Aloha Friday

If you are looking for my Friday videos... look here!

I ran across this today and thought it would be fun to try.

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.

"In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response."

She then asks that you post a question on your blog for others to answer.

Go to An Island Life and answer her question and check out the other questions too! Answer mine, answer hers, answer all...your choice. Let me know if you post a question on your blog and I'll stop by and answer yours!


My question is: How often do you take pictures/videos of your kiddos?

I try to take pictures at least every other day. I try to get at least one video of each boy a week. Posting them on my blog has been motivation to do it, but I also think it will be a great keepsake for them once they get older. I also try to make at least 1 scrapbook page a week (this one is a bit more challenging to get around to each week). My goal is to create cd's/dvd's for each boy with all of their pictures and videos. Then they can look back and see their day to day activities and growth. I feel that with digital photography/videography there isn't as big of an excuse to not have these collections.

  2. I'd say every day! I never want to look back and say...I wish I would have taken a picture of that! I take THOUSANDS of pictures every month! We love looking back on all or our pictures and having a good laugh!

  4. I was planning on taking pictures of my kids everyday in 2009, but considering it's the 9th and I haven't done it yet, yea, I don't think it will happen.

  7. When they were young, I was snapping that thing all day long. Nowadays when they're home I try to take pics several times each week.

  9. My children are grown and I have not taken pictures of them in a long time.

    When they were young I was always taking pictures of them.

  12. Hubby and I are constantly taking photos of the boys. We do not have a video camera, but often use the video mode on our cameras to capture memories. Like you blogging motivates me to keep up on things.

  13. I try to get some a few times a week and any time we go somewhere. As they get older, it gets harder.

  16. That is an awesome idea...will you still do it once they head off to school? I find it much harder with the girls in school now. But yet, there are days I don't take a picture of K and he is home with me. Hmmm
    I better get on that, because you are right...no excuse.

  17. I am trying to take a photograph every day, there is a huge lapse in my photos, and I am trying to be better about documenting the kids.

  18. Since I have started blogging, I have been MUCH better about taking pictures!

  19. I wish I would have taken more or I should say I wish digital cameras had been available when my boys were little. Now I take pictures of them usually when there is a special event.

  20. I try to take pictures at least once a week! When she was an infant, it was practically every day! Sometimes she's not so into the video camera at the moment. I'm sure it won't be long and she'll be hamming it up every day :-)

  21. You do such a great job with documenting. I really try to get pictures a few times a weeks. Sometimes more, but hardly ever less. I am much worse about the videos. I would say I only get that once or twice a month. I really should do it more.

    Great idea for Friday.

  23. Not as much as I should. However, I'm currently taking an online photography course so I hope to take more soon.

  24. We take so many pix that we just had to buy 2 Gb of memory for the computer! I like to take everyday shots and email them to my hubby at work... and I just want to remember EVERYTHING about their lives... is that too much to ask? Ha!
