photo-a-day for june

I did this photo-a-day challenge in June! It was a lot of fun, so I’ll be doing it again for July (but hopefully in a more organized fashion this time)! Click on the pictures to make them bigger (I know you want to get up close and personal with my piece of pizza)! Somehow I missed #17, which was supposed to be “centered”. Oops!

photo-a-day for may (7-12)

Day 7 (something beginning with F): First Mother’s Day card- from my mom! 🙂IMG_20130507_184740

Day 8 (shape): Hearts, stars, and horseshoes (hopefully I’m not the only one who remembers this commercial from childhood)! I have been pretty obsessed with Lucky Charms lately, so it was only fitting to use them as my “shape” photo.IMG_20130508_164814

Day 9 (a snack): A chocolate-chip muffin (my other obsession)!IMG_20130509_193011

Day 10 (stars): See that green toy at Kaya’s feet? Yep, I’m counting that for my “star” photo. Although, Kaya is kind of the star of our lives right now, so she could count too!_MG_5644

Day 11 (a smile): Technically I cheated and took this on day 10… but it was just too good to not use!_MG_5672

Day 12 (a mother): Sometimes, I still can’t believe I’m a mom… (probably because I still feel like a kid disguised in an adult body)! But I am so thankful for this little sweetheart and that I get to be her mommy._MG_5736

photo-a-day for may (1-6)

As I mentioned last week, I’m doing this photo challenge for May. So far, it’s been a lot of fun and it has helped me see each day a little differently!

Day 1 (I bought this!): “Granola” bars for the flight home. I don’t normally buy these, so they were a treat!

Day 2 (morning ritual): I run at least four miles, five times a week. Starting my day with exercise is so invigorating!IMG_20130502_231754

Day 3 (this is really good!): We had some AMAZING weather on Friday. It actually felt like spring! Kaya and I enjoyed some time outside with my mom and dad-in-law. Kaya is infatuated with Scrappy, and he was so patient with her!

Day 4 (in my cup): Sweet Frog frozen yogurt! I think I put nearly every chocolate topping on it…IMG_20130504_191120

Day 5 (paper): I received my institute diploma! (Institute is basically a church program that holds classes to study scriptures). I was missing just one class for credit, but I finally finished!IMG_20130505_203049

Day 6 (broken): My heart has been broken since I said goodbye to Maggie yesterday. I wanted one last picture together before we went to the vet.image
