She was busy…

May 18, 2011 by Elaine

…playing with the “old school” sprinkler system out front. This girl LOVES water. She could play in a cup of water with an ice cube in it all afternoon. Or a sprinkler thingy.  She’s fine with that too… (all pics SOOC) Linking up for Wordful Wednesday too, yo.

Clean faces are SO overrated

May 11, 2011 by Elaine

Sometimes I get lazy with my mothering.  You know, I don’t always change a diaper the very MINUTE I smell the stink. I don’t wipe the highchair off after every third meal. Sometimes I get yet ANOTHER sippy cup out of the cupboard after I know 3 or 4 have already been used that day….

Walking Together

May 9, 2011 by Elaine

The kids and I walk basically the same route around our neighborhood in the afternoons or early evenings whenever the weather is nice enough (meaning not too hot or humid at this point).  The boys ride their bikes and I pull K in the green wagon as we make our way around the few familiar…

Gardens & Weddings

May 4, 2011 by Elaine

I think I may have had a little bit of You Capture ESP as I went around taking pictures, OUTDOORS, in my mother’s front yard/gardens while in Texas at Easter.  I just love her statues and various knick-knacks that she has placed all around. Last Saturday we had the wedding of our friends.  Remember the…

Spring-alicious!

April 20, 2011 by Elaine

I love spring so much that I wish I could bottle it up and take it with me everywhere. And since it doesn’t last that long here in our part of the country I mean that even more than you might think. I promise you summer (or at least the heat of it) is JUST…

Hey kids, come over here so I can take your picture!!

April 13, 2011 by Elaine

I’m trying to follow in the footsteps of the lovely Steph and take pics of my kids on the third of every month (she does the fourth since she has four kids, so that’s why I usually do the third, get it?).   I don’t always post them here but I take them.  Except for…

My First Photo Shoot (well, officially anyway…)

April 11, 2011 by Elaine

Tim sent me a text a few weeks ago stating that a friend of ours wanted me to take photographs of her in her wedding gown. I believe my text back to him said something like exactly “She’s kidding, right?” She was not. So…. On Saturday the beautiful bride-to-be put on her gorgeous gown and…

Ponies & Flowers – WW & You Capture

March 30, 2011 by Elaine

Some of our good friends had a super fun birthday party for their son and daughter with a “western” theme on Saturday.  Ponies and all. Have you ever seen a soccer playing Cowboy?  Well, now’s your chance! I mean it doesn’t get much better than that, now does it? 😀 (he had to miss part…

Ahh, to be young again… WW & You Capture

March 23, 2011 by Elaine

The beauty of youth is all around me. Every day, in my children. I just hope and pray they keep me young.  There’s a saying… something about how youth is wasted on the young.  I don’t think it’s a waste at all…   Can you tell my camera is working again? 😉 These were all…
