Holy crud! Has anyone noticed that I have now climbed the ladder to a whole 3 followers! Okay okay...I have to admit that I had to guilt my Aunt into "following" me. I mean I really laid it on THICK! She said she was a "silent follower" and tried to sugar coat it with saying she looks at the site practically ever day. I countered with calling her a "lurker"! Ohhh...Ahhh.... pretty low blow, huh!?! So, have I guilted any of you other lurkers into becoming followers? Let me explain it this way...Are you familiar with FaceBook? Well, if you don't have any friends on FaceBook you look like a LOSER. Practically the same thing with a blog...if only 3 people have the guts to admit they are followers...well I pretty much look like a LOSER!
At least my kids still think I am cool...too bad they are only 4 and 17 mos...oh I am their Mom so they have to like me!
p.s. I love reading comments too! (hint, hint)

I ♥ Faces Week 11 - "No Flash"
This week's theme at I ♥ Faces is "No Flash" I have really been working on taking natural light pictures lately and the other day I just happened to catch my son in a cooperative modeling mood. Well...sort of. He was using an empty Girl Scout Cookies box as a prop but I just love how the blue in the box brings out the blue in his eyes. If you look hard enough at his eyes, you can see the reflection of the sliding glass doors and the sunbeam on the floor. Pretty darn cool!

Black & White Batman
Remember how I told you Grant is addicted to playing Lego Batman on the wii? Well the other day after his birthday party he just HAD to come home and play his game while wearing his new Batman "clothes."
He gets so excited when he talks about the "bad guys" and how Batman SAVES THE DAY!
Sometimes I think he believes he has super powers when he has on his "clothes" and cape. But remember: 'You have to take off your cape and when you go to sleep and when you go potty cause you don't want to accidentally pee on it!'
I sure am going to miss that look of excitement and wonder on my children's faces someday.
On a more up-beat note. I have been practicing taking pictures without a flash. I just love the look of natural light. This is very hard to do in our house unless it is in our porch. Our house lets in light, but not enough for taking pictures, especially in the afternoon. I might have to invest in another lens for pics inside of our house I guess. I just hate the shadows that the flash causes most of the time.
Thanks to everyone for listening to me babble. This blog has become such a great outlet for me to document the every day things going on in our life. Hope you are enjoying it as much as I am!

My little Moo Moo loves to hang around with her big brother, but since she doesn't play Lego Batman very well yet she just climbs around and plays while the Punk is in his little trance! Can't you just see "Little Stinker" written across her forehead??!!
I sure am going to miss that look of excitement and wonder on my children's faces someday.
I am so happy that I have the opportunity to capture images of my kids practically ever day. Most people think I am nuts for taking so many pictures. I like to think of it as capturing moments in time. Plus, practice makes perfect...right?
I am also so thankful that I have to happy and healthy children. I sincerely believe that until you become a parent, you truly can not understand unconditional love. I have seen many families go through tough times and heartache and I pray ever day that our family never has to endure that kind of pain. But the worry never stops. Even as I type and the kids are in the next room playing I can't help but wonder what kind of trouble they are getting into. Hopefully the worst is getting Play Dough wedged in the cracks of our wooden floor!
