The Higby Gang 365 in 2011

A 2011 Challenge

Last year, a bunch of ~~my friends~~ the blogs I follow challenged themselves by taking a picture everyday in 2010. I'm not sure where the "resolution" came from, but I enjoyed looking at their life through their camera lens. And have decided to try it myself this year. I think it'll be a good way to get more familiar with my DSLR camera (which I currently use as if it's a "Point-and-Shoot") and will hopefully help me get back to blogging without the pressure of having to write more than a sentence or two. I can't promise that the pictures will be POSTED every day, but they will be TAKEN each day.

UPDATE: (October 2011) My laptop died back in March. It took a looooooong time to get it back. I'm working on uploading pictures I took while I was computer-less. But I'll be honest...there definitely wasn't 1 picture a day. Maybe next year...

3/27/11 - The Gymnast

True confession: I didn't take this picture. I couldn't go to Z's Gymfest...so Grammy took this picture for me. Thanks Grammy!!!

3/26/11 - A Boy and His Train

E loves...no loves...no LOVES...trains. So when he topped off his token tower, there wasn't a doubt in my mind that he'd ask for a new train.

3/25/11 - Who Dresses This Kid?

Absolutely no words.

3/22/11 - I Will Not Blink

Poor T. I don't get to take many pictures of him because he tends to blink. A lot. So today, he was DETERMINED not to blink! It took 8 tries.

We really need to start putting gel in her hair!

3/19/11 - The Last Day of Winter

It's chilly...very chilly...but the kids are still thinking about yesterday's 74 degrees. So we're jumping on the trampoline in our undershirts...again. Because it was so much fun yesterday!

We are SO excited to be done with winter! And what a way for it to end: 74 degrees and sunny! Lunch outside today!

3/17/11 - Happy St. Patrick's Day

Somebody forgot to pick out an outfit this morning with green in it. So, she had her mother draw a green shamrock on her hand. (She clearly needs lotion, too...)

3/16/11 - Untitled

I really don't have anything to say about this shot...other than I love it! But she's an easy subject!

3/15/11 - Boom Shacka Lacka

The boys in our house like to wrestle. They like to jump on each other. And their favorite landing site is Daddy! It's a simple game of "Boom Shacka Lacka": slap your forearm and elbow a few times, jump off the couch, run across the Family Room, and jump on Daddy's stomach...landing on your knees.

I love the expression on Shane's face...
