Banana Spring Rolls with rum sauce from PF Chang's - so good!

March Photo a Day Challenge - Day 20

Before/ After.

After spending 4 hours on a bike in the snow and the rain this is what you get.  From shiny happy to dirty cold muddy butt! Oh the things people do in the name of fun...

Welcome Baby Buster

Born today at about 1pm.

8 pounds 15 ounces.

22 inches long.

Melita and Baby Boy (still choosing the perfect name) are doing great.  Cody is excited to be a Dad again and Savannah is still deciding what she thinks of it all :)

March Photo a Day - Day 17

Green.

I took this one this weekend about 45 mins out of Fresno, where Bryce rode his first mountain bike race today in about 5 years.  More on that in another post :)

March Photo a Day Challenge - Day 16

Sunglasses.

I took this one today on our walk.  the neighborhood was eerily quiet for lunch time on a friday today.  it was the calm before the storm we're having tonight.  it was good to be out in it.  we took our time and I enjoyed taking it all in, as did Coop - stopping to sniff at as many spots as he possibly could.

Bryce, Mabel and I are all sick this week...  Mabel started vomiting on Sunday night, by Tuesday night I was vomiting and then Bryce got his turn this morning at around 2am*.  So this week has been pretty domestic.  Taking care of Mabel and each other, eating bland foods, drinking gatorade and pedialyte and washing sheets, towels, and baby clothes like a mad woman.  ah the joys of parenthood...

hope you have a wonderful (vomit-free) weekend

:)


*I had no idea that babies could give us their illnesses - I guess I just assumed that their germs were baby sized and while they pick up all sorts of things from other kids, us adults were immune.  I mean, I never get sick... ugh.  I was wrong... 

March Photo a Day Challenge - Day 15

Car.

This is Bryce's lego camper van that he got for Christmas from Hannah, standing in front of one of Dad's paintings for effect :P  

It took him a few days to put it all together, I think it has about 1100 pieces.  It came with full instructions - which I think is just cheating...  did lego always have instructions, or is that a recent thing?  maybe I just never looked at the instructions as a kid?

anyway, this photo challenge has been quite fun so far.  some creative thinking is always a good thing :)

March Photo A Day Challenge - Day 8

Window.

My Dad planted these seeds when he was here way back in October.  They are Illawarra Flame Trees and the pair in the back of the photo sprouted not long after he left.  This one in the foreground however just sprouted this week, when I moved the pots to a sunnier window!

I'm starting March with some creative fun.  I'm joining the Fat Mum Slim Photo a Day Challenge thanks to my friend Tracy.  I watched her post daily photos on Facebook through February and was inspired to jump on in.   Here's the list:

I'll post my photos daily here, and on my pinterest board, and on my instagram.
