Say "Cheese"

Jarom earned his Eagle Scout ranking and we're working on the announcements to send in the mail. I was dragging my feet and then BOOM, it's two weeks away and now I'm rushed and the picture part hasn't turned out well. AARGHH!! Too late, they have to go out and now I've learned my lesson on florescent lighting (don't take an indoor portrait print anywhere near them) and I need to enroll immediately in a photoshop course.

14 [almost 15] year old boys do not cooperate in photo shoots. Here is proof:

Big Growed up kids...

This Mother's Day video makes me laugh every time because...well, the mushy ones make me cry and this just depicts a photo session with kids so well and there are only TWO haha Try 4 or more. One year I tried to get a good Christmas pic of the kids PLUS our beloved Golden Retrievers BAD IDEA. By the end of the shot, I was FUMING because the dogs were retarded especially Copper, only Courtney was posing of course and Mikki was too little & squirmy and I think I yelled "SMILE IT'S CHRISTMAS quit being brats!!" At the end of the shoot with many, many bad shots one of my kids says "Hey Mom, for your photography business you should put on your cards 'Specializes in children and pets'". Thanks gang.

Only a few days left...

Two of my favorite things...my Jasmine bushes and windchimes.


The bushes are in full bloom and smell so delicious! I need to make time while the fragrance is still thick to read a good book in my hammock. If a slight breeze would just blow through ...

I will be in Heaven!
