…to my iphone and to shakeitphoto!!!!….and chocolate, chai tea lattes, and pineapple….and the list goes on! hahaha
The frost outside this morning, along with the fog, completely drew me. Every day I drive the same route as I take the kids to school. I often notice the trees and point them out…..as I just drive right on by. Something urged me to stop today. So after dropping off the kids, I stopped a few times on the way back home to capture some of the awesomeness. (and yes, i have a thing for trees, yes i do!…..but…ONLY as long as they don’t have green leaves on them….they aren’t the same with leaves haha)
2.5 hours later I drove the same route again to pick Kiella up from Kindergarten and by then the sun had come out and everything looked so different!!! So yes, I took more…….all through the car windows! hahaha

anyway, i had to figure out something to do so i started playing with an iphone app on my phone. i have had the app for months now but never really use any of the numerous camera/photography related ones i have on my phone. after playing with in on New Year’s Eve, and then seeing this blog post by Ash Imagery yesterday i had an idea, uh huh! i decided to put the idea on twitter & facebook for others to do as well….a fun iphone challenge. (if anyone else did this i’d love to see what u came up with!!)
mission:
1.buy ShakeItPhoto app
2. take as many images as u r old of random s#*t throughout TODAY

This year was the quietest Christmas in Calgary I think I’ve ever had. Honestly, I was kind of worried about not flying, or driving 20 hours to Yellowknife, and not having my family come down here. I wasn’t sure what I was going to think Christmas morning when it was just Matt and the kids and I. In the end though, it was great!! I’ve decided to share a few of our memories from Christmas morning.
Kylin has grown up soooooo much this past year. Santa shopped at Aldo for her….which was great…until the boots didn’t fit and I had to explain to the girl working that “no, I don’t have a receipt ’cause it’s from Santa”. Thank you awesome Aldo girl for understanding and refunding the purchase anyway!
And, as much as Kylin’s grown up, the child in her still shines through…a stuffy can still light up a smile on her face regardless of how old she tries to act.
You see the book she got…. “It’s all about Me!”….yeah, that couldn’t be more perfect for her and friends!!! The only thing she asked for this year was a Chinchilla….ummmm, uh huh, we got it for her….what were we thinking?! I’ll admit he is cute, but caged animals really aren’t my thing.
Our kids open one gift on Xmas Eve…it’s always the same…an ornament for the tree and pajamas. They hope that each year it will be something else…but it never is hahaha. Ok, there may be a slight spin, I think they got house coats one year.
This year, as Daegen was opening his gift on Xmas Eve, he just had to point out that he doesn’t wear pajamas (which he doesn’t, he’s a sleep in undies kind of kid)….good thing I still had half a brain while last minute shopping and thought to get him a house coat again this year. (he was still unhappy that it was clothes lol) The look of shock on his face in the one image is priceless to me! hahaha
And little miss Kiella….well she thinks she’s 10 just like her big sister…all she wanted for Xmas this year was a booster seat for in the car and gym clothes! What the wha???…what 5 yr old do you know asks for things like that for Xmas?! She got shoes, boots, clothes, nail polish, and loads of jewelry and couldn’t have been happier. When Santa got her a doll at the Xmas party…she cried!!! Crazy girl!
And the dog, Diesel, doing what he does best….sitting beside something warm! hahaha
Oh, and I can’t forget the light bulb reindeer ornament in the middle, Kiella made that for Matt and I and I heart it so much!! I also got a Diana Mini which kind of took over (ok, so it completely took over!) for the rest of the holiday. Waiting for some film to come back as we speak so hopefully there is something that turns out and is worth sharing! I’m sure hoping so cause I’ve kind of fallen for that little thing hahaha.
Hope you all had a great holiday and I wish you all the best in the New Year!

Wow, wow, wow! I can’t believe Kylin turned TEN today! Which means…..I am a mother to a 10 year old! Wha!?!! When did that happen!? This past year she has really grown sooooo much, it’s incredible. She is literally changing right before our eyes lately. Boys, talks of puberty, friends…sleepovers….friends…friends…sleepovers….did I mention friends?! lol How quickly one forgets what it’s like to be this age!
Happy Birthday Kylin!! Hope it’s freakin’ awesome!!! We love you more than you can know. ♥♥ xoxoxoxo
She finally agreed to hang with her Mom for one afternoon (with a friend of course ) so I could have a real session with her (we haven’t done this is way too long). Here’s one for now…many, many more to come very soon!
