Canon Rebel First Photos

Here are the first photos (well, some of them) I took with my Christmas present.  There is a hodgepodge of photos here.  I am trying to find the artistic side of me.  So, enjoy!  And, Merry Christmas to you all!

Christmas craft

So, if you know me at all... You know I cannot claim to be crafty. At. All.

However, I can steal someone else's idea & try not to mess it up too much.

Here is my Christmas craft project. I made 4 of these out of glass tile shower blocks. Actually, I got the ones at Hobby Lobby that had a hole pre-drilled in them. I found some (clearance) letter F's (which I later realized were self-stick create-your-own stamps items). I attached the pictures to the back of the blocks with sticky (cricket-like) vinyl. I watched a video on you-tube for the bow creation as well as the block-photo idea.

**sorry for the poor image quality. These were taken with my camera phone**

I like it. What about you?
Merry Christmas!

Christmas Music & Photos!

Welcome!
I am loving that I can sit at home (er-my dad's house) and listen to these two cd's by Straight No Chaser, OVER AND OVER again! (Holiday Spirits and Christmas Cheers).  Awesome a Capella music.  Funny, too!
  And, just for an added treat - here are some pictures taken by my friend Laray:

Bowling Fun

We went to a bowling party for a 5 year old friend. Here is Caleb... um, "Dancing" and striking a pose. I have no idea... :o)

Caleb tends to throw the ball and then RUN back. Dude! You need to stay and see how you did! But, here he is, mid-run...

Owen really wanted to get in on the bowling fun... Honey, that ball weighs almost as much as you. But, way to match your bowling ball color with your outfit!

Pizza... good!

And this is the wonderful start to our CHRISTmas vacation. Ahhhh, life is good!

YEAH! I am invited!

Thanks to Holly for inviting me to read the shooting allens, again!

I have been needing a twin-boys cutie fix, something fierce! Just makes me want to get my blog up and running again with cutie boy pictures, myself. I happen to know a few (read:couple) of cutie boys. If only I would remember to take my camera OUT and capture some of their cutie-ness.

WOOT!

Thanks, again!

Growing up...

My boys are growing up WAAAAY too fast!

Caleb is already talking about how he's NEARLY five. FIVE?! Seriously? Wait, wasn't I just skipping out on the end of the school year with a brand new Caleb? Geez... He's so grown up. He uses words I had no idea he knew - let alone that he could use them in a sentence - correctly!!! He's doing fantastic on his finger healing. No more freaking out about the way it looks. We go back to wound care tomorrow (err-it's after midnight - so, today), for the first time in a week. It has already reshaped at the tip and is round again! WOWZERS! Little kids heal so fast... and prayers have been working, too. :o)

Owen is 18 months old. WHAT?!! I know, right!!! He just started at "big" school. This is such a blessing! Both boys at the same daycare! What a big relief... and yet... he's not so much a baby anymore. Just since Monday, his language skills have skyrocketed. We are surprised each day with a new word he hadn't said before. For example... he's been signing "please" but not actually saying anything to go with it. Today, I heard (from the backseat, with prompting from big bubba) "peas?" Wow. and here's another favorite: "banket." Love it.

I will post pictures this weekend. As soon as my seester and bro-in-law go back to Vegas... after we watch "New Moon." (again). Nighty nite!

Yeah! Alex and Max Reading continues!!!

***Edited ** to remove Holly's name and the blog name from the title - so it can't be google searched, again!



I was getting better at coming back and checking my blogs... and now... Holly?! I can't get back to you at your blog! Please comment here so I can read your blog again! PLEASE?!

That is all. :o)

Lookin' Good...

The visit to the specialist went amazingly well! Caleb's injury is doing better than expected! Basically we are in a waiting game as far as his recovery goes. We are to keep it clean and covered, moist and protected. The doc even thinks he will have some of the nail growing back at some point in the future!

Now, if we can just keep him from bumping it or playing too rough and removing the protective bandages... :o)

That's a nice thing to have to worry about, though!
