to-do

Blog. 

It has been on my list every day this week, but obviously the to-do's aren't getting done.  I was talking to Mandi on the phone today, and she asked why I hadn't posted pictures of my Utah trip yet. 

A rather sheepish "because I didn't take any" followed. 

And some sadness.  Because I don't get to see my Utah family often.  Because I like pictures.  Because the boys and I had a fantastic week there.  Because I missed the opportunity to document it all.  Because I tend to Remember what I take time to document.   

So tomorrow morning I'm making an exception by tagging a "to-do" list onto my next vacation (we're headed to Luna!).  With one item:  take pictures.  I'm not promising they'll make it onto this neglected blog quickly, but there will be pictures aplenty.  So stay tuned for my little cowboys because it's rodeo time!

Have fun in Luna! I'm looking forward to your cute cowboy pictures.

I frequently feel disappointed with myself because I didn't take a picture and thank goodness for blogging because I am much better with documenting our life. I look back at pictures before we had Carly and they are a sad excuse for documentation? I keep telling Carly she will be thankful that I take so many, but she has a hard time seeing that far in the future :)

When Mike and I went to Lake Tahoe in Nevada a couple years ago, I didn't bring my camera. I still feel sad about that.

Have a fun trip...I love looking at people's vacation pictures...living vicariously, you know!

We took the kids to an Air Show yesterday. I brought the camera, but the battery died after two photos. Try as I might to squeeze any droplets of life out, the camera would have none of it. It is disappointing. We had such a great day, and I want to have something to look at and remember. BUT not taking pictures also let me just be present the whole time, and that is good too. I don't want my kids to think that the pictures are more important to me than the experience. Sometimes I leave the camera home on purpose just so I won't be distracted by it.

My trip to South Africa and Hawaii ended in ME using a disposable camera!! Can you imagine. That should be against the law.haha
I didn't bring my charger-my camera has a funky battery. Same happened in Utah this month! I located a charger for sale, but ended up using my mom's camera. I know the feeling -I hate that ;)

I am seriously dissapointed that you did not picture document your Utah trip. What? Why?
Anyway, I miss you, feel like we haven't talked in FOREVER.

I am always sad when I don't take photos. I remember what I document as well. Dang faulty memory. I'm glad you took photos in Luna!
