartoons we are watching today! Looks like a show any of the kids might watch.
The fireplace... I tried to zoom in on the picture to see if I could figure out who took the picture, but didn't have any luck!
Cody... I'm thinkin' Alex is the photographer. That makes sense. Moving on.
The fireplace mantle... well, Alex is a bit tall to have an angle like this. Maybe it was Josh or Mattea. Hmmmmmmm...
My Taylor Swift piano music book. Okay, I'm thinking I might have figured out the culprit of these fascinating photos. (Although, I do make the boys listen to Taylor Swift and they do know many of the songs!)
A little pink jacket hanging on a hook. Although, there are quite a few coats hanging there. I can't be too sure Mattea is my phantom photographer. Let's keep investigating.
AHA! Busted... a self portrait at an amazingly close zoom! A little cross-eyed, but that is definitely the divine
Miss Mattea!!! Apparently, when the camera is RIGHT in your face, it makes your eyes look a little crazy!
But, it also made me laugh. Hysterically. She just cracks me up!

Picture of the Day -- Week 12
March 20th – Mattea & Aunt Julie LOVE to get their toes painted together. Today, they went to get purple toes with Easter bunnies on their big toes. Unfortunately, the girls at the nail shop weren’t able to do bunnies, but the yellow flowers look very beautiful!
March 21st – Today was the last day of Aunt Julie’s visit. Joshie really wanted us to fondue for dinner. So, Jeff & Josh went to the store and brought back enough food for an army – steak, pork, crab, salmon, chicken, bread, potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower. We cooked the meat in the oil and dipped the bread & veggies in the cheese. Afterwards, we had some “sherbert” and enjoyed marvelous stories about the kids when they were babies.
March 22nd – It’s the little things that make me happy… like a sweet new pair of sunglasses! The fact that I got TWO pair of sunglasses for less than $5 by hitting a Buy 1, Get 1 Free sale plus using two coupons makes me even HAPPIER!!!
March 23rd – Uncle Terry came to visit today! Well, actually, he is not only visiting, but will be LIVING in Colorado for good. Terry starts his new job next week as an Electrician at Keystone Ski Resort. We are so proud of him and very happy that he’ll be living so close to us.
March 24th – Today is a wonderful day to celebrate our sweet, loving, sensitive, adorable, super, awesome middle child – JOSHIE! He turns nine today. He was anxious to open his cards and presents and was very grateful for everything he received. He’s one lucky boy! We love him to the moon and back!
March 25th - I was working on my Project Life scrapbook and I left the room to get something. When I got back, Cody was resting his head on my scrapbook. I guess he was looking for some attention!
March 26th - Josh had his eyes examined today. He was fascinated with all of the technology that is used for an eye exam. They had this cool machine that takes a picture of your eye instead of having it dilated. It was really neat to see the image of Josh’s eyeball.

Picture of the Day -- Week 11
March 13th – Alex & Mattea were watching TV and snuggling. She loves sitting on her brother’s back. They looked too cute!
March 14th – This is my view for much of the day today as I organized vacation pictures on the computer, edited pictures in Photoshop, updated the blog, loaded pictures to Snapfish and started creating a digital photo book of our Florida vacation.
March 15th – Josh and I were just getting ready to do our duathlon training. We hope to be ready by this July! We are following the Couch to 5k training program for the running portion. It consists of a warm-up, a combination of walking and jogging and then a cool-down.
March 16th – After not seeing Hanna for a week while we were on vacation and then even longer since Hanna was sick, Mattea was DELIGHTED to hang out with her BFF again!!!
March 17th – Aunt Julie came to visit!!! Apparently, she wore the kids out because Alex & Mattea fell asleep all snuggled up with her. (Happy St. Patrick's Day!)
March 18th – Aunt Julie took Joshie on his “birthday date”. They went to lunch at P.F. Chang’s and did some shopping at Southlands. Josh got a pair of sliding shorts for baseball. Apparently, that was only Part 1 of the date... there will be more shopping and a movie another day while she is in Colorado.
March 19th – After a week of 60-degree weather, the forecast for today was a high of 29 and a prediction of 7 – 14 inches of snow. Josh & Mattea decided to take advantage of the snow day and played outside. They had so much fun!

And here's the aftermath...
They are back in now and have kicked off all of their gear. I love the rosy cheeks! I don't like the wet, sloppy clothes!
Snow Day
After many 60 degree days, we are seeing some white stuff today and it has turned chilly again. We'll see what happens by the first day of Spring... you never know. Josh & Mattea decided to bundle up and play in the snow.
Happy Friday!!!
