Babysitting

We got to babysit Evie the other night. She is so funny. Here are a few pics:




I knew her Mom would love this picture. I was a little disappointed I couldnt get a better picture, but I am sure Teena will still treasure it. :)

Super Fun Neighbors!

We really enjoy our neighbors. They are all so nice, fun, funny, GENEROUS, etc.
Saturday was such a nice day, all the neighbors ended up outside with the kids, we were all enjoying the refreshing beverages...and before you know it pizza is on the way. I love the spontaneous gatherings, along with the planned gatherings, with our neighbors. The kids also get along so great. It makes it so much fun. Anyway, here a few random pics from the night....

Jared showed up with everyone at our house after a long day at the golf course. He was barely functioning...


I love my Dad. He always seems to make it to everything!!

When I bought my new camera, one of the questions I asked was, can I still take pictures of myself???

Pizza does something for Bob and Katie...it rekindles their affection for each other. Sometimes Jared and I make out over pizza too. :)

Playing with the camera

This camera is still way exciting to me and I love to take pictures with it. Here my kids are hamming it up for the camera... I took pictures of Josh by himself, Jacobb by himself and the boys together. Unfortunately, the lighting is really bad in the pictures of Jacobb by himself.


I love this picture!! The lighting is no perfect. They look soooo cute!

Such a cutie!

I love this picture of Jake. He really likes to read..he is so smart.

Where's Josh!?

Josh has found himself an unusual, but cozy, place to play his DS:

BRAINWASHED? I dont think so!

I may be brainwashed, but I really think I can see a difference in the pictures I take:

This rugrat is Tyler. He is my youngest nephew and has such a cute personality. I was showing his Mom my new camera, and he wanted ALL of the attention!

I cant wait to learn more about my camera and use it to its potential.

Generous In laws!

Jareds parents struck the lottery or something and decided to spend it all on us!! As you read in my last post, my camera died. It was such a good camera and lasted me quite awhile. It lived a good life. Anyhow, Jareds parents bought me a fancy new camera, which I am so thankful and excited for! When I first got the camera, I thought it was a bit "much". I thought I was going to for sure return it. However, every time I would call the camera store inquiring about a different camera, they would tell me how much I would really like this one if I would give it a chance. So, I finally gave it a chance, and you know, I think they were right.

Derek and Cynthia also bought my boys new bikes:

We sure are spoiled!!!! THANK YOU Derek and Cynthia!
Oh, and dont worry, Jared isn't going without anything. His "purchase" is coming........
