Week #7: SPICE

This week was not too difficult.  Unfortunately you will notice a certain lack in quality in a few pictures...such is the case when pressed on time or a certain feeling of laziness.
 
September 2: Spices
 

 I was quite excited to have a truly "spice" filled picture to take on the very first day of a spicy week! as you will notice, there is hardly anything spicy left to be found about this post.  The gingerbread cake that these spices spiced up was delicious.

September 3: Feeling Blue

 Tim, Nick, and Nate left Seam and I at home with my parents while they went on a backpacking trip.  We went on a trip up to a "Big Tree" park because "Who has more fun than us?" Along the way we stopped and got some delightful blue mountain dew.  It was delicious, and made for a perfect photo opp. ;)

September 4: "A pic of a pic"

 Or of a number of pictures I should say.  I had not taken a picture on this day, most likely because I was busy doing any number of other things. suffice to say, I was lying in bed and realized I hadn't taken a picture.  So, seeing as how I had been on the verge of sleep, I switched on my light, snapped a shot of my wall, and promptly went back to bed.  This picture really is important to me though, because of all the wonderful people that are seen in the photos. 

September 5: Hang man


That was a very long day.  We got up at a decent time so my mom could make some phone calls and we could leave in enough time to make it to an open interview Nick was going for.  I decided to join him in the interview process, and so began the wait until about 4:30 when we finally went home to return the next day to only wait an hour.  Talk about tiring.  Anyways, Jason, Nick and I played hang man.  I made him dance because I mean really, who wouldn't want to dance instead of hang?

September 6: Clouds

 Some of you may know, but I have a fascination with clouds.  After we got home the next day the sunset looked beautiful.  Along with sunset pictures these clouds were glowing, so I took a few of them as well.  so beautiful!

September 7: Folding Chairs

We went to my brother and sister-in-laws house.  We spent a wonderful evening there, and although I took our Nikon, I didn't end up getting it out.  I took my smaller camera out and took a couple videos on my little brother trying to dive.  It was fantastic!  But somehow I didn't take a picture and only took videos.  They had these chairs though that reminded me of the ones at school and all the trouble many of us had ripping our pants on them.  Then there were the many times that a certain young man would forget to wither lock the chair or unlock the chair to sit up and it caused much merriment. :)

Sptember 8: As with the 4th, I went to bed and realized I hadn't taken a picture.  Unlike the 4th, I simply closed my eyes and went to sleep.  what was there to take a picture of besides the photos above my bed, and I had already used that this week.  Maybe I will use my wall as an excuse whenever I forget to take a picture...

Week #6: SUNSET

So, we have so many amazing sunsets... yet this week almost all of our sunsets looked very similar... so I had to get creative. ;)

August 26: Sunset and Rocking Chair

 On this beautiful evening we spent some time outside watching the sun set.  We had a wonderful day at a baptism and blessed by friends. 

August 27: Sunset

 It's a beautiful sunset, there just wasn't much variety... so it wasn't the most amazing one I've ever seen.

August 28: Sunset Colors

 I was lacking inspiration, and since there are always so many Lego blocks laying around, this is basically normal life.  So I found this cute little rock monster guy and made a little weird still life with sunset colors.  Made me think of something Tim would do.

August 29: Reflecting the Sunset

 I liked this idea, but the picture didn't turn out as well as I had hoped.

August 30: Sunset Flowers

 These flowers are so beautiful!  They have wonderful sunset colors.

August 31: LAVA

 I admit, I forgot to take a good picture, but I did take this one on my phone.  I like my lava lamp a whole lot.  It is purple and it is fun to watch.  The biggest problem with this thing though is that it takes like half an hour to heat up!

September 1: Mickey

We made some amazing onion rings the other night.  These three looked like a Mickey Mouse.  I HAD to take a picture.
