a little glimpse into my world...
I GOT A NEW LENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m just a little bit excited, but wait ‘till you see what this baby can do…completely transforming my photography! It’s a 50mm f/1.8 II…it’s amazing! Like they say a picture is worth a thousand words so I’ll be quiet and let you take a look.
Ta-Da!
I love the way these turned out!
What do you all think?!?!?!
Vacations rock! Especially when you are surrounded by the ones you love. And for me that’s my family. We all shared a small cabin…with about enough room to just sleep. My mom loved it! (…it’s probably as close to camping as my dad would care to go and my mom was thrilled)
Our cabin over looked the Lake of the Ozarks, a very beautiful lake. This lake has more shore line than the state of California (a little interesting fact that a native of that area told me)
I was sick the entire time…but still enjoyed myself. We hiked, played volleyball, swam in the lake, etc. A very relaxing few days!
Rest stop fun!
HIKING
The Chapel. The most serene and beautiful place there.
BASKETBALL!
Foggy drifting over the lake one morning
SWIMMING
A bat hanging in the cave…I’m one of those weird people who love bats
And here we all are!!!!!!!!!!
Isaac eating…yeah that’s all he does=)
We had such a good time…but we were so glad to come back home.
While dancing with him during this dance I was amazed at how much my little brother has grown up…HE’S 18 ALREADY!!!!!!
A great guy! We have had so many memories growing up together. Swimming in the river, riding horses, school, etc., I was always the one that had to go find Samuel whenever he disappeared…calm him down when he was mad and comfort him when he was down. Also I knew how best to make fun of him and what buttons to push to make him fighting mad. (yeah rotten, I know)
He’s turned into a charming young man…that smile will get him places=)
I hope he pursues his love for singing, he’s voice is very good. And he had the presence of mind to be excellent on stage…love listening to him perform.
Yep he’s my brother=)
It should be illegal to be this cute…lol!
He was one of the best subjects I’ve had up to date.
What do you all think?
September 11, 2001 seems like ages ago…hard to believe it’s been twelve years since that morning. My memory of that morning isn’t very clear, but I do remember when my family heard the news, we immediately joined hands and prayed for our country. I was scared not understanding exactly what had happened.
Watching the planes hit the towers later that night on TV. Hearing the people screaming, seeing some jump to their deaths, etc., shook me up a bit. George W. Bush reassuring Americans that they would do whatever was necessary to protect us…I believed him.
But one thing that I never questioned was that God would take care of my family.
My dad has always wanted a flag pole and American flag. He’s 61 and finally got his wish to come true. Called everyone outside after the concrete had dried completely, to watch the flag raising. He included the U.S. Marine flag under it…bonus=)
He just sat there and looked at it forever…all by himself. And I’ve caught him several times standing on the porch just looking at it. He said something like ‘’I’ve always wanted a flag pole” Gotta love your parents=)
