ETC {January 13, 2011}

I haven't done Embrace The Camera in awhile, so I thought I would participate today.  If you want the details on Embracing The Camera, you can go HERE.  It's all about less worrying about just pics of the kids, and more about taking pictures WITH the kids.

Loving on my sweet little Spencer, circa 2002.

Embrace The Camera: August 5th Edition

Embrace The Camera helps me to focus on taking pictures of me with my kids.  While I can scrutinize every picture that I am in, and I tend to delete most of them, I know that it is something I should do because I love pictures of me with my parents when I was growing up.  (Excuse that huge run on sentence, ha!) The pics I have with my mom are few and far between so I want to change that for my kids.  SO here we go . . . 

Embrace The Camera: July 15th Edition

Embrace The Camera is all about taking pictures WITH your kids, not just OF your kids.  

Since Hubby left for a missions trip this morning to Nicaragua, this week it's all about him.  :)

{Embrace} the camera ~ July 1st

I am going to try my hardest to keep up with my new weekly challenge.  Here is what I read on The Anderson Blog that got me hooked on the idea . . .

do you have pictures of yourself, with your little people?

in this day and age of the "momarazzi", many of us are always behind the lens...rather in front of it.

some of you feel much more comfy behind the lens, and i get that.

look, you think i want pictures of myself in the same velour jogging suit for the 3rd day in a row {i slept in that jogging suit each night too---i know, gross, right?}

well, i don't really want those pictures...but my kids do---or, at least they will one day.

how many of you LOVE looking at pictures of your parents, when they were young{er}?

i'm raising my hand!

sadly, i don't have a lot of pictures with me and my mom from when i was younger.

i am off to change this for my kids.

i want them to have an abundance of pictures...to remind them of these days that we spent at home together.

the days may seem to drag...but honestly, the years fly.

is my son really about to graduate...from kindergarten?

wasn't it yesterday that i was wiping his diapered bottom?  and now i am wiping his pee up from all around the toilet. embrace the pee.

and embrace the camera.

Not the greatest picture to start with, but hey, at least I started.  So there.
