November 2014 - Whistling In The Dark

http://thirteenstreetcircus.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

I can't believe that Thanksgiving was 10 days ago! I'm just barely getting the motivation to look through my photos and do a little write up about it :( And at first I was REALLY disappointed in what few pictures I did take. You'll see for yourself here in a minute :) But then I realized that it's all good. Honestly, I feel about 5% motivation these days to take photos or to blog. I went 12 days without posting anything on Instagram! Yes, that is my sister, TaNeal, making (intentional) faces in the backg...

December 2014 - Whistling In The Dark

http://thirteenstreetcircus.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

I usually send out holiday cards right after Thanksgiving. I had them ordered and sitting around on time. and then it took me weeks before I got around to addressing them -they barely made it out by Christmas! I've said it before -but I'll say it again. I LOVE getting these cards in the mail! Sending holiday cards is becoming a dying art :( Thank you to everyone that took the time to send one to us! I keep them here on our front door for months :). Damon makes the MOST adorable cards! Thanks again for ma...

May 2015 - Whistling In The Dark

http://thirteenstreetcircus.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Red Butte Field Trips. I had the pleasure of being asked to join both Damon and Jonas' class on their field trips to Red Butte Gardens ;). That area is gorgeous and our guide was excellent! To not going with D's class (because I'd been there a few days before with J and just wasn't feeling it ;) but I'm glad Damon talked me into it! Very fortunate to live within a short distance of so many incredible places! Mom's are sooooo awesome. For real! I have so much love, respect and admiration for my mother&#46...

October 2014 - Whistling In The Dark

http://thirteenstreetcircus.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

All Hallows Eve 2014. This year our Halloween was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! In my opinion, it just may be the best Halloween I've ever had. Not even joking! We carved our pumpkins the night before. And they turned out A! Also, I lucked out and got to plan the Halloween parties for Damon AND Jonas' class :) But since I could only be in one place at a time I ended up doing a darling photo booth and craft in Jonas' 1st grade class (with a Polaroid camera that completely blew their little minds! Another thing that...

January 2015 - Whistling In The Dark

http://thirteenstreetcircus.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

The Lost Photos From January. I'm slowly, but surely catching up on my posts! And once I'm all caught up I vow to never again get behind! Now someone, please hold me to that ;). Okay, technically this picture was taken on Damon's birthday (12/28) but it never got posted and I think it's a really great photo of Morgan so I pretty much have. Seriously though. What the hell is up with this weather? If only I had money for a summer home in Alaska! Holy smokes. Check that out! Jonas was in heaven! Speaking of...

The Emerald City (finally!) - Whistling In The Dark

http://thirteenstreetcircus.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-emerald-city-finally.html

The Emerald City (finally! So awhile back I mentioned a trip to Seattle ;) Don't even ask me why it's taken me TWO MONTHS to get around to blogging about it. But I'm now ready and better late than never and all that jazz. right? Way back on May 27 Ian, Ty and I hopped on a plane and spent 6 lovely days in the charming city of Seattle. Here is our trip as told through the lens of my (always present) camera :). This was my very first time travelling without Damon and Jonas! Initially we had plans to take a...

Experience Music Project & The Space Needle - Whistling In The Dark

http://thirteenstreetcircus.blogspot.com/2015/08/experience-music-project.html

Experience Music Project and The Space Needle. So there's this thing. You may have already heard of it :). We did spend quite a bit of time at the EMP though, which was something that Ian and Ty were really looking forward to. They had an exhibit of Star Wars costumes that was absolutely incredible! The evolution of Darth Sidious/ Emperor Palpatine. See what I mean? Super suberb stuff here! That's Ty there. They had the craziest stuff at this place! PS I love this picture of Ian!

Seattle Central Library, Frye Museum & The Gum Wall - Whistling In The Dark

http://thirteenstreetcircus.blogspot.com/2015/08/seattle-city-library-frye-museum-gum.html

Seattle Central Library, Frye Museum and The Gum Wall. Years ago, someone told me that anytime you find yourself in a new city you should visit their main library. And I imagine the Seattle Central Library would be a perfect example of why this is such a good idea. What a stunning building! One of my very favorite photos of the trip - The Frye Salon. One of the only things I knew about Seattle was that they had this gum wall. I'm always seeing pictures of it. So I was surprised to find out that T...My na...

February 2015 - Whistling In The Dark

http://thirteenstreetcircus.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

The Lost Photos Of February. I just might vote this as one of my very favorite pictures from this year. I love how it perfectly captures an everyday moment in our lives. I also love how Jonas is tipping his cup upside down hoping to get one last tasty bit of gelato ;). Sunday morning art project. See that lovely lady sitting next to Ian in the teal sweater? That's my Grandma Darlin' and all these wonderful people came together to celebrate her 79th birthday :). Well, the dryer stopped working again just ...

Pike Place Market - Whistling In The Dark

http://thirteenstreetcircus.blogspot.com/2015/08/pike-place-public-market.html

I dare you to set foot in this place and not take a million pictures :) It just doesn't happen! There are so many things here to see! I clearly recall our first visit to Pike Place. Making mental notes like. 'oh! I need to try that'. and "next time I'm going to buy one of those". and "get a picture of that when we come back! Should I try it? And on and on and on :) To walk through this place is complete sensory overload and it's incredible! All of the hype! And those doughnuts were amazing! This was our ...
