New Camera!!


Okay, so I am finally going to share my new camera. I got a Cannon Eos Rebel XT. It has a longer name than that, but that is the basics of it. It is so much fun. My new toy will take three pictures in one second, which is what I need with two boys who don't hold still for anything!! We went to a family reunion for Todd's family a few weeks ago and took some great pictures!! Anyway, I am so excited to really learn all I can about this camera and be able to use it the right way. Sorry, for the boring post, but things are really crazy with my work right now, I have been working 5-7 hours everyday. Hopefully things will get back to the 3-5 hours a day soon and I can get back to posting more often.

Happy 6th Birthday Chase


Yesterday was Chase's 6th birthday. We had so much fun. We took him and three of his friends to Kangaroo Zoo. They did black light miniature golf (twice), and bounced in all the bounce houses for two hours. I think Todd and Jordan had as much fun as the kids, racing through the obstacle courses and down the slides. I missed lots of great pictures, because my camera is too slow, but that won't be a problem any more. After the party, I had had enough, so as an early present to me, we went out and bought a new camera. I will post about that later. Later that night we went to "jump in the water" (The Mayan) for dinner with Grandpa Al and Donna. I am so very proud of Chase and what a big kid he is becoming. Chase you are a great kid, who is so talented with sports and anything you try! Thanks for such a fun day yesterday, we love you so much!

All Tuckered Out!!


Well, after a few days of camping, water, and playing with cousins, Issac was completely worn out. He usually takes at least a 3 hour nap each day, so up camping with only 30 minutes of nap each day, Issac was soooo tuckered out! We finally got him to take a nap out on the water, in a tube! It was so cute!! We just had his in the shallow water and floated him around a little bit, and he just conked right out, so a couple of the boys carried him over to the shade. Palisades was so much fun, it was GREAT to see everyone. We spent lots of time down in the water, daring each other to jump off the dock into the cold water, paddling around in the paddle boats, riding the 4-wheelers, playing games, singing karaoke, and just hanging out, it was awesome! I can't wait to do it again. Hopefully next time I will have a better camera, and I can take lots more pictures!! Thanks to all who were there and made it so much fun, Love ya!
