Just wanted to share a pic from our walk today. As I was passing an alley, I noticed that this home had a pretty climbing foliage at the back of their house. They do this to prevent graffiti... If they only knew how to prevent trespassing photographers!! HAHA All the dogs in the neighborhood were barking at us. Got a few cute ones though. Enjoy...
Saturday was a hectic day, BUT I have been wanting to get my kids their pics done since picture day at school passed! I don't care anyways, because I never like the way school photos come out! Plus they're expensive, and you have NO options! But my kids got a fresh hair cut anyways so that at least when other kids see their class picture they don't remember my boys as some homeless harried dirtballs! :) And the class picture is a whole other "issue" with me. I'm not sure if it's just my kids' school, or not, but I HATE how they just put individual photos of each kid onto an 8x10, and that's supposed to be the "class" picture. I remember when the kids had to stand together, and smile all at once. I liked those ones better. They have more feeling, more character! Any whoo, Here are my chil'ren...
Elijah's got to be the HARDEST child on the face of the earth to capture a decent photograph of! When I say smile, he smiles and closes his eyes, when I say "no, open your eyes, he opens his eyes, and stops smiling, then when I finally get him to do both he's completely looking the other way. He is just not a natural when it comes to the camera. As soon as the lens points his way, a wierd boy comes out who doesn't understand what a regular face looks like. He's known for his cuteness, but you wouldn't know it by his "outtakes", and trust me, there are plenty!
But I actually did get a coupld decent ones. You should of seen me on the other end of the camera, acting a fool all jumpy and squeeky! Whatever works... Whatever works.
I accidentaly took this one when I was trying to get my settings on my camera right. I just liked the colors, and the background, and how you couldn't see anyone's face.
She wasn't supposed to be in any, but she insisted on getting in my way! So I figured, hey, she's there, my camera's out, might as well. She was not at all dressed for pics, and her hair wasn't done, she had no shoes on, and slobber down the front of her shirt. But I like it. She was trying to eat those flowers too by the way...
Ahh.... Gabe.... He's a natural. He's always been a little model. I'd put him in modeling if I didn't worry about his "attitude" Seriously, this kid LOVES to pose. He has all his own ideas, and outfits in mind. He knows what he wants it to look like, and he's not afraid to tell me "no mom, take the picture from down there" FOR REALS!!! He tells me which angle to shoot! Crazy kid...
I can't complain tho. He makes portrait photography look easy. It is easy with him... He does everything for me. Love this guy. He's growing up too fast.
Again ladies and gents, He does his own posing...
I din't mean for their "school" pics to come out all senior portraits ish... They just did. 
Well, that's all for now... MORE TO COME!
Hi THERE! I am blessed this morning. I feel good. My family feels good, and best of all, God is good. Well, He's always good, but still, if you're having a good day, you better mention how good He is! This weekend was nice. My hubby's tia came down from new mexico and hung out with us for a while. Then we had our weekly friendship group which was "cook off" themed. I didn't win. Actually, i didn't "technically" participate. We were supposed to make CHILI RELLENOS! I can't make that! So, I cheated,and made ENCHILADAS! Besides, there was no way my kids would sit down and voluntarily EAT chilis! Our next "cook off" is actually a bake off! I'm going to make this supreme chocolate cherry cake!! ooooh.... Okay, with no further adieu, here are some pics. This one here is at our evangelistic event. Gabe and I were painting faces, and he did a WAY better job than me. This little guy spoke only spanish, but even without understanding him, I could tell he had a great time! My hubby too. He's so cool.
Here are my 2 precious, sweet, upstanding,little gentlemen, and their friends. Okay, so I exaggerated a little. They're actually rough and tough, dirty and frankly, kinda mean. But I love em! These are my next door neighbors, and the boys from up the street. They always play in my front yard. We're like the hot spot for the neighborhood kids. And now, they're all growing up, and into football. Long gone are the days of little trains, and army men. boo.. ENJOY!
And now one of my baby boy elijah. Okay, he hates it when i call him my baby boy... He's 6. It's a little blown out, but I still like it! Hope you do too.
Whatever things are lovely, and are praise worthy... think on these things!
WOW it's been a long time! (I bet no one's even noticed huh..) Anywhoo, just in case someone ACTUALLY looks at my little ole blog, I have a new one. I haven't done much lately, but i am happy with this one that i took while me and the kiddos were going for a walk. Enjoy...
Woah, that's a big pic. I'll probably come back some time later, and fix that!
Well, good night for now!
