Sunday Snapshot

I love this picture of Allie taken at Harlow's birthday last weekend. I feel that the picture shows her since of style. She is wearing a princess dress running around a baseball field with a balloon tied to her tiara. How I wish I could keep her this age forever. With her graduation from Preschool this week I am realizing how fast she is growing up and am excited about what the future has in store for her but still wish she could stay little. My camera is a Canon SX10IS and my hope is to experience more with photo editing. This picture has no editing and is blurry but I love it anyway.

This week I decided to link up with the Ni Hao Yall Sunday Snapshot.

Bucket List

How can it be almost a month since I have blogged. I have sat down and tried to type something many times and have even tried to organize the pictures I wanted to post but it never got done. Everytime I have tried I have gotten interupted somehow. Summer is finally here at our house at least it is for Allie. Her last day of preschool was Tuesday and I am hoping to do a post about it soon. Even though I haven't been blogging myself I love reading other peoples blogs one of my favortie ones is Enjoying the Small Things by Kelle Hampton one of my goals for this summer is to read her book Bloom: Finding Beauty in the Unexpected Nick's school is having a fundraiser at Barnes and Nobel in a couple of weeks and he bought me a Barnes and Nobel gift card for Mothers day and so I am going to use that to buy her book. This week she blogged about a mini bucket list making a list of five things that you are looking forward to this week. I thought that this would be a fun way to start my blog every week this summer. So for the week of May 28 - June 2nd my mini bucket list is to: 1. Enjoy Memorial Day as a family. Scott is working two jobs again and so we are not going to see him that much this summer and he has Memorial Day off from both jobs. 2. Enjoy Allie's first week of summer vacation. I have been trying hard to organize the house and get the yard in shape I hope to take a little bit of time each day this week to do something fun with her. 3. Go to Nick's baseball game. He is having a great season. He got third place out of 100 kids in the skills challenge tournament he participated in a few weeks ago. 4. Nick school play is this weekend. I can't wait to see him in it all three times. 5. Have Harlow over for a playdate. Allie has been having so much fun playing with her lately. 6. Update the blog with Allie's preschool graduation. 7. Allie has kindergartin visitation this week. I am sure she is going to love it.
