Let's do 52 4/52

This week's theme "unexpected perspective" 

Here is my sweet River Baylen, drawing at his "tiny table" (as he likes to call it).  I love this picture because of the bracelet he is wearing.  He adores his "Presley bracelet"  and wears it every single day in honor of our little friend Presley.  Presley has SMARD which stands for Spinal Muscular Atrophy with Respiratory Distress.  You can read about her HERE

Let's do 52 week 3.

This week's pictures didn't turn out quite how I had envisioned,  however here we are on Sunday and I still didn't have my picture.  My hubby ended up letting me take a quick shot of him a couple hours ago for the theme which is "Negative Space".  Isn't he cute?



sleep study and more snow.

It's been a fun filled week stuck at home due to snow, wind and ICE! brrr..   an entire week off of school for the boys!
Taysen had a sleep study to check bipap settings on Sunday night in Bellevue.  TJ had Monday off for the holiday so he was able to drive us down there thankfully.
Taysen woke up with a really congested nose on Sunday, but no other symptoms.  I decided not to reschedule since it takes months to get in, and it was too soon to tell if he was coming down with a cold or not.  I hope that doesn't affect the results too much.... he was stuffy for a few days, but no coughing. 

(cell phone picture)  little sweetheart never complains about all that stuff stuck to his head and body.  (please note Jackson on the bed :)   He makes himself at home anywhere and really puts Taye at ease knowing "the furry beast" is there. (one of Taysen's nicknames for him -lol!)   Next time we see the pulmo we will go over the results, but hopefully nothing has changed. 

The snow is turning to slush but they sure did have a blast playing in it. (some more sledding pictures....)

fun in the snow

It's  the first snowfall of the year here in Washington!  Taysen and River thoroughly enjoyed themselves playing in the snow today ~ check it out!

and yes, River retaliated :)

let's do 52 2/52

taysen rocks.

 Oh how this kid amazes me.  5 1/2 years ago when Taysen was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, never did I think he would be able to do this at age 7.  I don't know where exactly i thought he'd be, but it wasn't pretty. Thank you sweet Jesus for little things like this for they are huge things to me. 

Let's Do 52 photography project

I'm going to do this "let's do 52" project with Paint the Moon Photography  I think it will be a fun and a great way to keep myself accountable to take more creative pictures!  Each week, you get to pick from 2 themes.. this week's theme is "all natural"

I snapped this picture after I trimmed River's hair a bit this morning.   Trust me, I wanted to cut it shorter, but this kid is firm on growing his hair out a "yittle bit yonger" like his buddy from karate :)  It was all i could do to convince him to a little trim. 

I processed this with "wham bam" and "blue raspberry" with adjustments
