Using Photoshop (18/365)

I have been so afraid to play around with photoshop. I normally upload my photo into picnik and click a few buttons and out pops a pretty photo. I finally took the plunge today and used photoshop. It's a bit intimidating but with all the tutorials on the web I managed to fumble my way through it. I'm proud of myself =)

Scavenger Hunt Sunday (week 19, 17/365) POTW

Another week has gone by and on top of that today marks the one year anniversary of me finding out I was pregnant with Parker. What an amazing journey we have been through together this past year.

I was having troubles figuring out pictures for "Scavenger Hunt Sunday" so I'm a little late posting mine.

1. A Different View

I realize this is not the best picture. I only had the time it takes for the stoplight to turn green to capture a good picture...and yes I do have a HUGE crack in my windshield.





2. Looking Up

Parker has already learned to roll from belly to back and is now practicing back to belly. He caught me taking pictures. I also chose this picture for my picture of the week. It's amazing how much he changes in just a week.



3. Abstract

I was stuck on what to use for my abstract photo then tonight I found my cat playing with my sewing pins and it struck me that it would make a interesting photo.



4. Hair

Trying to take my day 17 photo with Parker when he decided to grab my hair.



5. Half

This was another challenge for me. I was trying to find something different then what a lot of other people had already done. I had pretty much given up and started to get Parker ready for a bath when his shirt became stuck on his head, it struck me that this would be perfect.



He was having more fun than me with this....

A nice day for a walk....(14/365)

Date: January 14th, 2011
Time: Afternoon
Temperature: 73 degrees

It was such a beautiful day here in sunny Arizona. On top of the gorgeous weather it's Friday. We decided to take advantage of the weather a go for a walk.

Parker was excited to get going....





We walked to the store and played with things....



And took goofy pictures with these things....



Shopped for Valentines Day decor'....



Kept walking until we saw a chaise lounge on the side of the road, and rested...



Rested some more...



And did I mention rested?!? I fell in love with this but unfortunately we had no where to put it....

Don't you just love the mohawk Parker is getting because he has bald spots on his sides?
