2013 365 Challenge Week 13

Day 85 - March 26, 2013 - "Upside Down"
I asked Kaelynne to go upside down for Mummy and this is what she did.  I'm sure sure will appreciate this picture in a few years.  :)  Pretty good downward facing dog actually...may have to start taking her to yoga with me.  

Day 86 - March 27, 2013 - "Selfie"
This was taken with my Hipstamatic app on my iPhone 4S.  It's pretty "self" explanatory...LOL!

Day 87 - March 28, 2013 - "From The Side"
I think I was about 6 months pregnant in this picture...or close to it.  I've been taking weekly pictures and sending them to my sister.  I have no idea where this little guy is growing but it's not outward.  I think I looked like this at 4 months when I was pregnant with Kaelynne.  

Day 88 - March 29, 2013 - "In The Next Room"
I was sitting in my office and took this shot of the next room which happens to be the living room.  Tyler was watching TV and Kaelynne was making a mess...I mean playing.  :)

Day 89 - March 30, 2013 - "Coin"
I collect US coin for when we go down to the states.  This was left over from Vegas.  If I lived closer to my parents I would've went over and shot some of my Dad's coin collection...but I don't so US coin it was!  

Day 90 - March 31, 2013 - "Easter"
This is the cake I baked for Easter dinner. Kaelynne wanted to pose with it, and again, who am I to argue with a 2.5 year old?  LOL!  She was so excited "HAPPY EASTERRRRRRR".  Very cute.  :)

Day 91 - April 1, 2013 - "A Silhouette"
Sugar was the only one who would pose for this shot for me.  It wasn't the exact shot I was wanting but it wasn't sunny enough and Sugar wouldn't sit long enough so this was it.  It was taken with my Hipstamatic app on my phone because I didn't have time to run and get my camera.  Sometimes it's just so much easier to take pictures with you phone!  :)

2013 365 Challenge Week 12

Day 78 - March 19, 2013 - "Happy"
I really dislike the shadow in this picture however Kaelynne insisted I use the pop-up flash...who am I to argue with a 2.5 year old?  There are actually a lot of things I don't like about this picture, but it depicts exactly what the topic was, Happy!  And...Kaelynne looks so dang cute, so I went with it.  LOL  :)

Day 79 - March 19, 2013 - "Cake"
There are actually two "Cake" shots in the week.  Not sure if it was a mistake on the CMP end when they came up with the shots for the week but again, who am I to argue??  This cake was made for two good friends of mine who celebrated their birthday together.  I got the idea from my lovely cousin and best friend Kristy...we're no longer friends.  LOL!  Just kidding.  It was a lot of work though.  I decided to make it completely from scratch with the recipe that is on the Whisk Kid blog.  http://www.whisk-kid.com/2009/08/say-it-with-cake.html  It turned out really well but next time I will cheat and use white cake mix and my own icing recipe.  This cake is SO much fun though, who doesn't love a rainbow??

Day 80 - March 21, 2013 - "Friendship"
This is Xander and Kaelynne.  They go to daycare together and are such great friends.  Tyler and I are good friends with Xander's parents.  Xander came over for his 3 year photo shoot and afterwards had some play time with Kaelynne so I made sure to get this shot while he was over.  Can't wait to show this to them when they're older.  Maybe even at their wedding...I cannot confirm or deny that there is an arranged marriage here.  LOL!

Day 81 - March 22, 2013 - "Glitter"
This is a little note pad with glitter butterflies on it that was given to me as part of a Christmas gift from my Executive Director at work.  I think it's so cute and I love it.  

Day 82 - March 23, 2013 - "Cake"
I didn't lie about this...there really were two "Cake" topics this week.  This is a cake I baked and decorated for Easter dinner at Tyler's Grandma's house.  Inside this lovely creation is a polka dot cake which was also an idea from my lovely cousin and best friend Kristy...see we really are still friends!  I used a white cake mix instead of making it from scratch.  I think it turned out pretty well for my first time decorating a cake with an icing kit!  I may be nesting...just tad.  ;)

Day 83 - March 24, 2013 - "Celebrate"
From left to right this is Me (Gina L. Mayor), and my two wonderful friends Elizabeth and Gina.  We went out for a girls night to Celebrations Dinner Theatre.  We had such a great time, lots of laughs were had that night.  I obviously didn't take this picture, our waiter did...who happens to be a friend of mine that I went to broadcasting school with.  Thanks Barney!

Day 84 - March 25, 2013 - "Your Child's Favorite"
This is Kaelynne's favorite toy.  She loves Tato Head.  She's one of my favorites too. :)  

2013 365 Challenge Week 11

Day 71 - March 12, 2013 - "First Picture on Your Camera Roll"
I haven't cleared my memory card for a little while.  This is the first picture that was on there though.  I took this one blistery February day when I was out shooting for my challenge.  This is at a park near our house.  

Day 72 - March 13, 2013 - "Window Light"
We have a lot of awesome natural light in our house.  It's one of the things that caught my, and Tyler's, eye when we were looking at show homes.  This is taken from the landing to our room looking into our front sitting room.

Day 73 - March 14, 2013 - "Your Kitchen"
I was busily baking one day and happened to be drying the mixing bowl, saw this shot and took advantage of it.  

Day 74 - "March 15, 2013 - Music
Elmo rocking out.  Too bad his batteries died not long ago...really, it's a shame...LOL!

Day 75 - March 16, 2013 - "Typography"
This is a mural at the entrance of where I work.  I've always loved it and took this opportunity to photograph it finally.  

Day 76 - March 17, 2013 - "Lucky"
My friend Elizabeth at work made these for St. Patrick's Day!  They were very yummy.  Love the Lucky Charms!

Day 77 - March 18, 2013 - "Five"
This is from one of Kaelynne's colouring books.  Not the shot I had in mind for this one but it was too damn cold outside to get the one I wanted to I slacked and did this one instead.
