On Broadway...

Got a fun new accessory for my camera.  Only twenty bucks and I will have hours of fun with it.  A star filter.  Here are some photos from my weekend with my sister.  Went to my first Broadway show courtesy of an awesome sister as an early birthday present. 

Shenanigans

Back into the swing of things today.  After 14 days off of school Riley returned to a normal school day.  When I went to pick him up today the girl at surround care told me he had a good day but he said he missed mom.  On the way out the car he said "Mom can I give you a big hug because I missed you today." 

Took Riley to Shenanigan's for the first time on Saturday.  I was so impressed with that place.  There is so much to do there!  A climbing rock wall, laser tag, bumper cars, arcade games, a jump house,  giant hamster balls and a really cool obstacle course. The boys had so much fun and Carrie and I had fun just watching them.  It was a great playdate!  So much better than Chuck E Cheeses. 

My future skate boarder!

This looked scary and I was so proud that Riley actually tried it.

Riley said this was fun but I was having a heart attack because he kept doing somersaults and I thought he was going to break his neck!

This was Carrie and I's first time doing laser tag too.  It was really fun.

As you can see by their faces they are having a blast!

Here are some more experiment pictures of the frost on our window, which I think is really cool, the patterns are amazing.  Natural occurring art in our window!  Yes I am weird but it is so nice to get such entertainment out of taking pictures.  I love it.

Here are some more experimental pictures.  Gotta do something indoors when it is negative 10 outside. 

Happy New Year, Let Love Guide You!

Life is what you make of it.  Choose to be happy when all is against you or choose to be happy when all is right in your world.  Money means nothing some people have it and some people don't....be happy either way.  People come from all walks of life and all should be treated with respect regardless.  No matter what you have or don't have someone will always have more or less and it really shouldn't matter because life is not about things anyway.  When all fades the only thing left will be love.  I choose to love no matter what.  There will always be those that feel the need to waste time gossiping, try not to join in.  There will always be those that complain even when they have it all, try to appreciate the things you have rather than complain about what you don't have.  There will always be jealousy and it is easy to compare but each of us should appreciate the good qualities in others and appreciate ourselves even in the humblest of things.  Be thankful for the little things because they usually are the important things.  It is good to forgive and love those that will for some reason never like you.... just because it is the right thing to do.  God is good all the time and no matter how close we are or how far away we are close to his heart.  God has no favorites and loves us all the same.  Don't be judgmental, show compassion, be a hard worker and stay humble.  Treat people as you want to be treated and don't let negative people get you down.  Be thankful for all that you have and let love guide you .....that is my goal in 2015(and to pay off my credit card!)  Happy New Year.

 

Jason is such a great dad and so good to Riley and Austin.  Always taking them fishing and spending time with them.  Here is a picture of Riley and his first 40 inch Northern.  He was thrilled and so was dad!
