I've failed miserably at keeping up with my blog, but I DO want to say that it's because we've been enjoying the heck out of summer. So far we've enjoyed time at the lake, the water park, the library, at VBS, and finally the girls spent 2 weeks at Kanakuk for the first time ever and they loved every minute! More on all that later, but for now, I want to show off what just arrived in my mailbox. I love happy mail days! </div>

This one's the latest kit from Noel Mignon called <a href="http://www.noelmignon.com/collections/noel-mignon-featured-items/products/south-shore-kit" target="_blank">South Shore</a>. It's fabulous! And it's going to be perfect for all the pics I've taken this summer. Stay tuned because pretty soon we're having a summer online crop, and I'll be using this one up for sure! </div>

It was a good time for everyone--hot, but good. Here's a little bit of what it looked like.<br />
<br />
The first day we were at Nana's, where all the kids played hard in the water. I LOVE seeing them on the rafts together, because I know it'll be so fun to look back on one day. <br />

The next day there was even more playing in the water at Grandmother and Granddaddy's house. Once again the inflatable boat was popular as well as the water guns. There was also a good bit of fishing, but it was the daddies who caught the big ones of the day (and no pictures to prove it). </div>

Later in the day we rode in the boat all the way to Clear Creek to visit even more aunts, uncles and cousins. 2 of the boys fell asleep on the boat, so the others played without them.<br />

And then we went home to celebrated the boys' birthdays (they're born exactly a year and a week a part) with the whole family. Sad to say that because of this, Mac hasn't ever really had a "true" birthday party. We're hoping to change that soon though.</div>

And then it was time for fireworks. We celebrated both at Nana's on the true 4th with sparklers, and then watched the Duncan Bridge show from Grandmother's front porch on the 5th. I'm combining all my firework/sparkler pics together in to one section.<br />

At first the kids didn't like it because the first of the bushes had really tart berries on them. Eventually we realized that we should taste-test the bushes to find which ones we liked the most. So it wasn't unheard of for one of us to shout, "HEY!!! I found a gooood one!" and a few kids would come running to help pick all the ripe berries. Here are my favorite pics. <br />

Ack! SO I'm going to post the final two along with the previous ones for earlier in the month. The thing I love most about Noel's kits is that I can EASILY create 4+ layouts without skimping on paper or embellishments. So here are my June layouts, 2 of which are making their first appearance here. (If you'd like upclose pics or design details, feel free to check out the <a href="http://noelmignonlayouts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Noel Mignon blog</a>. )<br />

VERY soon I'll come back and fill in all the happenings from the rest of June. We went berry picking, hiking at a local state park, lots of trips to the pool, and more. Those pictures will be coming soon.<br />

Today is my day to post over on the <a href="http://noelmignonlayouts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Noel Mignon blog</a> and I thought I'd share one of my favorite pics of Caroline
doing what she loves best--drawing and coloring. I got my inspiration
from the photo itself as well as the green "happy" overlay found in the <a href="http://www.noelmignon.com/collections/noel-mignon-featured-items/products/balboa-kit">Balboa kit</a>.<br />
<br />
Have you SEEN the Balboa kit?? I love this kit so much for all it's bright bold colors and patterns and I wanted my layout to reflect that.<br />

Also,
as my scrapbooking has evolved over the years I've found that I like to
focus on my photos first and foremost and let the design revolve around
them. Today's layout is no different. I chose to layer 3 different
patterned papers behind my picture and then bring in even more color
with the top and bottom borders. Since the "happy" overlay wasn't quite
the size I needed it to be, I cut away the frame and used the word as a
part of my title. I'm all about making my kit work for me! Plus it's fun
sometimes to deconstruct embellishments and use them in new and
different ways. <br />
<br />
<br />Well that's all for me. Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!<br />

</div>
Whenever there's a creek nearby my kids a sure to be in it. They can't resist exploring new places especially when it's a creek. So the other day the girls were invited to a friend's house and told to bring their swimsuits because they'd probably wind up in the creek. Wind up they did, and I got to sneak a few shots of them playing. <br />

I love that they love the outdoors and enjoy exploring. I did too when I was their age and it's a fun way to grow up. Creeks are just another reason to love summer!<br />

</div>
Hi everyone!! I've got a celebratory layout using the brand new Noel Mignon <a href="http://www.noelmignon.com/collections/noel-mignon-featured-items/products/balboa-kit">Balboa kit</a> to share with you today.<br />
<br />
This Spring I helped coach Caroline's softball team and we ended up winning the end-of-the-year tournament! We'd started a tradition last summer of taking selfies before the season and before big games. So Caroline and I took a selfie BEFORE the championship game (the one on the left) and then AFTER the game when we'd won the whole tournament. She was so excited to win a medal! It was a super fun moment, one I'll always remember, and I'm so glad we got to share it together!<br />

