Joy of Motherhood - Day 134 - May 13

Just added some highlights of my G+ 366 project. Consider myself caught up. :o)

I hope all the moms out there had a fabulous Mother's Day.

My kids made me "name plates" for my bedroom door. +Wesly Smith loves that. ;o)

The Joy of Motherhood - Day 134

+Wesly Smith brought home flowers the other day. He bought them as part of a Easter Seal fund raiser that was parked in the lobby during his work day. I think he brought them home to apologize for the lack of kisses +Chrysta Rae made apparent to him. While the future +Adaya Smith thinks they're for her.

For the Birds - Day 112

Spent the morning downtown at the Portland Saturday Market. So much to see. These happen to be bird feeders.

April 23rd #36

+Wesly Smith is amazing. No one has ever thrown me a suprise party before. He invited a whole bunch of my besties and several were able to come, on three days notice. Which was nice since I've been kind of feeling like G+ is the only place I've been social lately. This is my cake. +Tiffany Carlson put just 29 candles on it (and made it). I love her.

Not my picture. Not my picture, just taken with my camera.

Dreaming of Summer - Day 117

She felt the warm sun on her back...

Then she woke up to the rain pounding on the roof.

PDX photowalk April 29th

My date for the #PDXPW yesterday, the love of my life Mr +Wesly Smith, just can't stay away from the G+. This is my first attempt at playing with Perfect Photo Suite 6. A little perfect effects and a little focal point. Thank you +Brian Matiash for bringing a couple copies along to give away. My wish list is now one item shorter. +PDX Photowalk

From your nightmares - Day 128

I like spiders. I pulled this one from your nightmares. Don't worry, he's only a 1/4 inch or 1 centimeter in real life.

From Your Nightmare - Day 128

Grounded from all things that cut - Day 124

Another reminder that you are following a stay at home mom with a camera in her hands.

This morning her hair was all one length, minus the bangs she gave herself at Christmas (while hiding behind the Christmas Tree).

Yesterday I shared my 4 year old daughter's self layering job for my 366 project. I thought this evening I would share the same 4 year old in the hands of the amazing Miss Bettie Bombshell. She's an old friend and a master at layers. Not much we can do about the chunks she took out in the back, other than allow time to grow them out, but things have been textured such that one hardly notices.

Hanging on by a Brick - Day 80

Another trip to OMSI. This time a 2nd grade class field trip. Another trip through "Art of the Brick." Go see it, you'll love Lego that much more.

Josiah informs me that it is actually titled
Hanging on the Edge

Detail of a woven basket from my trip to Kenya.

Some days I just don't have much time to play.

Little green frog - Day 78

If you're tired and you squint, it looks like a little green frog. We had a break in the rain so I was playing with the raindrops. I decided to try to edit this one, but then I saw a little a frog. So I thought I'd share him with you.

Busy day. JrFLL Lego Expo at OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) today. Was very proud of our team. Then we explored OMSI till 4. Exhausted.

Remember to watch your step in the ball room.

Jr FIRST Lego League Expo - March 17

Waiting for our reviewer at Expo. The kids chose ice cream as their snack and created their own ice cream maker out of Lego bricks (see bottom left corner). The cool thing is that it spins on a motor just like a real one.
