Day One Hundred Fifty Eight

I am happy with a few of the fireworks shots I got on the Fourth of July. They are hard to get a decent picture of!


One Hundred Fifty Nine



One Hundred Sixty

Super cute belly button.


One Hundred Sixty One

They just melt my heart.


One Hundred Sixty Two

From our second anniversary dinner at Melting Pot!


One Hundred Sixty Three



One Hundred Sixty Four

This is my family's kitty, Ginger. We have had her since I was in middle school. She is such an old lady now.


One Hundred Sixty Five

Since it is so difficult to get a decent picture of Ginger, I am posting two of them. I LOVE this one.

Picture a day

Time to play catch up! I have just not had any time to edit or post pictures this past month, so I am gonna try and catch up on my picture a day project. I had grand jury duty and then Mario's mom came in this past week. No time! Terrible excuses, I know.

Grand jury was a great experience. It took up two days a week for eight hours and was emotionally draining. However, I left with a greater sense of faith in my community and the law enforcement here. They are amazing.

Anyways, on with the pictures!



Day One Hundred Fifty One

my favorite (and toughest!) subject.

Day One Hundred Fifty Two

Isn't that little tuft if hair on his head neat? I wonder if that is something that species of duck normally has, or if only he has it?

Day One Hundred Fifty Three

I just love this park we found recently! I need to get some models over here!


Day One Hundred Fifty Four

One of the native to Oregon flowers that I planted this spring. I am quite proud of them, LOL.


Day One Hundred Fifty Five

Another flower from the ones I planted as seeds this spring.


Day One Hundred Fifty Six

I just think this picture is hilarious!


Day One Hundred Fifty Seven

She loves Jamba Juice! She took over my drink.

Day One Hundred Nineteen

Charlotte just loves water! I have a feeling there will be many pictures this summer of her playing in the water. This is one of those fountains in the ground that the kids can play with at a local park.


One Hundred Twenty

A tree in our neighborhood.



One Hundred Twenty One

This took a little bit of a hike to get to, but isn't it pretty? It's the Bridal Veil Falls in The Columbia Gorge.

Day Ninety One

Thes mushrooms were on the side of the path at one of the parks we like to go to. This is one of my favorite recent shots!


Day Ninety Two

Oops! I almost forgot to take a picture this day! Good thing one of my kitties was being a willing model.


Day Ninety Three

Today was one of my best friend's birthday, and we went to OMSI to celebrate!

This was a body that's different body parts lit up when you pushed corresponding buttons. I had never been but had been meaning to go for forever. We had so much fun!



Day Ninety Four

My daughter Charlotte again. Her hair is always this crazy. I just can't control it! She loves to play in this little fountain we have outside.


Day Ninety Five

Details.

Her long, beautiful eyelashes don't come from me unfortunately!


I just love little bows.

Day Seventy Seven, Day Seventy Eight, Day Seventy Nine, Day Eighty, and Day Eighty One

Day Seventy Eight

My youngest brother Nathan.





Day Seventy Nine

A family friend of ours owns these pugs, but my mom is baybysitting them for a while.



Day Eighty

This little guy was running around outside Sweet Tomatoes! He posed for me.


Day Eighty One

Just practicing on Charlotte again.

Day Seventy Four, Day Seventy Five, and Day Seventy Six

Day Seventy Four

Easter! Here she is in her Easter dress.

Day Seventy Five

The power lines went down right behind our house. The pole was laying across the wires in the middle of the street! You can see the tree that was burned a few days ago in the background.

Day Seventy Six

Bleeding Hearts from our front yard.

Day Sixty Eight, Day Sixty Nine, Day Seventy and Day Seventy One

Day Sixty Eight

This is a custom made shirt for Charlotte's first birthday! It was made by a girl named Amanda who runs a business on ETSY called Slice of Lime Designs. You can check out her shop here:

Slice of Lime Designs

Her stuff is so cute. This shirt matches Charlotte's first birthday theme (cupcakes) perfectly!


Day Sixty Nine

Someone started two fires across the street behind our house! The fire department came and everything. This is exactly why I don't like living so close to the MAX station (the light rail commuter train here in Portland). Too many people walk by our house.



Day Seventy

Charlotte's Birthday!! I cannot believe she is one already. This has been the fastest year of my life. I can't wait for many more years, and many more birthdays! Here she is wearing her custom shirt.


Day Eighty

The clouds looked so gorgeous today! The park was begging for a visit. Don't worry, Charlotte is being supported. Mario was standing behind her.

Day Fifty One, Day Fifty Two, and Day Fifty Three

Day Fifty One
This is a big tower of clocks at the Portland International Airport


Day Fifty Two
My second skill building session! This is Trina and her son Kylen. More to come of them soon!


Day Fifty Three
One of Charlotte's many toys. This one was given to her by Grandma Virginia for Christmas!
