Where has the time gone?!

  It's been a long time! I was doing a great job of staying on track with posts and then we relocated and there went my focus on my blog. Well, a new year means new beginnings right? So here I am. Since I've written last I've created a website for my photography. You can visit it at www.jackiesimpkinsphotography.weebly.com 


  Well, Christmas break from school is over and today was the first day back for the kids. Since I was out and about anyway I brought my camera along to capture the sunrise. Every morning the sunrise here takes my breath away but I never have my camera with me since I'm just bringing the little guys to school. Today I made sure to bring it along. 


   It's just beautiful here! With the rolling hills and the fog from the creek and the houses clustered together it just reminds me a of a real life postcard. 



  This is another part of the neighborhood but in an area no homes have been built. Just gorgeous!


Slow down when you can and take in the beauty around you. So many times it's right in front of us but we're all in rush mode. Slow down and take in the natural canvas around you.

Today is the last day my son will ever be five. Tomorrow he will be six. He is so excited about growing up. He told when he wakes up he'll be so much taller than he is today. Kids are so sweet.

Everyday they're getting bigger than the day before, even little Colton. Everyday if you don't pay close attention to the wonders in your world and the excitement in your little guy's eyes it'll be gone before you know it. I know, this blog sounds absolutely pitiful. I have found myself so sad at the thought of my son turning six though! I don't want to miss a moment and regret it later, but sometimes in the busyness of life it's so easy to do. Today I payed close attention to everything and realized how many things I love but take for granted. I love it that my kids still love...

Comforts of Home

I decided last night that I am going to try to blog on more of a daily basis, or at least as close to a daily basis as I can get. This sounds like a cop out but it has really gotten hard to pull out the camera and take pictures as often as I'd like at home because I have learned through experience that the third child is the hardest. Not in a bad way, just a really busy way. It can be tough to clean house, get lunches made, make healthy breakfasts, homeschool my little preschooler, make supper, and try my best to keep Colton on a decent schedule, plus pull out a camera and snap shots of it all...but I'm going to do my best to try. My original plan for tonight was to snap some shots of us making my DELICIOUS banana bread but I had to rush through it because Colton got cranky and then Rob (hubby) pulled it out of the oven without telling me and the kids dug in and ate the whole top of the loaf. Shame on them, but it's so tasty who could blame them? Well, I happened to watch s...
