Challenge Update 2/10/13

Time for February's photo challenge update! I am really loving this challenge, because it makes us aware of everyday things going on around us, and I can look back at everything (big or small) that we are so thankful for, and remember these tiny moments each and every day! Here was my challenge this week:

Something Pink
Out your window
Numbers
Nature
Your shoes
If things could talk
Household

Something pink! We took my niece Macy, fishing last Sunday! We went on a hike through the woods and she got to discover all sorts of fun new things! She was dressed all in pink, which made my picture that day very easy!! Love these two people!! 

Monday was "out my window". I took this picture as the sun was setting! One of my favorite things about Oklahoma is our sky! It fills up with so many colors and if you're out of the city on open road, it seems to be endless! 

I'm so glad I have such a great man who gets on board with all my crazy ideas! The day was coming to an end, and he asked me, "What was your picture today?" I had forgot all about it, and remembered as we pulled into home that it was numbers! He pointed at the keypad and I snapped a picture! 

Well okay, so this isn't "outside nature", but we brought nature inside! DJ has been working so hard on a beach for our turtles! They need a way to sun themselves and get out of the water and dry off! Their log became too small, so he built this little beach for them and they LOVE it! All we need know is to add some plants around the pipe and we're done! We love our little turtles!

I was getting ready to walk out the door to go the gym, and saw that today's picture was "my shoes"...so I propped my foot up and grabbed a shot of my shoe! And yes, I could hear my mother's voice in my head the WHOLE time telling me to get my shoes off the couch! 

 I went to a market in Bixby (Conrad's) to get our 13 lbs of pecans we picked with my mom the other day, cracked and blown! (If you live in town and have pecans they will crack them and blow the dirt off for 50 cents a pound)! While I was waiting I walked around looking at all the fresh produce! I came across this basket full of little baby onions. If things could talk, these onions would be saying, "I may be little, but I still pack a punch"! My eyes about started watering just standing this close for the picture! These little guys are not kidding around!

So this isn't our household, but my new sweet niece, Morgan had her 1st birthday party this weekend! So here she is at the household we all were in, getting ready to dive into her cake, and enjoying all the festivities around her! LOVE you sweet girl! 

So far for February we have:
