12of12 | July


[click here to enlarge]

01. I didn't sleep well, instead laid in bed thinking about making a book about my time in Jerusalem (who knows why). So I stopped torturing myself, got up around 4am, and looked through the photo album. For whatever reason it worked, I went back to sleep and was able to get a little bit more rest.
02. I watched my two nieces while my SIL is on vacation. It's so nice that the three of them are close in age and all get along...for the most part.
03. When I got back from my run around 7:15 the sun was just hitting the tips of the mountain. This is the view from my bedroom.
04. I'm on week 8 of P90X. It was a yoga morning.
05. For FHE we all wrote notes to send to my nephew Landon who is at Scout Camp this week. He is so good about always leaving us notes and sending email that we all wanted to show him some love.
06. I've been growing my own basil this summer.
07. We had homemade pizza for dinner. Turns out pineapple is the condiment of choice.
08. Along with my nieces I also had my friend Jenica's 4 littles here as well. My 3 + my 2 nieces + my friends 4 = 9 kids. Did you know that is a whole loaf of bread? Luckily I wasn't alone for long. Jenica came back and we spent a good portion of the afternoon talking.
09. I love globes.
10. Tess had a chance to sneak away from the chaos for a bit and paint.
11. Drew drops from the morning sprinklers. It's amazing how spider webs capture water.
12. Adam ended the night by reading with the girls. I love seeing them this way.

When I woke up and found Bella in the kitchen making her breakfast I went to grab my camera and she said, "Oh, so it must be the 12th." I just looked at her and smiled. I wonder, do your families have you figured out?

Hope it was another enjoyable day. Make sure to share your link so we can all see.


Have a good one.
xoxo

Love the spiderweb picture! And I'm incredibly jealous of your view.

I always love the way the colors of your grids play together. My family totally knows when it is the 12th. On the way to the library I had my husband stop the car because I needed my camera. My husband said, "Only because it is the 12th, Miranda."

Lindsay said...

Yes, my family have made those "it must be the 12th" comments too.

I love globes too. I want to collect a bunch to put in our school room.

Goodness, you went back to bed, then went for a run and were home by 7:15?! That's not a whole lot of sleeping.

Thank you so much for writing Landon!!!!!

I ♥ fresh basil. I need to re-plant some. I can't get enough of that stuff! How do you take pictures of you in them? Do you have your girls do it or do you put it on a timer? You are so good about always getting a picture of you in the 12. I need to do better!

One of the things I miss the most about Utah is the view as the sun hits the mountains in the mornings. As always your pictures are so inspiring.

This month, it could be the same 12of12 that I could do for myself! I like basil, and I have it on my balcony, I like looking at the spider webs and what the water looks like on them, I also make homemade pizza with pineaple, I like looking at Franck reading a story with boys... How funny it is to see all those similarities. ...

And in a week, we will also have a great view to the lanscape. By the way, what a view!!

PS: I shared 12of12 on Facebook, and 2 of my friends love it. I guess they'll do it next year.
