The Way I View - Holidays

This post is the last in "The Way I View" series.  It's been a fun year! I'm glad I got the chance to get to know some amazing photographers a little better.


Lets get started.

She had a friend in the window during December.

Big family full of amazing cooks = a feast for Christmas! 

Patrick objected to baby Wet Willies for some reason.  ;)

They are all adults.  No, really. 

Our tree on Christmas Eve. 

I love getting something that gets this reaction.  :D  A fourth xbox controller.  I think that was the favourite present.  It's definitely been getting a lot of use over this holiday break.  ;)

And finally... oranges for the New Year.  Well, clementines really.  :)

Please visit the other photographers in my group one last time!  :)  I'm linking up to Linda.

The theme for this month was Blessings.

Here are a few of our blessings...

Kitties to love.

Brothers to hang out with.

Humans to love you.

Five gifts from God.

Favourite kitties for everyone.

Gorgeous blue skies.

Dollhouses to play with.

Breathtaking sunsets.

The Way I View - Halloween

The theme for this month was Halloween/dress up.

We actually didn't go out on Halloween night this year.  It was raining and cold... so we stayed in and watched a movie instead.

And part of the reason the kids were okay with that is we had fun at the Scary Party last Saturday!  Here are a few shots from that.

Photobombed!  :D

My niece. I think she was a flower fairy. :D

My purple princess fairy. She wasn't feeling well, but still had fun!

A baby bear.

He was Justin "Beaver". :D I laughed so hard. I wish you could see his beaver tail. ;)

And the kids favourite part of the party? The puppies!!

So, that's what Halloween looked like here!  Visit Mary to see her view.

It's that time!  :)

The Way I View theme this month was "Back to School."

Back to school means...

Blank planner pages.

Schedules ready and waiting to be checked off.



Math manipulatives stacked and ready to go.

Books waiting to be labeled and put on the shelf.

Canadian History books that I'm planning to use.

And reading.  Lots of reading.  :)

Visit Renee to see how Back to School looks for her!  And follow the train.  When you get back here, you've completed the circle!  :)

The Way I View - Summertime!

It's August already.  Really?? I swear it was June yesterday.  Sigh.

It's time for The Way I View.  The theme this month was summertime.

Here's how summer looks here.


Beach time.

Park time is no fun when your mom has a camera... apparently. ;)

Lots of watching baseball.

Ethan scoring a run!  Woot!

Finding flowers.

More playground fun while waiting for baseball.

That's it for now!  Head over to Sandy's site and check out her view of summertime.

See you later!

It's that time again!

And I almost missed it.  Seriously.

The theme for this month was "Motherhood".

Well... it's been a bad picture month.  My computer has been giving me grief, which means that I can't download/edit pics.. which means I don't take very many.  But here are two that I think fit the theme.  :)


First - Edna and Bob.  Edna was the first "mom" in the barn.  :)

I took that picture through a little hole in the barn door.  :)


And... nothing says "motherhood" like taking your kids to their dance competition in Niagara Falls... and then walking with them down to the falls from the hotel... and realizing you're at the wrong end... and then walking so far so they can see the Horseshoe Falls that you lose the bottoms of your toes to blisters.  Yep.  Good times.  ;)

(And just to be clear, the one in red is my niece.  Although I'd happily adopt her.  ;)


So that's my take on Motherhood.  Maybe next year I'll try to get into a picture or two.  ;)

Please continue on through the train and leave some love!  Your next stop is Sandy's blog.
