Best Tree



My favorite tree in my front yard.  Easy on the eyes

1,698 Pictures and Video

 
 
On Halloween, I had this nagging feeling all day to download all the pictures and video on my phone.  As the day ended, I could not fall asleep, so I plugged my phone into my computer, and backed up all my pictures and video.  I had 1,698 photos on saved on my phone.  I don't have it in my heart to delete them.  This drives Andrew crazy!!! 
 
I use my phone to take all of my pictures and video.  It is always handy, so I can catch the sweet things my little ones do.  So many memories.  Brinlee's first dance recital, her first day of school, Emmett's birth, his first smile.  How could I delete them?
 
After my phone had been stolen by a funny one year old boy who is obsessed with technology and very slobbery, it started to not work so well.  I am so glad I listened that night because the next morning my phone was officially a goner.
 
I didn't realize what a big deal it was until I got my new phone, and later that evening I went to take a picture of Brinlee dancing in our kitchen while making dinner and the photo storage was empty.  I almost had a panic attack!  Then I remembered I had them safely stored away. 
 
I just feel that this time of my life is the best.  I love being a young mom, and I want to remember, and savor every moment, because it is going by so fast.  I also want my kids to see the cute little pictures of them taken when they were just babies.  They are so cute, and so fun.  I want Brinlee to be able to look back and know that she was always a happy girl, who loved to play, dance, and snuggle her brother.  I want Emmett to look back and know that he was always so funny, goofy, handsome, and messy!
 















 
I'm so glad that I have these.  Here are a few favorites, that could have been lost forever!
