Yes, that's right!

I completed 52 weeks of me being in pictures!

It took me longer than 52 weeks, but I DID IT!!

So, here I am..my last, current picture!

The kids & I at the zoo last week!

My, oh my!! One more to go! It took me longer than I thought, but sometimes it was hard to get in one picture!

Last Saturday, my friend's son got married. They are a young couple, but they have the Lord, and you know with the Lord, you can make it through anything!

I remember when we first met, her son was only 11 years old, and now he's a married man! Her husband married them at their church, and I don't know if there was a dry eye in there. It made me realize how fast kids grow up. I couldn't help but imagine that being one of my kids one day.

The sweetest part of the reception was when he sang a song that he made her a couple of years ago.

I know this isn't very clear, but I had my camera on super zoom!

And that his mom on the far left, our other friend Lisa, and then myself.

50 DOWN, 2 MORE TO GO!

Only two more weeks to go!!!!

My husband does not like this picture of himself, but oh well! My daughter took this picture of us while we were at the pool in Nevada. I knew immediately what I was going to use this for!

I wanted to save this picture from Eli's birthday so I could use it for today!

And don't you just love the angle on this picture?

Thanks, hubby!

I've made the commitment to see this through, and that's what I'm doing! Even if I have to post funky pictures like this, I will get to #52!!!

This was last week when we were out to dinner with my mom, sister, and her family.

Excuse the poor lighting, the people in the background, my oily face, my husbands greasy fingers, Veronica's goofy face, and every other distraction in the shot!

Five more to go!!

For Mother's Day, my boys made these necklaces for me in their Sunday school class. I didn't have one from Veronica because she stayed with us in the sanctuary that morning. But, aren't these cute? And I love that scripture! It was actually the one I used for my Sunday post too!

Alright...8 more pictures to go!!!! I can't believe I even made it this far. This meme is not as easy as it seems! I highly encourage any of you to just get behind any shot that you can. As corny as you feel sometimes, it is worth it!

Here's one of my good friends, Mary and me, on the morning our girls went to Jr. High camp. She's one of those friends that I can laugh with all day. You know, those kinds of friends that crack up at the same things you do, that nobody else gets? She's that person!

Please excuse the funky glare on my glasses!

I can't believe I have almost completed one years worth of pictures of ME in them! That is a miracle!

Here is Eli & me when we were eating out with my in-laws last week. He kept asking why I was taking pictures, and at one point, he tried to hide my camera. LOL!

Here we are at Denny's, enjoying our free Grand Slams!! She was so not in the picture taking mood (for once). It's funny when they try to ruin the picture by making funny faces!

Yes! I finally have another picture!

Here are Miranda, Veronica, and myself at the mall the other night! We took an ice cream break, and of course, that was the perfect opportunity to take pictures! I was feeling so yucky right here too. Cough & cold..ugh! Miranda looks so intense here, but she was making faces the entire time! When they start to do that, that's when I know they're tired of me taking their picture.

Just had to add this one in. I'm using this as my profile picture on Facebook.

This picture was tagged to me on Facebook at the perfect time because I didn't have any other ones to share for this week!

This was at a friends Christmas party, and yes, that is me arm wrestling my friend Lorna. We did once before in the cafe at church, and it was a total tie. You should have heard everyone encouraging us to go at it again. It was so fun!!!! I tell ya, both of our arms were hurting the next day, because even though we were smiling the entire time, we were both giving it our 100%!!

So, here behind me are some of the kids watching in amusement, but what you don't see are at least 20 of the men and boys to my left with cameras and cell phones taking pictures!!

And in all honesty, I was thinking of this movie the entire time.

Yes, I know, this is very close up, but it's all I have in the last couple of weeks! Actually, I do have one that I was in from last Sunday, but because I didn't like the way "I" looked, I'm not posting it. :)

So, here ya have. Just me and my youngest, getting ready to head out! I think the only resolution I will make for this year is to be more creative with the pictures I am in.

This is last week at the Children's Christmas Tea at our church. I am missing Isaiah in the picture though. He was supposed to serve that day, but he was taking so long to get ready. I left him at home, but it turned out that he didn't really want to go anyway. No wonder he was lagging.

This is Daniel and I in between soccer games during the tournament weekend. You can tell by his expression that he is just tired of taking pictures.

This was the day we went to the mini amusement park, and I took some random shots with the kids!

Danny didn't want to go on the roller coaster, so he and I are just waiting on everyone.

And here is the token tween photo. I'm sure this picture speaks for itself.

I decided to add in another picture of my husband and I. And yes, I do realize that this looks like every other picture I have. :)
