Life with Instagram

I must admit one of my favorite things about my ipad, is the ap Instagram. It is so fun!

It may not be professional photo quality ;-) – but there is something fun and memorable about these square pictures.

Here is just a few from the past few days.

Visiting some sweet friends now.

So no time to blog.

However, I thought id post these few photos, taken at my mom & dads earlier last week.

I love having these memories & all of them since Christmas I hope to put into an album. It will be something I cherish.

I’m not sure what post number this is. I am sure somewhere on wordpress it tells me :) – but all I can say is wow does time fly.

2012?

This blog started in 2005… when I was just 21…

and Caleb was only a few months old.

Now he is over 7!

We are so thankful for how the Lord has blessed us this year.

2011 was filled with so many emotions its hard to even think back on at times.

But wow…. what a journey!!

We are so excited for what 2012 has to bring & pray that we will continue to grow.

Blessings everyone!

& for the sake of asking :) – does anyone have any 2012 goals?

I do!

but, ill save that for another day ;-)

Lack Of, but Not Really

There is a lack of internet connection where we are :)
however… it might be a good thing.

Time away with family is nice.

We’re enjoying it.

Fire Armed

IMG_1912My dad over the past few years has developed a like for guns. Don’t worry, hes normal :) – he just finds it fun and interesting to shoot targets. He is about to retire, so I think new hobbies are always good.

He set up a target practice in the garage of his house… and so while visiting I had a 1st time experience shooting a pistol.

It was a single shot pistol, so to those concerned with the photos of me holding the trigger pointing it towards the ceiling, don’t be :) – it wasn’t loaded or ready to fire.

I need to take a course on gun safety tho… and I think it be a fun date to go out with my husband to a firing range and shoot stuff.

Maybe we are all weird :)

Either way, we had fun.

Travis and my dad showed me the ropes 1st.

IMG_1914

I apparently didn’t notice how they were holding the gun…
When I get up to fire, this is how close I held it to my face…

IMG_1907

I guess im use to firing a camera ;-) – I was trying to look through the view finder, HAHA…

IMG_1909

I think both Travis and my dad were nervous.

however… lookie who hit the target a few times ;-) My target was the far left.

Thanks Dad for the experience ;-)
