A Candle for Bryson

You know when you're just perusing your blog list expecting to find funny anecdotes, or something random that your friend or family did in the last few days. Well that was what I was doing this morning, actually just looking for a hairstyle for my daughter and found something VERY different than what I was previously looking for. I found the story of a fellow military wife/blogger (that I do not know) that lost her 2 year old son just yesterday in a drowning accident at her home. This particular hair blogger that had posted the story about a friend said that if we wanted we could take a picture of a lit candle and send it on to this devastated mother just to let her know that people care, whether they know her personally or not. At first, I thought it would be alot of work to get out the bulky camera and do that, but then as I looked in my crumb-ridden 2 year old's face, I thought what it would be like without him and the imposition didn't seem so big anymore. So just a simple message for this mother. We will be praying for you here.

"Fishing" for Food




Can you just "picture" what this cat is thinking as we transfer our fish from upstairs to downstairs....it's like shooting fish in a barrel, right!!?? ;)

WHOOH!! Another One Down!!

Well since we all know, or in case you didn't I don't have a camera for me to tote around with and just shoot randomness whenever I want anymore...Chris has his big SLR and it's great but it's WAY too complicated for me so hopefully Santa will hear my "plea" for my own simple point and shoot and then maybe I will finally get pics of the awesome that occurs when I plan a church party, but until that time you'll just have to imagine the most decorated,seasonal,yummiest,most entertaining Christmas party you can imagine and then tone it down a few 1000 notches and that's what you can picture for our ward Christmas party. ;) But seriously, I was proud of myself for all the planning that went in to it, I think it turned out quite well, complete with a skit including many ward families and an orchestra playing Christmas music and OF COURSE the big red guy!! ;) So tune back in for pics of a Valentine party or something...I certainly hope to have a camera by then!! ;)