I kept the color scheme pretty simple, and chose to highlight the pictures, the fun green and yellow embellishments as well as the black chalkboard elements that come in the <a href="http://www.noelmignon.com/collections/noel-mignon-featured-items/products/balboa-kit">Balboa kit</a>. I love the the chalkboard adds texture to go along with the brads, rub-ons, and the different printed patterns. I had fun making this one. Be sure to check out the <a href="http://noelmignonlayouts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Noel Mignon blog</a> to see what the other designers are doing with this kit too! <br />

Hope you have a great weekend!<br />

Early on we adopted the phrase, "Nature stays in nature" because I would often find rocks, blades of grass, butterfly wings, etc. in the house. So we had to put a rule in to place--NONE of that in our home. God gave them a home. So nature stays in nature. <br />
<br />
So far the girls have done pretty well at following that rule. But that doesn't stop them from enjoying nature and searching for creatures. In fact, now, because of that rule, there are many a Mason jar covered with aluminum sitting on our back patio. Last night they went in search again, this time for roly poly-ies (however you spell that). I followed with the camera.<br />
<br />
Apparently the neighbor's garden is the best place to find a roly poly. <br />

I grew up spending my summers there, a towel clothes-pinned at my neck pretending to be a super hero. When the cousins were there we'd most likely be found waist-deep in the mud, searching for arrowheads of which we found many, or playing Love Boat on the dry docked boat parked in the garage.The lake is also the place where I most vividly remember my great grandparents, their little camper parked next to my aunt and uncle's house, and sitting with them on the porch swing.<br />
<br />
As much as the lake holds a special place in my heart, it will also hold that lure and nostalgia for my kids. It's quickly becoming their favorite summer hangout as well. Here's a sneak peek of how we spent the weekend, again with my cousins--only we've become the parents now. ;)<br />

The girls had a jumping contest. Of course I was the judge and got to name the next jump, which usually involved some sort of twist so I could capture their jumping faces. "Cannon Ball!" "Twist!"" and now "Cannon Ball Twist!" The one I really wanted was of them holding hands and jumping. But I missed the shot. Several times. But I'm not giving up.</div>

The SEC baseball tournament is hosted nearby and with Ole Miss in the mix, we thought we'd take in a game. The kids started off doing well, and turns out we saw some friends at the ballpark. But as the game wore on we were trying to find ways to keep their attention, or at least their attention off of more food. Hence the ladybug and the change in seating. <br />

And that was our ballpark experience. We learned to take lots of cash for food, and to be sure and meet up with friends so that the kids can entertain each other.<br />

So I thought I'd do a quick run down of ALL this month's work using the Carousel kit. One thing I love about Noel's kits is that THEY. ARE. PACKED with product! I don't think I've ever created this many layouts and projects with just one kit. And I haven't fully used it up yet! Craziness. Here's peek at what I got done this month before I move on the the super colorful <a href="http://www.noelmignon.com/collections/noel-mignon-featured-items/products/balboa-kit" target="_blank">Balboa kit</a>. (Hurry, it's still available and I have a feeling it's going to be well-loved at my house. ;) )<br />

<br />
I'm up on the <a href="http://noelmignonlayouts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Noel Mignon blog</a> today with a Mother's Day layout inspired by the Embrace the Camera movement on Instagram.<br />
<br />
The ETC movement initiated from a blog post written Ashley Ann the author of the <a href="http://ashleyannphotography.com/blog/" target="_blank">Under the Sycamore</a> blog. Ashley Ann encouraged moms to jump in the pictures WITH their kids--no matter what their hair looks like, even if they don't have on make-up or what the house looks like--but to GET IN THE PICTURE! It's those memories of everyday activities, that the kids will want to remember when they look back through our albums one day. On Instagram those pictures are hashtagged with #embracethecamera.<br />

So I've taken that challenge and have tried to be more intentional about getting in pictures with my kids. THEY love selfies, so that's what we do. I've also tried to mix up the scenarios a little bit by taking a selfie of all of us in carpool or laying in the grass (that's what these two pictures are of). And if I admit it, I really do like that I'm forcing myself to capture these shots too. I like seeing myself with my kids in our everyday environments, or just being silly with them. So here's my layout of 2 of our #embracethecamera selfies.<br />
<br />

