Last post for 2007!

Jack got a new bike for Christmas. Actually his first "real" bike. It is a 18in wheel, big step from his tricycle. He is still pretty slow but picking up speed everyday. He is so proud, and loves that it has a #5 on the front since he is five!
Lighting Jack!
This is a picture of Jack on his bike. Notice the tiny green man (his dad) in the background cause Jack is so fast, daddy can't keep up LOL!

Our Baby Girl!

No surprise the girl is stubborn just like the rest of us. She would not wake up, even (saves that for midnight) after a ton of caffeine and chocolate, but we got a face with an arm. She is pretty darn cute, wont be long now. Oh and she had hair!

No solid name yet, leave suggestion if you have them!

Finally a new session, which went great!

A two year old that didn't run away from me!

Golden Sunset!

Trying to find the beauty in my day, I think I found it!

Thunder Birds!

Air show from a couple weeks ago.

B/W and Color of Alex.

Thanks Melissa for the PS help. My ps is still down, so I wont be posting as much.

Happy Birthday Jack!

SOOOO a little late with this one, but my BABY turned FIVE on the 19th! Unbelievable! He is so proud to be five now, he had a bowling party and it was lots of fun.

Izzy!!!

We will miss you so much Izzy. Our sweet Izzy is gone, somewhat sudden. Izzy was such a sweet cat, he was a chubby guy and had THE cutest face. I will miss him laying our our chests as we watched tv and the way he would lay on my feet when I was on the computer. These are all recent pictures of him and the top one was the last on record!

Off topic, my PS is not working so I can't edit any pictures, not that I have a lot to show at the moment anyway!

Night time shots!

The kids LOVED the dancing water show. They look calm in this shoot, but believe be they were going crazy dancing! Second shot was a cool car at the same location that night.

New Haircut!

Usually undecided on black and white or color. I got the honor of taking a few clicks of Mr. J. He was done after about 5 minutes, so I am glad I got a one I liked. I can't believe he is almost five, and he is looking So much like my brother (Uncle Johnnie)!

Wide angle puzzle fun.

I Found My Sun Glasses

Outside, after who knows how long. I think I have since lost them again though lol. Good thing I buy the cheap ones!

Goodbye Summer. I feel like I missed it completly. BUT I guess I will get some warm weather for a couple more months anyway. I might actually get out the kiddie pool today. I am actually looking forward to Florida "winter" though lol. Is it starting to get cold where you live?

Goodbye Old Oak!

So I am a tree murderer! This tree was in out back yard yesterday and is now gone. I LOVE trees and did this one as well , but this one was taking over our yard. We could not grow grass in the back half and the roots were actually under the sidewalk on the other side of the fence. So we decided to cut her down, and I feel so guilty.

BUT, it is so nice to have this space back. I hope to make it look nice back there so we can actually go back there more offten! Inside our house is a cave, and now we even have more light in there.

The shade was nice, but didn't do any good since we didn't go back there.

More from today!

Playing!

Some of my first shots with the 30mm 1.4 and 40D. My next purchase, a couple of kids that let me take their picture LoL!

My Big News!

So I have had the WORST summer (as some of you know) but even with all the bad stuff that happened, I did have some excitement. I have yet to tell my fellow bloogers, I am pregnant! Yep, that's right and this will make # 3 for me. After the shock of our surprise baby wore off and the all sickness, I am now very excited and a little nervous about having a 3rd child. The other exciting news is that the baby is a GIRL. She is due early February, which is my birth month as well.

I had to go straight to the store and buy something pink after the ultrasound. It was really weird though, I feel I don't belong on that side, too used to the boy side. I am sure it will all come with time.

Yep, that's my baby boy in the background!

Lens fun

First Day of Pre-K

Jack had a great first day and Alex was so mad that he could not stay with Jack.

Not sure what to title this one!

Taken in the darkness with my speedlight!

J wanted me to take his picture next to his tower, he stood there like a statue lol.

Are you a Goober?

Well this is a start I guess. I was fasinated with the star shape at the top of the goober peanut butter/jelly. Jack was excited when I bought this today!

Need some encouragment!

I am going through a REALLY hard time right now, and my photography has been put on the back burner. I even got a new camera (30D) and lens (T-17-50mm 2.8) and have barley touched them. I never realized how much emotions play in the creative process. I am sure it can go either way, but for me I feel I have lost my creative edge for now, and want it back!

Story to go with the new song soon, MAYBE!

P.S. the kids are doing fine!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!

My baby is TWO years old today!

More Austin and Hope!

These two kids belong to one of my best friends in the world, after all we have known each other since we were babies. I don't get to her or her family to offten as we live in different states now, but I love watching her kids grow through the years. They are some of the sweetest, well behaved kids I know. These are from my trip to MN this summer, just getting around to looking.

P.S. Watch that sun!

Two for now!

Austin ROCKS!

Will try and add more later!

Hangin with baby C

What a cutie he is!!!
