Day 4 - Post a pic of you in your favorite outfit.

This one is the easiest so far! :))

...and a drum roll please...

Hands down, the most favorite outfit i've ever worn was my {{Wedding Gown}} I felt like an absolute Princess straight out of a fairytale...It couldn't have been more me...or fit anybetter! That dress helped give me the courage to stand infront of everyone that day and pledge my love to the man of my dreams; my hero!

Day 3 - A photo that makes you happy

Now this my friends...will prolly be the hardest day!! HAHA!! With my 'obsession' with photography...to pick a single photo that makes me happy...is gonna prove a bit tough...

BUT...

I've narrowed it down to two...lol

- Our FIRST Family photo ever! I look like crap but that was the first time we were FINALLY all together! My fam[ily] means more to me then anything...so this picture may be my favorite of all time!

((Thankie Nicole for taking this for us!!!))

- This picture makes me sad but it makes me happy in all the right ways! Bristol being in the NICU was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through but this picture was what they gave me the first time I visited her...She looks just like me, and like a growing baby girl! I had this photo the entire time I was in the hospital and even when I went home without my baby girl! It helped me through her first week when I couldn't really do anything other then be there for her! It makes me smile because I can look back and know that she was so strong and now is a healthy, growing toddler! :)

Day 2 - What makes you uniquely you? ((oopsie...it's a little late))

Ohhh...now THIS is a thought provoking question! I personally think that my personality, thought process, and heart are what make me uniquely me!

My personality; I am, and I know I am, one of a kind! I'm a social butterfly but at the same time, I know what to keep to myself! I love everyone until you give me a reason not to and at the same time, you're a threat until I know you aren't! My family is everything I am!! They make me...ME! I feel that I was put on this planet to make others happy, be it my own family or friends!  

My thought process; I have recently come to terms with the fact that I just don't think like others! Though, it tends to get annoying knowing that I'm on a planet of my own...I like that I am able to SAY that I don't just go with what others do! I am a VERY passionate person, and to feel strongly about so much, I think it may be one of my better qualities! I do wish that I was able to confront a lot of these things with the ppl that think differently then myself...and not to cause drama or confrontation...but because it's a healthy way to get things off your chest?! At least, in my opinion!

and last but not least...

My heart; I wear my heart right out on my sleeve! I put EVERYONE I know before me! It's just how I thought I was meant to be as an adult! I want to give everything I have to everyone around me because I always hope that everyone will want do the same for me... ((though it tends to NEVER be that way...yet I still feel the need)) ...my favorite quote of all time really explains how I feel about this even better then any explanation I could give...

"...you're an artist and artists feel things differently than regular people." - Raise Your Voice

Day 1 - What age do you miss the most?

This is a really good question...and since I'm happy with my age and the way things are going for me right now, I wouldn't really want to go backwards so I'm going to divert this question to which age I miss the most when it comes to my bbys ((Justine, I'm stealin your idea..lol)) ...Now, I obviously LOVE everything about my children and the ages they are at now...but I miss Hayden at his 12 month mark!

He was just soaking up knowledge and learning to walk, talk, eat new things...it was all so fun to try to teach him everything I know...well, not EVERYTHING! haha! He took his first steps to me 4 days before his first birthday &&was really growing!

Now Bristol...I think I miss her most at the newborn age!

When she was born and had to spend her first week in the NICU; I really felt that I missed out so as soon as I was able to hold her and feed her and really be her mama...it was the greatest feeling in the world! She slept with me and we stayed up having girl time at night...it was the best! :)

Well that's my day #1 :))

SKYWRITING {{journal}}

The other day, while shopping with Nicole ((for no other reason then to just get out of the house for some quiet time)) I came across a neat journal: SKYWRITING journal! It is filled with pages of different skys: sunsets, sunrises, cloudy, blue as can be, lighting storms!! In a sense of the title...writing in the sky! lol

I always find it hard to START things such as writing in a journal! Between deciding how I want to go about recording the date, page, what I want to use to write...blah blah ((yes I tend to overthink things like this)) so in return, I struggle with getting started!

As Nicole and I went to get chinese a few hours after shopping, I was talking about the Journal and how I was going to write about our trip to the Canary Islands ((it was behing the inspirtation to get the journal, when I opened it, I happened upon a page with palm trees and my first time seeing a palm tree was on that trip)) and she asked if it was going to be a scrapbook//journal - TADA!! It smacked me...that is EXACTLY what I want it to be! Since it has no lines for words, then I can put words, doodles, pictures...ANYWHERE I wanted!

So, I started yesterday and I really liked how it turned out! Messy...no rhyme or reason or thought behind it...and it felt great! Wrote some of the things that I REALLY don't want to forget about my trip and just had fun putting it on paper!

Todays post was geared around some quotes I've read and REALLY loved and didn't want to forget and the love for my family! My thoughts have been FULL of how I put my entire body//soul into everything my family wants and needs and I just felt it approperate to put it on paper with my favorite family photo!! Who knows...maybe i'll do another one later!

So, overall...I love the whole idea behind the journal and I think everyone in the entire world should own one! :) Maybe I'll work to that one day...seems like a silly thing to work for...but how cool would it be to look at others creativity or lack there of...as they record what's on their mind or what's important to them in that moment?! ...I like the idea! :)

That's it for now! I know, this post has no real reason for being here...other then...well I wanted to post! haha!!

((oh and here is the journal...cute huh?))

{{ Spring }} Another Walk w/ My Fam{ily}

Today was, yet again, BEAUTIFUL out...so we decided to GET OUTTA HERE! Went to the PX &&did Easterr basket shopping and had some lunch!! BK does this familyy goood! :) Couldn't find what we were looking for, for our Bristol to we went to the mall &&visited H&M! Got Bristol her "kini" as she calls it, some PRECIOUS flip flops, and her first "TuTi"...seriously made this mommy's day!! <3 We came home, played with bubbles outside and watching my bbys run around...their innocence gleeming from every inch of their sillyness...pure happiness for me!! We then decided that it was time for a walk around base in our wagon we got last summer but didn't get much of a chance to use...  Both bbys LOVED it! It was way better then the lame ol` stroller they were used to! We stopped at the library...bbys and I went to the kids section and played while Thomas looked for some movies in the DVD section! I ended up being the only one getting a book {{Got a Nancy Drew mystery...don't judge}} ...lol then we were off again! Thomas decided to pull the wagon and I took full advantage of the weather, the spring budding//blooming and snapped away!! Got some of my fav nature shots so far!! We ended up infront of the EuoCom Building while the bbys played in the fountain and I tried to catch their every move! Gosh, I surely have the passion to capture their lives...one frame at a time! After some serious splashing we decided to head home and get some dinner cookin on the grill...AGAIN ((Thomas got a new grill and all he wants to do...is USE IT!..lol)) But to our surprise, the ice cream man was out and about so we stopped...Thomas and the bbys had vanilla in a cone and i got chocolate chip in a cup! Headed home, ate our ice cream...then Hayden started to really show signs of not feeling well! :(( Runny nose and WAY crankyy...I noticed earlier in the day that he was kinda warm so at this point it didn't surprise me! ...And this is where we are now! My little love is asleep in the chair, Thomas is playing Tiger Woods and I'm in the mood to blog about my day! :)

Well...here are some pictures from our day!! <3
