Blain Family Pictures

So I am sure most of you have seen these pictures on Dustin and Jodie's blog but for those of you who haven't here are some Blain family pictures. It was fairly chilly day out and Dustin was leaving this day so we snapped a few shots as quickly as we could. I was shaking pretty bad (either from the cold, hunger, or I just couldn't hold a camera still for some reason) so imagine my surprise when a few turned out to be in focus :) Oh and we found out that if you want a picture of the whole family smiling at the same time just hang the kids upside down (that's not asking to get charged with child abuse or anything at all...)

P.S Don't I have the cutest nephews in the whole wide world!

Iphone pictures

So I decided to share some of my

pictures from my phone

I have a little to much fun with

instagram at times which is

an app for iphones that has

a bunch of different filters

you can put on your pictures :)

This one if from sometime back

in the summer when Nadine

and I where on a hike

The hardest hike we went on

and the most adventurous.

We were still out there after dark

trying to find our way back to the car

through a pitch black forest

without a flashlight

good times!

This one is from about a week ago.

It was a beautiful day so Markus,

Ryker and I went to the park and

played in the fall leaves.

I was picking leaves out of my

clothers forever afterwards!

Last but not least I couldn't resist

putting this one on.

Poor Tina the tiny green truck.

As the days get colder and I leave

in the mornings to a frost covered

car I miss my trusty

four wheel drive truck.

Bon Iver and running

I was looking at my blog a while ago and realized that it has been a VERY long time since I have posted anything. So the other day when I was running I took a few quick shots with my phone....edited them on my phone and now they are here for your enjoyment. The best part about my run was the first song that came on. I always just plug my headphones in and hit shuffle and then don't pay much attention to it after that. The song that came on was Blindsided by Bon Iver and it was talking about being blinded and at that moment in time I was being blinded by the sun. I am now fairly certain that my phone can read my mind....
Summer was officially over a few days ago which is very sad. I can't say that I enjoy any other season very much. On a positive note though I LOVE it when it is JUST cool enough to wear cozy sweaters, scarves and cute hats. So here is to the next six months give or take of bundling up in the winter woollies, freezing the minute you step out the door and driving a car that is not meant for snow! How is that for positive (read it as if I were saying it in a very bright cheerful tone)?
I hope you enjoy the picture and I will leave you with a little quote that I read the other day
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain"
