I Heart Plastic Bullet

So, I recently got an iPhone. 

My first Smart Phone. 

Pretty sad, I know. 

I've actually contributed in designing an iPhone application at work, but never knew how it actually worked since I had no iPhone.

Sigh…

I digress.

So far, I've only downloaded a few applications, but I will say there is one that has definitely captured my attention. It's called "Plastic Bullet".

By the name, it's pretty obvious that it is a war game, which allows you to hunt down and shoot your opponents. The objective is world domination. You can even connect up with friends and play against them. It's amazing. I stayed up until 3am the other night playing!

Okay. I'm completely wasting your time because that is a lie.

Plastic Bullet is not a war game. There are no opponents. No bullets. It is an app that allows you to turn your photographs into works of art by applying all kinds of cool colors, textures, borders, and composition styles to your pictures (no clue how they came up with such an off-the-wall name, but I'm sure there is good reason… maybe someday I'll look it up - but probably not).

I'll share with you a few of my favorite pictures that I've modified with Plastic Bullet!
(disclaimer: some of these pictures were taken with an old cell phone and the quality is pretty poor… but you still get the idea)

 (this is Sam when he was almost 1 - one of my favorite pictures ever)

(never paid much attention to this picture until I used Plastic Bullet - in addition to Charlie's sweetness here, I love the hat hanging on the basket and the sippie cup in front of him - LoVe) 

(love how it looks so old and weathered) 

(sweet brothers down on Volunteer Landing - dramatic depth and contrast) 

(scrumptious… green, golden, and hazy) 

(my little heart breaker… overexposed but great contrast and shadows) 

(sipping on some hot chocolate in Savannah… love the composition) 

(eskimo boy Charlie… dreamy) 

(first day of school… again, love the weathered look) 

(Central Park last year - love this one!) 

 (eskimo boy Sam in Breckenridge)

(Charlie monkey in Vail) 

(Charlie's first birthday - there's that booty again… perfection! Love the colors and composition) 

(Sam in Pensacola Beach… my sweet baby)

If you have an iPhone, this is a must have app … and if you have a different Smart Phone, look it up - maybe they have one for you as well. 
And if you don't have a Smart Phone…
well...
I'll give you a hug - cuz I know how ya feel. 
Really, I do. 
Kisses!

    I only need a willow tree to make my plastic bullet collection complete!

In That Space

Image
Wow! It's been a while.  Coming to this seat to reflect and write is always in the back of my mind, but sometimes it's just more complicated than others to actually get here. I have several significant events to share with you. I have pictures!! You must see! We've celebrated Charlie turning 5 (Oh my Lord! His world has changed!) We had our family Christmas time. We've had SNOW! We went skiing. Life keeps happening. I photograph it when I can. And I come here when it's time. It occurred to me today why I haven't been posting much.  This blog is primarily a place where I capture memories, store my photos, share a few laughs, and watch my kids grow. I tend to organize it around the photos I take. While I have a few pictures that I want to (and will!) share with you, for some reason my thoughts haven't been very focused on those photos or those events. I've kind of been in a weird space since the beginning of the year. It's not a bad space…...

… And My Most Silly Sweetheart ~ My Baby

Image
Finally, I get to introduce to you my baby ~ Charlie Aaron Hatcher. Chuckles. The most perfect nick-name there ever was ~ It's so profound as a mother to bring a new life into the world, and only a few short weeks after the little miracle arrives, you feel like you already know his personality and who he will be. I am describing Charlie to you today using nearly the same words I would have used when he was 3-months old. Funny, whimsical, stubborn - yet easy going, independent, and extremely loving (when he wants to be!) This child has enriched my life in so many ways. He is a little ball of energy, with a sassy attitude that cracks you up. And it's all topped off with a sugar coated sweetness that can melt your heart. I thought I had nearly mastered parenting, disciplining, and molding a child by having practiced with Sam ~ but come to find out I essentially had to throw out everything I learned with Sam, because this one has been a whole new ballgame. Amazing how that wo...

We Heart the Tomato Head

Image
It has become quite a tradition for the Hatcher family to visit our beloved Tomato Head anytime we have the opportunity. Because we tend to go out to eat a LOT… and because a good dining experience is quite high on our (or at list my) list of priorities, the opportunity to go to the Tomato Head presents itself quite frequently. Always once, many times twice per week. I do believe Sam and Charlie have even decided it to be their favorite place to eat (or maybe they just know it makes mama happy!) On Monday, while on our (home) vacation, we decided to take advantage of our glorious East Tennessee treasures up in the Smoky Mountains. Lucky us… there is a Tomato Head in downtown Maryville ~ so we had to visit as we were passing through. At both locations (Market Square and downtown Maryville), we prefer to sit outside. They have their trademark colorful lights hanging at both locations. Our meal always begins with blue chips and hummus. Always. Sam and Charlie gobble up their ...
