semi wordful-less-ish wednesday - jacob

jacob, pullen park, mother's day 2012

 

even at 10 years old, jacob still "plays". he plays with cars, transformers, power rangers, and even rides his bike. at 9 years old, ryan was talking about girls. the two of them are so different. jacob is so easily entertained we often joke that he could play with the wind and keep busy for hours. elijah is even following in his footsteps. the two of them are so much alike it's uncanny.

however, since jacob turned 10 in january, every now and then he will show his "big kid" side. the side where clothes and image is important, girls are no longer gross, and xbox and music take the place of board games and disney channel.

he is definitely growing up!

i wanted to share so many of the other photos i took on mother's day this year but i still don't have my laptop fixed and i have resorted to editing through one of the free photo editing sites.

did i mention it sucks? it sucks!

did i mention i want to whine like a brat? i do!

did i mention money is tight and  i may have to wait a really long time to get another computer? i just might!

but, i am trying to keep a positive attitude about it all because being a brat and throwing a temper tantrum isn't going to make a new computer land in my lap. and if you like phone photos, crappy edits and SOOC shots, you are in the right place.

..........

this was nearly a full body shot that i love cropped like this. and i am actually pretty pleased with my edit considering what i had to use. 

linking up with the paper mama, angry julie monday, and then she snapped, and sarah halstead.

happy mother's day!

we love our moms!

unfortunately, we do not have enough photos of our parents in recent years. most of my photos of my parents are actual photos that i have in an album and would rather suffer a million paper cuts than try to get them scanned and put onto my computer.

so, these photos will have to do!

we hope that every mom out there has an enjoyable day!

2003 - my mom, deborah with me.  i look like a giant kindergartener in those awful overalls.

2003 - my step-mom, brenda with my neice, leah.

2010 - jason's mom, wanda with his dad, david.

these three women are truly amazing not just because they are our moms but because they all have lived inspiring lives. perhaps someday soon i will share their stories.

happy mother's day!
