Shoot Me!: 10

Another great meme brought to us by Carin at Forever In Blue Jeans. Every Thursday post a picture of you with a child, spouse, friend or even by yourself. If you are thinking this challenge is too hard, then this is exactly the challenge you need. Do you have thousands of pictures and you are in none of them? How is that good to your children or loved ones? It’s time you got in the picture, you’ll be glad you did!

18 mo re-visited

I was able to take Lia out for a re-do of her 18 mo photos yesterday.  I was much more pleased with this shoot.  I need to clarify I DO like the photograph of J & L I posted Tuesday.  Nothing wrong with that one...it's just that I didn't particularly care for the images I captured of Lia by herself.  Also note I said I didn't like certain aspects - what I didn't say was what aspects. ;)  I do prefer images that capture the personality of the person, not just a pair of eyes looking straight into the camera and saying "cheese".  And Mizz Lia - she's got personality plus!

18 months

Can anyone tell me where the last 18 months have gone?  Eighteen months ago I had this precious new born baby girl.  There are no words to express how I feel about her.  So I won't even try.  I just have a thankful heart every day for the two beautiful children we have.  They're not perfect, but they're perfect for us.  I don't have that new born baby girl anymore, but I sure do have a beauful, sweet, spicy almost toddler that makes my world go round.  She lights up my life.  (As does her brother.)

I did a photo shoot yesterday but I wasn't pleased with certain aspects so I will do another session soon.  Until then I'll leave you with this...

Bullfighting: Tres

Third and final post about our weekend in Stephenville at the first Federation of Freestyle Bullfighters (FFB) event.  These photos are from after the show was over.  What an evening!

Trace and Trevin clowning around.

Jacob and Lia with their newfound friends...or not!  Mr. T, bullfighter from LA, and Soul Man the clown.  Umm...yeah, Lia was not too impressed when he picked her up!

Jacob having a great time playing with Daddy...I'm thinking Daddy needs his hat to be a bit bigger though!  Lia absolutely REFUSED to look at the camera!

Papa and Nana's eight favorite people in the world!  We're not perfect, but we're theirs! 

(Ketchup faces, tongues sticking out and all!)
