It’s Saturday night, which means it’s time for another creative project by Bets and John. We created a slideshow of our day at the Johnny Appleseed Festival, but John didn’t write music to it. Instead he recorded the sounds at the festival, along with what Miles had to say about it, with his iphone. (The quality will really surprise you.)
We are in LOVE with this kind of slideshow. Miles’ voice, mixed in with sounds from the day just makes our heart BURST. Please take a peek, and listen, to the sweetness of our afternoon. In retrospect, I wish I had taken more photos, but when you are holding food, pushing a stroller and watching after a two and a half year old, it’s hard to remember to take photos too.
Two words that Miles pronounces funny that just make my heart MELT: “festival” and “feather.” Oh, and when he asks for popcorn, he sounds like a little British boy, which REALLY makes our heart melt.
I took those photos with my old camera and lens, so they aren’t the same quality as my client images, but at least I could take a camera with me today and not worry about something happening to it. I stopped taking my camera with me on personal trips for a while there because I was spending too much time focused on getting the perfect shot and not being in the moment with my family. So I’m working on letting go a bit on my own personal images and just taking photos for fun. It’s very freeing, actually. So you will probably see more of my personal stuff on here, whether it’s an awesome photo or not.
Thanks for watching! Next personal project I can’t wait to do; photos from Miles first day of school, narrated by him. I can’t wait!!!!
OmGAWSH Betsy…..that is THE cutest thing I’ve seen in…..um….yeah, forever! HOLY CUTE BATMAN! Thanks for sharing! 😉
That seriously makes my heart melt! 🙂 Such a great idea Betsy and John!
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
You are right, my heart just melted and is laying on the floor in a huge puddle!!!! This is adorable, such an awesome and cute idea.
I LOVE how Miles says “festival” and “feather”, you are right! Hysterical!
All of the background noise and goings on makes this really cool, too.
Great job, love it!
this is way way too cute. i am looking forward to more of these in the future. 🙂 there will be more right!? how cute is he when he says festival!? ah! he’s adorable. 🙂
We melted over and over, again. Loved it. So much!!!
OK, watched it THREE times! ADORABLE!!
HANDS DOWN my favorite slideshow I’ve ever seen! Love the audio!!!! Such a GREAT idea!!!
Wonderful … add my heart to the puddle … adorable! 😀 (Oh, and happy anniversary!)
Betsy, this is so, so, SO precious. It reminds me a lot of the slideshows my peers do in journalism and I think that’s why I gravitate toward this kind of documenting life versus just carrying a video camera around. So special!
Thanks for sharing. That little pumpkin of yours is the cutest. And holy crap – I can’t believe audio is that great off the iPhone. All the more reason I’m coveting one now! 🙂
ahh Betsy this is so cute! Miles is adorable!!
That is SUCH a great idea! It’s so incredibly cute that you used his voice – it will be so awesome to be able to listen to that when he is older! Love it!
Oh, Betsy this is great! I’ve been a blog stalker for quite a while, but I had to comment when I saw this. I watched it twice and Miles’ little voice is TOO cute.
You can’t get more precious than this! What a great keepsake for a fun weekend.
How utterly adorable!!
Seriously, the most adorable thing ever! Miles, you are so cute and you are incredibly lucky to have amazing parents who are documenting your life this way. Happy Fall!
Betsy, you have the cutest family ever! Thanks so much for sharing this with me! I loved this!! Miles is so, so and so doggone darling! I miss you guys! Come on over again soon! Love, Judy
its official…my ovaries are bursting and my heart just melted. LOL Sooooo cute. I can’t wait until I’m ready to have a kiddo one day and I hope it’s as adorable and entertaining as your little one 🙂
oh. my. goodness. Miles is so adorable!!! His little voice, AH!
I’m a long time follower but rare commenter…but have to break-out on this posting…SO CUTE! You’re family is lovely as lovely can be. Thanks so much for sharing.
I think that the JAF committee should use that for future advertising. I’m certain they’d be delighted to see it. You’ve managed to capture the essence of the day,…without the smells of the fires and food cooking. Did you try the sweet potato delight? It was really good! Also, I really like the way the festival has kid friendly activities. I love the way Miles responded to everything. 🙂
Oh my goodness, that is just insanely sweet and adorable!!!! Such a fun mix of sounds and Miles’ darling voice and of course, beautiful pictures to go with it all. I can’t get over how much your husband’s voice sounds like my brother-in-law also. Very awesome slideshow. =)
Oh my gosh!! Cutest idea ever!
Ok, It’s me. I keep watching this over and over. I just love the sound of my sweet baby boy’s voice!!!!!
that is the sweetest thing I have ever seen! i love his sweet little voice too!
That makes MY heart melt! I love how he says “festival” and “feather” too!!!!! And what a sweet voice! I did a similar thing with my son a few years ago, when he was 6, and I can tell you that I totally treasure that voiceover now that his voice is starting to change. Seriously. It happens SO fast. I know everybody says that. It’s TRUE!
So cute! What an awesome idea, Betsy!

FestiBal…that is adorable!!!!!!!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!
