My Best Friend came back

My Best friend who has been missing for 2 years came back to see me. Good thing I still live in the same place. She came back with this cute little girl that she was more than happy to let me photograph. I just love her she is so cute.

Here are the ones that I got. Talk to you later Ellen since your the only one who visits!

My Nephew's 1st day of School

So I got up early and cataloged his day for my sister and came up with this collage from a template that I got from ILP.

My wet nephew

I haven't had a chance to shoot anything cool lately but I did get this great shot of my nephew at the park. My kids wouldn't let me take their pictures, but my JJ let me get his. Here it is, I just love it. I am gonna blow it up for my sister.

Just some recent shots

Here are just some recent images. I haven't been doing much with my camera (shame on me!) so I know I need to get on with it. Here are just two.

Been carved like a turkey

Sharing a little about me this time:

Well for the last few days a mole I had behind my right shoulder has been hurting and burning. I am not one for going to the doctor but my purse and my bra strap irritate this to no end. Well I decide to go to the doctor, Lord knows I am paranoid about getting cancer. So I go and they say well lets take it out and test it. I'm like ok. Well they are supposed to use a punch kinda like a human paper punch. They have different sizes and they were gonna use a 4 but Dr Vu (my primary care doc) says "Do we have a 5?" and the nurse says "No, but we have a 6." And Dr Vu says "Na, we'll just carve it out, can you get me a 3 scalpal". So I have officially been carved like a turkey. I got 3 stiches in my shoulder and it feels like someone punched me. I get out my stiches next Wed and I get back the results of my biopsy, so if you all could pray for clean results I sure would appreciate it.
Heres a shot of my stiches, hope ya aren't grossed out!

Our Camping trip

So we went camping this weekend and I got to test out my new D200 some more. Here are the shots that I got edited so far. Once I get more time I am sure there will be more to come. We all swam a ton and when I get my lame water disposable developed I will be sure to post some here. I wish that my oldest would let me take her picture. I will post what she let me get later. She looks so grumpy it is just too sad. Anyway. Here are the shots that I just loved and this camera is so amazing that all but my lame sunset is SOOC (straight out of camera) so I am totally in love. I have lovingly named my camera Jack cause he is very manly!

My D200 shots

Here is my post for today. I haven't posted in a while. I don't have too much time to type as we are going camping in an hour. Here are some shots from my new to me D200. Let me know what you think ! I love hearing from you all!

Some from camping

Our camping trip was great! We had an amzing time and it was so nice to get away from the computer for a little while. I got to spend time with the girls and just let the time go. I took pictures with my D80 but most were soft. Found out it is the camera so I will be sending it off and switching to the D200. Wish me luck!

Fireworks!!

Here are the fireworks! My wonderful brother helped me take these (he opened and closed the shutter for me while I held my 18 month old and I am so glad they turned out this colorful! f/9 at varying shutter speeds. Thanks for looking hope you had a great 4th of July!





My only red white and blue picture and I have hardly any in it!

Reflections

Alright. Here is our trip to the science center. The kids were uncooperative for pictures so I tried my hand at reflections.

I am throwing in the doggy picture I took of my Uncle's doggy. The poor thing has heart problems but he is the strongest little doggy I have ever seen.
As always thanks for coming by. I love hearing from you all.







This was inside the museum. Looking into forever!

Tons of Pictures!

Okay so I have needed to post for a while but it just seems like my time is all gone. Here is our update and our pictures. I know I need some new ones of Aimee, she is just so hard to photograph lately.

John is doing okay since his surgery. He has all new pain to deal with and I think it is bringing him down but we are trying to keep him on the up and up. We are just waiting to see what GOD has in store for us now. It's all in his good time.

Faith is learning so fast I have trouble keeping up. She has little to no interest in writing but she is getting better at spelling and I haven't met a more computer literate 4 year old besides my nephew. I suppose it is tragic that her parents are both computer nerds.

Aimee is crazy smart too. She sings row row row your boat. Just the row part is understandable but that means so much to me that she is so interested in learning. She tells her first knock knock joke. It's "Knock, Knock? And you are who's there, and she says fish." Thats the whole joke but I ask that you find another 18 month old that tells knock knock jokes. She also loves to fake sneeze so you will bless her. It's too cute.

And me, well I am finally on week 4 of my 8 week class that I started in Jan. I really didn't think I would have this much trouble. I am pushing forward. MLK's class is great and I am learning tons. Below are some pictures that I took of Faith the other night and also my project #3 from my class. It was to take pictures kinda journalism style and the convert them to black and white. There are a few in color too just because I thought you needed to see those too. This was our trip to the Scarborough fair.

Thanks for looking!




When we left for the renaissance festival it was beautiful. Then it started to rain. When we got there this was what we found. MUD!

My Nephew
My nephew
Faith hated that her shoes and feet were muddy. She cried for the first hour we were there. Then my brother washed her feet and she was fine after that.



This butterfly didn't make it.


These guys are there every year. They are too funny. I can't remember what there names are but they are the funniest show (to me) there.


The fairy of the fair. She is so pretty. She is there every year too. Can't remember her name either.


Ye Olde kid ride wench.
And ye old wench wagon. Their name, not mine.

A maiden's balcony

A cart shop selling wares.

And ye olde bow shop.
