Evil Eyes

Joining Kati's photo Friday

The Evil one.  Also known as Nolie, Is evil itself.  She hides behind curtains and corners waiting for her next unsuspecting victim to walk by and then, BAM!  She leaps out and attacks your leg then runs as fast as she can to hide.  An hour later she hops in your lap and makes herself comfortable.  With a purr she plops down.  She looks so sweet and cute you can't help but pet her.  So you stroke the soft fur and and the purring stops.  She looks at you with her evil glowing eyes.  Your hand goes down for the second stroke and BAM!  

Now you have your 20th scar. 

4-H

Since I was 9 years old I have loved Horses.  In fact, even when I was younger than that I loved them!  I saw a video of me when I was 3, my little sister had a rope around her stomach and I'm pulling her saying, "come on Sassy!"  Then she'd get bored so I'd put it around the fat grey cabbage patch pony and pull her around for a while.  But I've always dreamed of riding.  I was blessed with horse camps and many other horsey things to do, but sometimes I wouldn't get to ride for months!   
Well,  recently I received a Young Rider magazine in the mail and plopped down on the couch reading it cover to cover.  I read about horse 4-H and the first thing it mentioned is that you don't have to have a horse to participate!  I was so excited!  I thought only people who had horses could join.  
Mom and I went to the 4-H office and we asked about the horseless horse project.  Through a lot of waiting and phone calls I am now part of the Hoof Beats club, and I don't have to join the horseless horse project because my leader will be letting me use her horse to begin.  Her daughter will be giving me lessons for a month and if all goes well, I will get to lease a horse for the summer!!!!!!!!  My horsey dreams are finely coming true!

Makenna Belle

These pictures are of  Little Makenna Belle!  She is so sweet.
She smiled occasionally but never really cried.
I had so much fun taking pictures of her and her cute siblings!
Isn't she just one pretty little baby!   

POP!

Maggie Rose

Maggie Rose 

was so much fun to photograph.  She put up with so much!  She started out swaddled and happy on a soft pillow, and ended up naked and cold on a black skirt!  She had to model many different head bands (not all shown:) and finally, after putting up with so much, she was dressed and snuggled by 3 loving siblings and her mother.

Fall

                                                                            Fall
                         Fall is my favorite season.
                         Apple cider and pumpkin bread.
                         Vast amounts of candy.
                         Orange and yellow leaves spread across the lawn.
                         Racing through a corn maze with friends.
                         Ideas for costumes?
                         Trick or treat for life.
                         Especially because it means it's closer to Christmas!
                              
                              

This Moment

 {this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. xx
