52 Week Project 34

Well, we had quite a wonderful day today.

My mom took us down to Balboa Park and we went into the Natural History Museum. There were, Mom, Kirstie, Nick, Kyle, Christopher, Jaxon, and myself. We packed a picnic lunch and made a day out of it!!! What fun!!!

One of my favorite memories from the Natural History Museum was the Foucault Pendulum swinging in the foyer. I always loved waiting to see the pendulum hit the next block down. Well, today I felt like a kid again, on the floor with my children and nephews - eye level with the pendulum - waiting for it to hit the next block! :D I am sad to report that I didn't get the falling block on camera. But I did get this fun shot.

I especially loved listening to Chris giggle while saying, "This is so exciting!" :D :D :D

What a great day!!!!

52 Week Project 33

Okay, so I am starting to slow down a bit. I like to try to get this posted early in the week ... but school started for my kids again this week, so I've been on the road a lot with little time behind the computer.

I wanted to do something different this week instead of something of Jaxon. He is so easy to get pictures of, but I have a ton of them. So while I was cutting up some English Cucumber for Jaxon for lunch yesterday. I noticed that the cucumber was 'sweating' so I thought it would be fun to take some pictures of it.

So, this weeks photo is something different, nothing amazing or great, but just different.

Hello there!

I have completely forgotten to do this, this week! It's Thursday already and I haven't posted yet. I quickly went through the pictures I've taken this week and found one ... of Jax. Surprised?!?! LOL

I like this one, because he is peaking around the corner to look at his sister Kirstie. She was playing with Kacey and he wanted to witness the fun.

52 Week Project 31

So, my mom came over last week to help me make some bread with a sour dough starter she gave me. She also brought her mixer with her. She loves her mixer and raves about it often. We got to talking about it, and I told her that I didn't want one because it would take up too much counter room in my kitchen and they are so big. Besides I had been getting along just fine with out one.

We got into making the bread - and boy was it fun - put all of the ingredients into the mixer and turned it on. WOW! Was that nice! By the time we put the dough out to rise, I had changed my mind. I now wanted to get a mixer!!!! LOL

Well, thanks to my hubby's car fixing talents/gift and my mom's thinking, we decided to do some bartering for a mixer. They get their car fixed in exchange for buying us a mixer. What a deal!!!

Here is a picture of the second batch of bread I've made this week with the mixer.
