What a beautiful little family!

Last night I got to do something that I have been wanting to do for months. I got to do another photo shoot of my sweet great niece! She is just a living doll! Her mom (my niece) and big brother are pretty cute, too! The whole session went so good that I do not have a favorite photo! Maybe, just maybe, I could narrow it down to my top 10 favorites!

Remember this picture?

Well look at it now! I really had fun with this. I am home for lunch & I thought I would work on another picture. I decided since I have not posted in several days I thought I would share instead. My coworker thinks it looks like a scrapbook page. She is right, it has that feel to it. I wanted to learn how to do this to offer this to seniors. I did a few more last night. If I was a senior I sure would want one! Would you???

Working on a project...

I have been working on a photography project and I have fallen in love with this photo. I don't know what it is but I love it!

I think today I will go out and try to get some more pictures, I will share when the project comes out...

Last night I went to scrap-till-ya-nap. I had a blast! I used my new Amy Butler bag! I was perfect to carry my scrapbook & lots of other supplies. This is a picture I had Noah take the day I got it...I was so excited...ignore the cheeseball smile!! lol!!

Shanny-fanny, Krissy & Kristen got to go with me. It was Kristen's first scrapbook night and she had a great time! We also got to chat with several girls we have come to know through scrap night! **Jonel**thanks for the goodies!! You are great!

I have been busy...

Last night I was inspired by another photographer to try something new. The results were amazing (at least I think so!!). I managed to take a picture of a spring flower (it was growing behind mom's house back in March) and a picture of baby Toni and make them into one beautiful, dreamy, magical photo. Let's see if you like it as much as I do...

Today started very early. Donald went to my parent's to finish putting a motor into their car at 7:00, right after I had him change some things on my paintball gun. The reason for that? I played PAINTBALL today!! Yippee!!! Noah & I sweated our hind ends off in the smokin' hot weather, and we loved every minuet of it! It's been about a month since we had played so we were overdue. I took my camera (imagine that!) and got a few shots of the boys.

Then I had Donald take a few of me. I am always behind the camera so I have very few pictures of me playing. I'm wearing some new gear from Chicago PSP...new pants & shoes. Gotta look good on the field, right? lol!!

When we got home I got a picture of me with all of my boys. Every day I notice that my kids are getting big, almost as big as their momma!!!

Friends, Food & Fireworks

Yesterday Richmond had their fireworks. So I guess we had a happy 3rd of July! Everyone was going to be getting together at our usual spot. Last night we were talking and we figure that we have been meeting all of our friends there for at least 7, maybe 8 years! And in order for us to get our spot Donald got there a little after 5 o'clock. The fireworks didn't begin until 10:00 so we had a lot of time to socialize before hand!!!

Here are some pictures of me & the girls...that is everyone but Rhi. She made me delete her pictures...little goober!

Me...

Shanny Fanny...

Lori...

Jennifer...

Kristina & Lauren...

One of the best things about this spot is that our truck is right next to the grass and we can keep all of the kids "locked up" in the truck bed!

I Am Married To A Mad Man!!

Donald is crazy. I always knew it. Last night just confirmed what I all ready knew. It was the Derby at the fair. He is starting to become a pro at them. Last night was his fifth. I never get nervous until right before he goes out, and last night was no different. He came out on to the track in the same fashion as always...doing a big spin-out to get the crowd excited. A few hits into it he got slammed by two cars at once and it flipped his car over...and another landed on top of it! After I managed to start breathing again I thought to myself that Donald is going to want a picture of this. Somehow I got a few great shots of it. Don't ask me how, because I was really freaking out!

After they flipped his car back over Donald climbed back in and finished the derby!! It was crazy. The other cars all ganged up on him. He almost flipped a second time. Believe me, I was glad when it was all over! Then again, I can not wait until next year!

Here are a few more photos from the derby & fair.
