My Week, Instagram Style

So, I decided to link up with Jenni and her wonderful blog for the weekly “Best of Instagram”. I must admit that since getting an Iphone, I have been spending WAY too much time taking random pictures and playing with them on Instagram. Actually, I would say I have been spending almost as much time messing with Instagram as I have Pinterest (which is saying a lot). What I love about Instagram is that you can take your own ordinary pictures and turn them into something extraordinary and almost professional looking by simply adding a filter or fading effect. Also, you get to practice your photography, and the more I practice the more I realize that the little details are actually the big ones. So without further ado…here is the best of Instagram.

1. Tuesday Comedy Night at Hey Joe’s with my girl Amber and new friends, Chad and Pete.                                                                                 2. Chad and Amber with Chad’s cat, Squidbilly. Don’t they look precious?

3.  Wednesday Trivia Night at Hey Joe’s. Yes, our team was called “Second Breakfast” (like the hobbits from Lord of the Rings). No,we did not win. However, there is always next time…                            4. When I came home on Friday, Cooper and his cute face greeted me :)

5. My Mom’s friend Donna invited Mom and me to go to P.F. Chang’s on Friday. Generally, I am not a big fan of Chinese food, but this place knows how to make some rocking spring rolls.                                            6. Also, they had some neat horse statues that I could not resist snapping a few photos of.

15. Babysitting Easton last night can be summed up in this picture. I chased him around the house for hours with his new birthday Nerf gun. He loved being shot at a little too much.                                                    16. Another of Easton’s birthday gifts: a spy pen, that “secretly” turns into a laser.

Have a blessed Sunday!
