Photo Challenge Days 10-14

Another week of the challenge, and more fun pictures!

Day 10 - Childhood Memory

One of my favorite childhood memories can be found in this picture of a picture.


This was taken right after my first dance recital as a kid, we danced to Michael Jackson's Beat It (don't you love the ridiculously baggy pants?).  It's one of the only photos that I can find of me with both of my grandmothers who have sadly both passed.  I will forever cherish this snapshot, as well as the memories I have of those two amazing women.

Day 11 - Something Blue

Chris and I try to collect items to remember the trips we have been on.  I had to hunt through a couple of shops before finding the perfect sized, blue steel drum in Trinidad & Tobago.


This shot captures some extra blue in the form of our Las Vegas sign, and those tiles from San Antonio with our wedding date on them.

Day 13 - Yourself with 13 things


13 of my favorite DVDs in our collection: Saved by the Bell, Clueless, Vegas Vacation, L.A. Story, Wedding Crashers, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, The O.C., The Sound of Music, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, The Italian Job, The Incredibles, The Hangover, Dazed & Confused.

Day 14 - Eyes

I love my husband's eyes!  One of the features that I first noticed about him.  He likes to call them brown, but I think you'll agree with me when I say they're a little more hazel.


The expression he was making while I took these pictures was pretty hilarious.

What are some of your favorite DVDs?

  2. Aww, that's great to have a photo with both grannies! I don't have one, I honestly don't remember my 2 sets of grandparents ever meeting, living on different continents and all. They would have met at my parents wedding, but after that I don't really know how much they kept in touch.

  4. Thank you! I was pretty emotional when my mom found the picture after my last grandmother passed, I quickly took it to make a copy.

  5. That distance would make it so difficult! My grandmothers lived in New Jersey and New York and I grew up in Philly so that did make for easier gatherings.