<br />
Details about the layout: I used a neutral palette with the pops of blue from the <a href="http://www.noelmignon.com/collections/kits" target="_blank">Carousel kit</a> (sorry, sold out) to create a fun whimsical LO. Keeping with an Instagram theme, I layered my layout on a white cardstock border, added a few mists to the kraft paper and lots of hand-drawn squigglies around the pictures and edges. <br />
<br />
SO, This Mother's Day weekend, I want to encourage you to get out there and Embrace the Camera with your family--your kids, your mother, and other generations if you have them. I really believe it's a big deal to leave a legacy for our kids, and what better way to evidence it than by taking a picture with them. Go. Embrace the Camera. Capture your memories. Love on your family!<br />

Today is my first post on the <a href="http://noelmignon.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Noel Mignon blog</a>, and I get to wrap up "May flowers" week with a layout I created using some non-traditional flowers. I layered several embellishments from the <a href="http://www.noelmignon.com/collections/kits/products/carousel-kit">Carousel kit</a> to create my "flowers".<br />
<br />
Here's a peek at the Carousel kit: <br />

And here's my first layout using it:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here I created 2 layered non-traditional "flowers" to go along with the newsprint vellum flower from the kit. To get the first layered flowered look I used a MME green flower sticker and 2 MME chipboard buttons. For the second layered "flower", if you can call it that, I hand-cut the pink hearts from the Glitz Carpe Diem paper and layered it underneath the wood veneer sentiment. <br />
<br />

The third layered flower is on the other side of the photo, and again I stacked a coral MME sticker with two MME buttons. <br />

<strike>In case you haven't snagged your <a href="http://www.noelmignon.com/collections/kits/products/carousel-kit" target="_blank">Carousel kit </a>yet, I heard a rumor that there was ONE left in the shop. </strike>Sorry, it's now sold out. But it's also not too late to sign up for a 6-month subscription to Noel's fabulous kits. <br />
<br />
Thanks for letting me share! Hope you have a fantastic weekend!<br />

It's just easier for everyone to go there since my grandparents can't drive. SO after church we loaded the kids up and drove an hour or so up to the lake. After we ate, the kids, mainly Caroline, insisted on going fishing. So that's what we did. It was Mac's first time to really attempt to fish, so I mainly snapped his pics. His facial expressions were hilarious since at 3 he's not very patient. Then my lens broke. As in died. So I don't have pics of the egg hunt. :( Nor do I have pics of the kids with their grandparents and great grandparents. :(<br />
<br />
But here's what I DO have in pictures.<br />
<br />
The kids were coordinating. Caroline's skirt is the same gray chevron as SK's dress.<br />

And then my lens broke. :( So I don't have your typical Easter pictures, but I'm happy to have these. Now we can't wait to get back up to the lake when the fish are actually biting.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned because tomorrow I get to share my very first layout with my new Noel Mignon kit! I'm still pinching myself that Noel asked me to be a part of the team.<br />
<br />
Happy Thursday!!<br />

The kids got to meet Sir Topham Hat, play with bubble wands, have story time with Thomas, play a version of putt putt golf, and we had a picnic in there too. Towards the end of the day we let the kids climb on the old trains, ring their bell, and imagine driving the trains. Here's what that looked like.<br />

It was a great way to finish off our break, and a huge bonus was that our cousins came in town to join in the fun. I took so many pics that I'll share the first half today and more tomorrow. But here's how the cold, windy day went.<br />

While waiting on our turn to ride the train, we hit the tent that housed table after table of trains. There were probably 25+ train tables each with different Thomas accessories for the kids to play with. I think my guy could've stayed there forever, he loved it so much. <br />

Then it was time to go ride the train. Mom bought all the kids their own conductor's hat, which turned out pretty cute even if it did bend all their ears forward. <br />

I'll stop here for now. The train ride was definitely the hightlight, but there was a lot more that we got to do too. So I'll share those tomorrow.<br />

I needed to get caught up with stuff around the house and run a few errands, and the kids all needed new shoes.We went to Target to get our copy of Frozen where they also just so happened to have a BOGO 1/2 off sale on shoes and we were all excited when we each got a new pair. Why is it that I go to Target for one thing and end up with a buggy-full by the time I'm ready to leave?! That was definitely the case with this trip. In the afternoon we met up with a sweet friend of ours at the park and the girls enjoyed playing on the tire swing.<br />

I'm not even in the same LEAGUE with <a href="http://www.snapshotsofagoodlife.com/index.cgi?p=classes" target="_blank">Karen Russell</a>, but having taken her class twice now, I can say that she's seriously influenced my shooting. I even got brave enough to venture out to a store with my "big" camera and take pictures. Ha! It's the little things I guess. But I'm thankful that I was able to capture a normal day in the life, because I really adore the way I captured C helping Mac try on his shoes or the way SK was trying on every stinkin' pair of ladies shoes that had an ounce of bling on them. Those are the tiny tid bits that I'd more than likely forget if I didn't have a picture. So I'm thankful for Karen and her encouragement to take our cameras with us, even if we look like a crazy lady shooting on our stomachs in the middle of the aisle at Target. In this case, it was worth it. :) </div>

