Category Archives: Mine on Mondays

Happy Monday to all! Today is going to be a crazy day, as I tie up a bunch of loose ends while preparing for my much needed vacation! So excited to be chilling at the beach with my family. Looks like the weather is going to be great! Anyway, before I head off I had to share a few pics of my little man. He almost never wants to pose for mommy anymore, so you can imagine my surprise and excitement when he asked me to take some pics. He was only a willing participant for a few short minutes but it was long enough for me to grab a couple shots and of course I adore them! But, I am a bit biased. LOL! Hope you enjoy them too!

It’s Monday again….seriously how is it possible? Anyway, I feel like I am always apologizing for my blog boringness, (Yes, in case you are wondering, I believe I just made up a word. LOL!) but really, things have been super busy here! I am working on so much behind the scenes here, some of which I should be able to share very soon. And since it’s Monday, here’s a picture of my daughter that I took for my online class I mentioned last week. The assignment was called out of focus on purpose, and for those of you that know me, you will know I LOVE my images to be super sharp. So this was a bit hard for me, I was really struggling with how out of focus to get but I have to say I am in LOVE with the results. What do you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts…drop me a note in the comment section and let me know. Have a great week and stay tuned for loads of sneak peeks coming at you!

Well it’s Monday again and another weekend just flew bye. How does that happen? I look forward to the weekend all week and then it just goes by in the blink of an eye. Or at least it feels that way anyway. Although, I have to say, I did have great weekend. As you can see below, I had two fabulous sessions, plus spent some quality time with my family and even had a date night with my hubby. Yipee! (Thank you Grammy & Grampy!) So no complaints here! LOL!

Now onto some pictures. Not sure I’ve mentioned it on the blog but I cam currently participating in an online creative lighting workshop. (Which btw, I am LOVING!) It’s been really fun and challenging experimenting with new lighting techniques. My kids have been sports though and have had fun helping me with my “homework”. LOL! Pretty sure they are just loving the bribes attached to the assignments but hey it works for me! Here’s some pics of Allie helping with last week’s assignment. Enjoy and hope you have a terrific week!

Happy dreary Monday to you all! This weather has been a bit of a downer lately, wouldn’t you say? I have had to reschedule a few sessions due to rain which is always a bummer. But the sun must come out eventually, right? LOL! Anyway, I actually had a few minutes to get caught up and realized I have been a very bad girl and haven’t blogged a Mine on Monday in quite some time. So without further ado, here are some recent pics of Emma, who just celebrated her big number 6 birthday! (I still can’t believe she is really 6 years old!) Enjoy and have a great day!

Good Monday morning everyone, hope you all enjoyed this beautiful weekend! Man the weather was fabulous, wasn’t it? I actually had the entire weekend off, which, seriously hasn’t happened, in forever. It was so nice to unplug all weekend, not to mention, I was able to get a ton of stuff done! We went hiking at Purgatory Chasm with my sister and her family on Saturday. Then spent Sunday working on our new veggie garden. And I even managed to grab a few pics of the kids too!

I will be making up for having the weekend off though, so be sure to stay tuned to the blog. I have three sessions this week, which means loads of sneak peeks coming your way!

Here’s a peek at our weekend, enjoy!

The boys building our new raised bed veggie garden! Check Moose out, he was doing great using a hammer!

This is face is so very Allie! LOL!

Sweet Emma


And would you look at those lashes, man are we so going to be in trouble with her! LOL!

Good Monday morning everyone! Hope you had a fabulous weekend. Between sick kids, two major home renovations and a session, things were super busy here…as usual. LOL! I have come to the realization that is just our life now, crazy as it is, I am trying to get better at rolling with the punches. (Which if you know me, is not my strong point.) Anyway, since the kids have been so sick this winter we haven’t been up to too much in the way of fun. However, I still managed to get a few shots of them resting on our new sofa. Enjoy!

P.S. Please excuse the double watermarks, I recently had an image stolen which is the reason for the new watermark.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Hope you all have a chance to spend some time with your sweeties today! And speaking of sweeties, I couldn’t let today go by without sharing  some pics of my own sweeties. Here’s just a few I got the other day with a bribe or two.LOL! Enjoy!

Happy Monday all! Hope you had a great weekend. Today for my Mine on Monday I wanted to share a series of pics featuring some of my hubby’s handy-work. Our little guy, Moose, got lots of Thomas trains and tracks for Christmas to add to his growing collection. So inspired by all the new goodies, Scott decided to create a corkscrew ramp & bridge thing to add to the fun. He worked really hard on this creation and I think he’s as well as Moose are happy with it. We’ll see how it holds up to the kids and of course the pesky cat, LOL! Anyway, here are a few pics. Enjoy!

Daddy’s great BIG track creation!

….trains, trains and more trains! LOL!

and last, because Allie can’t miss an opportunity to “pose” for the camera. LOL!

Happy cyber Monday everyone! Hope you are all cashing in on some sweet online deals. Don’t hate me, but I actually just finished my holiday shopping this morning and scored a few deals too. Now onto today’s post, every year on black Friday we head to the tree farm for our annual tree cutting. However this year we didn’t go. On Wednesday, Emma came down with a nasty cold which preceded to make it’s way through the entire household leaving us all pretty junky for Thanksgiving and the rest of the weekend. So we decided to post pone our tree cutting til next weekend, hopefully we will all feel better by then. The kids were pretty bummed so I decided to bust out the adorable gingerbread village I had already bought. They each had fun decorating their own house. Scott & I were even able to get in on the action. Here’s a little peek at our sweet gingerbread village. Enjoy!
