Photo Friday 2014 ~ Week 15

This week we are finally slowing things back down now that all of our out of town visitors are gone.  I miss them, but it's nice to be just us again, you know?  I didn't get my camera out at all this week, but I did get some shots last Friday from the beach that I took after my last post, so I'm just gonna count that.  I've been busy learning how to Instagram which is like my new favorite thing.  It's so easy!  I now understand how you could go weeks without picking up a 'real' camera.  If you want to follow me on Instagram just search for shawnapeto and you should find me.  I still don't get how the hashtag thing works so if you are on there feel free to explain it to me!  I feel so behind the times...when did I get so old?!?

The kids joined a junior golf league this week and we went to the course last night to play 9 holes.  It was so fun to watch them and they learned so much.  And I got in quite the little workout walking the whole way with them.  I'm looking forward to their weekly matches.  They go out at 5pm and are the last people on the course so we get to enjoy the sunset and have the place to ourselves.  I forgot how beautiful golf courses can be.

I have some beach photos and a golf photo to share this week, and since those 2 activities are a big part of our lives since we moved here I think it's rather appropriate.  Here are my favorites.

I took this with my iPhone last night.  The sprinklers came on as we left the last hole.  It was so beautiful watching the sunset and being outside in the gorgeous weather.

I love her reflection in this one.  I have a sort of obsession with shots of her like this at the beach, but I just love them so I'm going to keep sharing them.

My little niece.  I sure miss her!!  She was having so much fun playing in the sand.

The boys.  I know this isn't like the most creative or best photo, but I just love it anyway.  I love that they are best friends and that they get to have so many fun memories growing up together.  They had matching shirts and they were so excited about it, it was adorable.  I just know I will love looking back on photos like this in a few years!

My obsession with back shots strikes again!  I love her hair like that. 

Instagram shots from this morning.  I took the one on the left knowing that his tooth would most likely fall out today, and I was right!  He asked for some granola as a snack and that did it.  He said he was eating and felt something too crunchy so he spit it out in the garbage and realized it was his tooth!  Then he couldn't find it and was crying because he wanted to keep it, so I had one of those crazy mom moments (you know, like the ones where you catch puke in your hands?!) and dug through the trash can and actually found it.  He says he's not giving it to the Tooth Fairy though...he's going to try to trick her and leave some little ball of paper instead of his tooth so he can keep it.  We'll see how that goes! :)

We are headed to the driving range this afternoon.  Golf is big in our house, what can I say...  Have a great weekend!
