Show us your life link ups

Today I am linking up with Kelly for show us your life. This week's topic is link ups other bloggers can join.

I co host a photography link up on Thursdays. It is called click chicks.


We pick themes monthly and every Thursday post pictures that go along with the themes. You don't have to have a fancy camera or have any clue what you are doing. We like to challenge ourselves and be inspired by each other. We hope you join us!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from this challenge.

This is from close up week.

This was black and white week.

This was happiness week.

Just looking back through the pictures from this challenge I can tell my photography has improved. I hope you join us!

The themes for July are:
4th- red, white, and blue
11th- fireworks
18th- food
25th- sports

I turned my camera upside down to take this picture.

We have to talk about what the themes for July will be. We will let you know!

improvement

When I upload pictures to my 2013 album I always see pictures I took at the beginning of the year when I first got my camera.

It just amazes me how much better the pictures are now that I am taking them in manual.

Click chicks Dad

This week's click chicks theme is Dad. I just thought to myself today that I need to clear my memory card. I'm glad I didn't because I thought the pictures I got the other day of Chase and his dad would be perfect for today. We were out front watering like we often do and Chase very slyly grabbed the hose from Dada. I love Hubby's expression. He is such an awesome Dad and Chase just cracks us up and is the light of our world.  

Mom week in May was one of my favorites. Can't wait to see all the pictures of Dads! link up!

eyes

It is no secret that my little man has stunning blue eyes. I always tell people that he gets them from his daddy. What do you think? I think Chase and Hubby just have the most beautiful clear blue eyes. I think mine are more teal/green blue.

Who loves this little selfie too?

co sleeping

Have you seen this baby sleep positions chart from howtobeadad.com? I think it is so funny! Especially since we occasionally let the monkey sleep with us and we totally end up in some of these positions.

I always try to take pictures and I think they are hilarious but I don't get much reaction from my facebook and ig friends.

This one cracks me up because Chase usually hogs my pillow so I'm left to sleep on the edge of the bed pillowless. This time I decided to try and get some pillow between my pillow and Hubby's pillow. Then who should come along but Chase. I adore this kid and love when he wants to wrap his arm around me but come on! We have a California king bed and we are all on top of each other!

This one is a combination roundhouse kick, h is for hell, neck scarf. There's Chase in his Santa (aka ho ho) jammies in June taking up my pillow on the left with his leg across Hubby.

Remember a year ago when I wrote that the three of us fit pretty nicely in our bed? Yeah, not so much any more!

Show and Tell Monday: Who I am

I'm linking up with Becky from mrs. to mama today for Show and Tell Monday. The topic today is Who I am.

The subtitle of my blog header kind of says it all. I am a Christian wife and mama that loves photography, party planning, and tries to look put together. Oh, and I love blogging!

I'm reading What's it like to be married to be with some other Christian mom friends and I'm working on my priorities. I can tell you I have spent this nap time editing pictures and blogging instead of cleaning.

I'm obsessed with my 2 year old son. I'll quote my favorite shows here, "I'm going to love you so much that no woman will ever be good enough!" -Monica, Friends

My hubby works his butt of to provide and save for us. He's the saver and I am a reformed spender. Seriously people my Nordstrom card is dusty! Seeing him become a father over the last 2 years has been amazing. Our son is so precious to him and oh they love each other and make each other laugh like no one else.

I'm an only child to two wonderful parents who have been married 33 years. They celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary a few months before we got married. We live 20 minutes away from them and my dad is retired so we get to spend lots of time with both of them.

During the school year Chase gets extra Papa time when I substitute teach 2 days a week to keep that saver Hubby happy. Mostly it is to contribute to my dream car payment.

I have an obsession with Pinterest which has led to over the top parties and a 30x30 fashion challenge.

Oh, I almost forgot! I co host a photography link up Thursdays. This week the theme is Dad. If you took pictures of any dads this weekend you should link up Thursday!

Can't wait to read more about you all!
