Day 11: Something Blue

My picture for "Something Blue" is my Hardy Boys Mystery Books. I love them to death. I collect them. I also collect the Nancy Drew Mystery Books. I know that they are definatly under my reading level since I am a junior in high school, but they are so much fun to read. I mainly find them at library sales and the D.I. With us moving, I've had to box them all up. Which was not much fun because I always see them in the open. They are the only books I have on my bookshelf.



This is not all. :)



Recap and Day 10: Childhood Memory

So just a recap. My sister-in-law and I are doing a 30 photo challenge. Every 10 days I'm re-posting the challenge so we are all on the same page (or so to speak). So we have already done 1-9 and today will make 10. Go check out her pictures HERE.

Day 10 is a childhood memory. It's kind of tricky because I had a lot of ideas for this one. I could just sum it up and take a picture of my house. It has so many memories inside and out. It's been announced officially that we are moving. It's true. It's been kind of hectic around here since we are packing everything up. Looking for boxes has been pretty fun though. We check the businesses around our area. We are moving into my grandma's old house. She passed away last July and so we have been thinking about it and we decided that we want the house as ours so....now we need our current house up for sale. We are quickly packing and fixing things up.

Anyway so the real Day 10 picture for me today is my stuffed animal bear. His name is Gus. Gus has been with me since I was 7. I got him for Christmas. Since then I always ask for a teddy bear for Christmas. It's sort of a tradition now. So here he is.

Day 9: Someone You Love

Tonight my older sister and I were bored. Which is not a suprise in most cases. So we decided to color. Legit Coloring. We got out my IPod and cranked it up. We put glasses on and Lip Synced. It was so much fun. I think we laughed and sang more than we colored though. I think in the half an hour we did it I only colored ONE page. So my picture today is definatly someone I love. My older sister. :)

Day 8: Bad Habit

I think that one of my bad habits is that I listen to too much music. (Or at least others think so) Also when I love a certain song.... I tend to play it into the ground. Yes I admit, I'm guilty of that but can you blame me if it's a good song? My younger sister says that I listen to my music 24/7. Which at times just drives her up the wall. So that is what my "Bad Habit" picture is for today. My beloved IPod.
The current songs that I listen to (all the time) are...

"Another One Bite's the Dust" by Queen

"Tell Me Why" by Dion and the Belmonts

"You Can Call Me Al" by Paul Simon

Day 7: Fruit

Just one question....HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU MAKE A PIECE OF FRUIT LOOK ATTRACTIVE???? This question has been puzzling me ever since I first saw the list and even with the picture up, I am still wondering. At my house the fruit and the ongoing option for an after school snack is and I quote, "I don't know how about an apple, orange, or a banana....I just bought some today." My sister in laws picture is so much better. She makes it look like you will enjoy eating it. Like there's a variety. An apple is what I had on hand or so to speak so....here is my semi-attractive apple. :)

Day 5 High Angle & Day 6 Low Angle

My sis-in-law and I both agreed that we would do both of these days together since they were so similar.

                                             Day 5: High Angle

                                             Day 6: Low Angle

Day 4: Something Green

               I'm going to explain it a bit. This "green picture" is a picture of my ProStart logo on my chef's jacket. ProStart is what I have been doing for most of the day. For those that don't know. I love to cook. At my school they offer a class that teaches us to cook on a college level. Today we competed at the Capitol building against all the other schools in Utah that also offer the class. This picture worked the best for me today since I saw everyone and their dogs wearing it.

Day 3: Clouds

       Today was a little more difficult than I thought as far as picture taking. To start things off, the near future forecast says it's going to rain. On top of that, as Winnie the Pooh would say, "Today is a very Blustery day."It was so bad that it ripped our mailbox off the side of the door. So I waited and waited a bit to see if the gray sky would look any better than it did. Which sadly, it didn't. I watched my window often and ran out to take a picture (before the wind blew it away). It turned out better than I anticipated. The sky was completely gray. The clouds you see where very dark. No blue sky at all. :(
      I text my sis-in-law and asked her what to do since it defiantly wasn't working for me at the moment. She said "....Lol Ummm get creative??" So here's my attempt.

Day 2: What I Wore Today



Nothing totally special...Reminds me a lot of cotton candy.

Then I wore the Snoopy necklace below and some pink flower earrings.



This is a very special necklace to me. My friend brought it back from her
trip to Knottsberry Farm. She and I have a little thing for Snoopy.

Ice Fishing

Last weekend my Dad took us up to Strawberry Reservoir and we went ICE FISHING! We brought our really great friends and my sister-in-law and my brother. But it was a blast.
We woke up extra early to pick everyone up and we took off on the road. On the road we played "I'm going on a camping trip..." to which I kept butting in not knowing it wasn't my turn until I got to the middle of the alphabet and then stopped when everyone was laughing. Yes, it happened more than once. :) Right before we got there we saw a white truck caught in the snow and so with our handy dandy winch we pulled them out.
     When we got to the lake we layered our clothing which seemed as though we all looked like we gained 5-10 pounds. We set everything down in a nice area and we started making holes with the Auggers.

                     This is the first hole that we started.

                   A little bit away we started another one.
    Meanwhile back at the first one they are still going after Dad and my brother have already made 4 others.

  How many people does it take to drill a hole? Finally help steps in and we answer the question.

      We really had a great time, here are some more pictures.

                                   

I actually fell asleep in the sled at one point and there is nothing better than cheeze-its and Harry Potter.

 By the end of the trip we realized that we didn't use as many layers as we thought we would. We didn't catch anything (we almost pulled in 1 and we got a couple of bites) The only thing we caught was a sunburn. The day wasn't a total loss because we took the sleds and went sledding after.

30 Day Photography Challenge