It just so happened that it was also her 85th birthday! We spent the day painting, one of her favorite things to do, since it was super cold and windy. The kids also loved banging out "songs" on the piano, the tambourine, and using one of the old hymnals laying around. The next day we were able to get outside a bit more, and I enjoyed the chance to capture a few shots around the farm. The kids walked to the mailbox with Maw Maw (a benchmark in growing up since the mailbox is a ways away), and enjoyed picking her a bouquet of daffodils. It was a really good visit, and I'm glad we were able to go.<br />

I included a pic of C eating straight out of the bowl because we found out that she has a huge appetite for homemade cheese grits to the point where she ate what was on her plate and went straight for the bowl! lol! It was cute. Both mornings Maw Maw made us a traditional "farm" breakfast that we've all come to love. There's nothing like waking up on the farm to the smell the bacon, biscuits and gravy!<br />
<br />
And so goes days 2 and 3 of Spring Break.<br />

It was COLD most of the week, so I was glad we chose to stick close to home instead of heading to the lake or the beach. Here's a quick review.<br />
<br />
Day 1: We had a play date with a big group from church at a super huge playground that has a 3-story slide, although the kids played on the merry-go-round almost the entire time. Then it was a treat to get Sonic since we don't have one anywhere near our house and we miss the times when we used to get slushies in Chattanooga. So it was a fun treat to eat at Sonic. Then we headed to Bass Pro where I thought we'd JUST go to see the fish. WRONG. We ended up spending almost 2 hours there looking at the animals, live and stuffed, practicing our shooting skills at the shooting range, and then after checking out the boats and ATVs we got some ice cream. Yes, slushies and ice cream all in one day. I didn't realize it until it was too late. But those ice cream pics are some of my favorite from the week. The last event on Day 1 was a softball game out in Trussville. I don't have pics of it because I was coaching.<br />

Oh, and I forgot to mention that SK has a big band-aid over her eye because she fell on the playground at school 30 min. before school let out for Spring Break resulting in 6 stitches and a good story to tell.<br />
<br />
Be back with Day 2 tomorrow!<br />

They were just talking, sharing secrets, and enjoying each other's company. Moments like these are somewhat rare but so precious.<br />

This is mainly for my own personal enjoyment since I've really been working on improving my photography. And even though Karen really encourages us to capture our everyday selves, I still really enjoy portraits. BUT I'm attempting to do better about the everyday stuff too. And I like a good challenge.<br />
<br />
Here are some that I took yesterday, all within about a 10 min. frame of time.<br />

So this is how I found the kids watching TV the other day. This used to
be a familiar scene before the girls went to school, but it MAY have
been McClain's first one. And he loved it.
So of course in an effort to capture more "everyday us" shots, I pulled out the camera. I asked them to peek out, and this is what I got. Love it! </div>

And yes, the wall of boxes is still there. But that's not the point. Practicing with the camera, capturing who we are IS the point, which is why I'm posting.<br />
<br />
Hope you're all having a great weekend!<br />

I've been pulling it out for the littlest of things trying to capture a taste of what it's like around here everyday. I love that <a href="http://www.snapshotsofagoodlife.com/" target="_blank">Karen's class</a> is forcing me to do it. I'm learning so so much! Here's few I got last week while working on composition. (These are SOOC like Karen encourages us to do. Hopefully I'll have time to go back later and edit them just a bit.)<br />
<br />
These first few were for our Week 1 assignment: <br />

(All giggles. And right as I shot this McClain walked into the frame with the bucket of chalk. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're going to call that more creative framing. Ha! I still love her little expression though. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally a NATURAL one of her.)</div>
<br />Again, these are SOOC (straight-out-of-the-camera, for those of you who don't speak photography) so they're not edited in any way. Just being in the class for 3 weeks now has made me realize how hard it can be to get a technically "good" photograph while trying to capture 3 busy, semi-cooperative little beings.<br />
<br />
But it's been SO fun! I'm a sponge soaking it all up, and I have to say, it's brought me a lot of joy where there really hasn't been these last few months. This class has been a big bright spot for me and something I look forward to every day. I'm very blessed to be taking the class and so far I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in bettering their photography skills. <br />
<br />
Thank you, Lord, for the little things, the passions you plant in our hearts and then let us explore. What a gift!<br />
