Kathryn Rose Images Photo Journal

Here we are….May!  And we still had snow on the ground!  I photographed my 10-10 project on Saturday, May 4th.  (May the 4th be with you! Haha!  I’m a dork!)  What I had scheduled on the calendar was soccer, soccer, baseball, and soccer.  BUT…since we received about 5 inches of snow on Thursday, the fields were covered and my family was “gifted” with a weekend of nothing to do!

Our meal Friday evening was spent throwing out idea’s of how to spend our weekend together.  Play boards Games?  Take a trip into the cities?  Go see Iron Man 3…but Mom and Dad have to watch that first before kids see it!  Invite friends over?  Then…I suggested to the kids we throw Hayden a Birthday party!  His Birthday is on Sunday, the 12th, and since our weekends are so busy with activities he has to wait until July for a free weekend to host his “friends” party. Why wait for Summer?  So at 8pm on Friday, I called up his 5 favorite friends and made plans for a bowling party at 3pm the next day!  Woo-Hoo! Let’s party!

Peyton in P.J’s.

Big sister drying Hayden’s hair.

Dad won’t get up.

Really Peyton?!!!  Of course Em is ready to go. Is that really how you wear a coat?

Where to get a “FUN” cake in town?  Wal-Mart of course!  And I’m being serious about that.

Party City is where to go when you want that over whelmed feeling…”It’s just a goodie bag Hayden.  Please pick one.”

Trip to the Dollar Store.

Lunch at his favorite place! Subway!

This is as good as it get’s for me lately!  What can I say?  He’s 7!

Let the party begin!

AND…Peyton get’s a STRIKE!!

Happy Birthday my lil’man!

Thanks for stopping by.  Now …follow this 10=10 project to the very talented Robyn, of Just Me who happens to have her own Haiden too!

All for now!

Hey. Hey.Hey!

Let’s play some trivia!

1. What best-selling author took readers to Poland in 1983, Texas in 1985, and Alaska in 1988?

2. What group “ran so far away” in their 1982 hit song?

3. In 1981, what pop group released their debut album Beauty and the Beat, which became a huge success?

My girlfriend via Facebook, suggested I “like” an 80′s page and I found they had some pretty cool stuff to look at. That just gives me more to pin on Pinterest.

I actually found myself talking about this band a few weeks ago. I remember always watching this show with my papa.

I played this game in my Freshman computer class!  Thank goodness graphics are so much better today!

At a price like that…I’m amazed the computer became popular!

I actually think this couch is cool!  Not in this green color…but who wouldn’t want alphabet furniture?  And the shagg carpet is a must!

This was my favorite gun to chew as a kid!  Loved it!

answers:

1.  James Michener

2.  A Flock of Seagulls (“I Ran”)

3.  The Go-Go’s

Thanks for playing Tuesday Trivia!

All for now!

The weather.

WOW! Its sure has been crazy.  But I loved that we got another snow storm last week and even gave my kids a snow day Thursday!  That’s just how I roll.  Plus, all this snow has made us slow down as a family.  With four kiddo’s involved in multiple activities this is the 3rd weekend we’ve received as a “gift” to just be.  So what did I do Friday night?  Pulled together a last minute Birthday party for my boy Hayden.  He’s turning 8 soon, and with weekends packed with “too much to do” his party was not scheduled to happen until July!  So…since his friends were also enjoying a weekend off, why not party! Woo-Hoo!

I love those weekend’s where all your plans get thrown out the window and you just go with the flow. Here’s a glimpse of how I use Instagram to photograph our daily life in Eau Claire.

1. Snow. Snow. And more snow.

2. Em thinking warm thought’s.

3. Ever been Down To Earth?

4. Children’s Museum play-doh is the best!

5. Loved the snow pattern.

6. Snow day pizza!

7. Thought this was funny.  I wonder if the people leave this up all year long?

8. Two beauties.

9. Saw the 5th Element accapella group.  Amazing!

All for now!

Enjoy the warm temps!

Things are warming up in Eau Claire.  Who cares if the forecast says rain and 40 degrees!  I’m excited to start planning some lifestyle family photography sessions!

This weekend was beautiful.  Loved the weather.  Saw Wynonna in concert on Friday evening.  Spent Saturday cleaning up the yard, while  Sunday was spent in Wausau at the Dance Magic competition.  Kinda feel like I’ve been hit by a bus…but happy to be back at work on this Monday morning!

Stop by every Monday and see what I’ve been up to and how I photograph my own Eau Claire family life!

All for now!
