Final February Photo Challenge Update

I made it through all of February with the photo challenge! I am loving this challenge! Looking back through all the pictures from this month has been a lot of fun! Doing this can bring back memories that otherwise might have slipped my mind! Here are the final days for February...

Something I made

A picture in our room

Something green

Money

A button

This is a picture of scarf I made! It has been so warm and cozy this past week while it's been chilly here in OK! I'm working on a pink scarf right now! I can't wait to get that one finished :)

The picture in our room, is a picture of DJ's mom! She passed away a couple of years ago, but I guarantee not a day goes by when her precious family does not think about her! Her love and tenderness I know for sure are being carried on the hearts of all her children! Isn't she a beautiful lady?!

My "something green" photo, is of a bottle of rice vinegar which just happens to be one of my favorite things to cook with! Hmmmm, I think I need to find a recipe with some rice vinegar in it for lunch now! Yummy :)

My "money shot" is a picture of a vase we keep our spare change in! We're almost to the top, and then we'll go cash in for some ice cream or something fun like that ;)

(Hmmm...this picture took about 15 mins to load, and is now a bit fuzzy) This is a button on my jacket! It's about the ONLY button I could find yesterday! I guess we're not "button" people ;)

Here is the run down of February:

What's in my bag

This is a picture of what I wore last Sunday! (And of me holding DJ's cello) ;)

This is a picture of the sky right before nighttime! 

My something blue picture was easy, because I had to take a trip to Wal-Mart! I saw this lone basket while waiting in the garden center to check out, so I snapped a picture of it! The lady in front of me heard the shutter, and turned around to see me "posing the basket", I'm sure she was thinking I don't get out much lol

My something red is a picture of DJ's card and gift I got him for Valentine's Day! 

This is a picture of my love on Valentine's Day! He was headed to work...So handsome ;)

Something I see every morning is my coffee! YUM!

The first thing I pulled out of my bag was my headphone set! It was the last thing I threw in there, so I guess it makes since that it was on top! 

Only 12 more days left in February for pictures then we're on to March! Stay tuned for some great recipes this week! Until then...

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:

Words

Something Pink

Out Your Window

Numbers

Nature

If Things Could Talk
