May. 5, 2007 - Photo Hunters "CHILDHOOD"

Posted in Photo Hunters



The Photo Hunters theme of the day is "CHILDHOOD"

I have FOUR children... how can I decide on just ONE photo?!!  I narrowed it down to these because, to me, they show my kids enjoying childhood and just being KIDS!

Apr. 21, 2007 - Photo Hunters "STEPS"

Posted in Photo Hunters






It's Saturday and that means... time for another Photo Hunters scavenger hunt. 

This weeks theme is STEPS.

 It's fun theme that I'm sure we'll see many creative "takes" on along with some great photos -- but for me this was a no-brainer.  I thought immediately of this picture:






Here we are, 17 years ago, on our wedding day.  The steps are on the veranda of the Garlock House where we held our reception.  We were able to go back on our 10th anniversary and celebrate with a special meal but, sadly, it is now closed.


Since that day 3 things have increased:  Our age, our weight, and our LOVE!


Happy Photo Hunting - I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone came up with!

Apr. 7, 2007 - Photo Hunters "CLEAN"

Posted in Photo Hunters

Today's Photo Hunters theme is CLEAN.


The boys were asked to clean their room today - here is their idea of  "clean"....


"Your not fooling me with that innocent smile... I see that stuff shoved under the bed!"


Here they are CLEANing  earlier:







"Create in me a CLEAN heart, O God: and renew a right spirit within me. " Psalms 51:10


HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE

Mar. 31, 2007 - Photo Hunters "WATER"

Posted in Photo Hunters

Time for another Saturday Photo Hunt hosted by TNchick.   Visit more photohunters - click HERE.

Today's theme is WATER.   Had a hard time deciding which photos to post but I decided on these taken at Watkins Glen State Park in Watkins Glen, NY.   This beautiful State Park has a 2 mile long hiking trail along an awesome gorge that boasts 19 waterfalls along the way.



 If you go, be prepared to climb hundreds of steps that take you take you across bridges, under waterfalls and, if you have the nerve, all the way to the top!


Notice  some of the steps in the photo above.



Jesus answered and said unto her ".....whosoever drinketh of the WATER that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the WATER that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."                           John 4:13 - 14

Posted in Photo Hunters

Wow! This week flew by!  Time for another Saturday Photo Hunt. 
                            Today's theme is "EMPTY"




Ever notice how much fun a kid can have with just an EMPTY box?






This last photo shows the 3 boys decorating there "new home" which
was the huge, empty box our new fridge came in!  Can you
believe the delivery guys were going to take the box away...think of
all the fun we would have missed out on!

Mar. 17, 2007 - Photo Hunter "DRINK"

Posted in Photo Hunters

This weeks Photo Hunter theme is "DRINK".

 

 

These photos are of my, then 3 year old, son enjoying a blue slushie one evening at a roller skating rink.

   I always loved that picture of him - I remember him being so pleased that he could have his own slushie like all the big kids were having!  The bottom photo is him with my dad.
