JULY: photo-a-day

Here's to July! I hope you enjoy these photos, since they are a little glimpse into my everyday life.


Day 1: ice cream
Ian actually had to be coerced into getting ice cream for this picture. Ha. Well...we had already had ice cream and taken pictures earlier that evening, but I wasn't happy with the way they turned out so I had to really convince him he wanted to eat another one just for this picture.


Day 2: pink
Today's theme is for Ian's daughter, Reagan Emery Williams, who at the age of 2 1/2 became a victim of Shaken Baby Syndrome. Today marks the 8th anniversary of her death. http://www.reagansrescuefund.com/

Day 3: mirror
This photo was taken while we were driving up to my sister's in Logan. I know that it is completely out of focus, but sometimes that's just the way life is. And sometimes that is what makes is so great.

Day 4: 'Merica
Happy 4th of July! We spent the whole day hanging out with family. Well, except for the few hours we snuck away to check out the Cache Valley Cruise-in. So many amazing cars!

Day 5: chicken
Gil was the ultimate chicken of the day...he chickened out of jumping off the diving board today and he is also wearing a chicken hat and doing the chicken dance

Day 6: special day
Every day is a special day when I get to be with this fella! (This day was deemed special day since it was our 2nd anniversary - from our first date. And Ian was sneaky by creating these themes, and planned to propose to me that morning. Of course I said yes! We waited a few days to make it public, since we wanted to make sure our family and close friends had heard directly from us.)

Day 7: chocolate
I absolutely love p'zookies. Chocolate chip cookies, fresh out of the oven, and ice cream! Yum!

Day 8: hero
He is definitely one of my heroes! Can't wait to spend the rest of my life with this man.

Day 9: libation
1: an act of pouring a liquid as a sacrifice (as to a deity)
2: an act or instance of drinking often ceremoniously

Day 10: anarchy
Our garden is rebelling and growing way too fast! I know you really can't see it in the garden, but pretty much everything grew a foot in the last 2 days. 

Day 11: favorite movie
I just watched Finding Vivian Maier, and I must say she was one talented woman! If you don't know who that is, go look her up. She is my inspiration for tonight's self portrait.

Day 12: handsome
It totally made my day when I came home from work and saw that these two handsome boys were visiting!

Day 13: naked
Just a couple of Nakeds in the shower together. He He.

Day 14: brother
This brother helped us with removing these annoying bushes tonight! Still a work in progress.

Day 15: silly
This silly man decided he could do a cartwheel. And he did!

Day 16: high school
I can't tell you how many times I walked down this sidewalk and through those doors.

Day 17: cactus
We found this cute little cactus on our hike today!

Day 18: fire
Oh, you know, just found some old firecrackers in the garage tonight. And we HAD to light a few. Sorry horses for scaring you.

Day 19: noon
Well, it was noon-ish when I took this picture at work. Our lovely laptop for entering work information. Yay.

Day 20: fairy tale
This reminded me of a book that I read numerous times as a young girl, Afternoon of the Elves. I wanted my own little elves to take over the back yard. Sadly, it never happened.

Day 21: jesus
Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of Jesus? I mean, who honestly comes up with my themes? Oh wait, Ian Williams does. So I made him come up with a way for me to accomplish this theme.

Day 22: fabulous
What is more fabulous than seeing this beautiful bird while eating a fantastic meal at Taggart's Grill? Nothing, I tell ya!

Day 23: candy
Who knows what kind of candy this is? If you do, what is your favorite color/flavor?

Day 24: lake
We went to Mirror Lake today, but it was too crowded. So we found a nice quiet lake to hang out at nearby, Pass Lake. We even got to see this fly fisherman actually catch a fish!

Day 25: hose
Watering the garden is a never ending job, good thing we have hoses and sprinklers. Thank you modernish inventions.

Day 26: airplane
I got to play airplane with Captain Hook today!

Day 27: parents
As you can tell, my parents were not very cooperative tonight. 

Day 28: coffee
I like the smell of coffee (sometimes), but I absolutely cannot stand the taste. What's your favorite flavor? If you don't drink coffee, what is your favorite hot drink?

Day 29: manly
What's more manly than a double rainbow?

Day 30: from the car
This was our view "from the car" during our drive tonight. Well, I was actually holding the camera out the window and over the car while Ian was driving. 

Day 31: talented
I wish I was talented and could play the piano. I just don't have the patience.
