Spring joys.

Yesterday I spent my entire day (almost) outside on my back porch, doing homework and attempting to the computer back on order. And, being the springtime-loving person that I am, I took alot of pictures, pretty much of the whole time I was outside.

 My setup outside, beginning at 10AM.

 Breakfast: toast with nutella, and orange juice (while listening to the song Orange Juice by Brianna Gaither. Go listen to it)

 A pair of my favorite shoes. Red jelly flats. 

 At this point I started playing with my camera and using my Diana F+ lenses on my Canon DSLR, and began rejoicing because the fact that I can use liveview makes taking pics with the Diana lenses SOOO much easier!

 How cool is that. I think it's cool. 

 My new Brianna Gaither CD! Love!

 I love this one. 

 This reminds me of when my dad taught me how to make necklaces out of these little flowers. I still do it to this day sometimes. 

 I literally chased this butterfly around for 30 minutes taking pictures of it. He was a good model, for the most part. 

 I love this one and how the Diana lenses made the space around him that weren't focused almost blur in a circular motion. So cool. 

 Lunch: Vegetarian Mexican Casserole. Gotta love my daddy for coming up with this one. 

 Chloe Ginger has recently decided that she loves to go outside, and wants to. And finds it awesome. And we are just shocked. I mean, shocked. She hasn't been outside a day in her life. Its crazy. But super cute. 

 The setting sun produces such pretty colors. 

That was my highly enjoyable weekend, what did you do with yours?

The past week, via photos.

This past week I:

Took pictures of dice while Trent taught a class. And yes, I was still paying attention.

This is Daniel. He's great. Except for when he takes pictures of me.  

 Rancho Grande. Great food. 

 Emily Paige. I heart her. 

 Aim flag ceremony. So proud of Hannah.

 Sitting area in Cafe Sol

 I have to say, bet candid shot ever. I love his expression in this pic.

 The lovely Miss Karyn.

 Amazing brother/sister duet. 

 "Coffee" drinkers. 

 They danced, alot. And it was adorable. 

 Me and the lovely Karyn

 Brianna Gaither! Such an amazing voice (and hair, just saying).

 Happy Birthday Daddy!

 We kinda failed...... Epically. Ok, I failed epically. 

 My adorable mommy and daddy. 

 My version of a birthday card.

 Something my mom has been working on (although, this is one that my mom's friend made..). And when I took this pic was when I realized that my camera was capable of live view! Which made sooo many pics I took today possible, and I will share them tomorrow. 

 This week's challenge: wear jeans the whole school week. This was Tuesday, and below is Wednesday. I made it through Thursday, although I don't have Monday or Thursday pictured. And Friday came, and I snapped. I just couldn't do it. My dresses called to me. 

 On Wednesday we went to Genghis Grill to celebrate my daddy's birthday (and to raise money for my prom! Woot!). And it was super good. I tried the tofu, and I actually liked it. The texture wasn't what I expected, but it was still good. 

Tomorrow I am planning a HUGE post of what I did all day today, and how much fun I had. So... stay tuned! 

What all have you been doing in the past week? 

XOXO, Abbey Elizabeth
