April Flowers

Today I had the great pleasure of being on the receiving end of getting flowers from my boys.  Now, granted, they were dandelions, but it is the thought that counts for sure!  They did this last spring as well.  I just love the looks in their eyes.  They are just wanting to show that they are thinking of me and they know that I love getting flowers.  These are flowers that they can afford.  They can give me something that is only from them and I so love that about them.  Of course, I immediately found a vase suitable for them to fill and it was filled to the brim.  Their thoughtfulness brings a huge smile to my face.  I feel so loved!

Baseball Season

Baseball season has started for both of my boys.  It is pretty exciting to watch them play their games.  The older they get, the more fun it is to watch them play.  Today it was cloudy, so it was perfect for shooting.  My son hit a triple at the end of the game.  Sadly, I had already put the camera away because there was certainly rain coming!  It was all tied up when the game ended, so it was a good way to end it!  It has also been very exciting to do some fast high speed shooting as well.  I love the facial contortions on some of these guys as they bat a pitch.  What a hoot!  Enjoy!

Buds and Blossoms

 It has been so fun to be outside and see all the the things that are "springing" forth!  After the dreary winter, I enjoy seeing the bright yellows, purples, and pinks that are starting to pop out everywhere showing that the world around here is ready to come back to life.  YEAH!  I went out and photographed some of things that I see beginning to blossom around here. 

 

 

This last one was more of anexperiment of sorts.  As I was walking around the house, I saw how strongly the window was reflecting.  I wondered if my camera could even focus on the reflection in the window.  The outcome is interesting to say the least!

Enjoy!

Outside and happy!

I haven't been able to post these for the last week...  We had a great weekend with my parents for Easter.  The weather was gorgeous and the kids were thrilled to be able to go barefoot for a while.  It was exhilarating to be in the warm weather.  I think that when we don't have the cold weather, the warm weather wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable.  We are supposed to have a nice weekend again this weekend.  VERY exciting!

A little bit of playing

Up until now, I have always used some make-shift kind of backdrop when the need arose.  Now, however, I have just gotten in the mail the backdrop set that I ordered!  I had it set up when my boys got home.  One of them was willing to help me "play" but "only  for a few shots".  They are so good to me.  I was pretty happy with the way they turned out so I thought I would post a few here.

Party

  We have survived the birthday party that we have been planning for Aaron.  We ended up having 14 4th grade boys at our house and it was good.  I have just a few photos of some of the party.  Each boy got his own sports bottle and a lanyard with a name on it as well a prize from our prize "store".  They all seemed to have a wonderful time.  We were impressed with all of the "please" and "thank yous" we heard through the 2 1/2 hours.  Couldn't have asked for nicer kids!

My big treat was after sending out my hubby for the cake and some balloons, he came home with a rose for me.  Just to remind me that even when I am in the height of "mommy mode" he loves me as a woman.  It was very sweet!

*just as a quick note, the flower has a weird sharpening affect to it when I load it in here.  Not sure why.  It seems to be doing that some lately. Hmmm*
