April's Picture of the Day

Happy Easter (day 29)

2009-04-12T20:08:00.000-07:00

Stephen was the only cousin young enough to still search for eggs. So we hid like 10 eggs and everyone went out to watch him and take pictures. :-) It was cute. Here is the typical "Easter egg hunt" picture :-)

"Where We Going Mom???" (day 28)

2009-04-12T20:04:00.000-07:00

This is what happens whenever we start acting like we're going to go somewhere. She runs to the door and sits RIGHT in front of it so that we can't get out without her. :-)

Really? (day 27)

2009-04-10T20:43:00.001-07:00

This reminded me of someone and i found it in the most unlikely store. If you're really interested message me and I'll explain.

A Welcome Sight (day 26)

2009-04-10T20:36:00.001-07:00

I drove all the way to SIUE to get the cow for Into the Woods and managed to get lost like 5 times. So when I finally made it back to St. Louis I was so happy to be back that I took a pic :-)

A New Addition (day 25)

2009-04-10T20:29:00.000-07:00

Andrew and I got a bug. We had to drive all the way to St. Clair to pic it up. It's a 1973 Super Bettle. Andrew's going to fix it up and then we'll have an awesome car :-) It's not in too bad of shape. We're hoping to have it up and running before the summer is over.

A New Addition (Day 25)

Missing Holly (day 23)

2009-04-06T21:53:00.000-07:00

So Holly isn't here tonight. She had to go to Grandma's while we were at DaySpring. But we miss her lots! We almost drove to St. Charles at 11:30 pm to go get her cause we missed her so much. So here is a pic of the corner where her kennel should be. But it's not.

Happy Boy (day 22...yeah, I missed a day :-( )

2009-04-05T20:11:00.001-07:00

Andrew has a new phone...it's a blackberry. He loves it! :-)

"Gel" day 20

2009-04-03T20:39:00.000-07:00

A book of all the different gel colors this company sells. I ordered gel for Into the Woods today.

First Haircut (day 19)

2009-04-02T20:29:00.000-07:00

I gave my dog a haircut today. It took me a good 4 hours or so... but it was my first time...and she actually looks better than some cuts we've gotten from groomers in the past.

"Ride in the Car" (day 18)

2009-04-01T16:54:00.000-07:00

Holly was in the back window and Avery's side window was open...I looked up into my rearview mirror and this is what I saw! I had to take a pic! :-)

"Out with the old, in with the new" (day 17)

2009-03-31T21:30:00.000-07:00

I got a new phone! :-)

Julia (day 16)

2009-03-30T21:28:00.000-07:00

Julia came into backstage class today and I decided that she was going to be my pic of the day. I ended up doing a tiny photo shoot while my students cleaned up. The rest of those pics are on my facebook page. (this pic got a little washed out in the upload :-P)

"Transportation, Snow, Gas" (day 15)

2009-03-29T20:49:00.000-07:00

I really don't know what this is...I didn't really like any of the pics I took so I merged a couple of them together to make a collage thing...I'll do better tomorrow!

A desperately needed manicure (day 14)

2009-03-28T19:54:00.000-07:00

I was never a nail girl but I got into the habit of having painted nails when I got engaged and people wanted to see my hands all the time. I switched to doing it myself when I got married (as opposed to going and getting it done). I have been so busy and stressed out and had nasty nails from that stupid dye and haven't had nice nails in about a month. So I finally had a lazy day and I did my nails...call me girly but I feel much better now :-)

Two Bows (day 13)

2009-03-27T18:38:00.000-07:00

Yeah, I know...I keep posting pics of my dog...but I didn't have anything better today...but she's cute today with 2 bows! :-)

"Green" house ;-) (day 12)

2009-03-26T18:17:00.001-07:00

I took this picture out my window while driving (I think I was at a stoplight for this one...)

My Pretty (day 11)

2009-03-25T20:00:00.000-07:00

I love my puppy.

The Tangled Web (day 10)

2009-03-24T20:13:00.000-07:00

My tree outside looked cool and I knew that before long there would be leaves on it so I took the opportunity and documented it.

McDonalds Photo shoot (not a daily pic post)

2009-03-24T19:46:00.001-07:00

So none of these are my pic of the day but I wanted to go ahead and post these just so that they were here with my other ones...:-)

"Silly Rabbit, Trix are for April!" (day 9)

2009-03-23T20:11:00.000-07:00

I never get Trix, but they were on sale so I bought 2 boxes! :-)

McDonalds Photo shoot (day 8)

2009-03-22T21:51:00.000-07:00

My aunt asked me to do a photo shoot with Avery to get some photos to frame and put up in her McDonalds. Here is one of the shots that I got.

Leave the Light On (day 7)

2009-03-21T20:30:00.000-07:00

Learning from big "brother" (day 6)

2009-03-20T21:42:00.003-07:00

Oliver getting "guy" advice from his big brother (in-law) :-)

I'm gonna GET it!!! (day 5)

2009-03-19T20:14:00.000-07:00

So it's a little blurry but it was kind of hard to get a clear picture of a dog leaping after her toy. She's a very enthusiastic toy chaser :-)

First Sign of Spring (day 4)

2009-03-18T19:44:00.001-07:00

This little crocus has popped up in our front yard, not near any kind of garden but on the border of our yard and our neighbor. I noticed it the other day and decided it was a good subject for today.

Waiting for a task (day 3)

2009-03-17T18:53:00.000-07:00

Joe was patiently waiting for me to notice him and give him a job...granted he was waiting above my eye level...probably hoping I'd never notice him :-)

Salt Addiction (day 2)

2009-03-16T19:28:00.000-07:00

So we dyed a lot of costumes. It took a lot of salt. We look like we have some sort of strange salt addiction. :-)

Raja (Day 1)

2009-03-15T22:50:00.000-07:00

I have other (and I think, better) pictures from today. But this is the one that had a story. This is Raja the male Asian elephant at the St. Louis Zoo. I remember going to the zoo to see Raja when he was just born. Ever since then (I was like 6) I have made it a point to see Raja every time we went to the zoo. So here is Raja, my baby elephant, all grown up and with his own kid now! :-)

Day 1

2009-03-15T21:11:00.000-07:00

Ok so Blogger/the Rep's internet connection won't let me upload my photo...I'll put it up here when I get home but it's gonna be after midnight cause I'm stuck here until midnight. :-P Way to fail on the first day! Oh well!

The Challenge!

2009-03-15T20:19:00.000-07:00

So I have decided to take at least one picture each day for a month and post it here. This picture can be of anything that strikes me in a day. It might be my husband, Andrew, or my puppy, Holly (the chances are great for this one :-) ), it might be a detail shot of my life that day, or it might be a person who struck me as interesting. Your guess is as good as mine. Check back each day or every few days. The goal is to post the photo before midnight each night.
