Brody Photo Shoot!

So I have been taking this photography class from Dave's wonderful sister who is a Photographer by profession. Me I'm just an amituer learning how to take photos. Anyway it has been a great learning experience! Thanks Jen. So tonight we went to this neat little spot and took photos of Brody and I have to tell you it was freezing cold, he didn't want to take his hands out of his shirt and was being a goofball when he would. Other than that, I will admit I did get some good shots of him under the circumstances! Next time I will know to bring a warm jacket, he picked the sleeveless SuperMan vest, not me! Anyway here is a fun slide show of the shots I got, and I haven't edited any of them yet. Its amazing what your camera can do when you know how to use it!

Springtime Fun!

So on a good day when it isn't snowing around here we enjoy going to the park that is down the street. We love our new neighborhood and the fact that the park is within walking distance. It is so nice! So we ventured out this week and took advantage of some sun! Shelbie couldn't quite figure out how to crawl through the tunnel no matter how many times I tried to convince her to come get me!

Maggie's Final Haircut

Here is the end result, a bag of all the curls and a smile from her!

Maggie and the SCISSORS

This is blog worthy. Yesterday I was upstairs cleaning, the kids are out for spring break and Maggie and me just got home from the movies. She was playing in my office, not sure what she was doing until she came to find me upstairs and said mom, I was using the scissors. She took the scissors to her hair, which I cried. If you fully understood the consequences of this, I have cut Maggies hair maybe 3 or 4 times since she was born. She is five. Her hair takes forever to grow and because it is curly it gives you a false mispresentation of how long it really is. Luckily it wasn't right to the root. So after her attempt to cut it, I took the scissors to her long locks of curls in the back and sadly cut them off. At least 5 inches worth of curls. And she is going to have to wear a bret in the front till her cut bangs grow out so more. She loves the new do, I miss the long lock of curls we took forever to grow. And she has been threatened with her life she ever uses scissors on her hair again. After we got done, she said look mom my hair is short like yours. I like it short. :( for now its going to have to be, we can't glue hair back!

New Family Blog

I'm not sure what is wrong with our old blog, but I can't change the background to make it cute. Plus the links on the side are messed up. So to avoid further frustration with it, I moved back to my blog that I started thinking I would have my own little area, never happened. But for now I'm going to update our family events here. So save this as your new link!
